In late January 1997, barrister and solicitor [name deleted] of [location deleted]’s Ministry of Justice, Family Law division, contacted me about the possibility of examining satanic abuse allegations that appeared in one of her cases. She had obtained my name from an Edmonton Police Service officer who (at the time) worked on the “Cult and Occult Crime” desk of the Edmonton Integrated Intelligence Unit, and with whom I have worked closely for several years. After I accepted the offer, [the solicitor] lent me three spiral binders of reports, statements, etc. involving the family of [the mother]. Each of the binders that I received already was subdivided by numbered subdividers. Subsequently [the solicitor] sent me copies of additional information, which for purely administrative reasons I refer to as “binder 4.”
