PsychoBusters, The Movie - Opening Scene

Will it be a movie - or a mini-series?  Time will tell, but we are telling all.  PsychoBusters, The Movie 

The Melinda and Wendy 

The black Bentley Limo rolled up to the curb at St. James Episcopal Church after circling the block. Inside, the jump seat emptied as Lady Wendy, Viscountess Mandeville, stepped out of the car wearing a deep blue dress, banded in narrow white accents at the neckline and sleeves.

People were quietly filing into the church. Lady Wendy paused, taking in the sense of mourning.

Next out of the Bentley was her husband, Lord Alexander, Viscount Mandeville, followed by Michael Jackson.

Lady Wendy later had a hard time remembering who else she saw. From the time she had heard Princess Diana had died of her injuries she had been caught up in shock. The things which stayed with her were the vivid moments which resonated with her own sense of loss and shock.

On the way home from a friends she had seen automobiles stopped at the side of the road. One driver's head was down on her steering wheel, crying. Walking into her home, next to the 405 Freeway in Costa Mesa, a 900 square foot, two bedroom condo, with one tiny bath, she felt numb. She had never met Diana, never imagined she would – but knowing she was in the world had become a bright place on her horizon.

As the week unfolded Wendy followed every piece of news.

When Diana had married in 1981 it had seemed like a fairy tale, a girl finding true love, something Wendy had also, like so many girls, begun to dream of. As her own life had moved forward Wendy had also understood the shocks Diana had endured as her marriage unraveled into something very different.

Staying up through the night of the funeral service, tears streaming down her face, Wendy had grieved with most of the world for the People's Princess, as her husband, Lord Alex snored beside her, just as he had when she woke him to tell him Diana had died of her injuries on August 31^st.

When Alex called Wendy at work with the news there would be a memorial service in Los Angeles, several days later, had seemed like a chance for closure, to say goodby. Calling her at work was something Alex did not seem to be able to help doing. Not working himself, he was a stay-at-home mom to their son, Alex, Jr.

Wendy's job as a receptionist at a prestigious law firm provided a sanctuary from a marriage which had rapidly devolved into a nightmare. The job also keep the rent paid, when Alex actually decided to write a check. Wendy enjoyed her time at the office, where life was more normal, she had been there since she was 20 years old.

As Alex told her about the service Wendy felt slightly giddy. Marriage to an English peer had been starkly without any of the accoutrements of glamor or privilege before. They could barely afford their small condo and the bills were never really entirely paid.

To somehow be closer to the woman who had inspired her, and so many people around the world, this would be worth remembering.

Alex had called to tell her, as he often did, he was going to see a 'business associate,' who did detailing on high end cars near Beverly Hills. Wendy no longer wanted to know what kind of 'business' Alex was into anymore. Too much water under that bridge. Just a few weeks before Alex, Jr. was born in 1993 Alex had called to tell her he was, 'alright.' and the accident was not his fault. As it turned out, it was his fault. He had totaled her last car, a modest but sturdy Nissan, which she had proudly bought new. Alex used her insurance money to put a down payment on the Jaguar he wanted. She had to dig into her 401K to prevent it from being repossessed, soon after the baby was born.

But when the phone rang a couple of hours later in her word day his voice was filled with real excitement.

“Wendy! You are not going to believe this. My friend Mark at the detailing shop, has talked to Michael Jackson and he wants to come with us to the Memorial Service, and bring Elizabeth Taylor.”

The next days were chaos. Liz had not been able to make it, but Michael had met them at the detailing shop so they could drive, together, to St. John's for the service. Later, a letter of apology, and flowers arrived from Ms. Burton. Wendy, as was their practice, wrote the thank you note for Alex to send.

It was as if she had entered another world. Listening to the service, Michael Jackson sitting beside her, seemed unreal at first. Then, the words of the hymn brought back the enormity of Diana's death and the reality of her own very different life. She tried to stop the tears but they began to well up in her eyes. She felt as a shock of understanding and comfort, Michael's touch as, sensing her pain, he put his arm around her back and gave her a warm and gentle hug.

After the memorial ended, the minister leaned in, speaking briefly to Michael. They were to leave out of the rear of the church. The media had been notified of his presence.

Walking out into a blaze of cameras Wendy felt like the proverbial deer in the headlights.

Then, they were walking into the suite at the Hyatt Alex had managed to get by telling the management, yet again, he was the Ambassador for the Royal Family. Briefly, Wendy cringed. She knew well he had never met any one of them.

The next two hours were magic, as Michael played hide and seek with Little Alex as his father filmed and made comments.

From some deep place within her Wendy knew why it was important to Michael to be at the service, as it was for her. Diana represented a way out of the quagmire which was life for so many, no matter how poor, or how privileged. 

This is a story which will take you through the full spectrum of emotions. 

