I Wish I Had Taken This Comment More Seriously

Hi XXXXX and......"new", confusingly named XXXXX. So up til now I have been pretty absent in the whole drama of fwop. Today I get an email from a naturally anonymous person sayng that I have been "found out and congrats on duping the XXXX into paying for your brother's crap even though SURPRISE he gets state assistance. Before you try to deny it you should know this comes from an unimpeachable source. I think the XXXX get what they deserve what they get, I just wanted you to know you're not as slick as you think"So. On the plus side, I guess I can call my dam *self "unimpeachable" since it was me who put on Chris' caringbridge site that we got him on MAPs and applied for SSDI. (which will allegedly pay out starting in July, FYI)Right now, the ONLY "state assisting" Texas does for Chris is 8-12% coverage of certain medications and services. They cover a big fat ZERO dollars of more than $900 in medications (and very little toward many others), a big fat SQUAT for the 3 physicians he must see several times a month, and a big fat BUPKIS on his occupational therapy copays. But if anyone wants their donation back because Chris' out of pocket medical expenses are "only" 90% of $5-7k a month plus a hospital bill nearing half a mil ........you just let me know. I do not want Chris to see this, so feel free to comment like crazy to try and bury this ASAP. I just realized I don't even know if this is true.....someone could have emailed me just to be a bitch, and there's not *really an actual human being out there who thinks my brother doesn't deserve help because of a crappy MAPS benefit inthe smallest allowed by law percentage of benefits. That would certainly be the least of the evils, I think. Either way, I am super super pissed that someone would doubt him or us even with ALL the medical documents and information we've made available...for crap's sake, we signed a release that actually identifies "people from the Internet" so anyone could verify his medical issues. You want more than that, you drag your happy ass to to Seton Outpatient Rehabilitative Services 3 times per week and watch him scream in frustration as he tries to get his brain to relay messages to his broken body.......and then you look HIM in the eye and tell him he doesn't need help.

A Couple Of Things

First, we're happy to report 2 new cases with the FBI were filed today! Keep them coming.

I don't have any news regarding what law enforcement is doing at this time but will update you when we find out more.

AP posted this in the comments:
anemonepie 2 days ago
Supposedly Liz received a Dodge Viper from a local Viper club since she was dying of cancer (only not) and it was her last wish or something...does anyone know if this is true and if so, what happened to *that car? Anyone up to contacting Viper clubs in the Austin area and asking? By the way, if anyone is pissed enough to pursue it, that email she sent about refunding money is basically a promissory note. It would hold up as such in civil court if anyone is interested in going that route.

Thanks for the comment AP! Does anyone have any information you could send us to scamuncovered@yahoo.com. All emails will remain anonymous! Thanks again for all of the help.

Lies Lies and More Lies - Part 1

Thanks to OD, we were able to look at old comments Liz posted.

We found this one particularly interesting:

Elisabeth said...
Oh and, XXX....I am truly sorry so many of you got burned. I feel like it is probably the same story I have heard from a few people already, and if so then yes you got burned badly. It sounds like "that person" was almost sociopathic in their ability to make people think they "needed" things that were really not dire needs after all.
April 12, 2010 12:43 AM

We'll start with the last letter she posted on Caringbridge and point out the LIES.

Liz States:
"The only "falsehood" was my use of his middle name instead of last. I did so to protect his privacy (which worked wonders) and it is the ONLY thing that could be considered dishonest or lacking candidness"

Elisabeth said...
Hello fab ladies. I just wanted to say how much we are loving getting to know all of you. Chris feels so thrilled that a "queerple" (his term....yes, it's for Queer Cripple") could be so accepted and loved on by a community who has no obligation or responsibility to do so. Considering that many of his lifelong friends have begun to drift further away the more it becomes apparent his recovery will be a long, maybe forever, process.......this is REALLY GOOD for him to have "fans".I came home today for 2 days so I can do laundry and catch up on all the crap I ignore while I'm at his apartment taking care of him. (My husband is with him for the 2 days) He says when I get back on Thursday night, he wants me to film a little thank you video message for the ladies here. April 13, 2010 5:45 PM

Keep in mind Liz and Russ did not have another home. They all lived in Chris's Apartment 24/7.

