Chile seeks extradition of ex-U.S. military officer in 1973 death
November 30, 2011 | By Fabiola Gutierrez and Chris Kraul, Los Angeles Times
Reporting from Santiago, Chile, and Bogota, — A Chilean judge is seeking the extradition of a former U.S. military officer to face murder charges in the 1973 slaying of freelance journalist and filmmaker Charles Horman, a case dramatized in the Oscar-winning film "Missing," court sources confirmed Tuesday.
Judge Jorge Zepeda wants former U.S. Navy Capt. Ray E. Davis, whose whereabouts were not immediately clear Tuesday, to face trial in Chile for his alleged involvement in the deaths of Horman and U.S. student Frank Teruggi. The two Americans were arrested and executed by Chilean forces shortly after President Salvador Allende was overthrown in a military coup on Sept. 11, 1973.
Horman, 31, was working as a screenwriter for state-run Chile Films when military rebel forces led by Gen. Augusto Pinochet attacked the presidential palace La Moneda. Allende committed suicide that day rather than surrender.

Wish Castro would give an AK to Chavez...
What an unfortunate choice for him: Lying for a living, to help a Communist government confiscate people's property and imprison them. If you spy for the bad guys, sometimes you get shot.
This won’t go anywhere.
With all the recent commie student protests in Santiago, the old communist Allende supporters seem to think they have regained power.
I have not met one Chilean who thinks Pinochet did anything unnecessary in the important efforts to clean out the USSR supported communists with Allende.
Maybe we need a Pinochet here to clean out our anti-freedom subversives.
Maybe.
I was gonna say... a Navy captain would have been in his mid-forties, minumum. 38 years on Capt. Ray Davis would be pretty darned old.
His supposed remains were DNA tested and turned up negative.
No one knows where Horman is and what actually happened to him.
It cannot even be conclusively proven that he is dead.
The portrayal of Horman in Missing by hyperleftist director Costa-Gavras is very carefully crafted, with little fact in it.
Maybe the liberals are thinking the same thing? Better watch out.
I don’t see extradition happening. In the first place, Captain Davis is ill, terminally ill. In the second place, these kind of cases can take years to resolve. I applaud Mrs. Davis refusing to tell what facility Captain Davis is living in. The family doesn’t need to have the poor man tormented.
Oh, I am cerain the liberals are thinking the same thing. Our advantage is, for the most part, conservatives are not metro-sexuals and are not afraid of guns or afraid to use guns to protect the Constitution.
Chile still does not have our 2nd Amendment advantage.
In addition, the Chilean 'prosecutor' has no evidence of Davis' direct involvement, just bull---- allegations that someone at the US embassy gave Pinochet's intelligence services a list of American 'subversives' living in Chile, as if Pinochet's guys wouldn't have already known who they were.
You can bet Holder will work to extradite him, while actively covering up his own conspiracy in the gun walking project.
Chile is now able to afford its elected Left, which is free; all thanks to Pinochet. 3,000 Marxist scumbags were "disappeared" during his reign. Boo-frickin'-Hoo!
BTW, Chile's Social Security Program is worthy of serious study as a new model for our own. Too bad about Herman and the Axelrod Bimbos from Left field. He understood it. I hope he is at least in the next cabinet!
+1
The aim of the Chilean Left and their pals in the US is to make Chile and the US the same sort of failed socialist state. We are the new Argentina!
Yeah but you’re advocating a Pinochet-style military takeover. What makes you so sure that the general taking over isn’t a Democrat?
He doesn't have it now, so they can try to get him back there. Now, what his status then would do to the case if they did extradite him would, I assume, depend in Chilean law.
You can bet Holder will work to extradite him, while actively covering up his own conspiracy in the gun walking project.
No, I wouldn't count on Holder dragging his feet trying to prevent it. Fortunately any decent attorney can keep it tied up in knots until after Holder is gone.