INTEGRITY

The meaning of the word, Integrity.

in·teg·ri·ty

n.

1. Steadfast adherence to a strict moral or ethical code.

2. The state of being unimpaired; soundness.

3. The quality or condition of being whole or undivided; completeness.

If a man engages in a scheme to violate the law, suborning the justice system to gain power and wealth, while destroying the lives of an entire family and putting some of them at risk of their lives, does he have any claim to 'integrity?' 

And what if the list of crimes the man enabled and covered for includes placing uncounted women and girls at  risk?  Paying off victims, or intimidating them into silence?  

And if such a man hides behind the cloak of power to cover his crimes, what is he then?  

Our country, today, is waking up to question those who have been entrusted with power.  One of the first questions to be asked is what can be proven of their integrity?  Have  they honored their obligation to follow the law, used power in ways which made all of us safer, more secure in our homes and lives? 

What is, instead, profits are accruing from the very means used to enslave Americans, for instance drone technology? 

According to this article, "Thomas Jefferson’s Home Town First to Ban Drone Surveillance," the movement to stop drones, used domestically, is now launched. 

But for those without INTEGRITY it is  all about the money, greed, and an unbridled lust for power and control. 

America needs individuals who use their discernment to question what they are asked to do and the integrity to say, 'no,' even when they stand to profit.  

Our institutions, government, courts, commerce, should be always in the hands of those possessing only the highest integrity. 
 

If a man guilty of such offenses then uses the word, INTEGRITY, for his main product, what does that say about him?

The use of the word could well be an attempt to cover, even possibly, to himself, the full import of his actions.

This is the question we will be examining.

April Correspondence from Last Year, the Open Letter and Comment on Craig, the Cowboy

 I'm recycling my Open Letter, published Friday, April 6, 2012, written in response to Alex's letter, received then.  I made 66 posts on this site in April 2012, mostly in response to the emails the Ducal Couple were sending or posting.  I'm not exactly sure when I figured out Craig (Incest Porn, the Cowboy of Code) was hosting Alex and Laura at posh hotels in Santa Barbara and helping them, at a minimum, trespass on my property.  

If you are new to this story, also see Craig Franklin and Green Hills Software, for the fuller story.  The movie, PsychoBusters, includes both lines of action. 

Craig's move into country music, which came up on my google, caused me to find the following bio. 

"Craig Franklin was born in Charlottesville, Virginia, in the hospital of the University of Virginia, founded by Thomas Jefferson (one of his heroes). When he was 17, Craig learned to play folk guitar and started writing songs. After graduating from Stanford University with a BS in Math, he worked on the Apollo moonshot for a couple of years and then spent five years on the staff at MIT. This led to his success as a Silicon Valley millionaire! Although Craig never stopped playing guitar and never stopped writing songs he has lived in Oklahoma, California, Massachusetts, North Carolina, and New Hampshire — but now he’s back in California. The consummate ‘Cowboy at Heart’ Craig still loves folk and country songs along with duets too and has written several, plus he’s arranged others from existing songs.

Craig’s breakout & breakup song, “I Don’t Love You Any Less ( But I Won’t See You Any More)” addresses an issue never before encountered in a country song while being on the edge of controversy – Craig’s reaction from listeners “I take my wedding vows seriously and I wish she did too”. The ladies think he’s quite a crooner too, with his deep, sexy vocals. Craig is single ladies and quite the Cowboy at Heart."

“I take my wedding vows seriously and I wish she did too”.  This comment from Craig would be hilarious if it did not make me shudder. 

 

Craig has been married twice. The first marriage lasted for 18 months, ending when Craig left his wife, Elaine, alone and pregnant, to return to graduate school at Stanford.  The couple had been living in Massachusetts.  Elaine took the hint, had the baby, and filed for divorce, which Craig used to hammer her in every way possible until both sets of parents intervened to stop the monetary blood-bath he was causing. 

I married Craig many years later.  The story he told me was very different.  He had lied, naturally.  I discovered the truth only after he and I had been married for some time. 

Craig had to keep moving around because he never filed his taxes.  He lied to me about this, too.  Bringing his taxes up to date and remaining compliant was a condition of our marriage. 

You're Not Paranoid – The IRS is out to get you.

As a long-time Libertarian and officer of the LP for the State of California, I knew what they can do to you.  I had friends who served time for various tax protests.  With three little children, I could not take chances.  Saving Craig from the impact of not having filed nearly killed me in 1997.

In return, in early 1998, Craig tried to finish the job by leaving me while I was caring for the son he adopted, who had nearly died when his motorcycle hit the back of a car.  Arthur was thrown 300 feet, around 20 feet in the air, and landed on his face, skidding 50 more feet.  He suffered a major brain injury.  Miraculously, he did not die.  While I was spending time in the hospital, holding him while the nurses worked on saving him, Craig entered into a, "Throw Mama from the Train," agreement with his boss, Dan O'Dowd, president of Green Hills Software, Inc., where Craig was Senior Vice President, to destroy me financially during the divorce.  In return, Craig was to assist in ensuing Dan's partner, Glenn Hightower, could not exercise the buy out option O'Dowd then activated.