Elisabeth said...
Check it out gals, I used this "one click installation" software.......and only 6 hours later, I have a blog on Chris' site! http://care4chris.110mb.com/blog. He was lobbying hard to call it My Big Fat Greek Homo, but I went with My Brother's Keeper instead.
April 14, 2010 7:12 PM

We all know by now that Liz and Chris are not related. Liz copied and pasted the "Help for Havens" website that Chris' REAL family created for him. It is identical to the Caringbridge site.

Elisabeth said...
XXX, I am married to a totally fab man for 8 years=) He has been a Godsend helping with Chris. He does all of the literal "heavy lifting"! No kids but as soon as my hubby is done with grad school, we will be going at it like rabbits in hopes of progeny-producing! We have 2 dogs and 2 cats, all of whom I miss SOOOO MUCH when I am staying with Chris, but I get to see them during the couple days a week I go home so that's good. Hobbies......well for the last few months it seems like all I have done is participate in Chris' care and treatment. (No complaints!) But even before I wasn't that exciting.......I am a total major bookworm. And a news JUNKIE! Thank God for RSS feeds. I have everything from CS Monitor to TMZ! I sooo love that people here are Ramona Friendly. I can't tell you how much of my childhood was spent in the company of Ramona and Beezus=)
April 17, 2010 12:57 PM

Elisabeth said...
Just for clarification in case anyone thought to start planning for a virtual baby shower......my husband is on a break from grad school because of Chris' needs and care, and realistically will probably not start up again until 2010. Boo. My mom always says between our planning and Chris' only desire to parent beings of a feline nature, she should just give up on grandkids and become a shopping cart lady. Ok now I'm seriously going for that nap. Everyone have a great afternoon.......thanks for making me feel cared about/noticed AP!
April 18, 2010 4:38 AM

According to the State of Texas website, Russ is disabled. We are quite certain he was never in grad school. For those that were not aware, he is also a convicted child molester. He assaulted an 8 year old.

Elisabeth said...
Daisies, I need HELP & opinions & advice, and I need them on the quick.......Chris had an appt at the brack coumadin clinic today. They came out (where I was in the lobby) and told me his ptinr was ONE. So I'm thinking they'll add back the 1mg they took away from his M/W/F dose. He comes out with the papers in his hand, I look and indeed they say, go back to 6mg on M/W/F and stay on the 5mg the rest of the week. I talked to the clinic mgr to make sure I understood the new dosage........then took him to starbies and then home.After a few minutes at home just now, he says "so I hope that loading dose they gave me will sort out my ptinr"Of course this is the first I've heard of this. I asked him what the aitch he was talking about & he said at the clinic they asked him if he had taken his regular coumadin dose today and he said no.......so they told him to SKIP the regular dose today and take the loading dose of 12mg there.The only problem is that Chris was WRONG, he HAD already taken his 5mgs of coumadin at 10am today, and nobody at the clinic thought to double check or ASK ME, the person whom they *know dispenses all of his medications.So NOW the boy has had 17mgs of coumadin in 4 hours. I am freaking *out.I called right away and bitched at the clinic mgr, as I have mentioned to him that while Chris may look great and has made incredible strides, his brain is still severely injured and he, the mgr, should always always *always check with me, my husband, or my mom when it comes to any answers or info provided by Chris.Now I'm scared to death Chris is going to sneeze and all of his blood will come flying out. I asked them if we should bring him tothe ER or even back to the coag clinic.......but they insisted he would be fine as long as I watched him carefully. Any medical professionals (XXX, you could not BE any higher in our Book of Awesome, but if you have an opinion?? I'd be so so grateful) who want to weigh in? I'm scared the clinic mgr is down playing this because they scared their error could really hurt my brother.Sorry to rant but am very nervous about this........=(

This comment just pisses us off. Who goes on the Internet when they are really in a medical crisis? Claudia (Chris' Mom) has stated to numerous people that Liz and Russ did not properly care for Chris. We believe it. This is classic attention seeking behavior, in our humble opinion.

LETS MOVE ON.....

Liz also states on her last Caringbridge post; "I did not ever ASK for help from anyone except MckMama- and I had only asked her to post a prayer request on Twitter."

