Michael from Muckrock writes, “Mr. Russell Jones. Maybe the name doesn’t ring any bells for you. On February 3, 1999, when the Federal Bureau of Investigation first ran their records on him, there were over a thousand people that made that match. In New York, there were 196. Another 164 of them turned up as living nearby in New Jersey. Perhaps you’d recognize him by another name. After all, there was only one Ol’ Dirty Bastard. Today, on the 12th anniversary of his death, MuckRock takes a look at his voluminous files with the FBI.
The FBI continued to monitor the WTC for the rest of the year via the NYPD 120 Detective Squad. The collection of records they provided are like a game of “Wu-Tang Mad Libs”: Insinuations, Subtle and Otherwise.
