Thanks to Anonymous for this offering, which will not appear as a comment as I felt in necessary to correct some misapprehensions on the part of Anon.
Anonymous has left a new comment on your post "
The Personal Genesis of this site":
"Full House for the Unlucky 13th Duke of Manchester in the Clark County Jail. The Duke got a 3 of a kind in the criminal court system."
(NOTE - Is it Alex who is unlucky or the rest of us?)
DUI -
Attempted Stolen Auto (
NOTE - This many refer to Alex's passing a bad check to pay for an automobile in late 2011. The loan was from Speedy Car Loan. Robert Lambson is the owner of the company, which provides loans and does not sell automobiles. Mr. Lambson, contacted for this short update, noted the Duke agreed to make payments, made some of these, but failed to pay the loan off. Enforcement is now by the Prosecutor's Office for Clark County according to Lambson.
Attempted Burglary - Alex remains incarcerated for this crime at least until trial. (SEE - Article from
the Guardian on the burglary and other charges.)

"Even he couldn't overcome the odds. He bet against himself by breaking into a home and getting caught red handed with the loot. His batty uneducated and unsophisticated wife continues to stick up for him and attacks the victims of his many many crimes - over the course of many years." (NOTE - True.)
"Laura Smith of Holly, Michigan married the Duke in the hopes of wearing the crown however, it is just as unlucky for her. With zero education and the inability to form proper sentences and understand a 3rd grade vocabulary, it appears as if her efforts would have been better by getting her a proper education." (NOTE - Laura is, according to a listing for a reunion, a former student at Holly High School. For insights into her writing style and level of literacy see her
blog.)
Anon - "This wife cannot possibly hold any titles with any crowns due to her inability to speak at a higher level of conversation than that of a 3rd grader." (NOTE - It is clear the ability to write an articulate sentence is not required for those holding titles. Let's assume Laura does the best she can.)
Anon. - "Poor Alex and Laura, they just pass themselves off as two boobs allowing their stories to unravel and eat with what they feel are common folk. Being labeled by the press as fraudsters and drug addicts, bigamists and predators; the Duke and Doxie of Manchester are a disgrace - not only to their own country of Manchester England, but to their families and their communities." (NOTE - Many have said the same, Anonymous. But clearly Alex and Laura have not been hampered by these accusations.)
Anon, - "If you see them - RUN, hide your purse, close your wallet. They for sure will be living their live out of the toilet." (NOTE - Given the evidence this is good advice.)

"Laura, the wife of this man is old and aged. She has more wrinkles than most and her skin is saggy and leathery from picking through other's trash for a bite to eat and a few things she can sell. She has been accused of shoplifting to have something new and her hubby, the Duke, well - he's just a common thief breaking into others homes to swipe easy things to pawn. There time has come to an end with little Alex - wearing a gps monitor tracking device that records his every step.
So? Will Laura start prostituting herself again? At 60 years old, it's doubtful she can find a buyer. Will Laura begin to steal from others - possible, but she risks getting caught and worse- going to jail. Will Alex break probation and end up back in the pokey - This is the biggest probability. Being a drug addict and a thief and having a long history of criminal trespassing and activity, I don't see him changing. He thinks he can out smart the system, but always ends up in trouble.
Will their children ever speak to them again? Highly doubtful - who would want to admit these crooks were family, let alone friends. Will Laura ever show a real picture of herself and instead keep using her teen modeling photos? I'm sure Laura will be showing her teen photos for the rest of her life and hiding in the bungalow of disease that her partner in crime's trust fund can only afford. Will they stay together or finally divorce - It's clear they are made for each other and birds of a feather. I predict Alex will eventually do her in for some insurance monies now that he cannot steal for a living. his cons are all run out. He's not even a successful criminal.
His own country is glad he has left and wishes he would just get run over by a car. He is insanely jealous of his past 2 ex wives. They have loving and happy and secure lives. Alex and Laura's life has been built in a sand castle on shaky group where they thought their reptile like split tongues would be enough to take advantage of women and children. HA HA HA and now look at them. A bigger disgrace in this country than in England. " (NOTE - Since I never, never seen Laura this report on her present appearance is not supported by a third party. She does use her much earlier photos, which is sad but understandable. The children, and Wendy were badly victimized, along with those who trusted the couple in business dealings. If exposure to the truth has provided protection to innocent parties we should all be glad for this. Providing protection to the innocent is the reason this site exists.
It would be interesting to know who you are, Anonymous. Here is a reminder on the
actual income enjoyed by the Duke supplied by a party who could speak with authority.