Elisabeth said...
Hi ladeeeeez!!I'm home for one night as I *must do laundry. Both asking my brother to borrow a pair of his tighty whities and then febreze'ing a dirty pair of my own when his did NOT FIT...both go in the White Trash hall of fame. I'm going back tomorrow to go to dr trestor's with Chris........his posturing and uncontrollable violent shaking is just getting impossible to deal with. Thanks to the person who sent the donation which is allowing us to make this visit. It was so sweet and unexpected.......and could not have come at a better time. Speaking of......I was trying to think of a project I could do to quickly help with June's expenses. He starts getting his SSDI in July so June will be the last month where his expenses are such a huge burden for us. Anyway, I was thinking of doing one of those hardback books you can make yourself at wallgreens for like $12...a book of "the wisdom of daisies". I thought I could sell them for maybe $16.....What do y'all think? I am not only open to fundraising ideas, I am begging for them!! If you can think of any project I might be able to turn around quickly.....please let me know!!Thanks for letting me bitch & whine these last few days. I have been so overwhelmed with Chris' backpedaling progress and resulting extreme frustration.I feel hopeful about his appt with dr trestor tomorrow.....he isn't one of Chris' neuro or stroke doc....he's a family doc/general physician. He really cares about our family and I really hope he will be creative if necessary and just do something to *help my poor brother. His side is purple and bruised because his left arm/hand (which is closed into a tight fist) shales so violently and flails around, he hits himself in the side and stomach. It is so powerful, I usually can't hold him back without him hitting ME, and now he won't even let me try to hold his arm back because he feels so guilty for accidentally belting me a couple times.Please everyone who is inclined, say a prayer that tomorrow will bring some much needed reflief for Chris. Wah-hooo...24 finale!!
May 24, 2010 8:01 PM

A couple of things to point out: 1. Chris' Dad paid for all therapy. No donations went to this per Chris' Mom. 2. Liz knew at this point that Chris was going back to live with his Mom mid-June so she is getting desperate.

Elisabeth said...
Hello my lovely loveleez. I see we're all still debating intelligently, still white trash, and still gargantumongously pregnant. Collectively, we're a whole season of Judge Judy. THANK YOU times infinity plus 5 to the 3 sweet daisies who sent donations today. Chris was out of some medication this morning and *would have run out of more this weekend.......but thanks to you precious ladies and your sacrifices on my brother's behalf......we were able to pick up everything from walgreens and medsavers that was filled,It had been a super rough few days. Chris has started to have sone type of separation anxiety from me and doesn't want anyone but me to care for him. I had to sit down and explain to him that my current schedule of 5/7 days pet week already has me stretched to the limit emotionally and physically. I guess this is the down side to re establishing our BFF relationship that we had before I got married and he started working so hard. It was brutal to have him ask, but I thought we had so much fun cutting up and raising hell..?? I explained it was just the physical harshness of sleeping on a 15 yr old couch for so many days and missing my dogs......and my husband, who is Chris' 2nd choice is always there on the 2 days I'm not there. I told him I love him dearly and will forever be grateful for just the CHANCE to care for him given his initial prognosis of certain death......but that I can't sacrifice my marriage for him. He grudgingly agreed to have mom stay some nights and a couple of friends stay the odd night. Please pray that I can stick to my guns about these decisions and that we can skate through the month of June financially. July, our exodus from these crushing financial pressures.......*cannot come quickly enough.Thank you again to a certain preggo and a certain eloquent equestrienne and a *certain owner of a redneck cat toy.......for easing that burden a bit today. I thank God every day for leading me through the valley to the River Vile!!
May 28, 2010 10:04 PM

Liz stated only 2 donations came in after the huge rush. This comment states otherwise.

