Deceased GFAFB airman headed for trial in possession child pornography

11-21-2007 North Dakota:

The Air Force airman found dead in his Grand Forks apartment Monday was facing a federal trial next month on child pornography charges.

A Grand Forks police report identifies the man who was found unresponsive, at 6:20 p.m. Monday at 506 N. Fourth St. as 38-year-old Mark Massucco. Federal investigators said his death apparently was self-inflicted, a federal prosecutor told the Herald.

After police responded to a medical assist call and determined Massucco was dead, the Air Force quickly took over the investigation, police said. Air Force officials have not identified Massucco, citing notification of relatives.

But according to court documents, Massucco was indicted June 6 in federal court on two counts of receiving of materials involving the sexual exploitation of minors and one count of possessing materials involving the sexual exploitation of minors.

Wednesday, federal officials filed a motion to dismiss all charges. Massucco was scheduled to go to trial on the charges in Fargo on Dec. 11.
