This morning an exclusive investigation into the team doctor of the San Francisco 49ers. Last october, kron4 broke the story about how doctor daniel garza was the target of a criminal probe, for alleged inappropriate behavior with adult interns. In addition to treating superstar athletes, garza was also a prominent researcher and associate professor at stanford university. The elite Sports Medicine physcian killed himself. After the San Mateo County sheriff investigators. Searched his home for evidence. Now kron 4 has uncovered past allegations against the doctor. Kron 4s Maureen Kelly spoke to three men who say, they were victiminzed by garza when they were teenagers. Its a story youll see only on four. 16 14 i woke up in the middle of his quote unquote experiments and he was just sort of you know fondling me and kind of playing with himself thats the voice of a man who says he was drugged and molested by doctor daniel garza nearly 20 years ago, and hes not the only one whos accusing the doctor of sexual abuse. 15 for him to do what he did, just doesnt even seem human. In all i spoke to three victims, none of whom wanted to appear on camera. In order to protect their privacy. Ive changed their names to peter, john and carlos. They say it started when garza was their young, influential teacher at Cathedral High School in el paso texas. Its a catholic all boys schoolserving mostly latino students coming from working class families near the west texas border town. Garzaa recent Stanford College gradwas teaching freshman science. To many, he was a trusted role model they greatly admired. 19 01 he was a phenomenal teacher. A phenomenal teacher. And he was able to paint pictures about science in just a beautiful way. Even then he was closely involved with sports. Heres a photo from the schools yearbook showing garza as coach of the schools tennis team. All of the victims i spoke to had been Young Athletes, who say they were approached by garza to participate in a Research Study involving physcially fit young men. The man im calling carlos says he was only 15 when approached by garza while at swim practice. He says more than once, garza took him into an empty classroom under the guise of taking his measurements for a study. He says garza had him pull down his pants and touched him in a way he considers sexual abuse. He never reported it. Peter and john say they became garzas targets after joining his informal afterschool Science Group. At the time, they felt like they were being given an exciting opportunity by their mentor to help them succeed. Peter now feels garza was laying a trap for them. From the very beginning. 20 20 the way he picked us, it was very strategic. All of us had very dysfunctional homes, he knew we were over achievers and wouldnt want to disappoint. He was very, very near the end of 1993 garza convinced peter and johns parents to let him take the two boys on a ski trip to new mexico as a reward for all of their hard work. While they were alone in their ski cabingarza asked them to participate in his Research Study. 14 25 he explained to us how he needed to do some research for stanford on how Young Athletes metabolic rates behave when they are in restful states versus athletic states, so he pulled out charts and everything looked very official. They say garza brought along something that he said would help them get into that restful state. A drug called halothanea powerful anestetic which when given in high enough concerntations renders one completely unconcious. They say garza told the teens to inhale from the peter volunteered. 15 57 i remember the first time i inhaled this drug i dropped the bottle, a lot of it poured out. Then you know, i was knocked out and woke up in my bed the next morning. John agreed help in the study, but was uncomfortable with the idea of being gassed by the drug. But one night during that trip john woke up to an unusal smelland opened his eyes to find garzas silolette looming above him. 03 35 he had been putting the liquid of that bottle on to a washrag from the hotel and was putting it on my face. I rolled over you know, pretending that i was still asleep and i rolled my face away from him and he went back to the other side of the bed and put it back on me i rolled back the other way, i grabbed the towel and thew it on to the floor. The next morning i woke up thinking was that a dream or what . And i see the towel on the floor. It was pretty scary. John was rattled by the experiencebut chose not to report it to authorities. 04 42 at that point my home life wasnt the greatest and he seemed to be a stable figure in my life. So, i decided that i didnt have to tell anybody, i thought that he knew what was in my best interest and that he was looking out for me. Only his best friend peter knew the truth. The victims didnt come forwarduntil it happened again. In the spring of 1994 garza took peter and john along with the rest of their Science Group to california in order to tour college campuses. It was during a visit to stanford university, that the testing began again. But this time peter says the drug wore off and he woke up to the unthinkable. 22 i actually woke up with my shirt off and his hand, in my genitalia, on my genitalia, you know, kind of caressing me and him sort of rubbing himself. Peter told john and together they decided they had to come forward. They say parents, School Officials and even the fbi were brought in. But in the end garza was not criminally charged. Tomorrow in the next installment of our exclusive investigation youll find out how garza got away with it Maureen Kelly kron4 news. More on this exclusive report at kron 4 dot com.