Elisabeth said...
XXX......Chris says even tho he is *so not in the mood to be poked, he can't resist a-pokin' from his best flouse. (that's Fake Lesbian Spouse for the uninitiated)We went over to the folks' this afternoon before heading back to the apartment and it was a brutal, brutal talk. Everything we suggested (like trying to get in a group care a few days a week, trying to find a different apartment so that hubs & I can *both be there and not forced to spend so little time together) he immediately shot down without even a slight consideration toward compromise. I know he has had to give up SO much and that his life is unrecognizable now.....but telling him that he was going to *have to compromise so hubs & I can work (doing something that actually pays) was still harder than I thought. I really don't think he had considered that while we have been putting ALL of our financial resources toward HIS needs.......we've obviously been neglecting our own. Which is fine.....we made a decision to put his needs first and abided by it until there was nothing left to allocate. But I guess I thought he would realize that *eventually we were going to have to go back to actual paying jobs. It was like we were telling him someone had died, or some other shocking and devastating news. He totally freaked at the thought of adult day care......his eyes immediately filled with tears and he had the most pathetic, broken hearted face as he croaked out "DAY care..?? You would put me in DAY CARE??"Oh it was hideous. I love him so much, we ALL do....and truly wish I could give in to his every whim, let him stay in his happy little sunny apartment and keep taking care of him with my mom and my hubs.....have him keep kicking butt in physical & occupational therapy. That would be great. And unfortunately I really think this is the way he thought things would be. Today was a harsh eye opening for him and a wrench of a heart breaker for me and the rest of us.I'm still hoping that we can make it to July because while the SSDI money won't be a cure all, it'll be a "fix a hell of a lot".I feel like all I ever do here is bitch about the difficulties of this situation. I know it must get tired and by this point I must sound like the teacher from Peanuts. But please know that you all are my sounding board and the pillow my ass lands on when my feet get ahead of my brain (often) and I really and truly appreciate *every single one of you. XXXX......I am so sorry for the troubles you are dealing with. I don't know a lot about fungal pneumonia but I know it is often crippling to your breath in both intensity and frequency of respirations. I hope you are receiving quality medical care and that progress will be swift and complete.
May 31, 2010 2:16 AM

We know from multiple sources that this is in fact a conversation that went the other way meaning it was finalized that Chris would move back in with his Mom and Liz and Russ would be kicked out of Chris's apartment. Furthermore, Liz and Russ did not have jobs prior to the stroke. These are all lies!

Elisabeth said...
XXXXX......I have mentioned this but not in awhile so don't feel bad.....it doesn't make sense for Chris to live with us because of two main reasons. The first being, we only have a small 1 BR bungalow, the tiny 2nd room was walled out for more living space by the previous people. There's just nowhere to put him. Second, we sold our car when he was in-patient for post ICU rehab. It was $1,000 per day and after selling HIS car and liquidating his savings there was still not nearly enough. Thank God he had never sold his old Honda, we use it for all of his appointments even tho it's a bitch for him toget in/out of, poor thing. Anyway, his apartment is literally RIGHT next to the 38th st medical district. We have his GP, main neuro, both pharmacies, occupational therapy, & physical therapy all within a stone's throw. If we DID have room at my place (or if my parents' home wasn't such that he simply cannot navigate it with stairs everywhere) then we no doubt would have moved him out already. But seeing how difficult travel is on him.....even just 20-25 miles, it's good that we're so close to all the people and places he has to visit everyweek.Nobody in their 30s would want daycare. But I think it's especially scary for him because cognitively he IS "mostly there". Although he has some memory issues and sometimes can't see the forest for the trees, he can and does still talk about politics, the economy, animals, movies, ect. We're not even sure we could get him a placement in adult day care because he *is so "there" mentally.I really think if we can just make it to July, we'll "make it", period. His apartment and meds are the biggest expenses and thank God, his monthly SSDI will cover them both.Because of being so "high functioning" mentally (especially compared to where he was immediately post-coma) so far he has not qualified for any care services. As soon as his Medicaid starts in July, he will start getting 3 days a week of home health care. If we can keep him in his place this month......that is going to seem like freaking CHRISTMAS!! ("only" having to split up 4 days a week with mom & hubs)I feel like such a bitch for writing yet another novel when we are giving notice to one of the most somber "holidays" we have......thank you Veterans and Veterans families......but also the impending arrival of La Petite XXXX! (I know it's because of emergencies that women in labor can't eat. But can't they give y'all TPN or something?? It seems so barbaric to force a women to engage in the most calorie-burning activity *ever.....with no rehydration or food)Anyway ladeeez......if Chris' video didn't make you check your blood pressure, then maybe my self indulgent rants will. I can't believe I had to watch my brother, a short while ago a strapping 6 ft tall man in his 30s....weep as he realized adult day care might be a possibility. If 2 minutes in the CVS blood pressure chair can save you or someone you love from being on either side of this fence......please God, do it.May 31, 2010 12:11 PM

Liz and Russ never had a bungalow nor did they have a car they sold to help pay for expenses for Chris. They actually used Chris's car during all this time.

