Wacha has been employed with the Fairfax County, Virginia, EMS for approximately one and a half years. She has also served as a volunteer firefighter with the Kensington, Maryland Fire Department for one and a half years and as a firefighter in Tolland, Connecticut, for two to three years.

In the course of her career, Wacha has responded to only one suicide victim scene, that being the death scene of Vincent Foster, Jr.

According to Wacha, the Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for the Fairfax County Department of Fire and Rescue is that all press inquiries will be forwarded to the PIO.

dispatched to her unit. Upon arrival at Fort Marcy Park the scene for Foster's death, Wacha recalls her unit, Engine 1 and its personnel, plus a second team of medical personnel, split up to search for the body. Wacha's search team included Ralph Pisani, Richard Arthur and James Iacone. Pisani served as the driver, Iacone was the officer in charge of the unit and Wacha was in back of the unit on top of the ladder apparatus. The medic unit accompanying Wacha's engine unit was staffed by George Gonzalez who was the officer in charge, Todd Hall, the driver, and Richard Arthur who rode in the back of the medic unit.. Gonzalez and Hall comprised the other search team. Wacha was aware that a truck crew and an ambulance crew went back to the death site after her unit's departure to retrieve the victim's body.

Upon entering Fort Marcy Park, Wacha recalls seeing one car in the parking area with its hazard lights on. She remembers that the engine was running, noting the car was unoccupied. There was also a second vehicle bearing Arkansas license plates that was parked closest to the park entrance. Contained in that vehicle was a suit jacket. There was also a third car in the lot, no details were recalled. Upon entering the parking area,

the medical unit was behind the vehicle to which Wacha was assigned.

The search at the death site for Foster's body lasted approximately 10 minutes. Wacha's team may have travelled a distance of one-quarter to one-half mile.

According to Wacha, the medical team located Foster's body. Upon receiving a radio message from the other search group, Wacha's team headed over to Foster's body. After arriving at the site of the body, members of the team visually inspected Foster. There was one U.S. Park Police Officer at the scene upon the arrival of Wacha's team. After the visual inspection of Foster's body, Wacha and the members of her team went back to the engine. It was established during the inspection of Foster's body that the victim was deceased. One indicator of the victim's

status included flies on the body, giving it the appearance that Foster had been lying there for a period of time. Wacha thought

blood may have been on the victim's mouth as well as on his shirt. She could not recall the volume.

Wacha returned to the parking area and saw a vehicle with Arkansas license plates. Several jokes were made regarding the Clinton Administration and it was further alluded to that the victim was someone who had not gotten a job in the

administration. The vehicle with the Arkansas license plates was described to be "a business kind of car". Wacha further : described the car to have been an older model Subaru.

Upon visual inspection of the death scene, Wacha

recalls a gun being in Foster's right hand. The thinking among EMS personnel on scene was that Foster's death appeared to be a suicide. Wacha did not recall hearing U.S. Park Police personnel make any assessment regarding the death of Foster. Wacha was aware that Fairfax County Fire and Rescue SOP regarding emergency medical care, requires that the victim's vital signs would be checked. Results of the vital signs check would factor into the determination as to whether or not the victim should receive resuscitation efforts. Foster was dressed in a white or light blue shirt and dark colored trousers.

Wacha did not recall any substantive discussion among her co-workers regarding Park Police handling of the Foster death scene. She had not recalled any complaints among her co-workers regarding the handling of the death scene.
