Close friend of Connell dismisses foul play talk
Curtis Randy Cole, a close friend and former colleague of the GOP political consultant who died when his plane crashed in a suburb here last Friday, dismissed suspicions of foul play in an interview with RAW STORY Sunday evening.



In an interview at his Ira Road home where he based his recent failed run for Ohio State’s 41st District House seat last year, Cole, the former President of Michael Connell’s government contracting company GovTech Solutions, revealed how the bad news arrived to Connell’s friends and family members late Friday night. “I got a call from a GovTech employee late Friday that that his plane had crashed,” Cole said, “I thought ‘bad weather’ or ‘icing of the wings.’”

Randy Cole isn't buying it. When told of the alleged threats Cole said that in all the hours he spent flying with his friend in the close-quartered cockpit of the Piper Saratoga, he says Connell never shared any worries or suggestions of threats or intimidation. For Cole, something went wrong and for him the weather was the most likely culprit.

2. Did they threaten him too? Is he just a 'good soldier' of the Reich?
