LAS VEGAS- Tuesday brought a major development on the FBI probe into alleged corruption and collusion at several valley homeowners' associations. Tuesday morning, Henderson Police found a body on the railroad tracks between Warm Springs and Windmill. The man had died from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head. His name is Christopher Van Cleef, a retired Metro cop whose name recently surfaced in connection with a joint FBI and police investigation of public corruption. It involves local homeowners associations, construction defect contractors and lawyers. Last week, law enforcement raided the offices of Silver Lining Construction, the firm at the center of the corruption probe. Van Cleef was one of three former Metro cops who are potential targets in the ongoing investigation. The allegations include HOA Board Elections being rigged to bring in homeowners who would ensure Silver Lining Construction got lucrative construction defect contracts.
