Reporters at LA Times & CA-Post use priority investigative work of PI as their own in national news story over oil wells and cancer Ladera Ranch CA

-

Reporters at LA Times Clara Harter and CA-Post Zain Khan use priority independent investigative work of private detective, me, as their own, uncredited in breaking national news story about oil wells and cancer in Ladera Ranch CA on Sunday August 30th, 2026 that was first published by me on July 25, 2026. The LA Times and CA-Post reporters used the exact wording, phrases and location of the oil wells directly from my publication and in most cases without even changing up things!

This scenario describes a classic conflict over intellectual property, journalistic ethics, and the exploitation of a private investigator's (PI) work by the media. When reporters publish a national news story about oil wells linked to cancer using a detective's uncredited findings, it triggers several legal, ethical, and professional dynamics. National newsrooms are under immense pressure to break major corporate scandals (like an oil-and-cancer link) first. Attributing the work to a private entity can weaken their claim to an "exclusive" which they both did, LA Times and CA-Post.



Plagiarism of Effort: Major journalistic codes of conduct (like the Society of Professional Journalists) strictly require giving credit to sources and acknowledging who broke the groundwork. Taking a PI’s independent investigative dossier and framing it as "our own months-long investigation" is a breach of public trust.

Plagiarism and unauthorized content scraping have become critical issues in 2026 journalism, largely driven by pressure for digital productivity and the widespread misuse of generative AI tools. High-profile incidents have repeatedly exposed legacy reporters and digital networks lifting content wholesale without attribution. Arash Markazi (2020): The LA Times newspaper investigated its own sports columnist, Arash Markazi, following complaints from staff regarding ethical breaches, misrepresentation, and plagiarism, which resulted in his resignation.

UPDATED; This so called re-abondonment of the decades old oil well at/under Poets Park on July 19, 2001 is bogus.  Paul Frost engineer and rep for DOGGR was at the Poets Park Ladera Ranch CA job site from 9:30 am to 10:30 am on Thursday July 19, 2001. Paul Frost called DOGGR home office in Sacramento CA at 10:30 am to get an ok to close the well by plugging the well from 351 feet up to the surface, as they could not get past an obstruction at 351', leaving the other 8,014 feet to the bottom open to the elements.    Story behind cancer cluster in Ladera Ranch CA appears to link to old oil wells found underground and possible benzene vapors in the sewer system, any usable drinking water has to be piped in. There does not appear to be a link from the old oil wells underground to the Ladera Ranch drinking water, they are totally separate. The drinking water for Ladera Ranch is stored in underground concrete lined reservoirs. There is no major usable drinking-water aquifer di...

I first posted articles about the two very old oil wells I found in a search underground in Ladera Ranch CA on July 25th 2026 . In my continuing investigation, I have recently found that the supposed emergency plugging of the Exxon Oil well under/near Poets Park in July 2001 by DMB Ladera LLC was forged. Exxon oil well under/near Poets Park Ladera Ranch was improperly plugged in July 2001 by DMB Ladera LLC, a rep forged the report, he used old plugged depths of 1305' and 593' from 1962 closing of the Exxon oil well in their new July 2001 report and sent it to the California Division of Oil & Gas for approval.  Story behind cancer cluster in Ladera Ranch CA appears to link to old oil wells found underground and possible benzene vapors in the sewer system, any usable drinking water has to be piped in. There does not appear to be a link from the old oil wells underground to the Ladera Ranch drinking water, they are totally separate. The drinking water for Ladera Ranch is stor...

Ladera Ranch CA Poets Park Playground Built Over 65-Year-Old Exxon Mobil Oil Well That Was Short Plugged in July 2001 During DMB Ladera Re-Abandonment, They Knew.  Oil wells really never die, though, Poets Park Ladera Ranch CA is a hell of a place to build a kids playground next to a 65 year old oil well underground.  The Exxon Mobiloil well under/near Poets Park in Ladera Ranch CA was drilled down 8,365 feet in 1961 and capped in 1962, but during the July 2001 re-abandonment by DMB Ladera LLC only 351 feet was filled with mud and re-capped, WTH?  Story behind cancer cluster in Ladera Ranch CA appears to link to old oil wells found underground and possible benzene vapors in the sewer system, any usable drinking water has to be piped in.
