Delphiniums in Fuhrman’s Mothers poem photo would mean little if O.J. didn’t have them all over his front yard where he hit golf balls on the night of the Bundy murders and around the corner from the south path where Fuhrman found the second bloody glove. They mean quite a bit in their movie connections because: · Their physical proximity to the lower portion of Nicole’s bare right leg and left foot jammed under the fence at the foot of her stairs was also less than five feet from the killer’s heel print near her head. · The “dead woman’s shoes” were never accounted for and a heel imprint of the killer’s missing shoes were identified as the same brand that Nicole customarily bought for herself (Bruno Magli Lorenzos were distinguished from the Lyons by their higher heel) Martha Moxley’s body was found with her shoes on. Yet, in Fuhrman’s Murder in Greenwich movie he manages to combine her bare feet with Anne Skakel’s golf bag and Michael swinging a club from that bag – his dead mother’s golf bag where the club that killed Martha came from. You even get a vicious fight between Michael and his brother Tommy that draws blood. You get only glimpses of Martha’s feet, the yellow and brown golf bag and a long row of purple flowers that look like delphiniums. But what more do you need to connect that scene to the Mothers poem photo in Murder in Brentwood? Fuhrman brings these visual elements together in his big scene where he “solves” the crime with a brilliant flash of insight. He knows what happed with Michael seeing Tommy and Martha kiss and Michael building up to a murderous rage. Fuhrman sees the delphiniums behind Michael. He “hears” Tommy telling Michael, “She likes me best, little brother.” Fuhrman looks into Michael’s jealous soul and knows what he felt: “Martha had abandoned him.” Furman “sees” Michael spotting his mother’s golf bag next to the staircase, grabbing an iron as a weapon of convenience, chasing Martha down with it raised over his head and bashing in her skull.
No evidence exists that any of these things happened. There was no evidence of a love triangle between Tommy, Martha and Michael. There is no evidence that Martha was in the Skakel house or that Michael saw her and Tommy kissing. There is no evidence that Michael took the club used to kill Martha or that it was in a place that was “convenient” for him to take. The bag was not next to the staircase. Club from the set were tucked in various places all over the house. One matching club from the set was found in a storage bin. There is far more evidence that Martha’s killer was the new Skakel tutor Ken Littleton, a thief. And what did delphiniums and the murder victim’s bare feet have to do with anything in the Moxley case? Nothing. They have much to do with a private detective named Michael and an amnesia victim (hit in the head by a mugger) he calls Grace in the 1991 movie Dead Again. In a previous life the spirit of the murder victim in Grace’s body was Margaret. Maggie (Margaret) Grace plays Martha Moxley in Murder in Greenwich. Fuhrman’s Murder in Greenwich book has something in common with Dead Again as well as the next two movies we’ll be looking at here – Shakespeare. Andrea Shakespeare is the real name of a key witness in Fuhrman’s movie scenario of events leading to Martha’s murder who is not represented in that scenario. Dead Again, Cocaine and Blue Eyes and "Dead Woman’s Shoes all feature actors with starring roles in film versions of Shakespearian plays.
Ace newspaper reporter Gray Baker writes a series of stories that make it look like Roman murder Margaret in a jealous rage over a diamond anklet. Baker sees himself as the third side of a deadly love triangle. He is sure that Roman did it because the ankle bracelet that Roman gave her is missing. Baker experienced Roman’s angry reaction to seeing him holding Margaret’s foot “to admire” the anklet. Baker first saw Margaret with the anklet when she was descending a flight of stairs. His reporting is instrumental in Roman’s execution It grew out of meeting Margaret on her wedding day. Unfortunately for everyone involved, it was love at first sight Roman had nothing to do with Margaret’s murder or the missing anklet. He was downstairs from where the murder occurred, working out a musical score on his piano for an opera. Frankie crept into their bedroom while she was sleeping. Her bare foot with the anklet was sticking out of the covers. She was lying on her side. She awoke with Frankie standing