Also does she explain why he keeps getting transferred around to various prisons?.....that's something I'm not familiar with happening on a frequent basis like he is going to different jobs sites.
Has Mark been getting transferred around? Some transfers happen as prisoners are classified and move through the system. He is now housed at Solano State Prison in Vacaville which is consistent for his classification. A number of long-term/lifer prisons who do not present a major security risk end up there.
In Kerry's first interview, she said she had seen Mark in Vacaville Prison, which doesn't actually exist. There are two prisons there: the Cal Medical Facility and Solano. I only have been following Mark's housing very sporadically but as far as I can remember, he has been at SSP - which is yet another coincidence I suppose given Kerry's frequent references to the secret space program.
One last note: I recently asked the National Archives if they had any records pertaining to military service by Mark Richards. JoAnn states in this interview that after high school, he served as a lieutenant in the Army, flew helicopters in Vietnam and participated in the evacuation of Saigon. Since Mark was a full time college student at that time - graduating in 1976- this seemed doubtful.
During the same month that JoAnn states that Mark captained a deep space battle, he was married in Marin and working locally.
But to err on the side of caution I requested confirmation using Mark's date of birth and the general information JoAnn has provided (dates, service branch, etc.). I just got the answer yesterday. Nothing turned up. so if she has any records to substantiate her claims, perhaps she could bring them to the next interview.
She could also could verify that Mark was a Rhodes Scholar (since he is not listed in the data base) and his degree in Quantum Physics. But the military records would be a good start,
