There is still $4875 + int  pending in a separate case in which Stephanies birth mother stole money earmarked to be "put
into trust" RE court orders. There has been no explanation because she has thumbed her nose at your authority, not
bothering to respond to a supeona to appear in Court regarding the money and charges of custodial interference.
THE TRUTH IS STRANGER THAN FICTION
The two men who moved with her to Oregon are dead. One she killed herself, (a murder confession??) the other took his own
life after blackmailing her for 7 years. She is a black widow who poisons every life that she touches. Her Priest Father Susan
Smith-Allen
was fired for her involvement with her, even petitioning the Court to "be allowed to share her incarceration" when
Barbara was jailed for committing perjury. Most importantly, she destroyed the lives of myself and my daughter in a selfish (and
almost successful) attempt to gain custody of her.
Most recently she was arrested for being a felon in possession of a firearm
This is a chronicle of the abuse of Domestic Violence laws meant to protect true victims of abuse by a desperate stepmother.
Even testifying that
Shelter From the Storm and SCF told her to stalk me, and managing to enlist the aid of a rogue Priest and a
social worker both victims of abuse themselves.  After a forced separation of 5 years Stephanie and I have been reunited.  We
spent part of our summer together constructing this site, it has been both a healing and empowering experience for us. This is
our story and where possible it will be substantiated by court transcripts and documented evidence.
To date Barbara Bare has been convicted of Mail Theft and Felony Perjury. On November 16th 2006 she was arrested for
being a felon in possession of a firearm. Over
$20,000 of my daughters assets have been stolen and she was forced to
spend the past five years living with an abusive stepfather.

There are
psychological evaluations both prior to and after this event which spoke directly to her historical inability to tell
the truth. There are also
letters in which she readily admits that "I have lied to myself with such conviction that I end up
believing the lie to be truth"

     By the time they come for your child it will be too late

Jean Brookbank, Jerry Buzzard and Elizabeth Clarke-Stern, State Office for Services to Children and Families (SCF):
Perjury,     Falsification of documents, Refusal to comply with BOTH Court Orders and Supeona,      Lying to a State
Representatives
request for information regarding this case.

The Union County District Attorneys Office:
Knowingly making false statements to the court, evidence provided by my
attorney to the
DA's Office disappeared, only to resurface 2 years later in the possession of Barbara -(a convicted perjurer
and mail thief)- surrendered in a civil case clearly marked as my property with the original note still in place.

John DeNault, Union County Clerk of the Court: Using his Official position to influence the Court docketing of my Stalking
Protection Order. Most recently he used an
Officer of the Court to threaten me.

Father Susan Smith-Allen: Fired from St. Peters Episcopal Church for her obsessive involvement with the convicted
perjurer. This would include
 living with Barbara and offering to go to jail with her when Barbara was incarcerated on the
perjury conviction
.

Again the proof will consist of documents produced by the individuals whom I quote, Official Court Transcripts, Court
documents and hard evidence (currently in the possession of my attorney). These are serious allegations (some of
criminal activities) that I have tried to have investigated for the past five years.

Here is the story of our plunge into a web of lies and insanity

I was at a friends house reading the paper. When I saw his obituary I knew something was terribly wrong. I had just
given him notice to move out the week before and now he was dead.  He was Richard Briggs, and he was my wife
Barbara's brother. My first call was to the funeral home, I was told that it was a suicide and offered the proper
condolences. My next call was to the Union Oregon Police Department to ask why we had not been notified, after all
it was her brother and our house that he had killed himself in. I was told that they were not aware that we were the
owners and that Richard Briggs only relative was a sister in Utah. By the end of the day, efforts to find out what was
happening were being rudely rebuffed, by the end of the week I was being threatened with arrest for filing a false
police report if I didn't quit asking questions. I would eventually find out that Richard was Barbara's late husbands
friend who would become her "brother" after her husbands "sudden and unexpected death".

