\nTRACY PARKS
\nGROVER DAVIS
\nHYACINTH THRASH

5. THE OTHERS DETAINED -THE CARTERS AND PROKES- HAVE BEEN SEPARATED BECAUSE OF ANXIETY ON THE PART OF THE ORIGINAL EVE LEARY GROUP. THE LATTER GROUP FEELS THAT THE THREE WERE DEEPLY INVOLVED IN THE AIRPORT AND\/OR MASS SUICIDE EVENTS. IMPRESSION OF CONSULAR OFFICER VISITING EVE LEARY THIS EVENING IS THAT THEY ALSO MAY BE CHARGED, AND SEPARATION IS NOT DUE SOLELY TO VERY REAL ANIMOSITY OF ORIGINAL EVE LEARY GROUP. THEIR LEGAL STATUS, HOWEVER, IS NOT RPT NOT CLEAR AT THIS MOMENT. <\/p>\n

6. CONSULAR OFFICER ARRIVED AT EVE LEARY TO SEE NEWLY ARRIVED GROUP FROM PT KAITUMA JUST AS CARTER BROTHERS AND PROKES WERE BEING REMOVED TO THE “LOCK-UP”. TIMOTHY CARTER, KNOWN BY THE OFFICER, SHOUTED OUT THAT THEY HAD NOT BEEN ALLOWED TO CONTACT EMBASSY, DID NOT KNOW WHY THEY WERE BEING LOCKED-UP, ETC. THE POLICE OFFICER IN CHARGE (THIS WAS AT 10 PM LOCAL TIME) SUGGESTED AN OFFICIAL MEETING WITH THEM TOMORROW, BUT AT LAST AGREED TO PRO-FORMA MEETING TONIGHT. PRIVACY ACT AND SUBSISTENCE AGREEMENTS WERE SIGNED, NOK INFO TAKEN, FOOD PROVIDED, ETC. <\/p>\n
