During the time of my father's death in 2008, I was living in Seattle, Washington operating my Skin Care Clinic. I was distraught in knowing that what was told to me over and over again by my father became a reality. My father had predicted his own death at the hands of Rick Rizzolo.
I remember my father clearly telling me over the phone two days prior to his death that "if Rick or his associates kill me, it will be done statically -- more so they will make it look like a drug overdose."

Rick Rizzolo was sent back to prison on September 14, 2011 for nine months on parole violation.

I strongly believe that Rick Rizzolo, or his friends killed my father. My only wish would be for justice to be served.

I will not give up with my quest for the truth to be told in the death of my father Jim "Buffalo" Barrier. If anyone knows anything about my father's death, please contact me.

Who killed "Buffalo" Jim Barrier?

Veterans In Politics International lost a friend and a brother still without answers

Las Vegas, Nevada Jim "Buffalo" Barrier was a friend to many Southern Nevadans, he was also a friend and a brother to many members of the Veterans In Politics International and many of us still feel the lost of "Buffalo" Jim.

Buffalo Jim's daughter Jennifer Barrier still battles with the loss of her father who passed away April 6, 2008, under mysterious, but yet obvious reasons.

Jennifer Barrier explains:

I have no doubt in my mind that this was a set-up, a murder due to the way that my father was found dead and the threatening letters he received prior to his death. I have been fighting since then to unravel the truth to my father's death. Circumstantial evidence surrounding my father's death remains unclear.

My father was a Professional Wrestler and Auto Shop Owner. My father fought for his business right to exist against Rick Rizzolo. During the last ten years, prior to my father's passing, Rick Rizzolo wanted to take my father out of business so that he could expand his strip club.

Rizzolo owned the infamous Crazy Horse Too strip club, which was closed by the United States Department of Justice on April 2007. My father assisted the Federal Government in their Organized Crime investigation that landed Rizzolo in prison for one year for tax evasion and racketeering in which Rizzolo also lost his strip club as part of a plea bargain to lessen his sentence. The United States Marshals owned the property before the first deed of trust purchased the property for $3 million. When the United States Marshals took control of the property it was worth $35 million.

Rick Rizzolo was released from prison on April 4, 2008, my father was found dead in a Motel 6 on April 6, 2008, two days following Rizzolo's release. Many failures occurred on the part of the local authorities in regards to following the standard protocol procedures towards securing and protecting the crime scene. As a result the evidence was contaminated and "apparently" could no longer be used. The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department had my 20 year old sister to identify the body at the crime scene. Elise, 20 (at that time) arrived with my baby sister Jerica, 15. They even granted Jerica my 15 year old sister access to identifying my father and they handed all evidence and belongings of my father to her when they should have bag and tagged all evidence for future investigation. To this day, Elise and Jerica are still traumatized from this experience.

We also witness the current Mayor of North Las Vegas Shari Buck recuse herself from the city council special election meeting, due to having her husband and children as paid workers on Wade Wagner's campaign the opponent of City Councilman Richard Cherchio. Veterans In Politics was told that Wade Wagner was brought into this race by Mayor Buck. We believe Mayor Buck needs to take lessons from Las Vegas Mayor Oscar Goodman and stay out of council races.

North Las Vegas Mayor Buck a registered Republican has aligned herself with the police and fire fighters unions. Republicans are against unions going back to the Eisenhower era. It is clear that Mayor Buck is the type of politician we warn the public about; self serving and an opportunist not looking out for the people's best interest, but looking to win the next election.

That goes the same for Wade Wagner who made it clear on Veterans In Politics endorsement interview that he did not know the budget of North Las Vegas, but he would be willing to raise taxes on his constituency. This is the same individual that has none of his four businesses in North Las Vegas. See interview: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mD2fHaKTs...

Veterans In Politics believes the madness and dysfunctionality that is now faced with the North Las Vegas City Council is their budget deficit. The council is now faced with laying off employees. The council is trying to be fair about it by laying off people across the board however the Police Union appears to have a sense of entitlement and feels that they are "God" and should not follow suit with everyone else.

According to the Police Unions President Michael Yarter, libraries and parks are frivolous spending. We would like to find out if the spending that is done by the Police Unions are frivolous as well, for example attack mailers against Councilman Richard Cherchio and billboards all over North Las Vegas telling criminals that they have a safe haven in North Las Vegas.

What about unethical behavior that is being conducted by the Police Unions, they have their off duty police officers wearing their "POLICE" shirts knocking on doors and intimidating the people of North Las Vegas to vote for Wade Wagner?

Has anyone asked why the Police Unions want Wade Wagner so bad? Four words "puppet on a string".
