Robert Yates: Son, husband, athlete, father, pilot, teacher, murder suspect

By Kim Barker, Keiko Morris

Seattle Times staff reporters

Robert Lee Yates threw fast pitches in high school, but didn't have much of a curve. He dreamed in college of being a doctor, but those dreams fell apart about the same time as his first marriage. He worked his way up to an elite post flying helicopters in the Army, but left two years shy of full retirement.

Yates was different things to different people. A stand-up guy, say his high-school friends. A heck of a teacher, say Army subordinates. A family guy. A single parent. A john. Meticulous. Religious.

Spokane authorities now say Yates is a serial killer. European newspapers call him the "notorious Washington Ripper." Investigators from 30 states and two countries have called about him, wondering if he can be linked to their unsolved killings.


Robert Lee Yates

May 27, 1952 - Born in Anacortes to Anna Mae and Robert Lee Yates.

The Washington Post on July 14, 1981 printed a front page article under the headline "CIA Spymaster Accused of Improper Stock Practices." The article was based on the tapes and information the McNells had provided. The Hugel story was quickly disseminated throughout the country via national news services and TV and radio networks. After this media blitz, Hugel resigned his CIA position.

SECNAV INSTRUCTION 1650.1H

From: Assistant Secretary of the Navy (Manpower and Reserve Affairs)

Subj: NAVY AND MARINE CORPS AWARDS MANUAL

1. Purpose. To provide guidance and regulations concerning awards available for recognizing individuals and units in the Naval Service.


2. Navy Cross

a. Authorization. 10 U.S.C. S6242.

b. Eligibility Requirements

(1) Awarded to individuals who, while serving in any capacity with the Navy or Marine Corps, distinguish themselves by extraordinary heroism, not justifying the award of the Medal of Honor.

(a) While engaged in an action against an enemy of the United States;

(b) While engaged in military operations involving conflict with an opposing foreign force; or

(c) While serving with friendly foreign forces engaged in an armed conflict against an opposing armed force, in which the United States is not a belligerent party.

(2) To warrant this distinctive decoration, the act or execution of duty must be performed in the presence of great danger, or at great personal risk, and must be performed in such a manner as to set individuals apart from their shipmates or fellow Marines. An accumulation of minor acts of heroism normally does not justify the award. The high standards SECNAVINST 1650.1H demanded must be borne in mind when recommending the award.

4 The relationship between Hugel and the McNells could easily be the basis of a television mini-series. We will confine our rendition of the facts to the bare minimum required for our review of the instant litigation leaving interested readers in suspense until the release of the mini-series.

5 Hugel and Sam McNell entered into a limited partnership for the purpose of buying and selling securities. In the course of their business relationship, Hugel loaned Sam $377,000 which was secured by some Maine real estate. By September 1974 Hugel and Sam had terminated the limited partnership, and Hugel's relationship with both Sam and Tom McNell had gone sour. Sam's debt to Hugel remained unpaid, and Sam failed to pay Hugel proceeds of the insurance policy Sam collected when the house on the property securing the loan burned down.

6 In 1981, the bad blood between the McNells and Hugel still boiling, Tom McNell met with 2 Washington Post reporters and discussed allegations that Hugel was involved in illegal securities transactions. Hugel by that time had left his executive position with a New Hampshire corporation after his being appointed Deputy Director of Administration for the CIA. Tom gave the Washington Post reporters tapes of phone conversations with Hugel. Sam McNell also met with the reporters and substantiated allegations about Hugel.

7 The Washington Post on July 14, 1981 printed a front page article under the headline "CIA Spymaster Accused of Improper Stock Practices." The article was based on the tapes and information the McNells had provided. The Hugel story was quickly disseminated throughout the country via national news services and TV and radio networks. After this media blitz, Hugel resigned his CIA position. On the same day the McNells disappeared.

8 On November 3, 1982 Hugel filed the instant diversity suit against the McNells in the District of New Hampshire alleging two counts of defamation slander (Count I) and libel (Count II). Recognizing that neither of the McNells were residents of the Granite State (New Hampshire), Hugel filed a motion for service without the state and requested service by publication. Thereafter process was served by filing on the Secretary of State, sending a copy of service to the McNells at their last known abodes, publication for three consecutive weeks in The New York Times and Asbury Park Press, and nationwide distribution of 2 press releases by United Press International.

9 The McNells, still in hiding, did not respond to Hugel's complaint. On February 24, 1983 a default judgment was entered against the McNells, and after a hearing on damages the district court on September 25, 1984 issued a judgment awarding Hugel $931,000.

10 In May 1987 the McNells surfaced--with the help of California law enforcement officers--and faced criminal charged of conspiracy to defraud the U.S. Government and interstate transportation of stolen goods. The McNells pleaded guilty and were sentenced to prison terms for these crimes.

REPORT SAYS BROTHERS WHO FINGERED CIA MAN SURFACE AFTER SIX YEARS

AP , Associated Press

Aug. 19, 1987 12:59 PM ET

ASBURY PARK, N.J. (AP) _ After six years on the run, two brothers whose allegations of insider stock trading led to the downfall of the CIA's No. 2 man have surfaced to face criminal charges, a newspaper reports.

Samuel and Thomas McNell, who accused CIA spy master Max Hugel in 1981 of stock market manipulation, pleaded guilty June 18 to federal charges of conspiring to defraud the United States and transporting stolen property, the Asbury Park Press reported Tuesday.

Samuel McNell, formerly of Holmdel Township, turned himself in to federal authorities June 18, the paper said. It said Thomas McNell, whose last known address was the Forest Hills section of Queens, N.Y., was arrested May 16 in a California bar on charges that he pulled a gun on two police officers.

The charges arose out of the alleged theft of $3.2 million from two small oil and gas exploration companies the McNell brothers founded, according to the Press.

The brothers deposited more than $200,000 in a Swiss bank account and withdrew the money over a six-month period, Assistant U.S. Attorney Martin J. Auerbach told the paper.

Auerbach said the whereabouts of the remaining $3 million would be disclosed in the McNells' presentencing reports due before their Sept. 16 sentencing. The brothers face up to 15 years in prison.

In July 1981, the McNell brothers told The Washington Post that Hugel slipped them inside information in 1974 about potential earnings of Brother International Corp. and improperly funneled $131,000 to their brokerage firm.

Hugel resigned as deputy director of the CIA's clandestine operations division the day the Post story was published, two months after he took the job. He has maintained his innocence and never faced criminal charges.

Hugel, reached Tuesday night at his New Hampshire home, said he ''went into a state of shock'' when he learned from a reporter that the McNells had surfaced.

Now, he said, maybe he will be able to find out why the McNells made the charges against him. ''It's always confused me and, of course, we've got to see what the real story was behind it.''

He said the charges against the brothers exonerate him.

In September 1984, U.S. Magistrate William Barry awarded Hugel $930,000 in his defamation suit against the McNells after the brothers failed to show up for a hearing.

Hugel, who had asked for $7 million in damages, said he felt vindicated by the magistrate's decision. However, he never collected the money.

The McNells disappeared on July 14, 1981, after their accusations against Hugel became public.
