>>1427512 Adding this piece to this post as memorial as he had no next of kin to do it

NEW YORK, NY - First Grade Detective and former Marine Tom Nerney walks quietly into the Skylight Diner on west 34th Street. His black suit, tailored shirt and perfect posture give away his Corps background. Just after dawn on this early-summer day in Manhattan, Det. Nerney is starting his day.

That One Day

The detective doesn't want to talk about September 11, 2001, but he remarks, "we got a lot of people out of there." Many of the 23 NYPD cops who died were from the Manhattan south area, just a stone's through from the site, but not to mention the 37 Port Authority police officers and 343 New York City fire fighters and emergency personnel.

"It was my Marine Corps training that allowed me to live through it." Its very easy to picture the detective becoming 23 year-old Corporal Nerney, USMC, as he and many others guided thousands out of the World Trade Center that awful day.

Devotion to the Finest

Det. Nerney has helped solve the cases of 22 slain NYPD officers, and continues to work on other cases, some recent, some old. He is the only detective in the Major Case Squad hunting cop-killers full time.

Linda Scheu's husband, police officer George Scheu was killed when he confronted a car thief near his home in Queens. The officer, a United States Navy Reserve Petty Officer, was wearing his summer whites when enroute to his weekend drill. It took 14 years, thousands of hours and scores of detectives, but one day Henry Vega bragged to an undercover officer about the murder - on videotape.

"He's been there from day one, he's the only one who's been there from the beginning. I couldn't have a better person in my corner," Mrs. Scheu said.

In an interview for a New York Post story in May, 2001 Det. Nerney said, "If the cop in the street can't believe that someone is watching his or her back and there's a swift reaction to someone who has killed one of them, then it becomes more difficult for him or her to do their work."

And on this summer day, Det. Nerney cuts short his interview to go brainstorm with other detectives on the murder of Robert Bolden, an officer killed more than 30 years earlier while off duty at a restaurant in Brooklyn.

He's being forced to retire in September. But this detective, who has been recognized for not calling in sick even one day in his 36-year career, has not had enough. "I hate to leave," he says with grit in his voice.

While A Leatherneck

Det. Nerney left his Queens home in 1959 to join the Corps. His brother James had joined a religious order to teach high school. The detective knew that was not to be his path. His father, proud but apparently stoic, let a tear fall upon the news of his son's enlistment.

His five years in the Corps were busy. He was assigned to AIRFMF-WESTPAC and other duty stations and learned French and Japanese.

NYPD Captain Ernie Naspretto wrote a chapter about Det. Nerney for an upcoming book. He aptly wrote about the influence the Corps left upon this Marine, probably without even knowing he was doing so.

"Tom Nerney looked like a TV detective. He dressed impeccably and was immaculately groomed; his full head of closely cropped graying hair and mustache perfectly in place. He spoke in a deliberate, yet flowing professional manner. He rarely swore and showed respect to the uniformed officers and supervisors who were present. Although it was apparent that this detective was a confident true professional who knew he was excellent at what he did, there was nothing pretentious about him. His 5'9" medium build frame was not imposing but his piercing blue eyes and perfectly chiseled face sent a message, "Don't even think about [messing] with me." Those same eyes softened when he smiled and showed genuine empathy for crime victims and their families."

Suspect in Thwarted San Francisco Terror Attack Wanted to ‘Funnel People’ Onto Pier 39 and Shoot Them: Federal Indictment

A former US Marine suspected of plotting a Christmas holiday terror attack on a popular San Francisco tourist destination was indicted Thursday by a grand jury.

Everitt Aaron Jameson said he wanted to use pipe bombs to “funnel people into an area in order to shoot them,” at Pier 39, according to the federal indictment.

Jameson, 26 of Modesto, California, was indicted on one count each of attempting to provide material support to a foreign terrorist organization, and distribution of information relating to destructive devices, according to court papers.

In a statement to CNN on Thursday, Jameson’s federally appointed public defender Charles Lee said his office “will investigate the possibility of an entrapment defense, as well as the government’s inability to prove beyond a reasonable doubt any attempted criminal act given Mr. Jameson told the FBI undercover employee ‘I also don’t think I can do this after all. I’ve reconsidered.’ ”

In court papers, Lee said Jameson is mentally ill and didn’t have the means to carry out the attack, The Fresno Bee reported Thursday.

The FBI had started watching Jameson in September after becoming aware of social media activity in which he “liked” or “loved” posts about terror attacks and ISIS, according to a federal affidavit written by an FBI agent.

Undercover FBI agents posed as ISIS supporters and contacted Jameson. He met with an undercover FBI employee on December 16 and told them he wanted to conduct the attack using weapons and explosives, the complaint said.

Jameson asked the agent for remote timing devices for the pipe bombs and described how to use the devices in the attack, the indictment said.

According to the affidavit, Jameson said Christmas Day “was the perfect day to commit the attack,” which would be styled after the October 31 attack in New York City in which a man killed eight people when he drove a truck down a bike lane, the affidavit said.

Jameson had said he’d just started working as a tow truck driver, which could help in the attack, according to the affidavit. He expressed loyalty to ISIS and its leader, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, and offered to donate money and contribute his firearms skills, the affidavit said.

Jameson asked the undercover agents to get him an assault rifle and explosives and sent them photos of what appeared to be Pier 39, the affidavit said.

Jameson had served in the US Marines in 2009 and attained a sharpshooter rifle qualification. He was later discharged for fraudulent enlistment because he failed to disclose a latent asthma history, the affidavit said.

After several communications on December 18, Jameson appeared to back out, telling an undercover agent, “I also don’t think I can do this after all. I’ve reconsidered,” the affidavit said.

Authorities searched his Modesto home on December 20 and found firearms, empty magazines, ammunition and fireworks, the complaint said. They also found a will and a handwritten letter, which said “you’ve allowed Donald Trump to give Al Quds away to the Jews,” in an apparent reference to the President’s decision to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, according to the complaint.

“We have penetrated and infiltrated your disgusting country,” the letter said, according to the complaint.

Lee argued authorities didn’t find any bomb-making materials in the home. He also said the guns authorities did find belonged to a relative who legally owned them and had locked them in a gun case Jameson couldn’t access, The Fresno Bee reported.

Jameson is being held in the Fresno County Jail without bail pending his trial and is scheduled to be arraigned in federal court on Friday, CNN affiliate KPIX reported.
