INSIDE THE INVESTIGATION WEEK FOUR Part 12: Tori Green and Bradley Gordon - The Witness and the Lawyer     

Tori Green was the mystery woman "femme fatale" who was in attendance at a meeting along with two other individuals with Dave Walker two days before Walker vanished.  According to Dave's business partner Sonny Chhoun, the two men Dave was meeting with, Salao Mao and Chandy "Andy" Long had reason to do Dave harm.  Sonny stated that last calls to Dave's cell phone came from these two individuals and Sonny contacted Salao Mao about Dave's disappearance and alleged that Salao had reacted suspiciously. [See Page 3]

Now that Tammy Madon on my explicit advice had finally retained an attorney in Cambodia who had first contacted me, Bradley Gordon, [See Page 12] I felt that the situation was coming under sufficient control to start reviewing loose ends left in Cambodia.  And one of them was this lack of any statement from Tori Green (unless somebody was withholding her statement) as to what had transpired in that meeting that Dave had before his disappearance.    It was important to confirm or probe Sonny Chhoun's version of events.

Talking with the "mystery woman" Tori Green was going to be like trying to snake-charm a cobra with bipolar disorder:

Peter VronskyTuesday, March 4, 2014 at 10:36pm EST

Hi Tori This is Peter Vronsky a friend of Dave's. Are you in Siem Reap?Tori Green

Tori GreenTuesday, March 4, 2014 at 10:38pm EST

Friends write a message first to introduce themselves and they do not suggest that Daves friends here are doing nothing .

[The Phnom Penh Post [PPP] ran a story earlier that day quoting Cambodian police criticizing some of Dave's friends.  I posted a link to the story on the FIND DAVE WALKER Facebook Page with a comment "I hope this is not true."]

Peter VronskyTuesday, March 4, 2014 at 10:39pm EST

I did not. The PPP press did. I commented I hope its not true.  I have been a friend of Dave's for 25 years. He is my best friend. How more can I intro myself to you.

Tori GreenTuesday, March 4, 2014 at 10:43pm EST

Why haven't we heard from you before then? I appreciate the frustration you must all feel not being here BUT there has been a serious lack of support for those of us here who have been holding things together and your pushing the PPP article was ignorant and unkind to both Sonny and others.

Peter VronskyTuesday, March 4, 2014 at 10:47pm EST

There is a lot going on and I have been in regular touch with a circle of people in Siem Reap -- not you though -- although I heard about you. There was a problem with a few friends of Dave's withholding information from police. There are circles and circles of people. I have actually been chatting with Sonny -- why unkind?

Tori GreenTuesday, March 4, 2014 at 10:48pm EST

Then you should know how much I have helped via your contacts.

Peter VronskyTuesday, March 4, 2014 at 10:49pm EST

Not really. The only thing I heard was that you were at a dinner that Dave was at on Feb 12.

Tori GreenTuesday, March 4, 2014 at 10:49pm EST

Sonnys reply to you online shows why unkind.

 Peter VronskyTuesday, March 4, 2014 at 10:50pm EST

I don't think its to me. I think its to PP Post. Sonny and I chat and Facebook and e-mail. We don't talk on the phone.

Tori GreenTuesday, March 4, 2014 at 10:52pm EST

There was no dinner on the 12th. And, of course his reply is to anyone who suggests his friends weren't helpful. You have no Idea how helpful we have been because you haven't spoken to us or considered our situation on the ground enough. Many more helped and help than don't but we don't post it all over fb.

Peter Vronsky Tuesday, March 4, 2014 at 10:53pm EST

In fact I am the only person who stood out and thanked Sonny for "standing up for brother Dave."

Tori GreenTuesday, March 4, 2014 at 10:53pm EST

Yes, I think you were patronising him frankly.

Peter VronskyTuesday, March 4, 2014 at 10:54pm EST

I never said "I love you" publically to anyone. Never in my entire life. I am trying to save Dave's life. I believe it is very likely he is still alive.

Tori GreenTuesday, March 4, 2014 at 10:55pm EST

Sonny was also standing up for his other friends in that message who the press and yourself suggest weren't helping

Well, why the fuck didn't you get in touch 2 weeks ago then!