over her. He began stabbing her repeatedly with the scissors in a rage, telling her, “This is for my mother.” Forty years later with Roman and Margaret’s spirits reborn into “Grace” and Michael’s bodies, Frankie’s mother tells Michael what happened and gives him the anklet that her son stole as proof of Roman’s innocence. The grown up Frankie, who calls himself Franklin, sees and hears everything. His mother had abandoned him. When Michael leaves, Franklin does to his mother what Othello did to his wife. He smothers her to death with a pillow. I won’t get into this Dead Again Teddy Bear connect to a pillow and the murder victim in Murder in Greenwich but it does involve the Mother’s poem photo with the delphiniums in a roundabout way. It’s enough to say that the pillow belonged to one of Anne and Rushton Skakel’s youngest children We are going to examining other delphinium movies links between Fuhrman’s Mothers poem photo, Nicole’s bare feet and things Fuhrman added to his his story in his Murder in Greenwich movie that weren’t in the real case. First we need to review a list of pertinent facts. 1. Mark Fuhrman first claimed that he denied using the n-word because of temporary amnesia 2. Mark Fuhrman’s initials MF also stand for a compound incest epithet that begins with “mother” 3. The Mothers poem begins with Mothers 4. The name Adam was signed on the Mother’s poem in Mark Fuhrman’ first book 5. Fuhrman suggested to Laura Hart that he would do violence to someone who called him a “MF” 6. His mother’s name is Billie 7. Nicole was Catholic 8. Fuhrman hints in A Simple Act of Murder: November 22, 1963 that he attended a Catholic school 9. Elizabeth Montgomery’s TV series Bewitched was first scheduled to air on November 22, 1963 10. He made a pejorative point of the Skakel’s Catholicism in his Murder in Greenwich book and movie 11. He described his confidentially responsibilities in Murder in Brentwood like those of a Catholic priest 12. Fuhrman invents Murder in Greenwich movie characters called Southerlyn, Lancaster and Jackson 13. He suggested that Nicole was committing suicide by refusing to file charges against O.J. 14. Nicole’s body was perfectly positioned on her side to be seen through her open gate 15. Her bare right leg and both feet were photographed separately because the fence blocked their view 16. To enter O.J.’s estate without a warrant Fuhrman suggested that the maid might be in danger 17. Fuhrman interviewed the maid on Rockingham next door to O.J.’s house 18. She mistakenly referred to him as “Mike” in O.J.'s criminal trial, recalling it as the name he gave her 19. The killer’s presumed shoes and shoes that Nicole customarily bought for herself were the same brand 20. Neither the killer’s shoes nor the last shoes Nicole wore were ever accounted for 21. Fuhrman made a Murder in Brentwood note of the heel print between Ron’s boot and Nicole head. 22. A long finger of blood running counter to the gravity slope on the walkway points to the heel print 23. Fuhrman greatly exaggerated how cold it was when Martha Moxley was killed. He said “freezing” 24. Fuhrman’s first three book titles began with “Murder in,” the last of which featured a serial killer 25. Fuhrman wrote in Murder in Brentwood that he saw the movie Ghost in O.J.’s VCR when he searched O.J.'s house. He uses the ghost of Martha Moxley in his Murder in Greenwich movie, which was made for release on commercial television and videocassette. Unnamed LAPD detectives watched the pilot episode of a TV series O.J. was filming called Frogmen from a tape they put in O.J.'s VCR. 26. A key witness in the Moxley case that Fuhrman left out of his move was Andrea Shakespeare. 27. The name of the elusive Police Chief Fuhrman finally get to meet in Murder in Greenwich is Ferris 28. O.J. played a boxer named Joe in Goldie and the Boxer 29. Fuhrman discovered a package in O.J.’s Bronco addressed, "Orenthal Productions: Attention Cathy" 30. In ’84 he bought a house across the street from one linked to O.J., porn, cocaine and illegal college sports betting 31. Fuhrman appeared in a video next to a sign on O.J.’s gate that said “Say It Ain’t So, Joe,” an allusion to baseball outfielder Shoeless Joe Jackson’s involvement with gamblers in the 1919 Word Series. O.J. appeared in The Naked Gun 2 1/2 ('91) with California Angels outfielder Reggie Jackson wearing one glove as a mind-controlled assassin of Queen Elizabeth II 32 A dime features the profile of President Franklin