    Local investigator hopes withheld evidence will help free death row inmate

    By Leonora LaPeter Anton
    The Tampa Bay Times

    Giant poster boards covered with mug shots, crime scene photos and yellowed newspaper articles overwhelm private investigator Lynn-Marie Carty's tiny living room in Treasure Island.

    Carty, a one-time Mrs. Florida contestant, has spent the past three years trying to figure out what happened one Christmas Eve 39 years ago when four people were murdered inside a furniture store in Central Florida. Tommy Zeigler, now 68, was convicted of killing his wife, his in-laws and a citrus crew foreman.

    Zeigler's case has always attracted skeptics: a former Orlando Sentinel newspaper editor; civil rights activist Bianca Jagger; a former chief deputy who worked on the original case and his brother. The case was the subject of a 1992 book called Fatal Flaw. None of their efforts resulted in a new trial for Zeigler.

    Zeigler's New York attorneys hope that Carty's work is different. This past week, they appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court. The motion relies heavily on Carty's assertion that Orange County sheriff's detectives and prosecutors not only withheld evidence when they tried Zeigler back in 1976, but they also lied about key details.

    Each year, the U.S. Supreme Court takes up fewer than 1 percent of the 10,000 cases submitted. But Zeigler's attorneys hope the justices will pay attention to a recent movement to end prosecutors' failure to share evidence, known as Brady violations. The problem is considered widespread enough that a federal appeals court judge in Pasadena, Calif., urged his colleagues to act. "Only judges can put a stop to it," wrote Alex Kozinski, chief judge of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.

    On this day, one of Carty's neighbors, former Pinellas County Sheriff Everett Rice, watched a recent interview of the lead detective on Zeigler's case.

    When Rice, 69, who has no connection to the Zeigler case, was done listening, he clenched his hands together and frowned.

    "If they execute Tommy Zeigler for this case," he said, "I'll have to be against the death penalty."

    • • •

    Christmas Eve 1975. Zeigler and his wife had been married for eight years and lived next door to his parents in Winter Garden, a bedroom community of 6,000 northwest of Orlando.

    The Zeiglers operated a furniture store, which Tommy's parents, Beulah and Tom, had opened in 1939. Tommy and his wife, Eunice, had no children but bred and exhibited Persian cats. They were churchgoers. They hobnobbed with the town's elite. Zeigler, then 30, was good friends with the Winter Garden police chief, Don Ficke.

    That night, Eunice's parents, who were visiting for the holidays from Moultrie, Ga., were supposed to stop by the store to pick out a recliner for Eunice's father for Christmas. After that, the Fickes were supposed to pick up the Zeiglers at their home for a party at a judge's house.

    But at 9:20 p.m., Zeigler called the party. He said he'd been shot.

    When police got to the store, Zeigler opened the front door and collapsed with a bullet wound in his stomach. Eunice, Zeigler's 32-year-old wife, was on the kitchen floor with a shot to the back of the head. Her mother, Virginia, 52, had been shot in the front of the store. Eunice's father, retired minister Perry Edwards Sr., 72, had struggled with his attacker. He'd been beaten and shot multiple times. Nearby, citrus crew foreman Charlie Mays, 35, lay on his back, bludgeoned and shot. He had $400 and some furniture store receipts in his pocket.

    Zeigler's own gunshot wound missed major organs. At the hospital, he told detectives he'd gone to the furniture store with his handyman to make some final deliveries. Once inside the dark store, he was attacked and lost his glasses. He shot at blurry figures with one of the guns he kept at the store. Someone shot him. He heard one of his attackers say: "Mays has been hit. Kill him."

    Zeigler said he blacked out. When he came to, he crawled around looking for his glasses. He may have crawled over a body; he wasn't sure.

    • • •

    Soon after the murders, Zeigler's handyman and a fruit picker contacted police independently. The handyman, Edward Williams, said Zeigler had tried to shoot him as he entered the store. The fruit picker, Felton Thomas, said Zeigler had asked him to shoot guns with Mays, the dead citrus foreman, in a grove the evening of the murders, then later tried to get both men to come to the store. Only Mays had gone inside.