Peter VronskyTuesday, March 4, 2014 at 10:56pm EST

What friends? I don't understand. There are circles of friends. And the circles do not talk to each other. While the other circles talk about the other. You know what I mean... we have not come across each other among our mutual friends of Dave. How come?

Tori GreenTuesday, March 4, 2014 at 10:58pm EST

No idea. Dave was my friend. I drank coffee with him regularly, I know who I know but I don't know you either.

Peter VronskyTuesday, March 4, 2014 at 10:59pm EST

Exactly! And I find that strange. How come we did not find each other on all those hundreds of e-mails that went around. Either we know a completely different circle of Dave's friends - or our friends are keeping us away from each other.

Check your e-mails for a single cc:  xxxx@xxxxxxxxxxx   It's even the e-mail on the poster.

Tori GreenTuesday, March 4, 2014 at 11:01pm EST

which email are you using peter?

Peter VronskyTuesday, March 4, 2014 at 11:02pm EST

xxxx@xxxxxxxxxxx

Tori GreenTuesday, March 4, 2014 at 11:02pm EST

It wasn't on those emails, i have been receiving them all though

peter, which of my emails have you sent something to?

Peter VronskyTuesday, March 4, 2014 at 11:04pm EST

None. I don't have your e-mail.

Tori GreenTuesday, March 4, 2014 at 11:04pm EST

Exactly.

Peter VronskyTuesday, March 4, 2014 at 11:06pm EST

Exactly. Nobody gave it to me. Send me an e-mail to xxxx@xxxxxxxxxxx and I will ding it back to you in a minute or two.

Tori GreenTuesday, March 4, 2014 at 11:07pm EST

Your suppositions are silly. How about the fact that I was protecting myself from people I didn't trust like the man who writes serial killer books and has a profile picture of himself behind bars. ;)  [My Facebook profile was not of myself, but a photo by Weegee of a jailed prisoner.]

Now then, I will reiterate anything I have said or do say is not for publication. I am anonymous and locationless because I am lone woman living here and I am mother. I am in touch with Nate Thayer and he knows all I know.

If the family send a PI [private investigator] I would be happy to speak confidentially with them too if proven and approved.

I have also seen immigration police.

Tori GreenTuesday, March 4, 2014 at 11:11pm EST

And as for that water bottle idea. [ See Page 5 ] You ever been to Cambodia?

Peter VronskyTuesday, March 4, 2014 at 11:14pm EST

Never been to Cambodia but places like it yes. And know the recycle value

There is something providential about the way my search for Dave has been unfolding and Dave's life was worth a walk along that route. You never know - the gods move in mysterious providential karmic way but only if we think like them -- anything is possible. Take a walk in the sunshine... snap some pics - hey, what the hell maybe somebody would see something new. Something physical. We got to think like gods to find Dave. He deserves it.

Tori GreenTuesday, March 4, 2014 at 11:14pm EST

I think like a goddess not a god sir.  That's why D and I were friends too.

Peter VronskyTuesday, March 4, 2014 at 11:14pm EST

I thought god was woman. What is a goddess?

Tori GreenTuesday, March 4, 2014 at 11:15pm EST

Why are we talking like this? This is not helping Dave.

I am busy. My email is easily finable. Use it if you have some serious questions or thoughts to make.

Peter VronskyTuesday, March 4, 2014 at 11:16pm EST

I have very serious questions. Let me tell you what we think we know about you.

Tori GreenTuesday, March 4, 2014 at 11:16pm EST

Go for it. I'm all ears.

Peter VronskyTuesday, March 4, 2014 at 11:18pm EST

We refer to you as "the mystery woman who Dave had dinner with and a few other guest shortly before he disappeared."

Tori GreenTuesday, March 4, 2014 at 11:19pm EST

It wasn't dinner. It was coffee. Your sources are crap.

Peter VronskyTuesday, March 4, 2014 at 11:19pm EST

Who has taken your statement? etc

Have you been interviewed by the Cambodian Police?

Anybody official. Canadian consul?