OK, enough drama for one day. I'm literally sick to my stomach reading some of it. There are so many details to this scam so please be patient as we try and update more freqeuntly. We have over 80 pages of comments to go through.

Thank you again to OD and the countless individuals who have come forward and helped us with this endeavor.

Quick Update

Sorry we have not posted recently. It's not for lack of material, rather a lot has been going on in respect to Liz as well as our real jobs and getting the kids off to school. A big thanks to everyone who has been sending e-mails and keeping us updated on your efforts. We will be updating the site this weekend, however this is some of what we know right now:

1. Individuals are still filing reports to the FBI (even as of yesterday).

2. Chris' Mom has confirmed the following to several individuals:

• Liz and Russ did not have another house they lived in.
• Liz is in no way, shape, or form related to Chris. Chris worked for Liz's Mom.
• They encouraged Chris to keep his apartment in February and said they would care for him.
• Instead of "Caring for Chris" they ran up bills, used his money for take-out food daily and did not have the proper resources to help him as initially discussed when he decided to stay at his apartment.
• They used Chris's car as the car they owned was not working (they never sold it as previously stated, nor did they sell Liz's engagement ring to help for Chris's care.)
• $2,000 was all that was found after reviewing his bank account in the form of donations sent to Chris.
• Liz asked that checks be made out to Chris Michael (his middle name). Someone then added his last name to the checks and forged his signature.
• Neither Liz nor Russ were employed at the time (Liz had stated they both quit their jobs to help Chris)
• A $1000 gold necklace was stolen from Chris's apartment while they were living with him. (A police report was filed)
• Liz and Russ have not been seen since mid-June, when Chris went to live with his Mom.
• A Wii was never sent to Chris that we know of. His parents bought him one.
• Chris' Dad payed for all rehabilitation. None of the money collected (that we know of at this point) went towards this.

3. From what we have gathered, Liz and Russ are now living with Liz's Mom. Russ recently updated his address (after everything was discovered) for his parole officer which is now public.

4. Liz never sent out another e-mail in regards to paying back the money she scammed from people as she originally told people she would. To our knowledge, no one has heard from her.

We will post more this weekend. Thank you again to all the individuals who continue to e-mail us with new information.

Elizabeth's Last Post on The Caringbridge Site for Chris.

So. Today is the day everyone "found out".

My first instinct? Was to virtually run like hell, close this site down and never look back. I just do not want to DEAL with this, and I certainly don't want to put it on Chris' shoulders to deal with. So I will record a statement here, everyone who wants to form a guestbook lynch mob may do so, and ultimately everyone leaves having gotten to speak their mind.

Yes, Chris has a record. One incident from his 20s, many years ago. He met someone online who lied about their age. He corresponded online with this person, then met them in person one time, found out about their real age, and never saw or spoke to them again. And he is still paying for it. A lot. I am not excusing his stupidity. Even in the mid 90s people knew you couldn't just accept that so-and-so was Johnny Doe, age 18, simply because he said so. The main reason I am posting something here is because someone referenced Chris' donations as "a scam". I am stating categorically that nothing could be further from the truth.

The only "falsehood" was my use of his middle name instead of last. I did so to protect his privacy (which worked wonders) and it is the ONLY thing that could be considered dishonest or lacking candidness. Regarding donations. The ENTIRE amount donated was paid to Alori Property Management, Reliant Rehabilitation Center, Walgreens Pharmacy, and Medsavers pharmacy. Some of it was used to buy him food and a brace for his shoulder. We have records and receipts of everything. I guess I naively thought if anyone ever DID find out...they would pretty much take the same attitude that the excellent ICU staff took: Chris' long-past transgressions are NOT a reason to deny him proper care, love, or necessities. I mean I KNEW people would be mad...I guess I just hoped they'd get past it. Like I said..(​.​.​n​a​i​v​e​) (I can't figure out what that was supposed to say...sorry). I am not sure what to do for anyone who disbelieves that Chris actually HAD a stroke. Given his videos and all of the hospital photos, I would hope nobody DOES think that. But for the record, his treating neuro at Seton Medical Center was Dr. Liang. His managing general physician was Dr. Eliot Trestor of Central Family Practice in Austin, Texas. After leaving Seton, he went to Reliant Rehabilitation Center, and now that he is home he sees a MAP doctor, his attending physican is Dr. Yao of the Paul Bass Clinic and his outpatient rehabilitation is done at Seton Outpatient Medical Services. In between seeing the rehab-based doctors and being assigned to the MAP physician, he was treated by Dr. Andrea Raymond of University of Texas Brain & Spine Center.

