Against my advice, due to major red flags, my mom hired a sketchy handyman. He got into her home and bank account. I just had a bad feeling due to several unprofessional incidents. I found his rap sheet in a Facebook group where it was revealed he was violent and had two felony charges currently in court for theft and violence. The experience caused my mom to leave her house and move into assisted living. She doesn’t tell the truth very well so I suspect she gave him a key to her house. We fired him and told him to not come back, even though he had $3,500 of her money with very little work to show. He had done a minor demo on her porch and left a huge mess. He was asking for more money after doing $200 worth of work at most. We are buying the house from her now and haven’t seen hide nor hair of him. I suspect he is in prison again after his 2 trials. His rap sheet was 3 pages long!

Katy, bar the door!! Change all the locks and add recording cameras. That's what I did, you just can't be too safe nowadays. 😮

Marti is a beautiful person inside and out. More power to her.

Why would you ask if she could ever forgive him???

28 years is a mistake. Make it 56 years without parole.

It'd be safe to say everyone should do a background check before letting a stranger into your home, for whatever reason. A sherrif friend of mine did a background check on a guy I had started dating yrs ago and discovered his violent past. He'd twice been convicted in family court for domestic violence and abuse and was going by a fake name. He went to church every sunday and claimed to love jesus.

[@junglekutz5625]

Well I'm sure that claiming to love Jesus is something that alot of folk do. The reality of *knowing someone and who they are at the core starts with you. As there are couples (husband and wife) that have known and lived with each other for decades.....that will do unforgivable things. No-one should need outside assistance when it comes to being privy to a person's true character. In the same light that you can take iniative to have an interest/sexual interest in them. Taking the time to peg their character is also your responsibility.

What your Sheriff friend did is illegal, but I agree that if you can, you should always try to check a person's background. 😂

[@ijfsfv7439]

@@cerorchid no, it isn't illegal. Lol The guy I was dating was going by a fake name. He started acting strange and not long afterwards physically hurt me.There were red flags prior too.. All my sherrif friend did was run his vehicle plate numbers(something he did regukarly in his profession) and an attorney friend of ours looked up the guy (by his real name) in court records when he was at the hall of justice. Criminal records are public information.

[@cerorchid]

@@ijfsfv7439 It is illegal for cops to run background checks on someone for no reason.

Mr. Hansen, get with your old producer & team & make new true crime shows on the more recent things happening. I’m sure you would have a large following! ❤

He has a history that put himself where he is

[@ShimmySha]

He’s getting too old now. I think he wants to retire and rest

[@marleeamato4944]

@@TinasCrazyLife does he, or did he piss someone off that he exposed? I always wondered this.

[@WatersandWilderness]

I was late for work due to Doctor's appointment and my boss began calling everyone - knowing that I would not just skip work or be late. Back then, there weren't cell phones. My boss didn't relax until I walked in the office and explained that I had an early appointment with Doc that I thought would not cause me to be late for work.

[@lenaperez8929]

You should have called in to the office and let them know you were at the Drs. !! Land phone ok ?

[@queenelueme8946]

Come on 28 years? Had he been a black man, he would have gotten a life sentence. Especially with his history of violence. Ridiculous

[@elouise5593]

Nope. I have seen the same amount or less if the perp isn't white.