Tori GreenTuesday, March 4, 2014 at 11:20pm EST

Yup Cambodian police, have even met the big boss.

Canadians? Nope they came and ran. No interest.

Tori GreenTuesday, March 4, 2014 at 11:21pm EST

Now then, aren't you meant to be in touch with Nate Thayer?

Peter VronskyTuesday, March 4, 2014 at 11:24pm EST

Nate Thayer and I have differences. He is looking for Dave his way. I my way. And we report to the same place.

Tori GreenTuesday, March 4, 2014 at 11:25pm EST

I have already repeated my side of things too many times and you are not winning my trust sir.

Peter VronskyTuesday, March 4, 2014 at 11:32pm EST

I wish you would repeat it one more time to the e-mail on the poster - my e-mail. I am working with Dave s family - I have a direct line to the Canadian police agency here -- or if you don't trust me - send it to the Edmonton Police e-mail. Would you do this?

Tori GreenTuesday, March 4, 2014 at 11:32pm EST

why hasn't nate passed it on already?

Peter VronskyTuesday, March 4, 2014 at 11:34pm EST

Nate has not been sharing. Do you know him personally, very hard to work with. He has threatened to quit if he did not get his way. My take on Nate was "he just might be crazy enough to find Dave", But he does not share.

Everybody has big egos. I have a honker of an ego too.

And we are all saying to each other "ITS ABOUT DAVE.That is usually the war cry when Nate and I went at it.

The family is letting him run loose and do his thing. I support that idea. Even police here say let him run free. He has been running free since Sunday. He reports to the family but not through me. I do the Canadian end.

I give Nate priority because he is doing the field. I am looking for the paper lead if any here and trying to put together chronologies.

I talk with Edmonton Police here. I also advise Dave's family on communications, strategy etc. Tammy is pretty sharp too and now they have brought in lawyers.

Tori GreenTuesday, March 4, 2014 at 11:42pm EST

I will get back to you. email me something clearer. i have to look out for myself here. will they bring in a pi? it might be wise.

YOU must take into account that this is a small country and I work with hundreds of brave, bright, clever young people. they are far more important to me than old men, with big egos playing old war games. I have also been in a very a vulnerable situation because of this and unless that is appreciated and I receive reassurance, true support I will stop communications. Google me, I won't be a mystery then will I

I need to know what your latest update is on investigations. things have gone quiet here though there is a high khmer police presence and they are visiting the right places at last. bit like you. i am not ruffling feathers or kicking dust right now.

Peter VronskyTuesday, March 4, 2014 at 11:50pm EST

The latest thing I heard was that Sonny was taken into protective custody yesterday and that his second interview began this morning at 10:00 AM. This is uncoiling into something big.

Tori GreenTuesday, March 4, 2014 at 11:51pm EST

fuck

Peter VronskyTuesday, March 4, 2014 at 11:51pm EST

I never met Sonny. I am objective.

Tori GreenTuesday, March 4, 2014 at 11:52pm EST

He is a good man, he doesn't laugh anymore. He used to laugh so much.

I am upset. I am going to see friends, I feel vulnerable. Do you know who he needs to be protected from?

Peter VronskyTuesday, March 4, 2014 at 11:52pm EST

I hope that Sonny is the friend that Dave deserves.

The problem for Sonny is that since there was no wife involved, woman, girl, or boy,,, the next suspect is the current [business] partner... and the suspect after that is the guy they say you and Dave met for dinner - which I now understand was for coffee but only because I started talking to you. Finally

Tori GreenWednesday, March 5, 2014 at 12:13am EST

listen remember we are in the future here, sonny was in for a long day maybe 2 days ago. are the states really that far behind?

Peter VronskyWednesday, March 5, 2014 at 12:13am EST

You are 12 hours tomorrow. I am in Toronto. It just clicked by midnight.

Tori GreenWednesday, March 5, 2014 at 12:15am EST

ok

Tori Green was afraid and angry that Nate Thayer from the safety of Washington had questioned her but left her unprotected in Cambodia.  I immediately urged Tori to contact our recently retained attorney Bradley Gordon in Phnom Penh.  I thought this would be the best thing I could do for her security from where I was in distant Toronto.  One moment Tori was helpful and open and then the next she would suddenly become hostile and suspicious.