Also for the record, we recieved only two donations after the "rush" of donations came in and the May expenses were paid. Both from the same person in Kansas. Oh and we recieved a beautiful 8x10 photograph by "XXX (name protected for privacy)". I know the people who are angriest will stay angry. I am sure most everyone will say I should have disclosed Chris' record before accepting any donations. But we all know the reality is that nobody would have helped him if I had done that. I did not ever ASK for help from anyone except MckMama- and I had only asked her to post a prayer request on Twitter. Maybe when the person from MWOP asked me to post the web site address there instead, I shouldn't have- knowing something like this was inevitable. But as anyone who watched Chris' video and heard my input about seeing him on life support, not knowing if he would make it, and seeing him struggle SO mightily when he did...I was not going to turn down help for him.

The money that was donated helped get him back in therapy quickly and even though his progress has stalled NOW, at that time he advanced well in numerous occupational tasks which helped him in so many ways- both practical and emotional. I will close by saying this: I will post here (in the gallery) records and receipts so that everyone can personally verify where the donations went. I know most places will not release medical info but I am reasonably sure many will provide financial data if we sign a release stating they can. (Which we will)

I understand if people are angry with me, but I beg and beseech everyone not to take anything out on him. While the average person may not have transgressions in their past of the same magnitude of Chris', everyone DOES have times in their lives when they desperately wished they'd have done things differently. Chris is no different in regard to his past mistake, and I am no different in any errors I made handling that information.

Lastly, I know Chris' type of offense brings about major emotions no matter how long reformed the person is. That said, I understand if anyone wants their donation back. Obviously I would not ask Chris to repay anything as his social security will only cover basics, but I myself will reimburse anyone wishing to have me do so. In the next few days I will be sending an email to everyone who donated via PayPal as well as the few people who sent things through the mail. If you want your donation back, all you have to do is say so. I can't guarantee I won't close this site again if people are just TOO horrendous.

I may have made mistakes but I WAS only trying to help someone I love and want the best for. Even though I know people are upset, to a certain extent I can only be "so" apologetic because I know I wouldn't refuse help for him given a second chance. I can't promise it won't take a couple months but I can promise not to refuse ANYONE who wants to be reimbursed for their donation, no questions asked. If you ave not recieved an email from me by this weekend and you donated to Chris' expenses, please leave a comment here. (site no longer up to leave a comment)

I won't sign off with any "let he who is without sin..." chatter. People are pissed and I know it. I expected it; that's why I never said anything in the first place and actively tried to keep Chris' last name private. But I am human- so is he, and so are you. If you want your donation returned it's one thing...but beyond that I ask that people not waste a great deal of time or effort flaggelating me for trying to help one of the most important people in my life and my family's lives. I'm not sorry for not disclosing all of Chris' "dirt"...but I truly AM sorry for the people who are upset and hurt because of it.

Things that make you go hmmmm. We will add our comments later as there are many things we have found to be untrue in this post. At this time, we'd ask that we keep this blog about Liz and what she has done. While we don't condone Chris's actions in any way, shape or form; this site is about Liz.

Elizabeth And The April Rose Scam

Many people have asked "How was Elizabeth involved with Beccah and the April Rose Scam?" Elizabeth created the blog "My Thoughts On April Rose" (still available as of today). She went by the screen name EJ Saddler. Below is some of what she has to say on the matter? Ironic? We think so. Elizabeth has deleted many of the posts however there still are a few on her site. I would imagine this site will be deleted soon however we have screen shots.

FROM THE BLOG
Just the facts, ma'am:
I am just one of the masses who was duped by Rebeccah Rose Beushausen aka "Beccah" aka "B" aka "April's Mom". Most of us are finely tuned nowadays when it comes to recognition of online scams, but this girl is such a professional con, she "got" many of us, and got us good. This is my little space to vent about the feelings I am experiencing throughout this story unfolding, as well as detail my continuing observations and thoughts on her blog posts and "apology"/statements to the media. My email is ejsaddler@gmail.com. I welcome all correspondence and while I do not have time to reply in-depth to everyone, I do try and at least acknowledge each person individually.

