You've been in my thoughts today C Ann............I hope that you'll get all the answers you're looking for very soon.

 

[DocRafiki]

I've been keeping up with all of your updates but haven't had much to add. Just wanted to say I'm glad you're making such progress. You've done a LOT in the past few days.

 

[marlasmom]

[2bemarried]

Continued prayers for you and your family. You're a very strong woman to be able to handle all that you have in the past week.

Something just doesn't sound right and I agree, I would call the local PD andfill them in on whats going on. It just doesn't seem right that 2 years after this train accident, he emails you to tell you about your sister. He then cuts and paste's an article and emails it to you and now he sends you pictures. It sounds like he is up to something and I would not trust him. Especially if he finds out you are looking into this matter and have a reporter looking into it. If you believe he is capable of having something to do with your sister's death, you need to make sure you protect yourself as well. Please contact your local PD and let them know whats going on. If he was in a mental institution himself, he may not be stable now.

 

[s&k'smom]

Oh CAnn I don't know what to say. I'm sitting here stunned with what you are going through. I would contact an attorney and protect yourself. This guy is nuts and you need to protect yourself and family. God bless you for your devotion to your sister. I am sending your positive thoughts and prayers.

 

[MerryPoppins]

I agree that this guy sounds nuts. I wish you'd at least consider talking to the local police. Keep us informed.

C.Ann,
I just read your initial post from start to finish. I can't believe what you are enduring at this time. I am so sorry to hear about your loss and about the horrible way you had to find out.
This man clearly has issues!! The info he is providing sounds very shady!

I'm so glad that you are starting to piece things together and I hope that you will get all the information you need in order to start dealing with the death of your sister.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Carol Ann, I pray you will find, peace, closure and swift justice. You have been through alot, stand strong. Prayers and pixie dust.

I also had to read my sisters autopsy report. It was sickening but had to be done. You will find strenghth from God to do this.

I can't agree with the other posters enough. Please protect yourself. I also had a friend who is still being stalked by her abuser. He was driving past my house, thinking I was hiding her etc.
Please keep us informed.

C.Ann, I'm sorry to hear about all of this! Please keep us posted and I will keep you in my prayers. God Bless!

{{{{{HUGS}}}}} Stand strong my dear! What is this monster up to??

As many of the other posters have said, please please talk to some local authorities to make sure you and your family are protected. It is very scary knowing that he knows your address. Is "he" still in Battle Creek (from the picture envelope postmark)? I understand if you can't/don't want to disclose this info...........living so close to BC, I am constantly thinking of you and what this monster has put your family thru. This guy is the one that is "mentally unstable", and sounds as if the right (or wrong - depends on how you look at it!) button is pushed, he may break.

STAY SAFE!

You remain in my thoughts and prayers.

Just got in from work and found I had another email from the reporter - bless his soul..

He's sending me an actual copy of the article that his newspaper ran on November 8th (not the alleged "cut & paste" article of the 7th) and was also able to provide me with the names and telephone numbers of the Medical Examiner for the county in which she died as well as the Investigator that works out of the ME's office.. I don't imagine anyone will be available to talk to me tomorrow - with it being a holiday - but I'll try on Friday - just in case someone is there..

He's continuing to dig - but is trying to keep it very low profile since learning that "he" does in fact have a member of his family on the Battle Creek PD.. He found it rather interesting that the first time I called the PD out there they couldn't "find" anything and sent me on a wild goose chase to the Springfield PD.. Yet when I called back - and got someone different on the phone - she just typed the name into the computer and BINGO - there it was...

Once I receive the police report and the death certificate, I'll contact our local PD if I still have any suspicions.. As it stands now, I really have nothing to give them that would look like anything more than a distraught family member who can't accept the fact that her long-lost sister committed suicide.. Although the emails are filled with contradictory statements, they're worded in a "sugar-wouldn't-melt-in-his-mouth" manner that makes him "appear" totally sincere.. Come to think of it, I just recalled a conversation I had with my sister not long after she married him in which she said, "He's the best salesman in the world.. He could sell anyone - anything - for any price - and they would be thrilled to have gotten it - even if they paid ten times what it was worth..." Too bad he sold himself to her..

Meanwhile, my older sister (the one out in the southwest) seems to recall receiving something from my nieces school a few years back - when they were having a magazine drive - and she's tearing through boxes like crazy trying to find it.. We don't know if she would still be in the same school district, but it would be a start..

Oddly enough, I'm not afraid of this slime ball.. I don't care that he has my address - don't care that he has my phone number - and quite frankly, I would love it if he were to show up on my doorstep.. While my sister was very meek and mild mannered (she had once considered becoming a nun and spent 8 years in a convent before deciding at the very last minute not to take her final vows and instead went into the military and became a nurse), it's not a trait that runs in the family.. Of course he doesn't realize that because we're all playing along with his little game.. Sweet as can be - and so very grateful for every smidgen of information.. (Yeah - right!)

The only thing I'm still stumped on is his "angle".. There's no estate to be had - no money to be had - so I just don't get it.. However, I do think there may have been money involved with her death (lawsuits against the hospital, doctor, the railroad, etc.) and that would have been an excellent reason for him to withold information from us until now.. But I wonder why he even bothered at all????

That's something that may take months - or years - to figure out..

Good Luck, C.Ann. My thoughts have/are with you! Thanks for keeping us updated.

C. Ann, omg, I'm just now reading all this--I'm so sorry!

I don't know if he has an ulterior motive now, but sometimes people do these things for no reason at all. Just to hurt someone or get off on it. My grandfather did something similar to my mom a few years ago. They're estranged because he's a nut. (Seriously, like he moves relatives' graves to different cemeteries so no one knows where they are, stuff like that) He made sure my mom didn't find out when my great-grandmother died, her favorite grandparent, one she was very close to. Then he sent her a Christmas card that year reminiscing about when she was alive. She was devastated, especially to find out that way.

Have you found out yet if they were divorced? Can something like that be found through a legal search site? I'll have to find out and maybe I can get one run at home if you pm me details.

 

[msdznyduck]

Just more {{HUGGS}} to you and yours

 

[kbeverina]

C.Ann, my husband just tried the databases he can access from home and Michigan doesn't make divorce records available on-line in those databases. Other states do, though, in case you find out it may have been in another state. Also, there are people you can hire to do a "docket search"--give them a timeframe and they'll go through the dockets and find the information. Hopefully this reporter can find out more for you, too.

 

[annemariec]

C. Ann, I've been keeping up with your posts. I'm sorry to hear about your sister and the suspicious circumstances. I'm glad you have an investigative reporter. You are doing a great job unraveling things.

I'm sure you thought of this, but is there any way to find out if he had taken out an insurance policy on your sister prior to her death?

Be careful,
Annemarie
