A MAN WELL·KNOWN TO CHILDREN

After the Patterson Webb girls raised Larry King's name,
Julie Walters asked some discreet questions about King of
Boys Town employees, and of some people in the north Omaha
community. Walters summarized what she was told:
"If you mess with him, you'll get your legs broken."
"On the outside he has all the appearances of an upstanding
citizen; but underneath he's very dirty."
"Omaha has a very large underworld and he's a very
powerful man nationally. Maybe he doesn't have all the
connections personally but he knows the people who do.
. . . [King] used to be very active in Big Brothers and took
more than an appropriate interest in the young men."
Walters also recorded information on Fort Calhoun school
officials Deward Finch and Kent Miller, whose "good friend"
Washington Country prosecutor Pat Tripp was. Finch would
later be named by two other victim-witnesses as an associate
of Larry King.
Walters wrote:
Kimberly overheard Mrs. Webb tell someone on the phone,
"I got him [Finch] all the way. 1 caught him several times
down there with black girls." Nelly saw Mr. Finch leave the
Webb home once as she returned home from school and
Kimberly saw him leave the Webb house several times during
daytime hours. Kimberly's first period class at school
is a study hall which is located across the hall from the
school's office. She said Mr. Finch would regularly call the
Webbs and say, "It's time for another meeting." Mr. Finch
would interrupt whatever he was doing when the Webbs
arrived to meet with them, meeting in the school office
sometimes for several hours. At some meetings, Kent
Miller, principal of Ft. Calhoun H.S., was also present.
Mrs. Webb almost always carried a large Gucci bag (almost
the size of a shopping bag) with her into these meetings.
Kimberly said Mrs. Webb carried some photo envelopes
(from Mrs. Webb's closet) with her at least once into these