Here is a signed Affidavit attesting to these facts. 

When Craig realized he would have to pay support for our son, who was now handicapped, he persuaded Arthur, who was naturally struggling with depression, to shoot himself in the head.  Again, miraculously, Arthur did not die.  I remain Arthur's caretaker but Dan and Craig succeeded, with the assistance of Morgan, my oldest daughter, in leaving me penniless.  

You don't need to take my word for it.  The documents are at Just The Evidence.

So, hiring the penniless Manchesters to harass me, and hopefully finish me off, doubtless seemed like a good idea to Craig.   Craig is not like any ‘Cowboy at Heart’ I ever knew.  Approach him with the same caution you would use with a grizzly bear.  By the way, if Craig offers to show he means it by writing you into his will understand he does  this all the time.  What he does not mention is that his stock reverts to Green Hills on his death.  Given his profligate habits, no one, not even his creditors, will get a dime. 

Now, the reprise of last year's correspondence with the Manchesters. 

  

Response: an Open Letter to Alex Montagu

 Alex Montagu, also known as Alex Montagu Manchester, David Charles Kimbolton, Alexander Charles Mandeville, and more recently as 'The Duke of Manchester,' wrote the letter below, also available on his site.   It contains what appear to be deliberate misstatements, evasions, and rhetorical questions. 

An Open Letter is the easiest way to provide a commentary, so here it is.  Montagu is in RED.  My comments in BLUE

Dear family, friends and new friends,

When we were talking to Alex and Laura every day they frequently discussed their family members.  Those statements did not lead us to conclude relations between them were 'friendly.'  To the contrary, alleging your mother tried to drown you when you were five years old by giving you a sabotaged canoe leads the listener to assume all is not well with Lady Montagu. This story was told to me for publication.  Stories about Alex's siblings, if less shocking, also left us believing a strong sense of alienation had existed for some time. 

The only person Alex identified as a friend, in this case his closest friend, told both myself and Raye Smith,""we are just business associates.  He has never been to my home."  

Alex appears to frequently have new friends who quickly depart.  We will see how long these new friends last.  . 

I, The 13th Duke of Manchester have started to document truth.. UNLESS THE MEDIA HAS MY ACCOUNTING AND MY tAX ACCOUNTING. IM WONDERING HOW AND WHY THEY SAY THE DUKE AND DUCHESS OF MANCHESTER TRUST IS BROKE. WHERE DO THEY GET THE INFORMATION PLEASE DO TELL.

 The press is printing anything they feel

No Alex, you can be sure they are not even printing what they think  They are simply relaying the facts, as documented.
It is clear Alex knows nothing of the daunting and dampening existence of Editors and Publishers.  Not to say advertisers and attorneys.  He has probably also unaware of the existence of Fact Checkers and Copy Editors.  
Reporters write stories assigned by their editors. Some parts of the media still do real investigative journalism, but this is rare.  However, stories which are shocking, lurid, and bizarre get a lot of attention. This, Alex, is why reporters are assigned to write stories about you.  If you stop behaving in ways which normal people find to be reprehensible the stories will stop.

The media say you are broke, Alex, because the amount of money you receive from the Trusts barely allows you to survive at the level of lower middle class today.  There may be money in the Trusts but the world now knows you have no access to those funds because your more responsible fore bearers decided their descendants were not to be trusted.  (excuse the pun)

Raye and I thought you were broke because you and Laura whined about not being able to afford your storage bill in Michigan, the phone bill, to pay for your medications, to pay for shipping, to pay for a car (this complaint could well be the source of the bouncing check), and, of course, for your divorce from Laura.  

Raye was far too generous.  

Now, if you accept money from a disabled woman struggling to survive on a small retirement income it is because said woman believes you are not, yourself, better off than is she.  There are two possible interpretations for these events, which can be documented by receipts and transfer statements.  

• You are very, very poor, so poor you beg help from an elderly woman, who is subsisting of a small, fixed income.  
• You have money but prefer to con an elderly woman, who is subsisting on a small fixed income, into paying your bills.  

Which is it? 

Without any truth at all. I have been forced by circumstances beyond my control to document truth in my past and future.
Most people have CVs or other materials documenting their lives, if they are in the pubic eye, which you certainly are.  If you decide to tell the story, provide documentation.  It will be checked, rest assured. 
The media does tell the truth.  Because of those pesky Fact Checkers and Attorneys reporters do not live the wild and free life of fiction you live yourself.  They make mistakes, but in your case this did not happen.