D. Roosevelt. In Murder in Brentwood Mark Fuhrman drew a diagram where a dime and a penny were photographed next to a blood drop and two garbage cans Don’t let this complex profusion of names and relationships throw you. What counts is the simple way they bond to each other (fighting Mike to fighting Mike/ detective Mike to detective Mike/ elusive Ferris to elusive Ferris/ boxer Joe to boxer Joe). They link up in the same few ways with the same range of minor variations like Franklin to Frankie or Franco, inversions like MF to FM or male to female and size changes like a small item becoming a big one repeating endlessly. The hard part can be in finding the key characteristic (fighting, detective, elusive, boxer) that bind the names because sometimes the “glue” is in a news story, a book, a sporting event or a scene from a related movie. When in doubt here, follow the links Now we’re ready for O.J. Simpson as private detective Mike Brennen and Irena Ferris as Dani in Orenthal Productions’ Cocaine and Blue Eyes. O.J.’s personal secretary Cathy Randa is the assistant to the executive producer O.J. Simpson. This made-for-television movie aired in 1983. It begins at night on Christmas Eve in San Francisco with thunder, lighting and a drenching rain. Michael Brennen is a divorced father of two young children, a boy and a girl. He drops by his ex-wife’s house dressed in a Santa Clause suit (distinctive boots, cap and gloves) carrying a bag of goodies for his kids and their friends. When he steps out of his car, his ex’s dog Franco attacks him. He runs, jumps over a white picket fence with Franco in hot pursuit and climbs a tree in the front yard. His wife comes out, calls off the dog, invites him in and tells him not to drip on the rug as he shakes the water from his left glove. Inside the house you see a bunch of kids, a fireplace, a rug and Christmas stockings. On Brennen’s way home he meets an obnoxious bigot in a knit cap, blue jeans and cowboy boots named Joey Crawford. Joey sends Brennen a one thousand dollar bill in the mail as a retainer to find his girlfriend Dani (Irena Ferris). By the time Brennen gets it along with a message from Joey explaining it and a message from his bookie telling him that his $50 bet on the Rose Bowl game is covered, Joey is dead. He was murdered at the stroke of midnight on New Years Day by Dani’s first cousin and lover. Brennen’s involvement in the case takes him to the address of Dani’s rich, bigoted sister Catherine. Earlier in the movie Brennen comments that Grover Cleveland's picture on the $1,000 bill. Catherine makes a sidewinder crack about Brennen’s name and black people with names of Presidents on U.S. currency. She says, “I don’t recall any Presidents named Brennen. This, of course, is a personal joke about Simpson the actor playing Brennen. It’s the middle name of Ulysses S. Grant, the President on the $50 bill. Brennen learns
through Catherine’s maid who doesn’t look or act
like one, that Dani sang in a telethon. He
The next time Mike Brennen goes to Catherine’s house the maid, in high-healed boots is taking out the garbage. She tells him that Dani was at the house the first time he was there avoiding him because she thought he was a cop. When he finally tracks her down, he first finds a high-healed shoe, then her body lying dead on her side carefully arranged to show though a clear block of ice. He puts one of the dead woman’s shoes next to her head.
He goes back to Catherine’s house were the maid is dressed like a maid (for “company”) and the family is gathered. He tells how he solved the murders and names Joey’s killer’s wife Lillian (another first cousin) as Dani’s killer. It was a crime of passion. She wanted her husband to find Dani’s body where Brennen found it in the ice house. The delphiniums are on one stalk in a bowl on the piano full of carnations. The background creates the illusion of more delphiniums than there are. Irena Ferris is Nikki in Nikki and Alexander (’89) and Billie in "Cover Up" (’84). Maureen Anderman's character who kills Dani in a fit of jealousy is Lady Macbeth in a 1982 TV production of Shakespeare’s Macbeth. Nikki is a nickname for Nicole. Maureen O’Hara is the mother of Mia Farrow (MF), who plays the mother of Satan’s son in Rosemary’s Baby where a stolen leather glove is used to commit murder. The Mothers poem photo in Fuhrman’s book shows the poem and the flowers only a few feet away from the leather glove in Mark Fuhrman’s pointing finger photo.

