(Rekeyed version of notes by Alfred Trenkler on 4 June 2006 regarding the ATF interview with Donna Shea 5 November 1991.)
In order to peak the agents' interest since this was now a way Donna Shea could ruin me, her attitude [was] if she can't have my money I sure as Hell can't. She would say I was some kind of perverted coke user.
Back in 1986, I hired John Shea to help with construction work. l While John was most happy getting out of the house, Donna wanted a bigger piece of the action. She needed to keep up payments with her Trans-Am, Thunderbird, house trailer, cabin cruiser motorboat, vacation rental in New Hampshire and her yearly Disney World trip with her husband and 3 kids. John was great at construction, but was not an engineer and not worth paying 50K per year. Working with Donna's husband was more like working for Donna Shea.
After the 1986 fiasco I started pulling away from Donna Shea and by 1988 I completely shut her out by shutting AWT Associates and going back to freelance work.
How do I steal checks from my checking account, nor would I. I was the signer. The account was under my name. I would only be stealing from myself. Does not make sense and makes for an accounting nightmare.
Race, Inc. I have never heard of. I'm not sure where Donna came up with that.
Rich Brown and I did work at Cambridge Electric Trains from 1 a.m. until 5 a.m. changing out two way radios on MBTA busses Monday to Friday. Rich kept his job at Davidson Distributing until March '91.
As for inheriting 100K, no one in my family had passed away since my grandmother in 1986 passed away.
As for the Blue Hills, I used to go motorcross riding with friends from Milton in the '70's and was a member of Friends of Blue Hills. In the '80's I would go four wheeling with friends in our Jeeps. From '81-'86 I worked on the Boston Catholic TV translator site on the WGBH tower and transmitter building next to the Blue Hills Observatory. I wonder how 14-15 old's are able to drive around the Blue Hills and on the highways when Massachusetts does not hand out licenses unless one is 16 1/2 years old. The only time I was in the Blue Hills was in 1991 where John Cates and I would take his Chinese Chow and let him (Biko) run free in remote areas of the woods.
Again, Donna Shea was telling agents things she knew agents wanted to hear.
Donna considered Bill Lannergan an Thomas Tierney to be gay lovers. Lannergan and Thomas Tierney were the two Quincy Police detectives involved with the '86 incident. She called them Starsky and Hutch.
Jack Coyle liked listening to whacked our show tunes. As a prank I rigged up his turntable so that when he played his records it would transmit the music to the stereo on the third floor.
To this day, Donna blames me for the '86 act. Even Donna admitted to the grand jury that she had purchased the remote control toy car with me for the '86 prank.
Mike Coady - one of Donna Shea's minions. Coady would say anything for the right deal. He had a police record and needed to have it expunged in order to get a law degree. Coady was trying to learn how to file lawsuits on his road to riches. Donna gave agents Coady's name, knowing she could coach Coady on what to say.
