HE CANNOT REST IN PEACE

Samuel Wolkoff- June 6th forever etched in my soul. My father was gruesomely murdered on this day many years ago, at the age of 42. I was 10 years old. 

Certain facts in this blog post and also in the book "Blood Relation" have been deliberately edited to protect myself and others. To learn more information from the book, YOU CAN CLICK ON THIS LINK, and also CLICK ON THIS LINK.

Cause of death, 5 hours of tortured Murder By Strangulation. Hold your breath for as long as you can, then wait 40 more seconds, exhale, that will give you a tiny sense of the horrific way my father felt for 5  consecutive hours, a rope tied as a noose, was alternately tightened, then loosened around his neck, while his hands were tied behind his back. Death, when it finally came, must have been a merciful release for him.

The autopsy showed that my father struggled so bravely to live, that his eyeballs eventually burst, and he finally stopped breathing. His body then deposited at a desolate gas station, in the middle of the night, thrown out onto the ground, as a piece of garbage. Hold that entire scene in your mind forever, it is I can assure gruesome, and haunting in its profoundly graphic endless replay, over and over in my mind.


Oh, as an aside, his sister learned about his murder on the radio news, she immediately dropped dead of a heart attack in front of her four children.

Justice not served, justice not given, nothing complicated, nothing new, an innocent, good person, a human life has always been cheap. I did the best I could to obtain that justice. My father's error that cost him his life? He  believed in trust, in the sense of obligation to very close members of his family, by giving them a chance to change their ways. The good deed he did, paid back by these very same, who had him murdered. Horrifically ugly, but brutally true, and they all got away with it, didn't bother any of them, never mattered to them.

The family never talked about it for 40 plus years, not even to speak my father's name, it is the taboo secret code followed by many families of victims, as if somehow, the unbearable pain would get less. I have spent most of my life investigating his case and eventually shared it with our family. Never have figured out if I did good or bad by reopening the wounds, but I do know, those are permanent gaping, seeping, toxic, painful holes, they never really were ever closed.

I have been doing more thinking than usual lately, not necessarily a good thing for me, as I yearn to be one of those who are able to practice the art of ignorance is bliss.

How can a loved one who dies suffering, rest in peace, ever? Seems like a simple thing to believe, say, and its even reduced to a short acronym, R.I.P., easy to write. I can't write it, not possible, not after all the never ending suffering of my father, and us.

For an ultra private person like me, a blog is obscenely public, personal, grossly revealing, definitely not my style, but  interestingly, momentarily cleansing, a way of coming out, being up front with unbearable realities, my reality. Mostly
I do it for those that can no longer speak for themselves, who experienced unimaginable suffering that ended their lives. In this moment, my father's reality.

I have absolutely no idea, not the slightest clue why over 3,200 people as of this date have viewed my blog. I am sometimes intrigued as to why and what would anyone want to obtain from my words that could bring them here. I see search terms on my blog from people who arrived looking for information about my father, a lot of other interesting search words.

Some of you are the cowardly, but powerfully connected scum bags who murdered my father, as well as those of you in arrogant, incompetent, corrupt law enforcement, whose agencies knowingly covered their asses, and in doing so, betrayed your sworn oaths to defend justice, by participating in covering up the truth, obstructing justice in this capital offense, which has no statute of limitations.

We all know each other, or about each other, you know I have hidden away safely the written confidential secret official documents with my honest law enforcement and political friends, the written proof of all the detailed real facts. Nothing to be concerned about, it will remain buried. We all know the deal that protects all of us, the reasons that nothing else has been done by any of us about my father's murder, the reason these documents will remain hidden, is the unspoken but very clear mutual understanding we all have forever, of don't ever again fuck with any of us, and in return, we won't fuck with any of you by making the real truth public.

The March continues, May/June are the busiest  months for me, I dread this time of the year, horrifically gruesome memories of human, innocent lives wasted. The rest of the year, the ever present Demons make sure we remember those, whose memories others have tried to erase, these are my family, they  were human beings who will never be forgotten, they lived and never deserved to die in such horribly suffering ways. 

Today we remember my courageous father. He is not resting in peace, that is certain.

Why? Why Him???

  1. It will be very difficult to write a fitting comment and to find the right words as I suppose there are not any and you have said them all. I would like to say that I'm sure your Dad would be proud to know the sensitive, caring person behind all those words even in the face of all the evil that still exists and to have to keep facing all the injustice that continues daily in this world.It is in some way a wonderful tribute to your father.

  3. I read the book about harold konigsberg ,by his great nephew, that is how I landed on your blog. Why...I couldn't tell you except I read anything and everything. It is heart rendering to actually talk to a real victim. I couldn't be more sorry for your suffering. I know this sounds trite, I don't mean it to be. People like konigsberg miss, really miss what life is about .....to simply learn to love and be loved. Konigsberg totoally missed this life lesson. As a result I know with no doubt he suffered here and continues to suffer in the after life because he totally alienated himself from the source of all good...our creaor.It is beyond me why he was paroled . I don't always approve of American justice, especially in a case like konigsberg's where parole should have never been an option. My best to you and your family.

  4. William, thank you for your thoughts about my family and myself. I understand that you don't mean to be trite about Konigsberg.While it may be that he "really missed what life is about", I also believe that these thoughts of him not having the human capacity to feel remorse is intellectualizing a concept that is totally missing in psychopaths like him. He enjoyed murdering people, got paid well for doing it, enjoyed killing people, and never felt even a tiny bit of remorse. The reality is also that he did not feel "suffering here" and we can only speculate that he hopefully continues to suffer in the afterlife. Nothing can undo the tortured murder and suffering of my father by him and the lifelong painful agony of my family and those of his other victims. Yes, I agree, parole should never have been an option for him, especially the bizarre, aggressive manner in which he acted during his last parole hearing where his request was approved. He was granted parole because the State of NY did not want to pay the huge annual bill for his incarceration and medical care. American Justice is often blind and unfair, mostly dysfunctional with victims being erased, forgotten by the justice system, Thank you again for taking the time to share your thoughts and feelings.