Peter Vronsky Friday, March 7, 2014 at 1:15am EST

I am going to give you the name of Dave's attorney in Cambodia.
Brad Gordon from Gordon Associates in PP Tel: (855) 16 503 727

Tori Green Friday, March 7, 2014 at 1:17am EST

Do not blame me for time wasted. I have wasted none. I am here. You are there. For the first 2 weeks I had 2 hours sleep a night. If his family want to get in touch fine. If Edmonton want to get in touch fine. If his Attorney wants to get in touch fine. But I am not talking with a picture of a man behind bars who writes serial killer books and is crap at research any longer right now/ Sorry! Pass my details on, I have been on the ground too long. You lot need to wake up.

Peter Vronsky Friday, March 7, 2014 at 1:20am EST

You guys know we are a million miles away. And it is always the same story. You won't talk to us because we did not get to you yesterday. You know everything on "the ground" but we assholes back in head office don't know anything. I am here. I came to you. I laid out for you with no bullshit why I am here asking you questions. My pictures are all over my facebook -- its an open public facebook -- 
The lawyer does not need to call you.  I am calling you.

Tori Green Friday, March 7, 2014 at 1:22am EST

All I am asking is some respect and gentlemanly manners for the girl stuck in the middle of a story neither of us could make up.

Peter Vronsky Friday, March 7, 2014 at 1:22am EST

Right now I am calling you.  I don't feel disrespectful to you, but you are making me feel incompetent and blind. I am doing my best from 12 hours in the past.
I am just trying to save Dave. I am doing everything I can. I may not get it right, but I am doing everything I can.

And you already talked to Nate and Nate is not sharing anything. In fact I just learned that two weeks ago he sabotaged a PI who a friend of Dave's wanted to send here.

Tori Green Friday, March 7, 2014 at 1:25am EST

i am upset, i need to see my friends.

Peter Vronsky Friday, March 7, 2014 at 1:27am EST

I've been upset for three weeks

Tori Green Friday, March 7, 2014 at 1:27am EST

skype?

Peter Vronsky Friday, March 7, 2014 at 1:27am EST

Yes

Tori GreenTori Green and I now went on video Skype. It was straight out of Roman Polanski's Chinatown.  She was reposing on a bed before her laptop camera, in an opium den-like silky robe, a skinny forty-something over-aged skateboard gurl, the side of her head buzz-cut short with a crazy curling ratty loose lock of hair, all paranoid, tweaky and as hissy as civet cat, rattling away into the camera on Skype five hundred words a minute once she got going.

She and Dave were friends.  Dave frequently dropped by the Karma Bar where she worked for coffee.

She knew "Andy" Long as "Mr. Sok San", the same name as the road on which a strip of karaoke bars, nightclubs and hotels were located, some of which he owned.  On Wednesday, February 12, Andy Long and Salao Mao had come by to meet with her in the Karma Bar to advise with her about a Western style wine bar that Long wanted to open and an event they wanted to stage there.  Sonny and Dave happened to be in the coffee bar and joined Salao, Andy and Tori.  It appeared to Tori that Dave and Sonny had other on-going business with Andy Long, but she did not know what it was about in any detail.

She agree to see the venue for the wine bar and for the event planned there on the evening of Friday, February 14 and was under the impression that Dave was going to be there as well to be introduced to potential investors in his film.

In the late afternoon of February 14 at around 5:00 P.M. Salao Mao appeared at the Karma Bar behind the wheel of Andy Long's vehicle.  She remarked that this was unusual as Salao is usually on a moped.  Tori stated that Salao drove her to the venue and that she was "annoyed" and "troubled" that Dave Walker had not accompanied them that evening.  It made her "afraid" she said, without specifying why.

After looking at the venue, Tori stated that she got out of there as fast as she could because she was feeling uncomfortable.  Salao Mao drove her back to the Karma Bar at about 7:00 P.M.  Shortly after that Tori stated that she received a call from Sonny Chhoun asking her if she had seen Dave.

