Mary Todd is coming to New York in her quest for justice.
The mother of Dr. Shane Truman Todd, the American engineer found hanging in his Singapore apartment two years ago, has co-written a book, “Hard Drive: A Family’s Fight Against Three Countries,” with Shane’s cousin, Dr. Christina Villegas.
The California women claim Shane was murdered and that authorities ruled his death a suicide for political reasons.
“He had expressed fear for his life,” Villegas told me. “We don’t know who is responsible for his murder, but all three countries are guilty of destruction of evidence and the coverup.”
Villegas, who is coming with Todd to New York on Sept. 5, said, “The US State Department is fully aiding the perversion of justice. As soon as John Kerry met with Singapore Foreign Minister K. Shanmugam, the FBI lost all interest in the case.”
When I told Villegas the story sounded like a Hollywood thriller, she agreed, “Sometimes it’s hard to believe it’s real, unless it happens to your own family.”