This is going to be a beautiful website where photos, Personal documents clearing my name and my great honorable family history.
Let's hope the website developer is paid in advance.  
Your family, several generations back, had a very honorable history.  That started to unravel in the 1880s, according to available sources.  They made bad choices and failed to limit their spending and were thus forced to sell their property for paltry amounts of money, despite advice which would have made many of these sell-offs unnecessary.  
Good luck with that 'clearing your name' project.  If you mean you are going to admit your many wrongful acts, beg forgiveness, and turn over a new tree, well good luck to you.  I would not put money on your chances.   

The media is printing anything the feel.
I reserve comment because I am not sure what he means.  All, too  frequently the case with Alex.
They need to sell papers they are desperate.
The newspaper business has been changing rapidly.  Smaller, independent papers began to be bought up over 25 years ago.  Andrew Kreig, now of the Integrity Justice Project, wrote the first book on the threat of centralization under corporate control.  Sales are definitely off. But as horrifying as your life story has been it alone cannot save the present media industry.  Journalism will continue to move onto the Internet and out of the control of corporate interests.   Take comfort in this fact. 
They have no journalistic integrity nor have they done there research or printed a statement from me.
Let's be fair here.  You did a lot of self-reporting.  Just peruse the Articles Page on this site.  Your willingness to call them up and tell stories on yourself, as you, for instance did to The Age, this appearing in Spy's column there with a story titled, " Lord, Now it's a wedding".
They report what you say, Alex, but later you realize you can't unsay it.  And Alex, I'm reprinting your statement, with commentary, so you can't say it is not done. 

They are leaving themselves vulnerable to a scandalous libel situation.....

And I'm sure you are hoping they do not sue you for the libels you wrote in your letter.  

Nothing Richard kay, from The Daily Mail said is true. Nothing they have printed is the truth.

 Alex, it was the truth.  It was just inconvenient for you to see it in print. 

I never said one word about the Royal family. 

 Yes, you did. Then you libeled me, saying I had not only written said hogwash (a crime against the English language) but put it up online.  You do realize this was a libel for which you can be sued, don't you? 

I have no on line rant called montymont..

You took it down.  The misspelling of your email was a mistake which took place through the haste of the reporter, not picked up by the Fact Checker. 

I also do not live in Newport Beach California.

No, you live in Las Vegas, but the Newport Beach address is the signature in your email so people think you live there.  

This sloppy unprofessional journalism is going to stop.

Most people use their correct address.  Why don't you?  Care to share?

They do not do there due diligence to document there stories. 

Yes, they do. So much the worse for you.  

My familys resources are vast we are comitted to document the unvarnished truth.

Would you care to produce some PROOF of that statement?  For which members of your family are you speaking?  Did you notify them? 

The Duke of Manchester family has been very close to the Queen and past Kings for Centuries....That is how I became the Duke of Manchester.

Angus does not appear to have been close to Her Majesty, by any known reports. His life was only slightly less scandalous than your own.  You inherited your title.  It reflects no earned honor. Without the title  you would probably still be in prison in Australia.  Money got you out of there and to the US, where you met Wendy.  Only after you met Wendy did the stream of public scandals, which lead to media articles. die down - for a time.   

The Duke of Manchester has been the Queens Guard and Yomen and very proud of the relationship. I Cherish a Centuries old tradition and would never, Under any circumstance, Malign or disrespect that relationship.

This is not a relationship with you.  It is a relationship with history and with men who understood the concepts of honor.  
I have not seen you do any cherishing.  Where is the Bible Henry the VIII gave to his Queen, Katherine Parr?  Where are the artifacts entrusted to you?   
You know nothing about the history and traditions of the peerage.  You wear your ducal robes like a Halloween outfit.  How do you define 'malign or disrespect?' 
You incorrectly report yourself as a royal duke.  Does anything embarrass you? 

The Duchess and I are going to restore the family name and reputation for the future of our esteemed title.

No one is going to put any money on that bet. 

Our Lawyers have been informed about the scurrilous accusations in the article and are proceeding to act accordingly.

Quoting articles, stretching back decades is not scurrilous.  But your actions were.  

This is a BIG media challenge! You will have to do research I know it will be tough work.

No, it is not tough.  You left a media trail in neon lights across the English speaking world.  Reporter do not bury the truth, not even for money, generally.  

I challenge any of you to find Marion Stoner. 

An offer of payment should be made here. Reporters do this to make a living, not as charity.  Offer a reporter money and you will have the proof in minutes.  There will be five of them parked outside her house at 6am, waiting to knock with their video cams in hand, I imagine.  Otherwise, no one believes she is missing.  They have seen the evidence. 

The woman who extorted money from my mother Mary Montagu. 

You do realize that Marion reported that your mother and Emma found her, not the other wayaround, right?  Your mother has said she and an aid, another woman initially went to Stoner's home but did not enter.  You should also be aware you have just libeled your former wife, not that this seems to bother you. 

