While digesting the death of Micheal J. Miske, Jr., and wondering about the lack of information about the circumstances of his death, I’ve been looking back at the hundreds of stories and blog posts I’ve written about Miske and his case.
Here are links to the lists of stories.

Mahalo Ian – I look forward to reading your past reporting…
Looks like you have the makings of an incredible book here, Ian. Are you thinking about writing one?
I wonder if he died from natural causes? His dad died young.
His dad did not die of natural causes. He died after taking cyanide poison, his attorney disclosed during the trial.
The death cause mystery for a modern coroner who spent hours at the prison before removing the body is troubling.
Natural causes are possible, if I recall conversation with Ian Lind over a year ago Lind said “Miskey looked terrible for His age” at initial Court appearance.
Miske wasn’t a smoker, He drank moderately and wasn’t known for huge drug usage in adult life. He was all about making money and rolling over anything in His way.
The intent of clean suicide maybe to try and preserve assets for His beloved Granddaughter.
Hie accomplish His GED in prison. A Last Will and Testament might divulge His intentions. His Forfeiture is still outstanding. A WILL may throw a monkey wrench in the Federal seizure.
Excepting a FULL PARDON by President Biden, Miskey had no options for life. Never one to give up without a fight, this may have opened an avenue to preserve wealth and His family may file suit against U.S, DOJ to enhance that effort.