When I married Barbara I had been a single father for 5 years since Stephanie was 1 1/2 years old. I had left the Army
after 9 years to devote my time to raising her. She seemed to be the perfect wife and mother. She had received a

PhD in Physics from Stanford,
where she was a professor. She also had been a Vice-President at Hughes Aircraft
Corp and had assets that included a home in Malibu and a small island as well as the mountain ranch that she lived
in. I had by this time accumulated several rental properties myself, one of them near her brothers home. She would
later tell me that she had seen Stephanie and I working there many times when she and her now late husband would
visit him. At her insistence I quit my job as a boiler operator and began to build as I had always wanted. Soon after we
were married she began to tell me horrific stories of ritual sexual abuse as a child at the hands of her grandfather
and others. At the age of 8 she had been sent to a Texas Reservation (she claimed to be Native American) to live with
them after her parents had adopted her brother Richard Briggs. After years of abuse she became pregnant and had
a son ( my age) that she was forced to give up at birth. A Nun recognized her mathematic abilities and got her
enrolled at Stanford where she got her PhD in Physics. Soon however the stories began to fall apart. She had
claimed to be born in 1940 and to have gone to school in Texas. I would eventually find high school yearbooks from
California from the 1960's and much later her birth certificate which gives the year as 1950. Without the additional 10
years the stories were simply false. In an effort to help her through her (mental) illness I had tried to get her to
counseling but she refused. It was not until the suicide of Richard Briggs that she (we) finally went and she admitted
to her counselor her problems with lying. Per her no suicide contract I was made custodian of the
50 weapons that
she owned, and she voluntarily moved out of the family home in November of 1998. I told her in August 1999 that I
wanted no more contact with her and that I would be filing for divorce. In November a year from the day she moved
out, she came into the house and announced that she was moving back in and would live in the two back bedrooms
and cook and clean for us but not have any contact with  me (
letter and testimony). When Stephanie and I tried to
lock her out, she continued to re-enter our home. When a broken doorknob prevented us from locking her out, I
decided to leave to prevent further confrontation. When I came back several hours later, she had filled the bedroom
she had pleaded to move into with furniture from throughout the house and had begun putting household items
randomly around the house in piles. When I walked into my bedroom, she had moved everything in there as well and
was in my bed in a negligee with herself provocatively exposed. I also noticed the gun under her pillow, it was the 45
Cal. handgun that I kept in my nightstand. I then threw a glass of milk on her at which time she jumped up and began
to scream at me. I did unfortunately hit her with my backpack which had a small bottle of cologne in the pocket
which put a cut on her forehead. At this time my daughter and myself left and went to spend the night in La Grande at
her home (it was Sunday night and I had no cash). Just a few hours later  she used her key to come into this house to
confront me while we were sleeping and would confront me again at the Ranch after telling me she was going to
work. Stephanie and I would spend the next week in a motel while I packed and moved Barbara's things to the
Ranch. With minimal possessions we settled in and prepared for Christmas 1999, it would be our last few weeks
together. During this period, Barbara  was staying at Shelter From the Storm being told that what had happened was
not her fault and quickly learning the language of abuse. At the end of 25 days at Shelter From the Storm, she
emerged as a victim who's past had been erased.  Along with the Priest, she had enlisted the help of Jean
Brookbank, an inexperienced SCF caseworker who would
falsify documents to the Court and to Dr. David Starr in an
effort to prejudice the outcome of the proceedings, erasing my past as well. Jean Brookbank would even
commit
perjury
regarding the removal of my daughter from my home and placement in foster care instead of with relatives
or friends both of which were available. On December 23rd Barbara filed a false police report carefully crafted to
have my daughter placed into State custody. With the cooperation of Jean Brookbank my daughter was then
removed from my home and placed into foster care. Within a few months, I would also be
falsely accused by SCF
(not by Stephanie) of sexual misconduct with my own daughter and by Barbara of being involved in a rape and
murder attempt. When SCF realized the mistakes that had been made it was too late to admit they were wrong. My
daughter was sent to live in another state and I was forced to give up custody to my first ex-wife to avoid a custody
battle with Barbara and the case was closed.

Does the Judge in a restraining order hearing normally swear at and threaten the victim?      This one does!
A Court judgement 9/13/05 in our favor.  Barbara ordered to pay $9000 + atty fees, however after being told there would be
criminal charges for the forging of the car title and pujuring herself about it in Court I have now been told (October 2006)
the DA's office has no interest in pursuing charges. Will this also apply to the most recent charges (Nov 16, 2006) of being
a felon in possession of a firearm?