Tori Green stated that she had been recently interviewed by the Cambodian Immigration police and that a senior police officer warned her not to get involved in the search for Dave Walker; not to hang posters or ask questions.  Green stated that the officer was wearing an expensive watch and jewelry -- all blinged out -- and appeared menacing toward her in his demeanour.

Peter Vronsky Friday, March 7, 2014 at 11:12am EST

Torri, thanks for talking to me last night. I am at least reassured that buried in your statement is no immediate key to finding Dave. Just the same, and only if you feel comfortable, and have the time, write up a statement, including all the weird shit too that you might not have mentioned to the Cambodian Pol, and send it along to me. If you want I will strip your name from it before getting it to Edmonton PD. My worry is the same for Cambodian Police as with Nate -- that they are not sharing or have some agenda we might not be aware of. This way at least the Edmonton PD can get a sense if Cambodian PD are actually working with them, or holding back their stuff.

But to be up front with you, if Edmonton PD then ask for your name, I would give it to them. (I would however let you know they asked for it and now have it.) That is the best I can do.

Our lawyer in Cambodia, I cannot vouch for his connections or clients, but he seems okay and we hired him on the basis of his advice during the crisis - he gave some good advice I thought. In fact here is one thing he said, you tell me if this guy is dumb or on target: He said we should focus more on television adverts than in print. That Khmers watch way more TV than print media. That made sense to me from other Third World places I worked...

Edmonton PD is asking Cambodia PD for copies of all the statements from Dave's friends collected by them. Your statement is the litmus test if Cambodians are sharing what asked or holding things back. And what... I am very nervous that the Cambodian PD is covering up rather than investigating.

Also, don't friend me. I sent you a friend request a few days ago. Don't now. We'll be friends when this is over.

Tori GreenSaturday, March 8, 2014 at 12:42am EST

Of course the Cambodian police are covering up. No question about that. And, why do you think I haven't accepted your friend request. remember, 12 hours in the future here Peter ;)

I have no interest in tripping up any other investigations going on, they may well be long on going things that we have UTTERLY NO comprehension of.

Peter VronskySaturday, March 8, 2014 at 1:39am EST

Absolutely. But cop in Canada working Dave's case told me "for our purposes there is no such thing as too much information." I'll make sure this goes up and they don't need to know where this came from.

Peter VronskySunday, March 9, 2014 at 5:58pm EDT

I suggest that you establish contact with our attorney in Cambodia, Brad Gordon from Gordon Associates in PP Tel: (855) 16 503 727 -- he is in Singapore today but should be back in Phnom Pehn on Tues and might be in Siem Reap end of the week. He knows who you are so you probably do not need to retell your story, but he may have some specific questions, and I think it would be good for you to have a contact in Dave's family forces... just in case you need help. Let me know if you hear anything on the ground there.

Tori GreenSunday, March 9, 2014 at 8:24pm EDT

I am not getting in touch with anyone i haven't met before, if Gordon Associates want to talk to me, they can. I am glad you have finally come to the same conclusion that I have been living with since d's disappearance and understand my vulnerable position now. Took you awhile didn't it.
 

Peter VronskySunday, March 9, 2014 at 8:51pm EDT

You have the lawyers number. I'll pass the e-mail. He will put it on his list somewhere. You have the number. He reps the family, so its next best thing to having Dave's lawyer's number.

Tori GreenSunday, March 9, 2014 at 8:52pm EDT

I still dont see how it helps me

Peter VronskySunday, March 9, 2014 at 8:57pm EDT

You are clearly afraid. The more you know and see the safer you can make it for yourself

Tori GreenSunday, March 9, 2014 at 8:58pm EDT

I do not want to KNOW.

I have had enough communicating with you. You are putting my back up. Have taken too long to get to the conclusions we are living with. And are now scaring me again with concerns I am already stuck in.

Got any concrete support on the ground, safe house, etc let me know otherwise leave me alone.

I have not been able to work privately for the last 3 weeks, I have $1 in my purse. And you are telling me to phone bangkok, canada etc etc. NO. I am going to work. Please give me some space. You took Tooo LONG.

