Shocking Information about Tina White's Relationship with the Lead Investigating Detective

The lead investigating detective on the case, and Ted's wife are having an affair as soon as 13 days following Ted's arrest, if not before.

The lead investigating detective admits in trial that he feels an attraction for Ted's wife during the investigation, and he stays on the case any way

The lead investigating detective fails to interview any witness unless that witness is sent to him by Ted's wife, who never mentions at least 10 witnesses who were in the home on the weekend of March 8, which Ted's daughter claimed was the last occasion on which she was allegedly molested.

The detective and Mrs. White continue the affair by sneaking around and hiding the affair from his police department and they give him the alias "Curt", so the Chief will not discover he is violating a direct order.

Mrs. White stands to gain as much as $500,000 in stock as a result of the divorce and imprisonment of her husband Ted White

Shocking Information about the Timeline of Adoption

Ted married Tina McKenna in 1991. This was Tina's third marriage and Ted's first marriage. Tina brought 2 small children to the marriage. Ted White adopted the children January 25, 1996. According to the White's nanny at the time, the family was overjoyed about the adoption, including Ted's daughter, who testified that she was very happy about becoming Ted's daughter.

The children's natural father was not a wealthy man and an injury in the mid 1990's impaired his earning power. Mrs. White filed court actions to claiming her ex husband was a violent man and that he beat her. After his death in 2000, she admitted in deposition that he was never violent to her, or her children.

Ted's earning power over the course of 4 years had taken them from a rented house to a $300,000 home on a golf course. Tina reported to her friend that she wanted Ted to adopt the children. The friend asked "why"? Mrs. White told her that in the event she ever divorced Ted he she could pursue child support from him for all three children.

Mrs. White sought the termination of parental rights from her second husband in 1995. She wanted Ted to adopt the children. In the adoption proceedings, she praised Ted's moral character and stated under oath it would be in the best interests of her daughter if Ted would adopt her.

In Ted's trial, she claimed that he was abusive and a compulsive gambler during this time.

In the initial investigation of the molestation accusations a petition for divorce was pending, and Mrs. White never told investigating officers that the divorce was pending.

The accusations from the start claimed that the abuse began in the summer of 1995 when Ted's stepdaughter turned ten years old. The most serious and traumatic act of molestation, an alleged rape, was claimed to have occurred in the late summer of 1995, months before the adoption.

In 1999, while under oath, Mrs. White led the prosecutors to believe Ted had adopted the children when her daughter was only 7 years old or within a year of the marriage in 1992 or 1993.

Based on these representations, the prosecutors told the first jury that this was the story of a happy family for several years, so happy in fact that Mrs. White wanted her new husband, Ted White, to adopt her children. However, according to the official documentation the adoption happened after the stepdaughter was claiming to be sexually abused by Ted White. Tina White wanted the jury to believe that the allegations of sexual abuse happened to make the story of sexual abuse more believable.  The stepdaughter was 10 and a half when this court date occurred, not 7 as her mother had testified in 1999.

The truth is the children were assigned a guardian ad litem and had a lawyer to work on the adoption of the children. The system is designed to protect children and make sure the adoption is in the best interest of the children. The children and their parents went to court January 25, 1996 so the Court could approve the adoption.

The White's nanny recalled the festive atmosphere the night of January 25, 1996 after the adoption was final. Everyone, without exception, was joyful about this event. The stepdaughter, her brother and Mrs. White all agreed they were happy when Ted adopted the children in 1996 when the stepdaughter was ten and a half years old.

NOTE: When the defense sought the adoption file from juvenile court Mrs. White (now Tina McKinley) fought the release of the adoption file which would prove beyond any doubt the relevant dates of the adoption of her children by Ted White.
