Nathan Baca
Baca interviewed Glen Heggstad, who provided him with a book he had written, autographed with a note urging Baca to seek the truth and keep an open mind, as 'just because a cop or prosecutor says something, doesn't make it true.'
Nathan Baca is a reporter for KESQ-TV, News Channel 3. He won a regional Emmy for his 35-part series entitled "The Octopus Murders," which focused on the Fred Alvarez triple homicide case. At the podium, while accepting his Emmy Award, Baca stated, "I do this in memory of murder victims Ralph Boger, Fred Alvarez and Patricia Castro. I hope and pray that justice, a justice that has been delayed for far too many years, will soon be had by the families of these victims."1
Baca interviewed Glen Heggstad, who provided him with a book he had written, autographed with a note urging Baca to seek the truth and keep an open mind, as "just because a cop or prosecutor says something, doesn't make it true."1
Baca's news report on July 2, 2010, aired a segment of a 25-year-old interview in which Jimmy Hughes said that the Fred Alvarez triple homicide in 1981 was an "ordered assassination," and that he was only the bagman. Hughes told the reporter, Patrick Healy, in the 1985 news clip that the hit was an "authorized, backed, government covert action."1