Peter VronskySunday, March 9, 2014 at 9:05pm EDT

If I lived in Siem Reap, I would have said you can come over and stay with us. Best I can do from here is give you Dave's lawyers number. I back here in bumfuck Canada under a foot of snow in -12C cold. You got the number... best I can do. For you. For Dave.

Tori Green Sunday, March 9, 2014 at 9:06pm EDT

Go and find Dave. Buy a ticket and get here. Show the khmers his family cares, make them come. Because right now they are the ones looking greedy, especially if they are top of the will and Dave didn't like them.

Peter Vronsky Sunday, March 9, 2014 at 9:08pm EDT

I know. Dave was super pissed with them and the cousin took a chunk of his Moms estate. But they take this as an insult to the family and are going after finding Dave like wild dogs. Its family pride. But I don't give a shit [why they do it]. As long as they are fighting to find Dave -- and as long as there still is no hard evidence Dave is dead - they are the best thing Dave has.

Tori Green Sunday, March 9, 2014 at 9:09pm EDT

Then they should be here. 

Peter Vronsky Sunday, March 9, 2014 at 9:09pm EDT

They and I would be tits on a bull over there. Fuck it would take us just a week to get over all the tummy aches.

Tori GreenSunday, March 9, 2014 at 9:10pm EDT

Then let us do what we are doing and stop slowing things down and fucking things up and putting the shits up people.

Deadmonton

Tori Green was erratic and paranoid but she was right about one thing:  the Cambodians were surprised that nobody from Dave's family had turned up in Cambodia. Dave was missing and in Cambodian perception the family did not appear to care enough to come to Cambodia.  Tori would not be the last person to point this out.  When I looked through the archive of news reports on people missing or found dead in Cambodia, indeed, in almost every case the family arrived on the scene within days and Cambodian police took notice of family presence and concern at the scene.  That nobody from Dave's family took the trouble to come to Cambodia and oversee the police efforts personally on the ground in the way the families of other missing loved one have done, was a signal to the Cambodian authorities that they need not trouble themselves too much over Dave's disappearance.

The truth of the matter was that Dave had not been close to his cousins in "Deadmonton" as he called Edmonton.  They were his "relatives" by blood but were not really his family. His friends and Praiwan were Dave's family, but in Cambodian eyes that was not the same. The illness and death of his mother had brought Dave back to Edmonton for brief visits in recent years, but otherwise he rarely visited. Recently, after his mother's death Dave had complained to many of his friends that Tammy Madon had taken a large share of his inheritance by virtue of some familial lineage to his mother (a deceased brother if I am not mistaken.)  Dave was bitter about it, as he felt this inheritance was the only thing he had coming.  Tammy took half, he said, leaving him only $100,000.  He described it as greed and obviously he told Tori the same thing.  

UPDATE:  In a May 24, 2015 e-mail, Tammy Madon stated in response to this passage:  "The inheritance from OUR Grandmother went to Dave alone funnelled through his Mom, which was due to my father being ill and unable to make financial decisions....  None of the inheritance went to me. I have all the lawyers records to prove it. As for your statements regarding how Dave rarely visited family in Edmonton, well once again you are wrong.  Dave visited me many, many times, and always stayed with me."

I  told Tori, that I believed Tammy saw Dave's disappearance as an affront to the family name, and that this was primarily motivating her, not any sense of warmth or love for Dave, but just family unity.  None of this mattered, as long as Dave's cousin Tammy appeared to be doing her best to ensure that Dave's case got resolved, I did not care what her motives were. 

I summarized my conversation with Tori and described her fears, erratic demeanour in a report to the Edmonton Police and to our attorney in Cambodia, Bradley Gordon. I briefed Brad on the phone about my conversation with Tori and her fears and suggested that he give her a call and introduce himself and reassure her and get her statement directly rather than waiting for the Cambodian police to share theirs.

Subject: TORI GREEN CONVERSATION MARCH 7 RE: DAVE WALKER


<<<<< CONFIDENTIAL >>>>>>

Dear Jim, I am sharing this with you and with the two family attorneys.