    Donald Frye, the 29-year-old detective who got the case, had just gone for blood spatter training the year before. He noticed that some of the blood near Zeigler's father-in-law and the citrus foreman had dried at different times. He surmised that Zeigler killed his wife and in-laws first, then tried to lure Mays, Thomas and Williams there to kill and frame them for the murders.

    Zeigler had shot himself to make it look like he'd been robbed, Frye decided. He was convinced Zeigler planned to collect on $520,000 in life insurance policies he'd taken out on his wife months before.

    On Dec. 29, 1975, Frye came to Zeigler's hospital bed and charged him with murder. He was convicted in 1976. The jury recommended life in prison, but the judge sentenced him to the electric chair.

    • • •

    In 2011, Carty read an article about Zeigler in the Tampa Bay Times. The article mentioned efforts to seek more DNA testing of blood on Zeigler's shirt.

    Prosecutors had argued at the trial that Zeigler's shirt was covered with his father-in-law's blood. In 2001, sections of the shirt were submitted for DNA testing, which had been unavailable at the time of the trial. No trace of the father-in-law's blood was found. Only Mays' blood was detected. Zeigler's attorneys asked to test the whole shirt; that request was denied.

    Carty was outraged. Why would the prosecution thwart attempts to figure out the truth?

    A private investigator of 13 years, Carty specializes in reuniting long-lost relatives. She approaches each case with an almost fanatical obsession. She quickly compiled a list of other facts that pointed to his innocence: a key witness' story didn't add up, Zeigler passed lie detector tests and was even interviewed under the influence of truth serum.

    In 2012, she went to meet Zeigler in prison. She told him she wanted to be his private investigator. She would work for free.

    • • •

    One of the first incongruous details that Carty noticed was a name in the arrest report. It said a black man named Robert Foster had been hiding and sought protection from police because of what he'd seen at the Zeigler furniture store. Foster's name was featured in a handful of early news stories. Then, just like that, his name disappeared, and the same story was attributed to Felton Thomas, the fruit picker who claimed he'd gone with Mays and Zeigler to an orange grove to shoot guns.

    Who was Robert Foster? Carty wondered.

    Frye, the lead detective on the case, had told Zeigler's lawyers in a 1976 deposition it was a typographical error. Carty didn't believe it.

    Later, while looking through the files, she found an interview with a woman named Mary Beach, who was handyman Ed Williams' landlady. She had mentioned a tall man, over 6 feet tall, with a big belly named Robert Foster who played softball with her husband and murder victim Charlie Mays.

    Then, another break. In the spring of 2011, a woman named Susan Ambler-Graden called Carty and said a tall, black man with a gun attempted to rob her mother at the Gulf gas station she managed, diagonally across the street from the Zeigler furniture store, around 6 p.m. the night of the killings. Ambler-Graden, 10 at the time, had watched the whole thing. Her mother had reported the attempted robbery to police. But Carty could find no record of it in defense exhibits.

    Ambler-Graden told Carty that their attacker looked exactly like Michael Clarke Duncan, an actor in the 1999 film, The Green Mile. Carty wondered if the robber was Robert Foster. With a picture of Duncan taped to her computer, Carty searched the Department of Corrections web site for tall men named Robert Foster.

    She found him quickly. He had been released from prison in North Carolina six months before the murders. He had a criminal history that included armed robbery. He was working as a fruit picker in Orange County at the time of the murders.

    Carty sent Foster's mug shot to Beach, Williams' former landlady and a retired jail clerk. That was the Foster who played softball with Mays, Beach recalled. Ambler-Graden also identified him.

    Carty had Zeigler's lawyers hire retired Pinellas County sheriff's Capt. Calvin Dennie Jr., 65, to track down Foster, who is now living in Tallahassee. Foster admitted nothing except that he had been in Orange County around the time of the murders and that he was a fruit picker.

    "His answers were too short and quick," Dennie said. "Based on his body language and his expression, I thought he was lying myself."

