She was stoned during the interviews & he still believed her?! He doesn't think prostitution is a crime? He claims that her daughters weren't under aged at the time? Did he read his own book?

Wow, evidently the to ESPN Louisville talk radio guys heard entirely different words coming out of Dick Cady's mouth than I did. That was some spin they put on it after he hung up! Cady basically said he stood by the book and they said he danced around it. They said he said he didn't consider what happened prostitution but what he actually said was that the daughters when they were underage didn't do anything that would be considered prostitution. Those too guys were some kind of homers.

He said she wasn't stoned during his interviews with her.

Here's the Q & A with the newspaper.

He said she wasn't stoned during his interviews with her.

He is vague with his answers. He also admitted that he didn't do any of the investigation.

It's also has been reported that she confessed in the book to prostituting out her 15 & 17 year old daughters & supplying them drugs. Under Kentucky law prostituting out girls under 18 is a felony punishable by 15-20 years in jail.

They said they had a credible source who was there for the interviews who said she was. If you read the Q & A in the paper, linked above, you would notice that there was someone there for all of his interviews, my guess is that it would be her, only an assumption on my part. Possibly could have been others there as well.

From that Q & A:

Q) Whose attorneys called you?

A)McGee.

So you spoke to Scott Cox before --

I didn't. Patricia Keiffner did.

And she came with you on the meetings to Louisville, or was that Mickey Maurer?

That was her.

Is that common, to have a publisher go down (to interview subjects) with you?

Well, she's an unusual publisher because she's not only the publisher, she's practically the whole staff. I kept calling her the editor. I was the writer.

You wanted to have her with you?

She established the best rapport with Katina Powell. That's why she was there. She talked to Katina practically every day. I talked to (Powell) maybe 10, 15 times, something like that. I'm sure Patricia Keiffner talked to her 50 times.

Ok I read the transcript. He didn't come across as vague to me at all. As for Powell being stoned, if you are talking about high on pot how exactly does that discredit the interviews? Being high doesn't make a person lie, it makes em hungry. As for the daughters it seems entirely possible that their role in all of this changed over time. Didn't this go on from 2010 to 2014?

Talk about it in The Collision Course
My life would have been a lot better if I had never heard of Katina Powell. Her revelations (or more likely her delusions) have caused me to wake up every morning since last Friday waiting for the other shoe to drop in the so-called prostitution/UofL former staff-member accusations.

It appears no one knows the truth including Powell, especially book author Dick Cady. Cady claims to be a reluctant author that refers to this endeavor (writing the book) as such, "I didn't want to take part in the project. I saw it as an awful lot of work involving a lot of time and an awful lot of bullsh-".

He initially turned it down but agreed to write the book after a request from (Indiana Business Journal owner/chairman) Mickey Maurer, "he sent me an email". After that email and most likely some serious cash, the elderly Cady agreed to write the book despite some "serious problems".

After reading Powell's journals and analyzing the Powell information in depth, Cady contacted Maurer and asked, "You sure you want to do a book like this". Maurer was emphatic that Cady should continue. At that point in the interview with C-J reporter Jeff Greer, Cady claims that he spent about five months verifying the information in the journals and "some of it was difficult and some of it wasn't". This is where Cady's credibility takes a hit.

He has already admitted that he didn't want to do the "bullsh--" necessary to write a book like this, but now claims that "Every time that we went after a fact, we either found it, or found something resembling it." The "we" in this saga is IBJ Publisher Patricia Keiffner who according to Cady talked to Powell at least 50 times.

Keiffner is the former Lexington Chamber of Commerce General Manager working for Maurer and the energy behind the book. Cady claimed to have talked to Powell "10 to 15 times". That would indicate that Keiffner was verifying the information in the Powell journals and passing it on to Cady.

Problematic in this scenario is the fact that no one - outside of Powell - named in this sordid affair admits to having any meaningful contact with Keiffner or Cady. How were they able to "find the facts" is a question that they are unwilling to answer.

My guess is that Powell was the originator and verifier of all the salacious content of her journals. Perhaps the most suspicious character in this tale is Maurer, the ultra-rich IU benefactor and a person known to use his money to manipulate events. He has IU officials on speed-dial and has given major bucks to the school.

Several questions about his involvement in this case are worthy of investigation: how did Powell and Maurer get together? Why did Maurer create an LLC Publishing company for this one book? Why did Maurer first contact IU officials when contemplating publishing the book? Why dedicate an editor (Keiffner) full-time to a project with such dubious credibility and questionable money-making potential?

I also have serious questions about Cady's veracity and Keiffner's motivation. Another question is why Powell, who said she is "in this for the money," would agree to only 10 percent of the net profit. This kind of deal would indicate that Maurer didn't expect to make much money, but wanted to insure that he recouped his investment.

This entire allegation smells like a locker room after a four-hour practice. Every time we try to verify some of the claims we turn over a rock and another slithery creature crawls away. I don't know how this is going to end, but if I was Katina Powell I would be very concerned. I doubt she makes enough money on the book to pay her anticipated attorney fees.

He made it clear that there were investigators vetting the claims. It wasn't he and the editor doing it.

Her destiny!

If you're a Pulitzer Prize winning investigative reporter wouldn't you do your own investigation as well? How do you "thoroughly" investigate & write a book in 5 months? This is a serious matter, why rush through it? He even says that the book is based on some assumptions that he deems "reasonable". Just because he can speculate & come up with a "reasonable" explanation doesn't make it a fact.

As far as the daughters, she confessed to prostituting them out at those ages, it's in the book! If that fact is wrong then what else has been embellished? Why doesn't he know what he wrote in the book?

Another excerpt from the Q & A:

So, every answer that you ever got, going through this, was --

I don't know what you mean by 'every answer you ever got.' Every time that we went after a fact, we either found it, or found something resembling it.



(What does this mean? "...we either found it, or found something resembling it.")

It simply means that human memory isn't perfect. When they checked out what she said in interviews they found it to hold up. Every statement might not be absolutely correct as is any recollection.

If you ask me what I did Saturday September 25th, I might answer that I went to the Campbell football game against Davidson and afterward we ate at Grandson's Buffet. You fact check and find out that it was actually Methodist that they played that weekend. Well I went to the game and I ate at the buffet but I confused the opponent with the game I saw a week or two later.
