Police
Report
Ashtabula
Police Department
This report
has also been filed with the FBI, locally through Painsville, and to
the FBI for Ohio.
Normally, I
would not take threats by Raye seriously as she loves drama,
exhibiting many characteristics associated with psychopathy, but she
appears to be working with my former husband, Craig Franklin, who I
know previously tried to find a hitman to kill me. He also paid
$10,000 in a failed attempt to kill my son, Arthur. The transfer of
funds came to light late in our divorce.
Manchester
hired a hitman to kill Wendy during their divorce but the hitman
informed her of this and refused to follow through.
The
VoiceMessages
Around
40 recordings of voice mails were received from Manchester by
Melinda, Wendy, Wendy's daughter, Ashley from 2012 – 2013. These
are the first in 2014. These are included on the Lexar Drive.
On August
7, 2014 I received an email, with audio attachment, from Wendy
Buford Montagu, who is the former wife of Alexander, 13th
Duke of Manchester.
This first
voice message, left on Wendy's answering machine at work, conveyed
the information Wendy, myself, and my disabled son, had been targeted
for murder. Manchester said on the tape Raye was involved in this,
also naming others.
On August
22, 2014 I received another email, with audio attachment, from Wendy.
The second
voice message, again left on Wendy's answering machine at work,
explicitly said I was targeted and named the person targeting me as
an Ashtabula resident, Raye Smith. Manchester quoted Raye Smith,
“She is a dead woman walking.”
About
Wendy and Melinda
Wendy has
worked for a very large legal firm, Latham & Watkins, LLC,
located at 650 Town Center Drive 20th Floor, Costa Mesa, CA
92626-1925 for over twenty-five years. She coordinates conferences
for the firm.
She was
married to Manchester from 1993 – 2007. Two children were born of
the marriage. The youngest child, a daughter, who is now 15,
refused to have anything to do with her father or his new wife,
Laura. The same is true for the son who is 20.
Manchester
has not seen the children for five years and left California to evade
paying court ordered support. Any support paid comes from the
Manchester Trust, which provides him with a modest stipend every
month.
Melinda is
working with a start up, Envirock, which produces such products as
Ultra-High performance Concrete and other building materials.
Corporate headquarters is in Dallas, Texas. The company has not yet
been funded but this is expected to happen in the next six weeks. We
are in negotiations with investors and have about 35 million in LOIs
now and other projects moving forward. She will probably have to
relocate out of Ashtabula as soon as they are funded.
In the
normal scheme of things Melinda would not be living in Ashtabula, but
in California.
Why
Melinda is in Ashtabula
Melinda
accepted an offer for a partnership from Raye Smith in her company,
Rubicon Aegis, LLC. Rubicon Aegis owns a website, Rumor Mill News,
which is basically an online tabloid, but has a high hit rating. It
was Raye who introduced Melinda to the Manchesters.
Melinda
serves as a Vestry Member for St. Peter Episcopal Church in
Ashtabula.
Melinda's
involvement began when she was asked to put up a website for the
Manchesters by Raye Smith, AKA Rayelan Allen on August 25, 2011.
Raye
presented the Manchesters as close friends of hers. She also
affirmed them as people of good character who had been wrongly
maligned in the media. Promising they would pay for the work in a
short time.
On this
representation, Melinda agreed to do the work requested.
Melinda
discovered Raye's representations were false in November, but at that
time Raye presented herself as also having been deceived. Only a
year after coming to Ohio did Melinda learn this was also false. Raye
had known about Manchester because of evidence offered by Wendy, who
heard an interview Raye did with Manchester on her radio show and
contacted her station. Although the slanders and other lies told had
cost Melinda tens of thousands of dollars Raye refused accept any
responsibility claiming she was, “Not
a journalist and the truth does not matter, anyway.”
Manchester
Wendy and I
do a website, TheDukeofManchester.com, which enumerates the wrong
doings of her former husband to protect potential victims. We have
been thanked on numerous occasions for providing this service, both
by victims and journalists. The site includes previous articles
published by the mainstream media, court documents, emails, and other
items which serve to illustrate Manchester's long history as a
conman. By the time he was 24, in 1985, Manchester had 22 felony
convictions for fraud, auto theft and other crimes in Australia.
Despite his
title, Alexander is a convicted felon and a conman with a long
history of criminal activity, the consequences for much of which he
has managed to evade due to the title.
Alex was
first diagnosed as having psychopathic tendencies in 1984 while under
the care of a psychiatrist. He had barricaded himself in his home
and assaulted a policeman and held his own attorney at gun point
using a spear gun.
While Wendy
was married to Alex she learned he had some kind of connection to
agents in the FBI and he later claimed to be working for the FBI on a
case. The name of the Special Agent was Gregory Coleman. His email
addresses in 2011 was gregory.coleman@ic.fbi.gov,
gcolema3@leo.gov
Wendy and
Melinda do not believe Coleman is in any way involved, but this is
the contact to which Manchester refers.
Who Is
Involved
Wendy, who
was married to Manchester for 15 years, expressed surprise he would
have come after Melinda with a barrage of calls to her clients and
editors after refusing to pay her for the work done. His usual
practice, she says, is to avoid contact with those he defrauds.
There is a
strong possibility the cooperation between Manchester and several
other individuals who view Melinda as a threat because of information
in her possession.
The
evidence in the most recent VoiceMessages mention Raye Smith. This
points to a cooperative effort which included her from the beginning.
It appears
that Raye was never out of contact with the Manchesters and
intentionally misrepresented their characters and ability to pay for
the work done. She enticed Melinda to relocate when all of the work
she was then doing for Raye could have continued to be done remotely.
Her excuse
was her failing health and the problems she was having with the
Powers – Lee Family. She asked Melinda to write a police report,
using her statements on these supposed events at the time. Later,
Melinda realized Raye had completely misrepresented the situation.
Raye failed
to honor any of the promises she made to Melinda and then tried to
evict her while Melinda believed she was still working for Raye,
doing advertising.
It appears
she wanted Melinda in Ohio for reasons other than any having to do
with her representations.
At one
point, in November of 2012, she exclaimed to Melinda,
“I should have not let them talk me into having you come out here.”
Melinda asked her what she
meant. She refused to discuss it, walking away.
Other
individuals we believe to be involved include Craig Franklin,
previously Senior Vice President, Green Hills Software, Inc., now CTO
of Firefly CU LLC, a company in which Green Hills Software is
invested and holds a board position.
Craig and
the president of GHS carried out a
“Throw Mama from the Train”
ploy to deny Melinda her marital share of stock in the company
granted to Franklin. In return, Dan O'Dowd, GHS President, was able
to obtain full ownership of the company, then worth 350 million in
1998 for only 47 million.
Franklin
lead a walk out of critical employees while Dan's partner, Glenn
Hightower, was at the company campus in Santa Barbara with his
potential funders.
This was
later litigated. Hightower failed to prevail because he could not
prove a conspiracy existed. [e.]AMERICAN
ARBITRATION ASSOCIATION No. 72Y 180 0960 98,”
a true and exact copy of the originals that are in my possession,
which is a series of documents generated by the law suit filed by
Hightower against Dan O'Dowd over O'Dowd's exercise of their sudden
death partnership agreement on January, 1998. Decision
that unlawful action is not proved.
Franklin
admitted the fraud against Melinda, involving O'Dowd, on a tape made
by Morgan Pillsbury in October, 1999. Transcript.
