During his investigation into the sale of the Old Town apartment building, Dogboy discovered a connection between Marc Rinstone and City Councilman Wiley White. White is currently under investigation for taking bribes, among other charges.
“It isn’t enough for an arrest,” said Dogboy, “but it is enough to bring him in.”
The witness behind this connection is none other than Omar Jefferson, the main opposition to Rinstone’s purchase. Jefferson’s connection is another obstacle in this drama. Many are claiming that Jefferson is faking his testimony in order to stop the purchase.

Thanks to the investigative work of WAG News’s own Sally Pine, and Dogboy, the identity of John Doe is now known. He is Omar Jefferson, the missing witness in the Rinstone scandal. Pine and Dogboy discovered that Jefferson went to see Dr. Franklin, a court appointed psychologist. Dr. Franklin’s job was to learn if Jefferson was faking his testimony in order to get back at Rinstone for wanting to buy the apartment building he lived in.
Dr. Franklin allegedly secretly worked for Rinstone. According to police, Dr. Franklin was paid to drug Jefferson. Jefferson was then turned over to thugs working for Rinstone. The thugs beat Jefferson and left him in the park. According to Dr. Yeets, a specialist who works with the police, the drug was designed to cause amnesia. The plan was Jefferson would either die from his injuries or lose his memory.
