"That night, I got a phone call," Doucett said, recalling how a man with a voice she did not recognize told her: "If you talk to your friend Stan or the press, you won't be seeing your child anymore. "At the time, the FBI had seized a mountain of documents and other evidence from Pellicano's Sunset Strip offices that allegedly showed the infamous investigator engaged in wiretaps and illegal searches of law enforcement computers.
