My hunting partner's daughter, (I've known her since she was born) got into a bad marriage. Her husband turned out to be a crack head. He stole and pawned everything he could to get drugs while they were married. When she found out she got rid of him. He kept coming back and interfeering in her life. He did not care about the kids, he just used them to get back into her life. After repeatedly causing her to lose her job, and all kinds of other grief, she got a restraining order for him to stay away from her and the kids permantely. He lost all parential rights, the last time he was sent to prison.
Today the girls are 9 and 7. She has remarried, and started a new life. Her new husband loves the girls, and is a real father to them. He has never met or seen the Ex. We all think the world of this guy. He is a very successful business man and author.
Last week her Ex was released from prison. He was reminded by his probation officer, he was not to go near his former family.
Last night her new husband heard the motion detector going off. They live up on the side of a mountain, in a heavily wooded area. He has had Bear problems with bears coming up onto the deck, so he installed a motion detector out there. The alarm is in his bedroom. He peaked out the curtain and saw a man sneaking along the deck, heading to the girls bedroom door. The one with the pink ponies stuck on the glass. He grabbed an aluminium Ball Bat, and went out on the deck. Knowing as soon as he opened the door the intruder would be alerted. He jerked the door open and was immediately attacked by the intruder. Needless the say the intruder lost the battle. Broken nose, broken jaw, missing teeth, broken arm, and several broken ribs. Wife comes out, identifies intruder, saying he had threatened to kidnap the girls when he got out of prison. New husband sent her back inside, to call police. He then dragged intruder over to high end of deck. Hung him over the rail, threatening to let him fall 35ft onto rocks, head first. When intruder started begging for his life, new husband informed intruder what would happen next time.
When police got there intruder was identified by the wife. The police officers quietly commented, "And you let him live"? Police found intruders finger prints on girl's door handle and glass in door. Attempted kid-napping charges are being sought against intruder. Maybe he will get a trip to sunny Arizona this time. Alaska sends it's overflow down there to stay with Sheriff Joe.