    • • •

    In April 2012, Zeigler's lawyers drafted an appeal based on the new information. Orange County police had not only hidden the existence of Foster and the robbery at the gas station, the appeal said, but Frye had lied about it. They argued that criminal activity across the street involving someone who knew one of the murder victims raised doubts about the prosecution's version of events.

    Circuit Judge Reginald Whitehead rejected the appeal. The Florida Supreme Court also refused to hear the case, stating the new evidence did not warrant a new trial, given the other evidence against Zeigler.

    A growing number of high courts have rejected claims of prosecutorial misconduct as long as other evidence exists. Judge Kozinksi, a dissenter in an appeal based on withheld evidence involving a man from Washington who was convicted of possessing ricin for use as a weapon, argues that standard "will almost never be met."

    "The trend has led, in the words of the New York Times editorial board, to 'rampant prosecutorial misconduct,' " Zeigler's appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court noted, "and 'a serious moral hazard for prosecutors who are more interested in winning a conviction than serving justice.' "

    "It ties into a national trend to begin to question why all these cheating claims are falling on deaf ears and what this means for the justice system," said Dennis Tracey III, one of Zeigler's New York attorneys who has worked on the case for free for almost 30 years.

    Tracey said there is other evidence, including a report of another averted armed robbery across the street at a department store about a half hour before Zeigler called police to report he'd been shot. Carty has also collected evidence that points to a different suspect altogether. That information is not part of the current motion before the U.S. Supreme Court, but the attorneys would hope to introduce it at a new trial.

    • • •

    Two weeks ago, Carty, 57, and a documentary producer headed to Clermont to interview Frye, the detective. Carty did not conduct the interview but she has a copy of it. Carty said Frye became angry once he knew Zeigler's supporters were involved in the interview. He could not be reached for this story. Jeff Ashton, the state attorney for Orange and Osceola counties, did not return phone calls. But in a 2003 interview, he was asked: "Will Zeigler ever get a new trial?"

    "Not in a million years," he responded.

    Frye is adamant they have the right killer behind bars. Now 68, the same age as Zeigler, Frye said the blood evidence was one of the most telling aspects of the crime. Zeigler's father-in-law's blood spilled first and dried. Fifteen to 30 minutes later, Mays blood splattered and dried. Sometime after that, a shoulder holster that belonged to Zeigler was dropped atop the dried blood.

    "To make the crime scene look good, he went and fetched it and threw it down in the blood," Frye said. "It's a very significant factor. It really solidifies, if you will, our whole understanding of what happened that night."

    It shows, Frye said, that Zeigler lured each victim, one by one.

    "We tried to make some connection between Felton Thomas, Ed Williams and Charlie Mays," he said. "They didn't know each other. And all the handguns used in this crime were traced back to Tommy Zeigler."

    He reiterated that Robert Foster had nothing to do with the case. The attempted robbery across the street on the evening of the murders was not relevant.

    "My understanding is there was a single black male who tried it and he didn't get anything," he said, "and the Winter Garden police did a report on it."

    • • •

    When Carty saw the video of Frye acknowledging a police report existed for the nearby gas station robbery, she screamed. To her, it was another report withheld from the defense.

    The same day as Frye's interview, she travelled to Leesburg to interview Beach, 69, the handyman's landlord. Beach tied Foster to Mays, the citrus crew chief, and Williams, the handyman. She said Foster and Mays played on the same softball team. She was an umpire.

    "Williams, Foster and Mays all knew each other, you know," she said.

    "With your own eyes, you saw these people together?" Carty asked.

    "With my own eyes," she responded.

    She said she may have even seen Foster in Williams' truck the day of the murders.

    Zeigler's attorneys have always argued that Mays was part of a robbery at the furniture store and not just a customer coming to pick up a TV, as prosecutors claim. To Carty, the connections between Mays and the other men suggest a possible conspiracy.

    • • •

    Back in Carty's living room, Rice, the former sheriff, acknowledged the complexity of the case.

