A retired Las Vegas police lieutenant, Christopher Van Cleef whose name surfaced in connection with an ongoing FBI and police probe into possible corruption involving homeowners associations was found dead of an apparent suicide in Henderson on Tuesday.  Three former Las Vegas Police officers, including Christopher Van Cleef and 1 current Las Vegas Police Officer were named in the warrant pertaining to the Homeowners association investiation.

The FBI is currently investigating whether individuals were placed on Homeowner Associations boards in order to direct business to certain businesses regarding construction defect claims.  Nine locations around the Las Vegas Valley were raided including the head quarters for Silver Lining Construction as investigators looked for documentation, notes and any correspondence that related to their investigation.

The investigation is still on going.
