Blind Item #3 - Man Hunt - A Birdie Blind Item

You may have read about it by now. If you haven't, just know that police in a foreign country have just reopened a decades-old murder-for-hire case. If it had been successful, it would have been one of the crimes of the century. As it is, it was one of the scandals of the century.

What's being kept under wraps though is the connection to a notorious international pedophile ring. Police are working round the clock on this manhunt, knowing that if he's still alive other accusers might be at risk.

This all goes back to that last decade of political turmoil, when a certain third party politician with aspirations for high office tried, in vein, to sweep the skeletons from his closet. Not surprisingly, he was a key player in this ring. More shocking, but no less surprising, is that an occupant of the high office itself was also a part of it. Police have long suspected that the man in charge of recruitment was a doctor from a long time, war torn country, who served briefly as one of the personal and official doctors to both other men.