    "But you have a lead detective who admits that an armed robbery occurred across the street about the same time and there's a police report about it and the defense knew nothing about it, but he says it has nothing to do with the case?" Rice says. "That's a jury question. If that had been known at the time, the case might have had a different result."

    With so many victims and so much blood, Rice said, the case cries out for a fresh DNA analysis. "With what we know today," Rice said, "there's a huge amount of reasonable doubt."

    The Florida Supreme Court denied this unanimously and it has absolutely no chance of being heard by SCOTUS. The DNA tests have been denied twice by the Circuit Court and FSC. The only question is whether Governor Scott would sign a warrant.

    In today's United States Supreme Court orders, Zeigler's petition for writ of certiorari and motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis was DENIED on appeal out of the Florida Supreme Court.

    Investigation Discovery Expands Docu Push with 3 New Titles

    Coming off of a ratings bounce from its documentary premiere “OJ: Trial of a Century,” Investigation Discovery is diving deeper into longform docs with three new titles on tap: “A Question of Innocence,” “The Joe Show” and “Hate in America.”

    Each of the films is meant to “act as a catalyst to informed debate” on a controversial issue, says Henry Schleiff, group president of Investigation Discovery, Destination America, American Heroes Channel and Discovery Fit & Health.

    The cabler’s ID Films banner is designed to pursue projects that spark discussion and inspire the audience to consider their position on a range of issues.

    “We are so busy with our daily lives that sometimes these issues arise and we can have an impact,” remarked Schleiff.

    “A Question of Innocence,” which bows July 11, takes a look at the death penalty in the United States by centering on Tommy Zeigler who, now 68, has been on death row in Florida for almost four decades. While new evidence has surfaced that may prove Zeigler’s innocence, Florida Gov. Rick Scott has is campaigning to accelerate the schedule of upcoming executions. Narrated by Bruce Greenwood (“Star Trek Into Darkness”), “A Question of Innocence” does not take a position on the issue, but presents the facts to the audience, exposing the justice system to the public eye. “We want to show examples of arguments that can be made on either side,” said Schleiff.

    I doubt that this guy will be executed. He will probably just die of natural causes while incarcerated. He's already so old, and it seems like the legal tennis match between his council team and the State won't be slowing down or coming to an end in the near future.

    I'm actually watching the "A Question of Innocence" special right now. In this documentary, Zeigler doesn't make a strong case for his innocence, he's pretty much just complaining about how the legal system works the whole time.

    I watched it this morning. Like you said nothing they presented was proof positive he didn't kill his wife and in-laws. But the show did make me wonder if Charles Mays Jr. was involved.

    Zeigler changes his story constantly. For years it was Charlie Mays, then when the DNA didn't work to his benefit it changed to Foster. He is a class A liar. Now it is Foster, Mays and Williams.

    Defense seeks touch DNA to question death row inmate's guilt

    Tommy Zeigler turns 70 this month. He has lived more than half his life on Florida's death row.

    He has always said he did not kill his wife, her parents and another man at his Winter Garden furniture store on Dec. 24, 1975. But time and again, one appeal after another, the courts have not believed him.

    Now may be his best chance to prove his innocence. It may also be his last.

    Attorneys filed a motion this week seeking court approval to use a special DNA test to examine evidence presented at the trial. The technology allows experts to analyze skin cells that can be left on one person when they are touched by another. It has been used to free other inmates across the country.

    In more than 800 pages of documents and exhibits, Zeigler's lawyers retrace a story that has long raised questions in Orange County - namely, why a respected businessman with no criminal history would kill his family on Christmas Eve. "The evidence based on which he was convicted is extremely thin, and with every passing year becomes less and less reliable because of new discoveries that are made," said his New York attorney Dennis Tracey, who has worked on the case for free since 1986.

    The new motion offers fresh revelations.

    A key witness changed his story.

    Someone attempted to rob a business right across from the furniture store that very night.

    And, most important: There is a new suspect with a financial motive for the crime.

