Marco Island Police have not named any suspects in the suspicious death of a 51-year-old island woman Sunday. They aren’t even sure if it was foul-play, a police spokesman said.
Judith Diamond, 730 Tigertail Court, was found dead in her pool Sunday evening. MIPD responded to a call to her residence around 9:12 p.m. Sunday, where they found the woman floating face down in the pool.
Capt. Thom Carr, a spokesman for the department, said an autopsy is being done to determine the cause of death.
According to police reports, three bottles of alcohol and a wine glass were found at the scene. Carr said alcohol could be a factor in the woman’s death.
There are currently no suspects and foul play is not suspected, even though the victim’s husband was arrested at the hospital.
Carr said David Diamond’s arrest was not related to his wife’s death.
According to Kristi Lester, a spokeswoman for the Collier County Sheriff’s Department, Diamond, 58, was arrested after law enforcement officials found he was in violation of a protection order that barred him from being near his wife. Diamond was at the couple’s home subsequent to his wife’s death, according to the report.

Lester said the no-contact order had been put in place March 15, one day after Diamond was charged with domestic-related battery, a first degree misdemeanor.
On Tuesday morning, Diamond was still in jail and a bond hearing had not yet been set, Lester said.
Carr said the death is still under investigation.

Is that the best you can do, oh that's right you and your cohorts did not do much in the way of police work, let's see, Godfrey is a quitter and Fagan hangs out with known felons so now they whine about the police, figures.

ok - since the placement of the asbestos is still a mystery to our police dept - dont think there is any chance they will get to the bottom of this.
this is more of a job for our sherrifs dept. our police chief is too busy applying for other jobs, any job, anywhere, anytime - he is a very busy man.
also, there is one thing mr davies is not and that is a quitter. obviously the way our police dept is ran is not what he was looking for. and from what i can tell mike fagan was fired for political reasons - he did not like a certain cover up that was going on and the city did not like that he was trying to expose it. so out he went. cover ups that happen in Marco Island - stay in Marco Island. Bad mr fagan for trying to break the golden rule.

is that the best you can do, did not realize you were there for any court hearings on "bad mr fagan", but i bet you can pull the records on each and find the truth out, if of course that is what you are after, somehow i would doubt it

Why do people respond to an article about a poor woman's death with a bunch of nonsense???
From what I am hearing, this woman allegedly suffered from severe abuse, and spent some time in a shelter for abused women.
I'm sure the investigators will enlist the help they may need.

Forensic specialists say 'Compulsive Track Covering", or 'denial', betrays chicanery.
Officer Fagan exposes 'compulsive track covering', and like that, he's gone. Thugs try to silence those against whom they perpetrate. Why? They need our coerced, silent, acquiescence, so as to prevail.
Those who will be silenced, fail. Those who fight, prevail - always. An old friend fought, stopped a thug, saved his family, and again won everyone's respect. Read about it at www.etherzone.com/2007/zecc041807.shtml
Those who vainly deny Truth behave as rancid, putrid, mendacious dumbells - even if they posess law degrees. Those who, in guilty manner, attempt to coerce us to silence, fail - always. They may, for a time, prevail. Inexorably, they topple, and shrivel, as worm-ridden, dessicated, dog droppings on a sun-baked, hi-desert rock.
Which brings us to our sunny point. For the second time, Mark V. Silverio, Esq., e-mailed - talk about hinky! - demands I cease publishing 'defamatory statements' about his 'client', George A. Wilson. You've long and patiently read of it. I'll not linger.
For a second time, he omits a crucial word. It generaly preceeds 'defamatory'. Its antonym is 'true'. It's a solid defense to defamation suits brought for ulterior motives, including bullying the undersigned to silence, evading legal consequences, and misusing Courts to keep ill gotten gain.
I've long regularly forwarded evidence to interested parties and agencies. The wheel of the mill grinds slowly, yet, always, it grinds fine.
Is something else lurking about? Thursday, 19 July, 2007, Honorable Judge Franklin G. Baker, in Collier Court, may dismiss the case of the Restraining Order gained by Wilson, Silverio, and "Perjury Pat" Stoye against the undersigned. The 'false, malicious' Order expired over a year ago. Many were relieved, stating, if anyone's life is in jeopardy, it's that of my wife, Father, and that of the undersigned.
Silverio now claims Wilson for a client. When these two swanned into Court, 06 January, 2005, Silverio claimed he represented Vincent Zecchino, M.D. What do changing stories tell us?
Ironically, the date coincided with the death of Dad's sister, Dorothy Zecchino Lavelle. Her progeny instigated this 'evil', decades ago, and have drained family wealth via Dad, as well as lives.
People are dead before their time. Marco Island Police admit they've no death report. Forensic specialists note the Disproportionate Outrage of the Criminal - whining about truth lawfully expressed, as people lie murdered, for reasons so banal as ill gotten gain.
Is that what crininologists mean when they speak of the 'Banality of Evil'?