This is an Update from Elizabeth. We are not sure when she updated this.
UPDATE:I had a little blurb here meant to disguise my identity due to the fact that I didn't want the scam-happy subject of this blog knowing my personal info. But someone saw fit to "out" my real name...so I guess it doesn't serve much of a purpose to have a pseudonym here. I will continue to use the ejsaddler@gmail email address, so if anyone wants to address me by name and feels like honoring rules of internet privacy as well as common courtesy and ethics by NOT using my real name, you can simply use "ejsaddler" or "ej". I know that most everyone knows my real name, but for continuity purposes/new readers, please refer to me as "EJ" in the comments here, otherwise new readers may be confused. Thanks so much for this consideration.

How Much Did You Donate?

Elizabeth stated that she received around $2,000 in donations. We have many reasons to believe this is untrue.

Commenter's mentioned the amounts they donated to Elizabeth on other sites however we wanted to dedicated a post to this so that it is all in one place. If you sent gifts or any other items, please comment as well.

If you are not comfortable posting here, feel free to email us at scamuncovered@yahoo.com.

This request came to us by email from one of our readers who will remain anonymous. Thank you! We welcome suggestions, facts, and any other information you think will help in our endeavors.

The Day Of Truth - Elizabeth Adkisson

The moderators of this site want to notate that both MWOP and OD were scammed just like the rest of us. Both blog authors called hospitals, apartment complexes and other available resources to check out the story. The story was true; a 39 year old man named Chris did indeed have a stroke and did have many medical and financial needs. On or around Tuesday, August 10, 2010, the moderators at both blogs discovered while the story was true, Elizabeth Adkisson had many things she was hiding. Below are posts from the Blog Authors of MWOP and OD.


Wednesday, August 11, 2010 (A Message From MWOP)
Care4Chris
I'm so sorry. Let's start there. The back story: a reader left a comment months ago about a tweet from someone who wanted MckMama to retweet prayers for her brother. Readers here felt badly for the sister, who shared her story on MWOP. I reached out to the sister, Elisabeth, and offered to put a picture up of her brother in hopes it would help raise money for his expenses after a serious stroke. I vetted the story to an extent. I called the apartment complex and the physical therapy office to confirm he was a patient there. He was. Since Elisabeth offered ways to donate money to companies that were not direct contributions to her account, I put the picture up. Here we are, months later, and we found out yesterday that Elisabeth is actually Elizabeth and has ties to MckMama and April Rose. Chris is indeed a stroke victim, but he's also a convicted sex offender. On top of that, they're not related. I was extremely pissed off. Why would someone lie about this? Why lie at all? I would have donated money if I had known they were friends and not related. Why the hell would you lie about that?As for the sex offender part, I don't have much to say, but I think plenty about it. It's beyond disappointing and I hate that anyone had to find out this way.The money did go to a man who suffered a serious stroke and was in need of financial help. At least he wasn't a blow up doll, right? Again, I'm sorry. I trusted someone and was duped. It felt pretty shitty and it will be a while before I take anything online at face value again. If you donated money, Elizabeth should be returning it to you. If you have not heard from her in a month, please leave me a comment and I will send you any contact information I can find on her.

(OD posted 2 previous entries about this however they were deleted by mistake. She has since hidden most of the posts from May and June so that Liz cannot go back and delete her comments.)

Sorry but I dont want this buried
So we all know by now the drama that is Elisabeth or Elizabeth Adkisson and her scamming scheming ways.Well how about the fact that she allowed her "friend" Chris to be thrown under the bus when his past was discovered?How about how she has sent out all these emails and seems to believe that people are more pissed about Chris then they are with her and her lies and deception.What about her husband? Pretty much what we know right now is that he is much older then her, in on this scam, oh and did I mention he has a record as well...registered with the State of Texas Sex Offender Registry?Oh you didnt know so much about that last part well here ya go:https://records.txdps.state.tx.us/DPS_WEB/SorNew/PublicSite/index.aspx?PageIndex=Individual&IND_IDN=7167592&SearchType=NameSick people all of them......this is just getting to the point of ridiculous and disgusting.And so help me if people start with the goddamn finger pointing and bullshit again...guess what you didnt do any checking and those that began with this helping hand, Lisa and MWOP, did check with what they had. If you want to point fingers do it in the goddamn mirror please and thank you!

