Ritchie, Wayne

In March 1999, when some details of Gottlieb s secret experiments were revealed in his obituary. Deputy US Marshal Wayne Ritchie was browsing through his newspaper in San Jose. His eyes widened when he read that in the late 1950s, George White had been administering LSD covertly to ordinary citizens in San Francisco. 

Wayne Ritchie - a Deputy Marshal in San Francisco who believes he was given LSD covertly in 1957... 

From March 1957 until March 1999, Wayne Ritchie lived a life of unremitting guilt, unable to understand his criminal actions and recurrently thinking of suicide. He tried to do penance by taking a low level job as a painter and devoted much of his time to repairing and painting the interior of the church he had joined. 

After speaking immediately to an FBI agent, he sought records from the government but was advised that there was no record of any Wayne Ritchie serving as a deputy marshal in 1957. This Kafkaesque denial of his existence was only reversed when he was able to produce W-2 forms from 1957. Then, he received 20 pages of employment records including his service in the Marines and at Alcatraz.
