A Little Background

I put this list together to provide background for my attorney. This is a brief history of some of the events over the last five years with a focus on direct involvement of the Machine. For example, the incident in which I discovered Patricia beating on Glen in November of 2001, while critical to our story, is not listed here as there was no direct involvement of the Machine.

 

  1. Approx March of 2002 --Filed a report with CYFD alleging that I was ignoring the children’s medical needs. I never heard from CYFD. They talked to Dr. Gross, our family physician for the previous decade, and stopped the investigation
  2. May of 2002 – Filed charges against Glen alleging he had beaten his sister. CYFD investigated and dismissed the charges. Patricia claimed in email that Lovelace and Mary Carroll, the child’s therapist she selected, told her to file the charges. This is when I activated the GAL, John Romero (now a district judge) to protect the children.
  3. Filed the first temporary restraining order against me after I showed up at a Doctor’s appointment for Glen where Dr. Kurtz was seeing Glen without my knowledge and thus without legal ability and for ‘depression’.  Patricia claimed Dr. Kurtz told her to file the restraining order.

Commissioner Loretta Lopez ruled for Patricia to the surprise of everyone except Patricia. Yes, this is the same Loretta Lopez that was going through a divorce worse then ours. Judge Jewell threw out the restraining order a couple of weeks later in the only hearing where the audio record vanished (out of 20 or 30 hearings) but the order did not. Later, on January 9, 2004 Judge Jewell entered an order into the DV case positively stating that I had never been found to have committed an act of domestic violence.

  1. Beginning about this time Patricia contacted the police on a regular basis alleging abuse by me and beginning in September 2002 allegations against Glen. In November of 2002 a member of the APD stalking team told me they had a file that was inches thick on me. There were approximately a dozen police reports filed, but the majority of time the police just listened to her and left.
  2. In August of 2002 the GAL moved our oldest child out of his mother’s home and in with me. A few weeks later the GAL suspended all visitation between Patricia and Glen.
  3. After Patricia canceled Montie’s 6th birthday party out of anger at Glen, the GAL, and myself – I responded by taking the kids to Disneyland in September to celebrate Montie’s birthday with the knowledge of the GAL. Patricia responded by trying to file kidnapping charges with the FBI against the GAL and myself (according to the GAL).
  4. Patricia then took Glen’s dog to Animal Control and had them put him down (the city stopped doing this a few months later). Montie and Jessica witnessed this. Patricia took a lot of heat from the lawyers (GAL and Judge).
  5. Patricia decides to charge Glen with cruelty to animals to explain why she had Glen’s dog put down. She does not attend the JPO hearing because she says she can not legally do so if I am there, but she sends a letter alleging various acts of violence on both Glen and my part. The GAL testifies on Glen behalf and the late Sid Ashmore rules in favor of Glen.
  6. Patricia went back to DV Court alleging I had violated the original DV order which no longer existed. Lopez threw out the complaint based on this. During the hearing, Patricia’s attorney made constant reference to ex parte communication and planning between Commissioner Lopez and Patricia. This reference to ex parte communication went to such an extent that Commissioner Lopez took the time to deny any communication with Patricia.
  7. The Court’s 706 expert, Dr. Zieman conducted and completed his first custody evaluation which included MMPI testing of Patricia, myself, Glen, and Patricia’s fiancé Kyle Self.  Dr. Zieman’s report included admission by Patricia of an incident where she physically attacked me while I was driving a freeway in California with the children in the vehicle. Dr. Zieman concluded there was no evidence of Domestic Violence on my part (I guess Patricia’s violence was assumed or ignored) but it was clear I was not a nice guy. He recommend the majority of custody decisions rest with me, that I have Glen 100% of the time and the other two most of the time on a 9/5 schedule. This meant Patricia would have to pay child support to me.
  8. The recommendations, adopted by the Court in a Nov 15, 2002 order were never implemented. In early December Patricia went back to CYFD and alleged that I was neglecting Montie’s health. There is some indication that she may have poisoned Montie to accomplish this. Her lawyer and others report her anger over the idea of having to pay me child support although I have never made an attempt to collect it.
  9. When this did not work, a bruise appeared on Montie. Patricia went back to CYFD alleging that I had physically abused Montie. CYFD scheduled an interview with Montie at their office.

Patricia contacted the GAL and asked for a “parental rights termination” form. When he declined to provide one, she obtained or manufactured one. Patricia and her new husband signed the form in front of Montie and Jessica. Patricia told them that if Montie did not tell CYFD that I hit him she would take them to the nearest police station, drop them and the form off, -- never see her children again.

Strangely enough, Patricia allowed Jessica to go out with us that evening and Jessica told us about the plan the moment she got in the car. I had Jessica phone the GAL and leave a voice mail message. The GAL contacted both me and CYFD the next morning.

When Patricia, Kyle and the children showed up for the interview, CYFD interviewed Montie and felt that Jessica’s story was confirmed. CYFD presented Patricia with a letter stating that they did not feel the children were safe with her and the children went home with me. They have not spent a night with their mother since.