Regards,

Peter Vronsky


1. CONVERSATION WITH TORI GREEN, MARCH 7, 2014
 
TORI GREEN, (http://greenbyname.com/tag/tori-green/ E-mail: greenbynamephotography@gmail.com ) a British female currently residing in Siem Reap and working as a freelance photographer spoke with me on March 7 via video Skype. We have been earlier referring to her as the “mystery woman” who had met DAVE WALKER and others two days prior to WALKER’s disappearance.

GREEN stated that she had coffee with DAVE WALKER, SALAO MAO AND somebody she believes is named ‘ANDY’ SOK SAN (aka ANDY LONG) on February 12, two days prior to WALKER’s disappearance. She described SOK SAN as a well-known figure in Siem Reap involved in the nightclub and karaoke club business with powerful connections but with powerful enemies as well. She was under the impression that both SALAO MAO and SOK SAN were Canadian Cambodians. She stated that SALAO was working for ANDY as a ‘gofer’ in his night clubs.

GREEN stated that she had worked in January with SALAO on an arts festival in Sok San Road, a prominent thoroughfare in Siem Reap and was surprised to hear that ANDY had the same name as the road. (A google search identifies a Sok San as a politician in Cambodia, but this might be another individual.)

GREEN stated that the subject of conversation was about some kind of event that was going to be staged in one of ANDY’s clubs. They scheduled an appointment to visit the club on February 14 for WALKER and GREEN.

SALAO MAO picked up GREEN on the evening of Friday February 14 and drove her to the club. GREEN was surprised that SALAO MAO came to pick her up in a vehicle, as she always encountered him on the back of a motorbike or scooter, often driven by his current girlfriend in Cambodia. (SALAO recently broke up with his Cambodian wife in Canada and has taken up with a young Cambodian woman in Cambodia.)

DAVE WALKER did not appear that evening to the scheduled meeting. GREEN stated that she was a little annoyed that WALKER would leave her alone with characters who she felt were shady and in fact came to understand that the event planned would involve “girls.” When asked by me, GREEN stated that she did not notice any unusual comment or reaction to WALKER missing the appointment on the part of SALAO MAO or ANDY. GREEN stated she was uncomfortable with SALAO MAO and ANDY without WALKER there, and extricated herself from there as soon as she could.

Shortly afterwards she was contacted by WALKER’s partner SONNY CHHOUN who seemed distraught and told her WALKER was missing.

GREEN states that since WALKER’s disappearance she has not heard from SALAO MAO, which she finds strange. He suddenly dropped off the map.

SALAO xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx said a few days ago that xxxxxxxxx has not heard from SALAO xxxxxxxx since WALKER disappeared and that xxxxxxxxxx believes he is in Phnom Penh. xxxxxxxxxxxx gave me his SKYPE id: xxxxxxxxxx

When Cambodian Immigration Police began to search for WALKER, GREEN stated that she was approached by who she thought was a senior officer in the Immigration Police who she had never met before. She described him as ‘blinged’ out in expensive jewellery and GREEN states that he told her in a menacing manner not to attempt to lead any efforts to locate WALKER in Siem Reap and that it would be a dangerous thing for her to do. GREEN states that the manner in which this was said, was not as advice, but as a threat and that she has since been afraid.

GREEN states that she made a statement to the Cambodian Immigration Police and to our volunteer private investigator NATE THAYER.

GREEN is terrified of the police, SALAO MAO and ANDY. When I suggested that she perhaps contact our attorney in Cambodia, she was reluctant, stating that she has no idea “who else” our attorney might be representing at the same time.

I gave her his phone number, just in case. GREEN stated that our attorney may get in touch with her.

I am encouraging her to write down a statement and e-mail it to me as it is sometimes difficult to understand things being said over SKYPE.

GREEN was very afraid and wary of me. That I write about serial homicide did not assure her either. GREEN stated numerous times that she is a single female and gave me the impression that she might have a child there with her.

GREEN seemed very despondent and afraid and hinted that she may either go into hiding or get out of Cambodia.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxt xxxxxxxxxxx   inquired to me about rumours of a “$20 million project that Dave may have been involved with and may have been under the animist business banner.”

