Prologue
I suddenly became aware of accounts regarding my brother’s life and death, contrasting reports we understood coming from him, with ones contrary to our family’s knowledge of his work. Emerging from watching a History Channel special, just a few Internet searches and Pandora’s Box opened up wide, revealing Alan Robert Foringer’s life, affiliations, and motivations.
The discovery of accounts detailing my brother’s employment with the CIA, and his death occurring under mysterious circumstances which was stated “likely foul play,” struck the very core of my being. After Alan’s sudden death, on August 9th, 1991, at the Marianne’s Doctors Hospital, in Metro Manila, his family would have no idea there were any circumstances, other than natural causes, surrounding his death for ten years.
Neither my parents, my four older sisters nor myself had any clue Alan was anything other than the salesman we knew he was for a variety of companies. For over 25 years, I have been entangled with intense periodic pursuits learning about Alan’s life and circumstances surrounding his death, with some seasons of rest just to keep a sense of order in my family and professional life.