And to find out why my mother paid Marion Stoner and why she paid Marion Stoner and for what?? 

I believe your mother paid Marion for her trouble in having to handle the paperwork.  Stoner did not care if there was a divorce by then.  Stoner was contented with not being responsible for your debts.  Ask Wendy why she would be concerned about your debts.    

And why didnt my mother call the police if Marion Stoner extorted money from my mother?

It sounds to the interested observer that Lady Mary did not call the police because she was not extorted.  She was griping because she had to shell out money to do what you should have handled yourself.  She might have resented having to clean up a mess you made, I'm not sure of thi,but it sounds like it.  Why don't you ask her? 

Tell me Why Marion Stoner stayed married to me if she got a restraining order on me? 

 She first got a Restraining Order.  This kept you away from her when you were stalking her and harassing her family.  Then she got a Permanent Separation.  She is quoted as saying in an article, published in The People in 1988, My Barmy Marriage, that she could not find you to serve papers. 

By the way, I was never served....

This issue was seriously discussed in court.  The transcript you helpfully sent to me by email recounts, word for word, the reasoning of the court. Evidently, barricading yourself in your place of residence and assaulting the police officer with the spear gun caused them to think you might take the service of papers badly.  The comment conveyed to the judge by your solicitor from your psychiatrist, about your psychopathic tendencies,  is at the bottom of page 9. 

Why did Marion Stoner not get a divorce she was at the court house....

She said she could not find you to serve papers. Very selfishly, she supposed you were old enough to handle this yourself. So you evidently waited until your Mom handled it for you.

She just forgot to get a divorce from me...She had a lawyer. 

Why should she pay for it?

My mothers name is all over my marriage paperwork she did the entire thing. 

Kind of her.  Let's hope you were appropriately thankful. 

 She worked for the court house. 

 What a concept.  She worked! 

None of my friends believe I was ever married to Marion stoner she is a lie made up by my mother. 

That is what you told them.  It was you who lied. 

My mother wanted the Title and money for her other son who I have never known. 

Kimble did not know you well - but well enough for you to feel free to call on him when you were in trouble, according to his Declaration. 

How did my mother have two children with my father if he left her when I was 9 months old. 

The official records reflect a date of separation for 1965, after the birth of your sister, Emma.This seems pretty normal to me. 

She raised them and sent me away to boarding school.

They also went to boarding schools.  But they were not expelled, even once.  

I have no baby pictures from my mother only what my wife has found.

You stole all the family photos from Wendy, by her account.  This included the Michael Jackson tapes, which, if you had been actually married would have been community property.  Wendy is now contemplating the law suit for fraud, I believe.   

Laura, herself, told me several times you took her photos, including those of her family,  and would not let her see them.  Wendy believes you stole your childhood photos from your mother. Look in your cache of photographs.  They are probably there.  

Sincerely,

The Duke and Duchess of Manchester

The Manchester Divorce Reality

 Finally tired of the continuing lies told by Alex, Laura, and Morgan, we provide this narrative, documented by emails from the period of 2007 - 2008 from Alex to Wendy, plus others.  

On January 5th, 2007, Alex lied to obtain a stay away order against Wendy, claiming she had threatened him with a knife. The stay away order was lifted on January 10th, only five days later, after a hearing which determined the charges had no merit.

He had served her with divorce papers on the 6th of December, 2006, and Wendy had decided to wait until after the holiday to obtain counsel herself. Always, Wendy's first concern was the stability of her children over the Christmas season.

Charges to the contrary are slander and libel. Laura well knows this. Her own friends urged her not to marry Alex, and then to leave him. Today, she has no contact with her former friends or her family, these facts conveyed to Wendy when, in October – December of 2008, she was living with Wendy and the children and being supported by Wendy.

After January 10^th, 2007, mutual restraining orders were in force until April. Alex was arrested because he, not Wendy, violated the order. This also did not stop Alex from attempting to gain an advantage by enticing Wendy to violate the order using the children. Alex took it upon himself to have the children baptized on Sunday, February 25^th. Wendy could not legally attend, a cause of anguish to her, but Alex did what he could to persuade her to do so. A normal parent would not plan such an event when the other parent could not attend, or during such a time.

In the emails below you see Alex's attempts to gain advantage over Wendy during the divorce, even as he attempts to persuade her to come back to him, for the sake of the children, he says. Over the next months Alex continued to attack Wendy with the legal system, claiming she was an alcoholic, violent, a bad mother, among other lies, while he worked to alienate the children from her.

Wendy uniformly complied with every order of the court, never missed a court date, still working full time. Alex stalled, lied about his health, and asked for more time because his attorneys uniformly found him impossible to work with. His first attorneys, to whom he paid a retainer of $100,000, returned fees just to be rid of him. He was never without funds, but still claimed poverty to his church and the court.

