Vincent Foster murdered on July 20, 1993

New York Times July 21, 1993, front page

On July 21, 1993, Gwen Ifill reported Vince Foster was "found dead of an apparently self-inflicted gunshot wound."  Ifill's source was anonymous.  Ifill wrote, "White House officials would not speculate Tuesday night about what may have caused Mr. Foster to take his own life."

There was nothing apparent to conclude that Foster took his own life.  

- The investigation by the FBI and Park Police had just started.

- When Foster left the White House he told his staff he would return.

- Foster was found in a remote park without his car or any car keys.

- The gun at the scene did not correspond to the wound in Foster's neck.

- Foster did not own the gun.

- There was very little blood.

- Paramedics coded the death a homicide in their report.

- The person who discovered the body was anonymous.

- The night of Foster's death his family told police he was not depressed.

- There was no exit wound.

On August 12, 1993, Gwen Ifill helped conceal the fact that Foster was murdered by falsely reporting, "The gun Mr. Foster used to kill himself belonged to the antique gun collection of his father, the police have determined."

Investigators had not shown any family member the actual gun found with Foster.  Miguel Rodriguez, the associate independent counsel under Ken Starr, wrote in an internal memo that the gun found with Foster was brought by police who staged the crime scene and then re-photgraphed it.