  1. Patricia files a complaint with the Board of Accountancy alleging various illegal acts on my part.
  2. Patricia files her third petition in DV Court. She petitions and receives a temporary order of protection that orders the children back into her physical custody despite the fact that CYFD removed the children from her a few days earlier.

This is heard by Commissioner Sheppard on January 14, 2003. He dismisses the complaint and recommends to Judge Jewell that Patricia be prohibited from filing any further complaints without counsel. Judge Jewell enters this order on the same day.

  1. Judge Jewell’s hearing the next day awards temporary full custody to me and Patricia is to receive supervised visitation only. Further Patricia is ordered to undergo a neuropsychiatric exam. Patricia does not attend this hearing and her appearance is waved by Judge Jewell as she is represented by counsel.
  2. It is during this period I discover Patricia’s website www.Determined2Survive.com . The website is now owned by someone else but was originally registered to Patricia’s husband Kyle Self. I have a copy of the registration and copies of the website pages. On the website Patricia makes various allegation of abuse against both Glen and I. She takes donations to include American Express, Visa, and MasterCard. In subsequent email, Patricia acknowledges the site but says a ‘friend’ put it up without her knowledge.
  3. Things ‘slow’ down for a couple of months between January and May 2003. During the slow period –
    1. Patricia refuses to visit with the children more then one-half hour under supervised visitation. Jessica reports that her mother squeezed her neck during one visit but APN concludes this did not occur. I conclude it did occur and it was not unreasonable for the supervisor to miss it (Jessica was sitting on Patricia’s lap and Patricia hand on Jessica neck was covered by Jessica’s hair).

                                                              i.      APN reports several attempt by Patricia to talk to the children where APN can not hear.

    1. I am monitoring Patricia’s telephone conversations with the children as the best plan the GAL and I can come up with to insure Patricia is appropriate with the children.  Patricia attempts to convince Montie that the paper did not mean what he thinks it did (termination rights).
    2. Police reports about me ‘stalking’ Patricia. Patricia turns Glen into the police claiming she has a court order that prohibits him from babysitting.
    3. Patricia files a complaint against the GAL with the Bar.
    4. I discover Patricia was on Welfare and Medicaid despite me providing insurance, making the house payment, making the car payment, providing $1100 a month in cash, whatever she was making off the website and her other ads, and her employment income. She went on food stamps in January 2003 for $306 without reporting that the children no longer lived with her as of the previous month.
    5. Patricia makes a suicide attempt or gesture, calling the children for the ‘last time’. We contact the police and they discover Patricia on a cliff while BJ Kiel from Patricia’s childhood is talking to Patricia on the phone.
  1. In May of 2003, John Romero is appointed to the bench. The lawyers and Zieman want a new GAL but I refuse. I also push for Zieman to complete his 2nd evaluation early before John gets on the bench.

Zieman recommends the majority of custody decisions to reside with me and Patricia to have two hours of supervised visitation a week to eventually build to seven hour of partially supervised visitation.

  1. Patricia makes another suicide attempt/gesture by gassing herself in the garage. When the police arrive the vehicle is turned off. Patricia later claims that a friend told her that car emissions were no longer poisonous and she was listening to the radio.
  2. Patricia makes no effort to contact or see the children until I bring it up at a June hearing. She claims that she misread the order and thought the children were suppose to contact her even if they did not have her phone number. Judge Jewell calls a recess while Patricia talks to Jessica and Montie on a cell phone I left with Jessica in hopes of doing this.

After this, Patricia makes regular contact and visitation with the children up to the night of her arrest.

  1. On my motion, the Court agrees to stop all direct communication (email) between Patricia and I after I receive a series of threatening emails from someone claiming to be a friend of Patricia’s. Patricia admits in Court the emails are from her. I set up a voice mail box where we can hear weekly reports from each other on the children in accordance with Zieman’s parenting plan. I make my reports but Patricia stops after a while. I have no problem with this as the whole thing, at least for her part, seems silly.
  2. Patricia files bankruptcy for a period covering our marriage (her new husband had filed bankruptcy a couple of years earlier) and tells the trustee that I had hiding millions of dollars in community assets. The trustee hounds me until Patricia’s arrest.
  3. I had convinced Zieman to allow Glen and Patricia to go into joint counseling in an attempt to work on their relationship. Patricia uses the first appointment in an attempt to ambush Glen and tells the therapist that Judge Jewell has requested a secret report that is only to go to Patricia and Judge Jewell. When the therapist tells me about this and I tell her I am going to subpoena the therapist. She decides to not file the report.
  4. Patricia decides that APN, the visitation center, is the problem and actually tries to call me at the office to talk about it. She admits to this in a hearing and to this violation of the domestic mutual restraining order.
  5. In November of 2003, Patricia talks Judge Jewell into a third custody evaluation, I file an order objecting and refuse to cooperate. The Court Clinic staff drag me in front of Judge Jewell. After about a half hour, Judge Jewell agrees to drop the matter, threatens Patricia with jail for not paying child support, and tells me I should file a motion to that effect. I tell Judge Jewell that I do not want to tell the children their mother is in jail.
  6. Patricia’s relationship with the children continued to show improvement. In January, through APN, we decided she could attend children’s events unsupervised as long as she stayed some distance from me.

