David Winters, producer of three of the actor's martial arts movies, asserts Carradine was the victim of Bangkok's “Lady Boys” and that local police are trying to cover up the truth, the Web site says.


It also reports that retired FBI agent Ted Gunderson, who has been hired by the Globe newspaper to investigate the Carradine case, concurs with Winters. Gunderson believes the hookers drugged Carradine, hanged him and then staged a suicide setting.