My husband, Paul V. Zecchino, has been summoned to Collier Court, 19 July, 2007, before Judge Franklin G. Baker. A Restraining Order, obtained December, '04, expired a year ago, yet the 'case' isn't dismissed. This is 'highly irregular'.
This bad business is a sword of Damocles over the heads of our family. We've never experienced anything like it. Damages are 'substantial'.
Many issues surrounding Dr. Vincent Zecchino are 'irregular and destructive'. His mental status has been in question since the late 70's, when he was hospitalized outside Boston. Many cite the elephant in the living room, with a jungle of predators, including Dorothy Lavelle Adams, Helen Lavelle O'Keefe, Linda Zecchino, and Girard R. Visconti, surrounding the home. They probe and discredit those within, to keep them from thriving.
Allow me to give an example. In 1988, Dr. Zecchino asked to see my Blue Cross Card. Somehow, he copied my numbers, and charged drugs to it. Unbeknownst to me, he did so for several months. I learned of it when my employer called me in. Blue Cross contacted my employer about the inordinate amount of Narcotics, including Controlled Substances, Dr. Zecchino charged to my card. My employer and Blue Cross investigated. They quickly determined I'd been duped, and was innocent. They also learned, calling Dr. Zecchino to account could prove 'dangerous'.
So here we stand, yet again falsely accused, now 'threatened' by lawyers who claim to represent 'Vincent The Chin', as many have long called him. Would you trust the veracity of one who commits identity theft to buy Narcotics and Controlled Substances? Was this done purely to obtain drugs, fed to Julia Zecchino in toxic amounts? Was this also done to portray me as a drug abuser, ruin my professional credibility, and manipulate my false arrest? Examiners, noting the smooth manner of execution, suggest others may have been victimized. What other 'false, defamatory, circumstances' were crafted around me? Will they falsely imprison husband on July 19th? That leaves me vulnerable to Vincent Zecchino's promise, I'm to be 'gruesomely murdered for revenge'. Will these lawyers, who can't keep clients straight, maliciously sue us on behalf of Vincent's 70-ish "emotional problem child who ducked every psychiatrist the Zecchinos sent her to, following attempts to 'poison his infant son'"? Collier Sheriffs, among others, find this 'vicious charade', outrageous, and wonder why they keep at it. I cannot for the life of me begin to comprehend the malice Dorothy Adams and her claque harbor. Nor can family or longstanding friends.
Why do lawyers persist in this 'vicious charade' for 'frank, ulterior motives'? How are they able to misuse Collier Courts? These concerns have drawn the interest of those with whom I've been privileged to work with during my career.

PS - I observed Mssrs. Silverio and Wilson in Court, January 6th, 2005. Among other observations to which I can expertly certify, when Pat Stoye yanked Vincent Zecchino, M.D., by his - as falsely claimed - 'sprained' wrist, Dad reeled backward and almost fell over.
Silverio and Wilson followed behind. To my consternation and that of others, rather than extend their arms to break Dad's fall, they stepped back, as if to permit it.
The irony is disturbing. These individuals used blatantly false evidence to harm to my husband and our family, as those long known to be problematic, profited. They publicly claim to act for my father-in-law's benefit. Yet, when no one is watching, they seem to act against it.
Interestingly, credible law enforcement shares this view. They say that those who divert estates, often harm the elderly, and evade consequences by blaming their criminal conduct on rightful family members.
More ironically, Wilson's papers seem to say my husband, stepson, and I are deceased. They also deny us any say in Dad's health issues, and block all access to him.
He hands license to Dorothy Lavelle Adams, long known for gaining control of elderly family members so as to squander their assets. She has a reported history of placing the elderly in harm's way. By example, when Vincent's father, Michael, was having a heart attack, she didn't take him to nearby New York hospitals. She reportedly placed him on a plane bound for Rhode Island, for Vincent's attention, despite the fact that Vincent was an Orthopaedic Surgeon, and not a Cardiologist.
Her grandfather, Vincent's father, may well have died in flight. In fact, he suffered another heart attack on the plane, and spent months recuperating at Vincent's home.
Wilson's paperwork troubles those in review. It seemingly violates our next of kin rights, for the apparent benefit of those with a long history of chicanery, and no legitimate business with our family.
My husband, Paul Vincent Zecchino, is Vincent's only son, heir, and sole survivor. In light of what's been taken from him, some say it makes sense -from a covetous perspective - to imprison my husband and 'shiv' him. Was this the motive for Silverio, Wilson, and Stoye's reported threat to 'imprison Paul Zecchino thirty years without inconvenience of Court scrutiny"? In light of what's at stake, many say it's certainly plausible.
Mssrs. Wilson and Silverio violate our home with e-mailed threats to sue. Do they realize, as recently as today, 'severe, lasting damages' were updated and reviewed with those who will certify to them?
Have these men never heard the old adage about the last penny on the table, and covetous dolts who foolishly reach for it?
Their greed will be their downfall.
