Hotel records don't match Lemme's movements.  The Valdosta, Georgia Knights Inn is a two-hour drive from Tallahassee, Florida where Lemme lived and worked.  The check-in receipt shows Lemme arriving on Sunday, June 29 at 6:44 PM.  The check-out receipt shows him leaving on Monday at 6:54 AM.  Investigators dismiss these discrepancies as a computer error.  Friedman's request for copies of the credit card receipts from the police was denied.  This evidence would corroborate or refute police assertions.

Lemme's body was reportedly discovered on Tuesday, July 1st in a bathtub at the Knights Inn Valdosta.  His arm was sliced open by a razor blade, also left at the scene.  His unsigned suicide note failed to mention his only child, who was due to be married shortly.  Friedman advises that the police report fails to mention what may be a large perimortem bruise on the right side of his neck.  Nor does it mention what appears to be an abrasion on Lemme's right cheek.  Friedman acquired the crime scene photos and contrast-enhanced the second picture below, which makes the contusion more obvious:

In MSVL, Friedman reports that after exposing some of this information on his blog, the Valdosta Police Department reopened the case.  They quickly closed it after speaking with someone from FDOT.  The reason for this remains unexplained. 

Espionage 

Curtis' allegations, which Lemme investigated, also fingered Henry Nee as an illegal alien who passed radar guidance system chips for the Hellfire antitank missile to the Chinese.  Curtis and Nee worked for Yang Enterprises, based in Oviedo, Florida.  For over a decade, the US has sold such weaponry to Taiwan, which no doubt explains China's interest in the technology.  The US increased its arms deals with Taiwan in 2002 under the Bush II Administration.  Nee admitted his guilt, was fined $100 and given three years probation.  

The brother of Yang's CEO had already been deported for spying for China, yet the Dept. of Homeland Security apparently believed that was no reason to kill any contracts with the firm.  Curtis alleged in his affidavit that Mrs. Yang provided Nee "with many gigabytes of downloaded information from NASA ... which he took from the premises" several times. 

Curtis also reported to state and federal authorities that he personally witnessed Mrs. Yang sending "a great deal of internal information to her brother in China." 

Cyber Theft of US Elections 

Curtis led a high-tech workshop at the 2005 Nashville conference where he showed how a mere twenty-four lines of code could flip votes without anyone's knowledge.

In October of 2000, Curtis worked as the technology advisor to Yang Enterprises, Inc.  At the time, Yang held top secret contracts with NASA and several other government agencies, including Florida.  According to Curtis' affidavit filed with the House Judiciary Committee, he met with consultant Tom Feeney (now-Congressman, R-FL, 24th District); Yang CEO, Li-Woan Yang; and her executive secretary, Mike Cohen.  During that meeting, Feeney asked if Yang could develop vote-switching software.  Feeney specified that: 

"(a) the program needed to be touch-screen capable, (b) the user should be able to trigger the program without any additional equipment, (c) the programming to accomplish this remain hidden even if the source code was inspected." 


Tom Feeney is closely tied to George W. Bush
 

Feeney ran with Jeb Bush in an unsuccessful bid for Florida's top spot in 1994. When he served as a consultant for Yang Enterprises in 2000, Feeney was also a registered lobbyist and later served as Florida's Speaker of the House. 

Curtis wrote the hundred lines of malicious code (only 24 of which actually switch the vote) and provided a copy to Hai Lin Nee, the Quality Control person at YEI who studied and approved it for distribution.  Curtis then submitted the malware and his report to Mrs. Yang:

Initially focused on elections, she investigated the 2004 Ohio election, organizing, training and leading several forays into counties to photograph the 2004 ballots. She officially served at three recounts, including the 2004 recount. She also organized and led the team that audited Franklin County Ohio's 2006 election, proving the number of voter signatures did not match official results. Her work appears in three books.

Her blogs also address religious, gender, sexual and racial equality, as well as environmental issues; and are sprinkled with book and film reviews on various topics. She spent most of her working life as a researcher or investigator for private lawyers, and five years as an editor.

She graduated from The Ohio State University's School of Agriculture in December 2003 with a B.S. in Natural Resources.
