Dear Sir,

It has recently come to my attention that one ******** who resides in Anchorage Alaska is and has been involved in on going criminal activities since at least the early 1970?s. The full extent of these activities is unknown to me but I am aware of the following.

Although he resides in Alaska he has claimed residence at *******Springfield Oregon 97477 to avoid registering his vehicles there and to avoid insurance in Alaska. He does not nor has he ever resided at this address. He has also used the address as a mail drop to avoid taxes. This address belongs to my mother ********who is married to this person?s father and has been since the early 70?s. His father *******and his mother have been fully aware of this fraud and his other criminal activities and have allowed it to take place for many years. Much of this mail is sent to ******or ***.

Lately other events that occurred during the 70?s have also come to my attention. When my step father traveled to Anchorage for Doug?s High School graduation in about 1973 or 1974 he discovered a deep freezer full of stolen property at Doug?s address. He and Doug?s step father at the time disposed of this stolen property by sinking it in a lake somewhere out side of Anchorage.

Sometime in 1975 Doug was arrested for interstate transportation of stolen property. He had owned a 4X4 truck that had been totaled and he stole a truck just like it, changed the VIN number and passed it off as the totaled truck. He stole a boat someplace in Alaska and had it crated up and shipped to Seattle, Washington then with a full set of false I.D .including driver?s license and birth certificate he attempted to recover the stolen boat when the ship arrived in port. During transportation someone on the ship knocked a hole in the shipping crate and discovered what was inside. When he came to claim the crate the F.B.I. was waiting for him, he was arrested and convicted of interstate transportation of stolen property for which he did six months in prison. Again his father covered up and disposed of incriminating evidence and other stolen property.

For many criminals, prison serves as nothing more than finishing school for dishonest people and I?m afraid that was true in this case.

Douglas now owns and operates a tanning salon in Anchorage called *****. He was recently investigated by the I.R.S. for tax evasion regarding this business and his business practices. He was claiming his employees as contractors which they weren?t and he was fined for this fraud. This shows in my opinion that his over all character hasn?t changed.

He does deal in the stock market and says that he pays no taxes on the gains unless he takes out the funds. He states that he pays no taxes, meaning he does not withdraw any of the profit, but yet he appears to have plenty to buy all the things he owns. He also owns and pilots an airplane which currently is stored at the Cottage Grove airport. This also is paid for.

At one time he told his Dad that he was worth well over a million dollars. And his father when asked were Doug gets his money replies "I don't know where he gets his money and I don't WANT to know!" His mother who resides in Cottage Grove is also fully aware of his past and present dealings and supports him in this.


Even though this business and what stocks he has is his sole means of support it has also recently come to my attention that he owns lake front property at Ashley Lake in Montana, property in Nevada, and property right off of the run way at the Cottage Grove, Oregon airport. All of this real estate is owned free and clear! He is in the process of building a dock at the Ashley Lake property for his aircraft and is currently building a hanger for his aircraft in Cottage Grove. I strongly suspect that there is criminal activity in both his acquisition of these properties and their use.

Several months ago his father, my step father, was diagnosed with a brain tumor which is unfortunately proving to be fatal. The day after he was operated on Doug showed up at the hospital and convinced his father to revoke and rewrite his will leaving not only all of his property to his three children, but all of my mothers property as well including any property she owned before they were married and any property they owned jointly. Then several weeks ago he showed up again and started taking his father around to different financial institutions where his father and my mother had dealings. He then proceeded to empty out all their joint accounts and cashed in their C.D.s. Basically this has left my mother destitute and forced her to kick her husband out of the house as well as filling a restraining order against Doug. When this was reported to the Local Springfield police they said that this action was a class one theft but so far to the best of my knowledge nothing has been done about it. He has also shown that he is willing to take advantage of his own father?s impaired mental capacity and steal from anyone. I mention this only as further proof of this persons character and his willingness to walk over anyone in his attempt to get what he wants. In short he is an immoral, dishonest person and someone who in my opinion is worthy of further investigation. Knowing that he has had means to acquire false identification as far back as 1975 I also suspect that many of his dealing are done under assumed names or using stolen identities.


Sincerely,

***

A copy will also be sent to the F.B.I. and anyone else I think my be interested or be of help.

Pretty well written - a little colloquial for a letter to an attorney general IMO, but still it gets your point across.
Personally I think if the guy lives in Alaska, vigilantism would be a viable option. So many places to dispose the body.

What results are you expecting to see from this letter?

Unless you can provide proof of ongoing illegal activity, don't count on anyone taking action. The AG doesn't want to be used to settle the score over your dad's will - that belongs in civil court.

That said, I hope you can get that will thrown out. That guy is some piece of work.

Thats the problem. I don't have proof on any MAJOR illegal activity he is involved in, just smaller stuff, though I am SURE he is involved in much heavier stuff....

I guess what I'm hoping for is that while checking on what illegal activities I CAN prove, they will discover what he's REALLY been up too.

Good letter, but the AG needs solid proof, right?

Otherwise, from an English perspective, it sounds kind of odd that it "recently came to your attention" that some of these criminal activities date back to the 70s. How so? Also, runway is a single word when referring to a landing strip. :):)

there are statues of limitations (time limits) for most stuff. many of the lesser items you talk about in the 70's are past the time limitations for investigation/filing charges
so they are probably irrelevant. i don't think they'll help that much with making your point


but it is fine, ship it out like that anyway, it is a coin toss whether they will do anything

Thye cops don't give a crap about it.

Hell, my car was stolen, they found a stripped car, and they found the guy selling parts from it. They tried to meet with the guy once, but he didn't show up, so they never did anything more about it. I doubt they're going to do much about something that may or may not have happened in the 70s.

Fvck the police. Waste of tax money.

Because tax evasion and fraud against the federal government doesn't (seriously) hurt anybody. Getting your likely mentally impaired stepfather to cut you and your siblings out of your inheritance is hurting somebody.
