Okay now, I remind everyone that the Col was DEFENDING Debra Tate from the human detritus known as OOGLER over at the Yahoo KTS Message Boards when this all started. I felt bad for the woman.
Since then I have been innundated with emails about what a piece of work she apparently is. The Debra Haters REALLY hate on her. Like wowsa.
NOW the Col starts to get information as to why.
Let's start. The Col is trying to leave town this weekend on a project that will take him away from the sunshine for 4 months. But he still had time to play Columbo and follow up a lead. This is not a news blog, but I did some reporting anyway.
I went to Holy Cross Cemetary. Sharon, her baby, her mother and her sister are buried there clear as day. But no dad. Why would my fellow Col NOT be buried in the family plot? Just to make sure I spoke with Elena at the front office. No record of a Paul Tate in the whole cemetary. There's a Paul Cook from May 05 but no Paul Tate.
I drove back past Sony and stopped at the Wendy's for breakfast. My source was correct. Debra, as sole next of kin, did not bury her father with the rest of his family. His grandchildren do not know where he is buried. Did she do it because he left everything to Patti's children so she couldn't sell it (more on that later) as my source claims? Did she do it to be a cheapass? Where is the old geezer?
NOW maybe this is not news to any of you and I am lame and this was discussed on a Debra Lovers site months ago. Or maybe this is news.
But Paige or Chris or one of the other idolizers, somebody ask them wtf. Where is Paul Tate? And why?
I hope he's not doing WEEKEND WITH THE COL films somewhere.

Maybe the Tate family chose a military cemetery out of respect for Colonel Tate being a veteran.
Lots of maybes but
1- he is not buried with his family
2- if my source is correct (and they are so far) his grandchildren do NOT know where he is
3- Debra as the only next of kin had to dispose of the body.
Where is it?
I'm asking a few people right now who might know.. I'll get back to you as soon as I find anything out
=)
Hmm, maybe he isn't buried anywhere. Maybe he was cremated and Debra has the ashes...
I'm just guessing
=)
I asked the guy at Find a Grave why he is listed at Holy Cross
He says it is an error not of his making
I asked where he is
reply was
"I am not sure. I wondered if he was possibly buried on the farm of the last living Tate daughter, Debra. I also heard the possibility that he might have been interred in WA state, then again, I also heard that may have been cremated. I really don't know & apparently Debra Tate does not want the information made public.
Simply put, were he @ HOLY CROSS, why no marker like those of the 3 Tate women ?"
I dunno, I'm leaning more towards him being cremated.. I believe it's a lot cheaper than a funeral.. But even still, his grandchildren should at least know where his remains are.
Debra seems to forget that Patti and her children are just as much related to Sharon as she is..
Paige has told me that Paul Tate was cremated....
Paige doesn't know who has the ashes, but she said she'd find out for me.. Chances are, Debra has them....
Oh I will still be blogging

Maybe- I do NOT believe he wanted his remains to be kept from his preciosu grandchildren who he left everything else to.
That is what I believe
I am checking the will with the Public Records people now
The issue was March 1977....
