The Corruption of a Minor and Stealing of my Grandson

As often happens during and after a terrible divorce, children are
taken hostage and attempts to turn them against the opposing
parent, made. This is what happened in the Presco family. Vic and
Rosemary fought over their four children till the day they died.
Vicki was a real victim of this as her father told her she was his
only true child, her siblings nothing but the product of Rosemary's
infidelities. I grew distant from Vicki when she chose to believe
this in order to own power over her siblings, and to enrich herself.
Vic was making allot of money in his loan business, and Vicki was
his general manager. Then came the American Express Partnership
which made Vic & Vicki big players in the Art World, she almost on
equal footing with her famous sister whose shadow she had lived in
for many years.

After Christine's death, Vicki did not see her father for three
months. She had turned over her undying family loyalty to Garth, who
was trying to become Special Executor, and thus IN CONTROL of it
all. When Jacci Belford, the second named executor after Vicki, told
me how glad she was Vic was not going to get his prints back, I knew
Vicki had become an ally of Garth. Garth was now the most important
family member in Vicki's eyes, now that her sister was dead.

When I was twelve, I pulled a knife on my father when he came into
our home, drunk, he weaving into the furniture. There was a
restraining order against him because he used to beat our mother
black and blue in front of us. He ordered Vicki to pack a suitcase
as he was taking her to grandma's. When I told him Rosemary gave me
strict orders to not let him take Vicky anywhere, he came at me. I
ran into the kitchen and got a big butcher knife and held it towards
him, then ordered him out of the house. He took one step towards me,
and I held my ground. I saw murder in my father's eyes. He left in a
rage, to continue his drunken driving without Vicki in the car.

To learn that people close to my sister encouraged her to drop her
guard and allow Mr. Garth Benton an opportunity to make amends, is
alarming, as this attempt has been carefully concealed. This
concealment highly suggests something went terribly wrong. That Drew
has been silenced about this reconciliation, is also very alarming
for several reasons: Was she taken hostage, there a fight over her,
and if so, is her innocence being used to hide grave family secrets,
there so many more terrible things having to be done in order to
protect her from the trauma of witnessing her mother's death? Did
she see her father do something insane?

This may be the case, but, does this protection extend to the
necessity of divulging other family secrets in a biography, and
later broadcasting them on the silver screen, so that the Executor
can pay off the Creditors, and have something left over to give
Drew ? and Shannon ? who did not get to know about the attempt at a
reconciliation, like drew did. If you recall, Vicki and Drew were
sitting side by side when Vicky told Mrs. Layne about Alan Foxe's
invitation. Drew is now twenty, and does not want her half-sister to
own any secret information about their mother, secrets that adults
want her to keep so she will have power over Shannon.

One can suggest that once the movie had been made form the biography
then John Q. Public will accept the version of the truth that is
making a millions bucks. This could be seen as a cover-up. Most
psychologist know how destructive Family Secrets are. I will talk
about that later.

Here is evidence of how the secret meeting between Garth and
Christine, has all but destroyed my family, corrupted my daughter,
and taken my grandson hostage. I was Christine's Big Brother, the
one who came to protect her, and her reputation. When some guy was
spreading the rumor she was a slut in Junior high School, it was I
who came and sought him out, and knocked him to the ground.

Shamus claims he did not read Tom Snyder's biography that vilifies
Christine, makes her out to be a raving and violent lunatic. Snyder
told me he had spoken to three lawyers about the biography I had in
the works, and said they wanted to make things difficult for me if I
did not sign the Exclusive Rights contract he sent me, so I could
not tell my story. My family had blessed my bigorpah6y until in a e-
mail to Vicki Presco, I began to ask more questions about what
happened at Rocky Point.

This constitutes a cover-up by Vicki, Shamus, Garth and Stacey
Pierrot who hired Tom Snyder as a Ghost Writer. How dare she be
permitted to use the title `Custodian' of my families artistic
legacy. If I was present at Rocky Point, no way would my sister have
ended up in the ocean ? nor my niece Drew - which I doubt! I think
Drew and Shamus were off looking for lizards, or up in the main
house playing video games. Did Garth and Christine take a romantic
walk down to the sea?

Shamus Dundon is Vicki's son who told lies about what he was doing
when the rogue wave struck. In e-mails we exchanged, he knows I am
trying to find out who owned that house, yet he never goes and asks
his mother. Why? Because he knew why they were there, and knew Alan
Fox was the owner.

Here is Shamus withholding information from me as to the whereabouts
of my daughter, and the fact she is pregnant, he saying I deserved
to lose contact with Heather for two years because I am so
accusatory and negative in regards to asking questions about
Shamus's actions and whereabouts at Rocky Point.