On January 31, 2004 Patricia attended a basketball game of Jessica’s with her husband Kyle. I was there with Montie, Glen, my mother, and the woman I was dating at the time, Michelle.

According to Patricia’s interview with the sheriff’s department, She placed the ad on the Internet seeking a hit man that night.

 

  1.  On February 6, 2004. Patricia received a call from Sgt. Greg Marcantel, a Bernalillo County Sheriff’s Deputy posing as a hit man named ‘Rudy”. The audio of this telephone conversation was played for the grand jury. Patricia tells ‘Rudy’ that she does not want him to kill her (as advertised) but to kill her ex-husband because he is making her sick and the doctors have told her that she will die if she does not reduce the stress he causes.
  2. That night she meets with ‘Rudy’ and engages his services to kill me. They plan for the murder to take place in the family home and eight times he brings up the presence of the children and she dismisses it. A ninth time, she brings it up. At best, the children would discover my murdered body. At worse, the hit man would kill the children if they discovered him.
  3. She is taken into custody and tells the deputies that there is a second hit man on the way from Oklahoma.
  4. She is interviewed for almost an hour as to her reasons for wanting me dead. All of the incidents she brings up are over a year old – the allegedly driving by the home on Tivoli (which she moved out of in Nov 2002). Me breaking into Tivoli after she moved out (the Jan 03 DV hearing).
  5. Patricia files a complaint alleging she was sexually assaulted by a guard at BCDC. Once she is informed that there are surveillance cameras in the infirmary where she alleges the assault occurred, she refuses to cooperate with the investigation or to provide a written statement. One of the doctors reports that Patricia ‘is a manipulator and not mentally ill as she was leading”.
  6. Patricia’s second husband files a DV petition against Patricia after her arrest and represents the fact surrounding Patricia’s arrest as applying to him. They end up with mutual agreed orders.
  7. Patricia pleads guilty in September of 04. She is sent to Grants for an evaluation. Beginning in October of 04, we receive hang-up calls from what appears to be the prison in Grants. They average as many as three a night and can be late into the evening. They occur both at home and the office. I file a police report with APD. It is only when I threaten to subpoena the parties involved to appear before Judge Jewell the calls stop.

Coincidently, Patricia’s new in-laws claim Patricia is calling and hanging up on them during the same time period. They file a DV petition and a hearing is held in Dec of 04 in which Patricia is found to have committed an act of DV against them.

  1. Patricia is sentenced in March of 2005. She is hospitalized a few days later for another suicide attempt/gesture (apple seeds).
  2. Patricia files a motion in October of 2005 requesting visitation with the children. Eventually, Judge Jewell writes a letter and tells Patricia that she can file after she gets out and there will be another custody evaluation.
  3. In November of 2005, Kyle Self introduced me to Patricia’s imaginary father Joe Sanders at Kyle and Patricia’s divorce hearing. Mr. Sander’s began calling me at the house and office fronting himself as another hit man and stating that if Patricia did not see the children, he would as their actual grandfather with visitation rights.

I recorded most of two conversations with Mr. Sanders and file a DV petition against him and Patricia. I won a restraining order against him but was unable to convince Sheppard that Patricia was part of it.

  1.  In December of 2005 I appear at Patricia’s first parole hearing and object to her early release, especially to the home of Mr. Sanders against who I had just gotten a finding of domestic violence against. Despite repeated assertions that the Parole Board has no authority, they decide not to release Patricia.
  2. In April of 2006, Patricia’s mother contacts us and informs us Patricia is hospitalized for yet another suicide attempt.
  3. In May of 2006, I appear again at a parole hearing. Patricia is placed on in-house parole. Tim Kline accuses me of violating federal law for discussing Patricia’s suicide attempts while in prison. Neither he nor Patricia deny the attempts. Patricia denies that I can know about them and the parole board wants to know how I found out (My thoughts before the Parole Hearing, Suicide is a Social Event, Inner Hell.)
  4. Patricia writes a letter to one of our children in which she notes that she ‘has learned how to whack people in prison’.
  5. In March or April of 2007, I am informed of Patricia’s upcoming release and the plans by the DOC through a ‘confidential legal proceeding’ to get Patricia to enter at least a thirty day program in northern New Mexico. I am all but told this in Las Vegas. Patricia enters the program on April 27th and is released May 15th. She is returned to Albuquerque on May 16th. I assume the thirty days were cut short by Patricia checking herself out.
  6. On June 18th Patricia files a DV petition alleging my abuse. She claims a third party is telling her that I am calling. The initial hearing is scheduled for July 2nd which neither Patricia or I attend.  I do not attend because I have not been served, Patricia does not attend because she is scared of me and is concerned that attending will violate her no contact order. The hearing is rescheduled for July 17, 2004.

I attend but Patricia does not and the case is dismissed. However, I see Joe Sanders in the hallway and this is later confirmed by Patricia’s attorney.