Alex's motive was to get control of the children because most of his own income was tied to support received from the Manchester Trusts for their benefit.

Alex also attempted to get Wendy to pay him support for the kids, do grocery shopping, and other chores while pointing out how expensive the divorce would be – for her. Since Alex never paid the costs ordered by the court, and certainly knew, because of his past experiences with evading payment, he could not be forced to pay because he had no accessible source of income, he was not constrained to act in accordance with the law. Note that Manchester's income from the Trusts cannot be garnisheed, as many unhappy creditors have discovered.

In parallel, he continued to contact Wendy, in violation of the mutual restraining order. Wendy had a job and regular income. The woman who would replace her, Laura Smith, was not employed, a consideration which seems to have grown in his consciousness until soon before the final divorce hearing.

When Wendy was awarded sole custody on August 23^th, 2007 Alex was not in the hospital. He was sitting in the court room in Orange County. Later that day he handed the kids over in only their pajamas. Neither child was allowed to have any of their clothing, precious childhood mementos, or toys, those disappeared until a box of too-small clothing was dumped at the church several years later.

The letters below also document the theft of Wendy's wedding ring from her apartment by Alex, who also admitted having sold it. Alex gained access to Wendy's apartment by lying about appointments for the kids, taking them out of school early and demanding the key Alex, Jr., had to the apartment.

This violation of trust is only another in a chain of actions which have, together, destroyed Alex's relationship with his children, neither of whom, now 13 and 19, speak to him today.

The letters below document this narrative.

Manchester persuaded Wendy to go by the house and pick up her cat. He then insisted she take two of them, which she did. He then tried to prevent her from leaving as she drove away.

Dear Wendy
I know that you owe your Lawyer a lot of money and he is not really working on your Divorce until he gets paid
My offer still stands But I stress for this offer to be valid you need to commit to counseling and to work on seeing if we can fix is marriage and this would mean 100% commitment and after you feel comfortable DATING AND I MEAN JUST DATEING and see if we can start this marriage probably not how we did it before I will work with you 1 million % I do not have any money but I will do everything possible to help work things with you. You know you make at least 75% more money than I do but lets try to work this out as a team and after a couple of years we cannot do it lets at least do things probably
Also now it has been explained to me why your lawyers are not working as fast as they could because they have not received any money from you since your first amount and if tings go as they are now this divorce will cost you at a min 65,000.00 and once again then if you have this lets proceed but I also need from you desperately financial assistance from you and from my lawyers calculation this should be between 850 and a 1000 a month.

Dear Mr. Montagu-Manchester:

Our office has contacted Mr. John DeHart and advised Mr. DeHart that it is his legal and ethical obligation to return to you all of your files regardless if you have paid for your attorney's fees.

Further, and most importantly, our office has served you with a Notice to Appear and Produce Documents at the time of the hearing on August 27, 2007, at 1:30 p.m. in Department C65. I expect at a minimum that you bring all of your documents from January 1, 2007 to present, including your account with CitiGold, Account Number XXXXXXXXXXX, in its entirety, as well as the source and nature of transfers from IMMA for the same period of time. Your statement and representations to the Court that you simply have "no funds" is clearly false. As I have advised you previously, our office will no longer tolerate your conduct and your continued deception to the Court.

Lastly, please provide our office with an accounting of all funds received on and after April 16, 2007, pursuant to the Findings and Order After Hearing filed on May 10, 2007, which provides as follows:

"SPOUSAL SUPPORT AND EXPERT COSTS:

The first $1,500.00 that Petitioner receives from any source whatsoever shall be paid to Saeed Soltani, Ph.D., MFCC, located at

1551 North Tustin Avenue, #540, Santa Ana, California 92705.

The next $6,000.00 that Petitioner receives from any source whatsoever shall be retained by Petitioner.

Thereafter, a sum of 20% of funds that Petitioner receives from any source whatsoever shall be paid to Respondent, until further order of Court.

Petitioner shall provide an accounting of all sums received on or before the 15^th day of May and June, 2007, or until further order of Court."

As provided above, you were ordered to provide an accounting of all sums received on or before May 15 and June 15, 2007, or until further order of Court, which means each month thereafter. You have utterly failed to provide any accounting to our office and, again, our office will not tolerate this conduct.

Finally, a copy of the Minute Order dated August 23, 2007, is attached for your information.

Very truly yours,

JOSEPH A. SHUFF, III

Also, do not call our office and advise our office that you are going to "put a bullet through her head." If I receive another call similar to that through my office, I will not hesitate to contact the local police agency.
Furthermore, in response to you picking up the children at church at 6:00 p.m. today, again, you must follow the Court Order, as I am advising our client not to capitulate to your demands.

