  given food as a reward.

  After receiving the request from Tallahassee, SS/A [deleted]
  contacted me while I was on official business at Customs
  Headquarters.  He requested that I conduct computer checks on
  the Customs Child Pornography Unit data base. The checks were
  to be conducted on the names, addresses, and a vehicle provided
  by SS/A [deleted]. After conducting the computer checks, I made
  direct contact with SS/A [deleted] to inform him that all the
  checks were negative. At that time I was informed by SS/A
  [deleted] that the Tallahassee police had discovered large
  quantities of records, to include computer discs and a U.S.
  passport in the van. From some of these records the police had
  obtained tentative identification of the two adults, and
  partial identification of the children. Furthermore, the two
  Washington, D.C.  addresses had been discovered through these
  documents, one of which was verified through the vehicle
  registration. I advised SS/A [deleted] I was leaving
  Headquarters and he would be receiving a response to the
  remainder of his request from SS/A [deleted]. I then left as
  stated and proceeded to conduct other business in the District.

  A short time later, at approximately 11:30 a.m., SS/A [deleted]
  contacted me by radio, and advised me that a Detective
  [deleted] of the Washington, D.C. Metropolitan Police
  Department (MPD) was interested in the information provided by
  SS/A [deleted], was in contact with Tallahassee, and would very
  probably be conducting search warrants in the area later in the
  day. He also informed me that U.S. Customs was invited to
  participate due to the continuing possibility of violations of
  law enforced by the Customs Service.  As I was already in
  Washington, I terminated my other business and proceeded to
  make contact with Detective [deleted], Intelligence Division,
  MPD.

  Upon contacting Detective [deleted], I learned that he had
  initiated an investigation on the two addresses provided by the
  Tallahassee Police Dept. during December of 1986. An informant
  had given him information regarding a cult, known as the
  "Finders" operating various businesses out of a warehouse
  located at 1307 4th St., N.E., and were supposed to be housing
  children at 3918/3920 W St., N.W. The information was specific
  in describing "blood rituals" and sexual orgies involving
  children, and an as yet unsolved murder in which the Finders
  may be involved. With the information provided by the
  informant, Detective [deleted] was able to match some of the
  children in Tallahassee with names of children known alleged to
  be in the custody of the Finders. Furthermore, [deleted] was
  able to match the tentative ID of the adults with known members
  of the Finders.  I stood by while [deleted] consulted with AUSA
  [deleted] and obtained search warrants for the two premises. I
  advised acting RAC SS/A [deleted] of my intention to accompany
  MPD on the execution of the warrants, and received his
  permission, and was joined by SS/A [deleted]. SS/A [deleted]
  accompanied the team which went to 1307 4th St, and I went to
  3918/20 W St.

  During the execution of the warrant at 3918/20 W St., I was
  able to observe and access the entire building. I saw large
  quantities of children's clothing and toys. The clothing
  consisting of diapers and clothes in the toddler to pre-school
  range. No children were found on the premises. There were
  several subjects on the premises.  Only one was deemed to be
  connected with the Finders. The rest were renting living space
  from this individual. He was identified as Stuart Miles
  SILVERSTONE, DOB/061941, U.S. Passport No. 010958991.
  SILVERSTONE was located in a room equipped with several
  computers, printers, and numerous documents. Cursory
  examination of the documents revealed detailed instructions for
  obtaining children for unspecified purposes. The instructions
  included the impregnation of female members of the community
  known as the Finders, purchasing children, trading, and
  kidnapping. There were telex messages using MCI account numbers
  between a computer terminal believed to be located in the same

  room, and others located across the country and in foreign
  locations. One such telex specifically ordered the purchase of
  two children in Hong Kong to be be arranged through a contact
  in the Chinese Embassy there. Another telex expressed interest
  in "bank secrecy" situations. Other documents identified
  interests in high-tech transfers to the United Kingdom,
  numerous properties under the control of the Finders, a keen
  interest in terrorism, explosives, and the evasion of law
  enforcement. Also found in the "computer room" was a detailed
  summary of the events surrounding the arrest and taking into
  custody of the two adults and six children in Tallahassee the
  previous night. There were also a set of instructions which
  appeared to be broadcast via a computer network which advised
  the participants to move "the children" and keep them moving
  through different jurisdictions, and instructions on how to
  avoid police attention.

  One of the residents was identified as a Chinese National. Due
  to the telex discovered referencing the Chinese Embassy in Hong
  Kong, he was fully identified for future reference:
  WANG/Gengxin, DOB/092747, POB/Tianjin, People's Republic of
  China Passport No. 324999, entered the U.S. on January 22,
  1987, admitted until December 31, 1987. He is in the U.S. as a
  graduate student in the Anatomy Department of Georgetown
  University. His Visa was issued on November 10, 1986, in
  London, England, number 00143.

  During the course of the evening, I contacted Sector 4 to
  initiate a TECS check on SILVERSTONE, and initiate an archives
  check on him for the last four years. I also contacted SS/A
  [deleted] to keep him advised of the proceedings and asked for
  and received permission to contact SS/A [deleted] of the CPPU
  to query some names through the CPPU data base. SS/A [deleted]
  told me he would call Southeast Region Headquarters to keep
  them posted on the proceedings as well. I later contacted SS/A
  [deleted] for the stated purpose, and in the discussion that
  followed I gave him some background on the purpose of the
  request. I advised him that the information was not for
  dissemination at Headquarters, that Region was being notified,
  and that Region would probably contact Headquarters later if
  deemed necessary. SS/A [deleted] assured me that the
  information would go no further until official notification was
  made by Region. No positive matches were obtained from the CPPU
  data base. I was later joined at the W Street address by SS/A
  [deleted].  SS/A [deleted] advised me that there were extremely
  large quantities of documents and computer equipment at the
  warehouse, and that MPD was posting officers inside the
  building there and sealing the building until morning, in which
  a second warrant for that premises would be obtained and
  executed. SS/A [deleted] also advised me that the news media
  had been notified and had been waiting for the execution of the
  warrant at the 4th Street address. Detective [deleted] later
  stated that the MPD Public Information Officer had been
  contacted by a Tallahassee reporter.  When it became apparent
  that the PIO had no information on the search warrants , the
  reporter contacted local media representatives and a check of
  public records containing the affidavits for the search
  warrants disclosed the locations and purpose of the warrants.
  Detective [deleted] surmised that someone on the Tallahassee
  Police Department was the original source of the information
  for the press. I advised SS/A [deleted] of the involvement of
  the press, and he stated that he would, in turn, relay the
  information to Region. SS/A [deleted] and I assisted in the
  transport of the evidence seized pursuant to the warrant and
  cleared MPD after the press left the area.

  On Friday, 2/6/87, I met Detective [deleted] at the warehouse
  on 4th Street, N.E. I duly advised my acting group supervisor,
  SS/A [deleted].  I was again granted unlimited access to the
  premises. I was able to observe numerous documents which
  described explicit sexual conduct between the members of the