In that play Hamlet seeks to get his incestuous mother and uncle to reveal themselves as murderers by putting on a play for them that reenacts the way his father’s ghost told him they killed him. His mother slips up by saying of the woman representing her in the play who protests her innocence inappropriately, “The lady doth protest, too much, me thinks.” In Murder in Brentwood Fuhrman questions why Christopher Darden complained the way he did about confidential trial practice secession being leaked to the media. He wrote, “Was he simply protesting too much?” Darden wasn’t “protesting.” He was threatening an Internal Affairs investigation. Fuhrman accused Darden of being responsible for the leaks. A Killing
Affair draws together Murder in
You get Elizabeth on Martha’s tombstone in the introduction to Murder in Greenwich and near the end where Fuhrman’s character lays flowers at the foot of the tombstone. You get Montgomery in “Dead Woman’s Shoes.” In A Killing Affair Roselyn Cash is O.J.’s wife. She is uniformed cop Stacy Keach’s lover in The New Centurions, a screenplay adaptation of Joseph Wambaugh’s book. Irena Ferris from Cocaine and Blue Eyes is a nameless beauty in a 1984 episode of Mike Hammer with Stacy Keach as private detective Mike Hammer. Shakespearian actor Kenneth Branaugh is private detective Mike Church in Dead Again. O.J. is Mike Brennen in Cocaine and Blue Eyes. You see delphiniums and a staircase in all four movies and a blonde female’s bare feet in three of them. In A Killing Affair O.J. is Woodrow York. In CIA Code Name: Alexa, he's Nick. In the television series Bewitched, Elizabeth Montgomery is a witch. Maid to Order (’87) would not seem to have a place in this string of movies with delphinium links because there are no delphiniums in the movie. Just remember that Ally Sheedy’s middle name is Elizabeth and the two names on the bottom of the Mothers poem in front of the delphiniums are Adam and Alli... In Maid to Order Ally Sheedy is spoiled rich girl Jessica Montgomery with a chauffer named Woodrow who lends her $50. Her fairy godmother transforms her into a maid and wipes out all evidence and all memory from everyone who knows her that she ever existed. Jessica calls her a witch. She loses her black high-healed rich girl shoes. Standing barefoot in front of a dumpster she takes out an ugly pair of shoes she can wear. Elizabeth Montgomery starred in an episode of the original Twilight Zone where she and a man as the only survivors of a global war become Adam and Eve. In Maid to Order, Ally Sheedy as Jessica Montgomery says that she feels like she is in an episode of The Twilight Zone. On her way to changing her life she and a song-writing, piano-playing chauffer named Nick fall in love. Michael Ontkean is Nick. In Twin Peaks he is Sheriff Harry S. Truman. In the end, Jessica's fairy godmother approaches her in her maid's uniform (wearing the shoes she found in the garbage) and say's, "Hi, doll. Will you come outside with me for a moment?" Jessica says, "Only if you promise not to turn me into a frog or something." She knows that she has been transformed back into a rich girl when her fairy godmother holds her hand for a little while and shows her that the shoes now on her feet the ones she had as a rich girl. The Power (68) stars George Hamilton and Michael Rennie as two men who share the awesome power to manipulate people and things with their minds. Hamilton’s character Jim (O.J.'s middle name) doesn’t know he has this power. Rennie’s character Adam Hart does. In the Murder in Brentwood photo of Fuhrman pointing his finger on the Bundy murder scene, Fuhrman kneels and points in an unusual and awkward way. His right leg is forward and his right arm crosses the outside of his right knee to point. This is a composite
of two screen shots from The Power. Suzanne

You have to see the whole movie to know how all of these elements merge with each other and with the “Twenty Two” episode of the original Twilight Zone. Barbara Nichols has a small part in The Power as a woman from Adam Hart's youth. She stars as Elizabeth in "Twenty Two", which begins with a sequence that includes the sound of a dead woman’s shoes and ends in a morgue. The 1978 remake of Invasion of the Body Snatchers with Donald Southerland, Veronica Cartwright and Brooke Adams as Elizabeth shows a close-up of purple delphiniums in the beginning sequence with a background shot of the San Francisco Bridge. The movie pays homage to the “Twenty Two” morgue sequence with the same elements in the same order. Only the "morgue" in this movie is a garbage truck You know exactly where the sequence came from because all of the key elements, including a shivering woman named Elizabeth walking in bare feet, are present and arranged in a way that could have come from nowhere else. The same is true with the pointing finger photo, the photo of Nicole’s bare feet and the Mothers poem photo with the delphiniums in Murder in Brentwood. That particular combination of elements comes from The Power. You can guess where Fuhrman's story came from of a frightened Nicole leaving her house in her bare feet on her way to the morgue. Sure enough, the killer strikes again and again targeting nuns and priests each time. The killer comes to Father Koestler in a confessional and confesses what he did. As a priest, Koestler is powerless to tell anyone what happened. He is therefore forced to do his own detective work. It leads him to the killer’s house and the delphinium wallpapered upstairs bedroom of the killer’s daughter. There he finds a rosary with beads like those left with the murdered nuns and priests. The girl’s middle name is Anne.
