The never-ending story... and I say that with no disrespect, just stating a fact.
In my recollection, there are really no other local stories lasting as long with so many twists and turns, garnering such international interest as the John Demjanjuk story--other than maybe 'missing people' stories (such as Tiffany Papesh, Amy Mihaljevic, Gina DeJesus, Amanda Berry).
Demjanjuk's story began over thirty years ago, and though it is far from over, reached another turning point milestone Monday.
Mr. Demjanjuk boarded a plane with his 'escorts' consisting of Federal Agents and medical personnel Monday evening at Burke Lakefront Airport. By 720pm, he had taken off more than likely never to see Northeast Ohio and his home in Seven Hills again.
He arrived in Germany early this morning and is just waiting for the next chapter of his life to begin...Demjanjuk sat in his wheelchair receiving oxygen as the arrest warrant was read to him.
89-year-old Demjanjuk has been accused of being an accessory to murder for over 29,000 people as a Nazi camp guard in Poland.
I can honestly say that I have worked with the three men in town who know everything about this case, have dissected it, and have shared remarkable stories over the years.
I have had the distinct honor to have worked with Ted Henry, Paul Orlousky, and Dick Russ.
I in no way want to slight any other reporters and anchors in town who have covered this story. But, in my opinion, Ted, Orlo and Dick continue to be the authorities, the go-to guys.
This story is far from over.
It may be closer to nearing the end, but it still has some life.
Honestly, I haven't a clue as to how this will finish out and don't even want to make an educated guess. I do know for a fact that Channel 3 News and wkyc.com will continue following this story and providing the latest, most up-to-date details with our customers.
Stay tuned........