Alex, you haven't had room for the children in your life since the weekend of the 7th of December. You tell the children that you live too far away to bother with "after-school to 8:00pm" Wednesday visits, and once I discovered that you were illegally pulling them from classes prior to the end of the school day?, You quit all together. And this past Wednesday there wasn't even a call to say you wouldn't be visiting with them. We've all made our plans for the weekend, as we've become used to you not taking them for weekend visits, because you don't have room for the children. Also, I'm concerned about the welfare of the children, you have claimed to everyone that you were stabbed.  And the police picked you up in Laguna, you were held on a 51/50.  There is still the issue of:

1. would need proof of residency, lease agreement

2. proof of a valid drivers license

3. proof of drivers insurance

4. children's passports

Verified by someone from the sheriff's department. In addition, not responding immediately to your demands does not constitute refusal of visitation.

Wendy D. Montagu

Alex had arranged a visit with the kids. Alexander, Jr., then old enough to decide whether or not he wanted to visit, declined. Ashley wanted to see her Dad. The arrangement was for the children to be transferred at the police station. Alex was to show proof of a valid driver's license and insurance and was also to let Wendy know where he was living, which he refused to do. The letters below show the ugly, violent and defiant attitude presented by Alex along with his inappropriate behavior, behavior so questionable, a police presence was needed. In addition, Alex threatened to drop Ashley off in downtown Los Angeles when he was required to return her, then only eight, to her mother at the police station where he picked her up.

In a message dated 8/4/2008 11:39:44 A.M. Pacific Daylight Time, Wendy Montagu writes:

        I will try to give you details of the events of the weekend as best I can. 

August 1,
I received phone calls at work from Alex most of my day at work.  I was told if I did not produce both of his children that I was going to be arrested on the spot.  I was told in voicemail that Alex would be coming with his attorney and paralegal. 
At 6:02 we arrived at the sheriff's department in Aliso Viejo. 
Prior to this I had been told by Alex that he had contacted Lt. Paddock and had had his drivers license and proof of insurance verified. 
On my way to  pick up the children I phoned our Pastor, knowing that he has relationship with Lt. Paddock.  Pastor Doug verified for me that Alex had indeed spoken to Lt. Paddock and checked out.  I was also told that Lt. Paddock would make sure he had a sergeant there at the station for the exchange. 
When we arrived it was only Alex there.  I called dispatch and requested back up to keep the peace.  We waited in the car until officers arrived.  While inside my car I asked Alex if he intended on providing me with the address where he would be taking Ashley, he then got mad because he said he was taking both children and that now HE wanted the officers there to arrest me.  I brought Alexander with me so that he could speak directly to a officer regarding his wishes. 
Alex then went to say that he'd be staying at the Hilton in San Diego, that his friend El Kidd reserved them a room.  Alex has claimed for over 6 months now that he resides in San Diego. 
Ashley and I got out of the car when we saw a officer approach, the officer as we found out was not for us…he stayed in his patrol car by us.  At this time of night there seems to be a shift change and there are officers present though. 
Oh, when we first arrived Alex told us he had been in the office and showed them his license, insurance and that he has the right to carry a concealed weapon!  How is this possible?  We continued to wait for a officer so that we could make the custody exchange. 
At this point, maybe 20-25 minutes of being there all of a sudden Alex started yelling obscenities my direction, and the next thing I know there are about 5 officers standing with Alex.  Alex had his hands in the air, he was calling them crooks, idiots and the like.  He was accusing me of not letting him have Ashley, meanwhile Ashley is standing there with her duffle bag ready to go with him.  She began to cry because Alex was threatening to leave her there. 
The officers asked to see some identification, they went across the street where his car was.  I could see him showing them paperwork, the next thing I know Alex is getting in his car, and the officers are coming back in my direction, I asked what had happened and was told he refused to show them any documentation. 
Then before he left he called Ashley over to him to give her a hug, she began to run across the street, and I yelled for her to be careful, Alex in turn took this to mean I was attempting to prevent her from coming to him, again the officers quickly approached him due to his aggression.  As Ashley got to him he shuttled her into the car.  And they left.  He had only just left when my cell phone began to ring with his calls.  I had to stay behind and give my report. 
Alexander at this point got out of the car, now that his father was gone.  I answered Alex's first call around  7:00 that evening, at that point he was screaming at me telling me if I wanted Ashley I was going to have to pick her up in Los Angeles, I indicated to him that he had told us he'd be in San Diego, I was then called a "stupid bitch" for being that stupid to believe him.  He went on to call me a lot of vile names, all the while Ashley is at the beginning of her visit with her father since April. 
After this call from Alex I played my voicemail.  I have a recording of Alex telling me "Just so you know, if you want Ashley you can pick her up Wednesday or Thursday, in Downtown L.A, 'good luck finding me' " He called a few more times that night screaming at me.  I kept trying to get him to stop, that his daughter had been excited to see him and he was doing all of this in front of her. 
I called the police to notify them, it was verified to me that there was nothing I could do until after his scheduled visitation, that if he failed to return her as specified in the orders, then I could act.  I left him a message before going to bed that he had better deliver her at 7:00 on Sunday evening or I would be issuing a Amber Alert. 

