Port-au-Prince, Haiti (CNN)There was no mistaking the meaning in last week's anonymous text message: Do what we say or die.

"Hey clerk, get ready for a bullet in your head, they gave you an order and you keep on doing shit," read the July 16 text, one of several death threats sent to court clerks assisting Haiti's investigation into the murder of former President Jovenel Moise, according to official complaints filed with Haitian police and seen by CNN.

They're part of a cache of Internal Justice Ministry documents obtained exclusively by CNN, which reveal previously unheard testimonies from key suspects, mysterious attempts to influence the probe, and the acute danger felt by judicial investigators as they attempt to uncover who killed the president on July 7.

Death threats are not the only thing making Haitian investigators' jobs more difficult. Multiple sources have also described to CNN a series of unusual roadblocks thrown at investigators, including difficulty in accessing crime scenes, witnesses and evidence.

The result is an investigation that has repeatedly veered from established protocol, according to both insiders and independent legal experts. The question is why?

Destin also said he and others were not immediately allowed to enter the site where Moise was attacked at around 1am. Despite his vital role in documenting the scene, the justice was barred from entering the police perimeter for hours -- a highly unusual delay that insiders say raises the specter of evidence tampering.

"Police informed me that the scene was not yet cleared to allow (me) to come to the scene to collect evidence," he told CNN. "I had to wait until 10:00am At that time, they then informed me that the police were on the scene and that we could now access the presidential residence."

According to Destin, police explained that the attackers were still nearby and posed a possible danger.

But sources say the judge and his team were made to wait just outside the president's residence -- where they would have been just as exposed to chance encounters with assassins on the run.
