Obit watch: January 27, 2024.

Geoffrey Deuel, actor.

Other credits include “In the Line of Duty: The F.B.I. Murders”, “The F.B.I.”, “Mission: Impossible”, “The Magician”…

…and “Mannix”. (“Eagles Sometimes Can’t Fly”, season 3, episode 1. “Chance Meeting”, season 8, episode 15.)

(Lawrence, I’m about halfway tempted to add “In the Line of Duty: The F.B.I. Murders” to the list. It is available on DVD at a reasonable price, and it seems like a lot of big names from the time are in it. My only issue, other than convincing folks to watch it, is that Ed Mireles says it isn’t completely accurate. We might want to accompany that with the “FBI Files” episode, which I think is more historically accurate.)

    Two big inaccuracies for me in “Line of Duty” – and I have a copy of the FBI training tape – was equipping the killers with a full auto Mini-14 and depicting Mireles as cowering when one BG fired a .357 at him – missing all 6.

    Mireles said he didn’t see the BG shoot at him and neither did any other agent. I’ve always thought the witness who reported seeing that actually saw Mireles final assault with his revolver.