From my personal knowledge of WALKER, he was always on the brink of meeting “investors” for his planned film projects, and they were inevitably Asians.

TORI GREEN stated that on one of the last occasions that she saw him, he seemed to be excited about potential Korean investors. I worked extensively in the film and television business 1975-2000 and in my opinion DAVE WALKER was a very talented writer but was not very well versed in financing motion pictures, the preparation of a written instrument soliciting investors, or the delicate art of “investor relations.” I think even money launderers would very quickly walk away from involving WALKER in any laundering scheme via his production company.


I had referred Bradley Gordon to Tammy Madon after he had contacted me on Facebook and upon his being retained by her to represent Dave's interests in Cambodia, Tammy gave Brad Gordon explicit written directions to share all investigative information with me.  We were expecting for Dave's bank account information to be released to determine if there were any clues in the bank records as to whether Dave's accounts were being breached or whether there was any unusual movements or transactions.

Hi Brad;

Thank you for taking the time to talk to me and agreeing to help out with the Dave Walker investigation.

I have copied Dave’s lawyer in Edmonton, Aisling Ryan, on this email as well as Peter Vronsky who is the spokesperson for Dave’s family during this investigation.

I understand you have already talked to Aisling, but I want to also introduce you both Peter Vronsky, whom I have also copied on this email.

Peter, as the spokesperson can have access to information as well as respond to enquiries on my behalf regarding this case.

Thank you

Tammy Madon
 

During the first week Bradley Gordon and I talked frequently but something was not sitting right.  Gordon was supposed to have been working on the release of Dave's banking records in Cambodia and I was awaiting for a copy, but every day the banking records according to Bradley Gordon were not ready. In the meantime I had some follow-up questions for Tori.  When I contacted her again, she now suddenly refused to talk with me, stating that after I had directed her to contact Bradley Gordon, he told her not to speak with me any further and that she was aware of my "critique" of her (the reports I sent to Edmonton Police and Bradley Gordon.)  Clearly either Gordon showed my report to Tori or shared it with Nate Thayer who then leaked its contents to her to drive a wedge between Tori and myself.  She became useless to me as a witness.

Peter, it is not just because of you or the family things moved forward. You are not party to certain information yourself.
And I am aware of your critique of me to the attorney, I am not to pass any further information to you.

Peter, I have asked that unless you have direct info not to contact me. Distractions from uninformed parties are unwelcome, unhelpful and time wasting.

You clearly have no idea what you are talking about and are feeling threatened by your current lack of knowledge and therefore name calling. Classic psychological projection when feeling impotent or threatened.

I have forwarded your emails to the investigator here on the ground who actually knows what he is doing and the attorney. 

 

I  contacted Bradley Gordon about this, asking him if he had been in contact with Tori.

When I spoke on the phone, Bradley Gordon  very persuasively convinced me that he had not talked with Tori Green nor was there any investigator working in the field that he was aware of. I believed him.  Why would he lie?   Now pissed off, I barked at Tori Green

You are playing sick school games. I just got off the phone with our lawyer. He has not heard from you. There is no investigator in field. Anyone who said that to you is lying and endangering you and endangering Dave. I am going to find out who the source of some of that nonsense in the Phnom Penh Post is – and if it’s you Tori – for “the dollar” you did not have in your pocket a couple of days ago... I will not be treating you as a friend.

Peter. How do you think your approach is helping anything right now?

Email this man, his name is James. xxxxxxxxx@gmail.com

And immediately desist from ever speaking to me again.

I e-mailed the address Tori had given me and that was how I first came into contact with James An.   

I had been wrong. There was a private investigator working in Siem Reap, and he was in contact with Bradley Gordon, who had lied to me, but the investigator was not working with or for Nate Thayer.  He was reporting to the Cambodian Military Police in Phnom Penh.  In the ensuing week as Thayer had sandbagged Peter Slade, the Edmonton Police and myself, Thayer would now become more obsessed with investigating and stopping the investigator James An than looking for Dave Walker.