    Prosecutors in Orange County have remained adamant that Zeigler is guilty. A spokesperson for State Attorney Jeff Ashton said they had yet to look through the new filing. In past interviews though, when asked if Zeigler might get a new trial, Ashton responded: "Not in a million years."

    But the new DNA testing, if granted, could finally determine once and for all whether Zeigler is a calculating killer or a wronged man who spent almost 39 years on death row for a crime he did not commit.

    **

    Zeigler grew up in Winter Garden, a town of 6,000 just northwest of Orlando. He ran the W.T. Zeigler Furniture Store his parents opened in 1939 and also owned rental properties. He was friends with the town police chief and other local dignitaries.

    A youth football coach, he met and fell in love with an elementary school teacher named Eunice. They married at the First Baptist Church on July 25, 1967, his 21st birthday.

    The couple lived next door to his parents. They raised Persian show cats. They were trying to have a baby. Eunice documented their intimate moments on charts that ended 2 weeks before Christmas 1975.

    On Christmas Eve, the Zeiglers were supposed to drive to a municipal judge's Christmas party with Eunice's parents and their friends, town police Chief Don Ficke and his wife.

    They never made it.

    Just after 9 that evening, Zeigler called the chief at the party and said: "Don, I've been shot."

    When officers arrived at the furniture store, Zeigler opened the door and collapsed with a bullet wound in his stomach.

    Inside was a scene that shocked police and members of this small citrus farming community.

    Eunice, 32, had been shot in the back of the head. Eunice's father, Perry Edwards, 72, had been shot multiple times and beaten with a linoleum crank. Her mother's body lay behind a sofa. A local citrus foreman, Charles Mays, 35, was also shot and bludgeoned.

    **

    At the hospital, recovering from his gunshot wound, Zeigler told police his version of what happened.

    He went to the store to make some deliveries. His in-laws and Eunice were to stop by to pick out a recliner for Christmas.

    Several people attacked him and knocked off his glasses. Zeigler kept a gun and fired at the blurry figures.

    2 witnesses helped make the case against Zeigler.

    The 1st, Zeigler's handyman, came to police with one of the murder weapons. Edward Williams said he'd gone to the store to help Zeigler make some deliveries Christmas Eve. Zeigler had pointed a gun at him and pulled the trigger. The weapon misfired, Williams said, and Zeigler handed Williams the gun.

    The other, fruit picker Felton Thomas, said that he'd gone to Zeigler's store that same evening with his friend, Charles Mays. Zeigler took the 2 black men to an orange grove to shoot weapons. Later, they returned to the furniture store and Zeigler invited them inside. Thomas grew suspicious and left. Mays went inside.

    Neither man saw Zeigler kill his family, but police would speculate that they had been lured to the store by Zeigler so he could frame them for the murders.

    With 2 witnesses, the Orange County Sheriff's Department turned to forensic evidence.

    Detective Donald Frye was fresh off blood splatter training when he arrived at the scene. He looked at the patterns and surmised that the victims were killed at different times. Frye believed that Zeigler killed his wife and in-laws first, then lured Mays and Thomas to the furniture store. The trip to the orange grove with Mays and Thomas, the detective speculated, was a way for Zeigler to get their fingerprints on the gun. The gunshot wound to Zeigler's stomach was a way to make it look like he fought back.

    As for a motive: $520,000 in insurance taken out on Eunice's life just a few months earlier.

    5 days after the killing, Frye arrested Zeigler in his hospital bed.

    6 months later, a jury convicted him and recommended life in prison. A judge sentenced Zeigler to death.

    **

    Of all the evidence collected in the nearly 4 decades since his conviction, it is Zeigler's rust-colored, long-sleeved shirt and his wife's gray tweed jacket that could once and for all solve a mystery.

    Attorneys want to know if Zeigler had any of his father-in-law's DNA on the shirt. If there is none, there's no way Zeigler killed Edwards. They also want to know who touched Eunice's jacket after she was shot. The lining inside the jacket and a sock had blood on them, indicating someone took the time to button up the jacket and replace a shoe. It could have been the killer.

