Key Witness Slain Ties to Vietnam Embezzlement Case
A San Mateo murder targetting Pellegrino J. Pellegrini, a major witness in a federal embezzlement case against Army personnel alleged to skim funds from enlisted clubs in Vietnam, was bludgeoned last Tuesday. Edward Posado, Pellegrini’s estranged husband, is jailed for murder while Pellegrini’s death threatens the trial. The case involves Wooldridge Lazars and two others accused of forming a firm to siphon club funds via padded freight charges, with Pellegrini linked to the scheme as a channel for embezzled money. The incident compounds a larger wartime context described in a separate military communiqué reporting ongoing clashes, casualties, and air strikes across Vietnam.