Opportunity For Elisabeth To Tell Her Side Of The Story

The moderators of this blog sent a "GENTLE" Email to Elisabeth with the opportunity to tell her side of the story. I think most of us know the facts at this point and we will be posting them in the coming days. Below is the Email sent to Elisabeth with no reply back.

From: Scam Uncovered scamuncovered@yahoo.com
To: help.for.havens@gmail.com; liz_adkiss@yahoo.com

Elisabeth,
I am one of several moderators at the new website created about you. Before further posts are added, I wanted to give you the opportunity to tell your side of the story.

I believe that you may have had good intentions in helping Chris with financial support.
I believe you never intended for anyone to find out and/or be hurt by you actions.

Unfortunately, many people feel scammed and given the fact that you quickly removed the Caringbridge Site, Twitter, and deleted your e-mail account, this has raised further speculation. As you know, all information is still out there. Many people received your email over the weekend regarding the refund, but have not heard from you again and are upset that you did not stick to your word in regards to this.

Again, this is an attempt to let you tell your side of the story and hopefully end the mess for good. I hope you think about this and respond from your heart. Maybe your intentions were good. Maybe all the money went to Chris and his therapy. If that is the case I know that I would want to tell my side of the story. If I have not heard back from you by the end of the day, I will assume that you do not want to comment further.

How Liz Came to MWOP

This is a post I found by ElisabethBrothersKeeper on June 17, in response to the topic of Mckmama dreaming about Obama.

The person who first opened my eyes about Mckmama and brought me to this site has been in the UK for awhile and I don't think she's supposed to be back until the end of summer. But I would LOVE her input on these "conversations". I remember when JM posted the small fry "quotes" about "is the baby in your 'summy'? Is there breast milk in your 'nippo'?" ect and at that time at least.....She said that JM must be making it up because she had just been at the church at the same time as JM/family......and she said small fry was not NEARLY so verbal. She said it was a total joke that JM expected anyone to believe that SF (at that point at least, she is probably a bit more verbal now I imagine) spoke remotely that well. She also made what I thought was an excellent point......she said JM must have few or no real life, off line friends.....as they would call her on things like that right away.

Anyone know who this “person”is? This is the end of the summer, so she should either be back or coming back soon. That is if “she” even exists…

I am So Sorry…

While trying to figure out how to add meta tags, I somehow screwed up the template. As a result I accidentally deleted all the comments. Damn Disqus! I apologize, I am in no way a “professional blogger” and may need some help from people who know what the heck they are doing. I will never delete comments or ban people here.

ANOTHER Alias???

Isn’t this interesting? Seems Elisabeth also has the name Elisabeth Michael.

8/2010 Liz sends out the following email -

"Please excuse if you have received this more than once-I had a hard

time getting the BCC function to work correctly;
---------------------------------------------------------------

This message is for people who donated to Caring For Chris via MWOP
and OD. Because we know that most people would likely not have donated
had they known Chris' offender status, we decided the best thing to do
was just to refund everyone. This is the first of two group emails
and you MAY receive the second one as well if you donated twice. We
are just doing this to make sure we don't have any "dead" emails.
Sometime before the end of the weekend, you will get an email with the
amount you donated and the date which we aim to have your
reimbursement processed on. Because Chris generously received about
$2,000 in PayPal donations, we expect it will take between 4-6 weeks
to get everyone's refund.
We'll write everyone individually to let them know when their specific
reimbursement has been processed.
Lastly, I am including a small set of photos. I know nothing will
humanize Chris to many people and that is ok, I just want to show how
human he is to US. These photos include him being "man of honor" at my
wedding, me giving him his beloved cat Eli for Christmas of 2000, and
him, me, and grandma waiting at the congress avenue bridge for all the
bats to fly out.
I am not trying to lessen anyone's anger over how I've handled things
or disgust over Chris' offense. I simply want to share my love for
what is, to me, a special and unique person who should not be defined
by past mistakes.
Again I thank everyone who helped Chris through a difficult and
draining time. I have expressed to him that some people may want proof
from HIM directly that he received all the money and he says just let
him know what he needs to do.
This email address is only for matters regarding reimbursements."