    A new type of DNA analysis may be the way to answer those questions.

    This type of examination, which amplifies and analyzes skin cells left behind, only became available in the United States a few years ago.

    The tests were used to exonerate a former state trooper accused of killing his wife and two young children in Indiana. They helped free a Colorado man who was accused at age 15 of stabbing a woman in a field near his home. Both men spent decades in prison.

    "With modern testing techniques, this touch DNA often can be detected, revealing the identity of the person who deposited the blood on the clothing in addition to the identity of the source of the blood," said forensic scientist Richard Eikelenboom, who specializes in touch DNA and formerly worked in the crime-solving laboratory of the Netherlands Forensic Institute.

    At Zeigler's 1976 trial, former State Attorney Robert Eagan demonstrated for the jury how he believed Zeigler grabbed his father-in-law in a headlock and bashed him in the head with the a heavy metal handle used to role out linoleum, depositing his Type A blood on the underarm of Zeigler's shirt.

    A 2001 DNA test showed that blood stains in the underarm of Zeigler's shirt actually belonged to Mays - not his father-in-law as prosecutors argued during the trial. Zeigler's attorneys say this backs their client's version of events.

    The 2001 tests were not enough to set aside Zeigler's conviction. Prosecutors argued the sample was too small and may have deteriorated and that it was possible that Edwards' blood had landed on other spots on Zeigler's shirt.

    Zeigler's attorneys asked to test the whole shirt so they could prove his father-in-law's blood was not on the shirt. That request was denied.

    "Further testing on my shirts will show demonstrably that there is no blood of Perry Edwards on my clothes," Zeigler wrote in an affidavit to the court that is part of the motion, "as there would be if I had beaten and killed Perry Edwards."

    **

    If the latest DNA tests don't help Zeigler get a new hearing, the findings of private investigator Lynn-Marie Carty might.

    Carty, 58, a former Mrs. Florida contestant who specializes in reuniting long-lost families, has spent the past 4 years trying to prove Zeigler did not kill his family. She has drawn former Pinellas County Sheriff Everett Rice, a neighbor, into studying the evidence and now Rice, too, believes Zeigler is innocent. She has traveled all over the state and to Georgia interviewing witnesses and digging through court records.

    In September 2013, Carty finally got Thomas, the fruit picker and one of the two key witnesses against Zeigler, to meet her. At his request, they sat in the lobby of the Fort Pierce Police Department because he said he was afraid. The interview, which lasted one hour and 41 minutes, was recorded. Thomas said he had never met Zeigler before the day of the murders.

    He said Mays told him they were going to "Zeigler's" that day. Once there, they met a white man who asked them to go shoot guns in an orange grove. But he's not sure who that man was.

    After the murders, he said police told him Zeigler had murdered Mays and the others. They did not ask him to identify Zeigler as the white man he'd met. They did not produce a police lineup with Zeigler's picture in it.

    "I still don't know who it was," he told Carty.

    Zeigler's attorneys and Carty now theorize that the real killer may have been Perry Edwards Jr., Eunice's brother. He bore a resemblance to Zeigler at the time, Carty said. According to a divorce complaint his wife once filed, he beat her and other family members and threatened to kill her.

    There is no proof that Edwards Jr. was involved in the murders, but Carty said she talked to relatives of his who said he traveled to Florida on Christmas Eve in 1975.

    He may also have had motive, Zeigler's lawyer argues in the new filing.

    Edwards Jr. inherited "substantial assets," including property in Levy County, from his parents, the motion states.

    Edwards Jr. died in 2013. His wife could not be reached for comment.

    Zeigler's lawyers say it is clear police were not willing to consider other subjects once they zeroed in on Zeigler.

    "If you really compare Tommy Zeigler and Perry Edwards Jr. in terms of their motivation to kill the victims, Perry Edwards had much more motivation," said Tracey, Zeigler's attorney. "He stood to gain millions from the estate of his parents, whereas Tommy Zeigler had a small life insurance policy, he had connections to Winter Garden, he was a model citizen. ... It makes no sense."
