DETROIT (WXYZ) - Michigan Attorney General Mike Cox is responding to new claims about the rumored party at the Manoogian mansion.
The claims come in a 289-page deposition of a state police detective in the lawsuit filed by the family of Tamara Greene, the exotic dancer who was gunned down in 2003 and rumored to have danced at the Manoogian mansion several months earlier.
In the deposition, the detective says his team wanted access to Detroit Police Department computer files that might have shown there was a link, but several tapes mysteriously disappeared.
Attorney General Cox, who led the investigation into the rumored party, says tapes never vanished. In the deposition, the state police detective says 30 of the 36 tapes he wanted were gone.
Cox says everything that was pertinent to the subpoena was turned over, but the deposition says state police detectives thought the investigation was shut down too soon by the attorney general.
Cox has repeatedly denied this, arguing he promised a swift and comprehensive investigation.
