HOMICIDE COP STILL PROBING ENRON DEATH
By STEVE LONG and MARSHA KRANES
January 29, 2002 -- Despite a medical examiner's finding that former
Enron executive John Clifford Baxter's death Friday was a suicide, a
veteran Texas homicide detective is actively gathering evidence in
the case.
Detective Billy Baugh has been retracing Baxter's movements on the
days preceding his death, checking Baxter's car inside and out for
blood splatters, fingerprints and other evidence, and running
ballistics tests on the gun used to fire the fatal shot, a police
spokeswoman said.
Baugh, the top homicide investigator for the Sugar Land Police
Department, also has federal Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms agents
checking into the ownership of the .38-caliber revolver - in
particular, who purchased it, and when.
Guns are not registered in the state of Texas.
Baxter, 43, was found at 2:23 a.m. Friday slumped behind the wheel of his parked black
four-door Mercedes a short distance from his home in Sugar Land, 20 miles from
downtown Houston.
He had been shot once in the head - and was holding the revolver in his hand.
He had been at home in bed just hours before his body was found, a close family friend
told The Post.
"His wife couldn't believe he could get out of bed without her knowing it," said the
friend.
The local medical examiner ruled Baxter's death was caused by a "penetrating
self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head."
In keeping the probe alive, Sugar Land Police Chief Earnest Taylor stressed "we are
not in any way saying that we disagree with the medical examiner's findings. We are
simply saying we want . . . to be absolutely sure tha
t nothing is overlooked in the investigation."
Because the investigation is ongoing, police yesterday postponed plans to release a
suicide note found near Baxter's body.
In the note, Baxter, who quit as Enron vice chairman in May, said he was distraught
about the energy- trading giant's collapse and the prospect of having to testify
against former colleagues and friends, according to CNBC
.
Meanwhile, President Bush blamed Enron's debacle on the company's failure to provide
"full disclosure of finances" and blasted lawmakers "who want to politicize this
issue."