Aug. 2  I heard from Ashley that morning much to my relief.  She indicated to me that she was in Malibu.  She was happy as daddy had been buying her things.  She called later that afternoon to let me know she was playing with a little girl on the girls computer.  I was relieved as she called me from the Childs telephone, and if I needed to somehow reach Ashley I had another telephone number to use.  I didn't hear from her again that day.

Aug. 3  While at church I noticed I had received a text message, it said "Wendy, this is the telephone number for Joe at the security guard where Alex lives.  I had no idea from whom it came from.  I called the number and got voicemail for a ? Harbor or Harmony courts apartments.  I have found out now that Alex lives in Redondo Beach. 
On my first call from Alex he told me I could pick up Ashley at the Claim Jumper in Fountain Valley, I told him that is not where we live he has to drop her off in Aliso Viejo, he told me that wasn't going to happen.  The next series of calls where to pick her up at the Costa Mesa police station, that he would be "leaving" her there at 4:00.  I again said no, and that if he did that it would be abandonment. 
Then he called me saying he had made arrangements with someone to drop her off to me, I asked who?  "a homeless man".  Meanwhile, Ashley is hearing all of this in the front seat.  He was HORRIBLE, the things he was saying about me where horrific, and NO nine year old should be hearing that.  I was told how I had tricked him in getting pregnant, that I had Syphilis and VD!!  That he was going to get all of my medical records.  He also told me that I had caused trouble in his marriage with Laura.  That it was all my fault she had left him. 
At 5:00 I got a call from him to come get Ashley, I asked where, he said he was at my complex's gate.  I told him to tell her to walk through and come home.  He said "no, it will be one on one".   I told him I was going to call the police, I was concerned for my safety and that of Ashley's and Alexander's.  He pulled up to my door before a officer could arrive and dropped her off.  She was safe and sound.  His calls continued.  On one of the calls he told me I could have whatever I wanted if I would just fix his marriage to Laura.

At this point I have no intention of allowing another visit until after we go to court.  Alex displays such aggression, I don't think he's safe around Ashley.  He seems to have a lot going on personally.  He's menacing and seems disturbed. 
And with the added knowledge that he has firearms, and a license to carry?  I'm fearful of my life and that of my children.  I am unable to get a restraining order on him because I don't have his exact address.  I did however speak to the security guard where he lives, I have been told he's been called out to Laura and Alex's residence quite a bit, do to their fighting. 
This was exactly what I was afraid of.  He refuses to say where he will be with his child.  If something were to happen??  He was also driving a car that had no plates on it, that he claims he "borrowed".  I was fearful all weekend of my Childs safety and well fair.  I realize this was a lengthy email, and I hope you all take the time to read it.  It's much shorter than my weekend was.  Tony, I apologize for my rant on your voicemail on Friday night, I was frustrated to say the least.  The "hoops" you referenced?  What Alex did was exactly what I thought would and could happen.

        I was talking to Alexander this weekend….I finally asked him why he wouldn't come with me last year when dad had him.  He told me basically dad was giving him things.  And all the bad stuff he was saying about me.  I realize this is just hearsay, but I asked.  When I was talking to him about the day that I got custody I told him that Alex had been calling Joe's office and saying that Alexander would runaway the first moment he could.  Alexander told me that he was supposed to have a sleepover at a friends and Alex picked him up.  Alex told Alexander to spit in my face and tell the police he didn't want to go with me.  Nice eh?  Doubt it's of use at this point, but just wanted to mention it.  It really made me upset, what did I do to that man?  That you would tell your son to spit in his mother's face? 
Hope all is well with you. Wish me luck today!  Hope this is it!

I did take a loan from my 401K, it's in the bank but not available yet!  Very frustrating.  I had NO idea they would hold this long.  As soon as the hold is lifted I will send payment to you.  Can you please provide me with your billing address?

Please be advised that our office no longer will convey any further messages that you have for our client, Ms. Wendy Montagu. As I have previously advised you, our office will not act as your "messenger."
Furthermore, our client can take the children on vacation outside of the United States at any time that she so desires and there is no Court Order retraining her from doing so. Quite frankly, I have no idea how you possibly construe any of the Court Orders. However, I would strongly suggest that you review all the Court Orders with legal counsel, so that you have a thorough knowledge of those Orders.
Lastly, our client does not have any plans to take the children on a Mexico cruise nor intends to take the children on a Mexico cruise. Again, quite frankly, it is a mystery why you continually make false allegations. Nevertheless, please do not further involve our office.