If Shamus really wanted me to makes amends with him, and maybe his
Mom, then all he had to do was come clean, and tell me the truth.
Why didn't he tell me he and his mother were wrong for withholding
the truth from me, and then apologize to me - and my daughter? Was
keeping this a secret really worth losing me as a family member?
This makes me wonder if there was more at stake. Why deny Heather an
opportunity to have a father, and her son a grandfather? Would it
be such an inconvenience to Alan Fox if I knew he invited Christine
and Garth to Rocky Point to reconcile their bond?

Shamus didn't even want me to know I was going to be a grandfather,
yet he kept on protecting an outsider, a total stranger to me - and
MY family. I wonder if Alan Fox feels bad about the terrible riff he
helped make in my family? Why doesn't he come forward and put an end
to it? Where was he when the infamous rogue wave struck? Was he
helping Shamus run down lizards?

Mom called me last night after getting an email from Heather.
Heather was very upset about the things you said to her. Mom was
ticked off at me, accusing me of stirring things up by having
Heather contact you, so she wanted me to write Heather to advise her
what to do about it. Mom also said she would call Heather in a day
or two to add her 2 cents. I've already advised Heather in an email
last night. I suggested she may want to wait until after the baby is
born to contact you, considering she doesn't need the extra
stress while she's present. At that time, I hadn't read all your
rubbish yet about you thinking I was posing as her. I will write
her another email suggesting she call you only if you write her an
apology. (by the way, write an apology as you would to her, not one
you think is going to me as a fraud) long story short, yes mom does
have her phone number, yes I could get it from her. No I won't give
it to you without Heathers consent. You have her REAL email address
convince her of your intent and maybe not all is lost.

braskewitz@...:

Shamus, do you or Vicki - or any member of my family ? have
Heather's phone number? Lillian told me she heard from Vicki that
Heather was going to have a child. How did Vicki find that out, by
phone, or e-mail? Heather was going to name the baby Lillian-Rose,
thus she hoped it was a girl? She tells me she I am going to have
a "grandson" thus she had a test - hence!

Shamus says he only had two contacts with Heather, but, takes charge
of her and her unborn baby, he taking delight in our falling out. He
then sets up a reconciliation between us. How interesting. These
keepers of the Big Family Secret have empowered and enriched
themselves, and like child-molesters they feel like gods because
they never get caught, because THE PROOF is sealed in the silence of
the lambs. Shamus and Vicki have taken my daughter and unborn
grandson hostage, and are using them to get me to stop seeking the
truth - stop asking questions - and stop doubting family members
love you. "The Lord giveth, and the Lord taketh away."

"I have a clean conscience. I am quite willing to hash out whatever
it is you feel I've wronged you in. Please provide proof , and not
conspiracy theories.

Subject: Re: John
Do you recall exactly when you talked to Heather? Do you think she
was sincere about learning more about you, or, she wanted to learn
more about me?

Jon

"Maybe you should elaborate more on Heather. I've only had 2 phone
conversations with her, and they were both about us learning about
each other as family members. The only thing I mentioned about you,
when she brought you up, was that she should be careful not to feel
to hurt IF you said some mean things out of the blue.(perhaps you
can understand why I might say that.) I never said anything to
discourage her from
associating with you. I have no idea the current status of your
relationship. I haven't talked to her in quite sometime. What did
you mean by "outsider" going after her? Maybe you should tell me
what happened....

Did Shamus come to the rescue of his cousin Shannon when she was
arrested? His MEAN mother filed a police report in order to keep her
there. Shamus claims he does not know about all the mean things said
about OUR family in Tom Snyder's biography. My father suggested
Vicki had taken Garth's side in the divorce. Did Garth invite Vicki
out to Rocky Point to help him bring Christine to her sénces?

I have the second Coroner's report that says Mrs. Presco made the
911 call. After promising to come clean, in regards to my daughter,
Shamus still creating a smokescreen, and embroiling my innocent
daughter and grandson is terrible lies, she too nothing but fuel for
the chaotic Benton Family Smokescreen

"You said in a e-mail you made the 911 call, but the 911 operator
told me a woman made the call, she listening to it when she told me
this! I asked her to send a copy of it to the coroner. I sent off my
report to the coroner - who changed his report, because he was
told you four were hikers on Highway 1. That is the address on the
autopsy report - Highway One! Outrageous! Christine was a guest in a
million dollar home, and you and Vicki still refuse to tell me who
invited MY sister there. You go get that information from Vicki -
Now! Now - you little lying creep! I want that persons testimony.
I want to know why they/she/it invited Christine out to stay in
that/their home - by herself, without their presence." What is
incredible, is there is no account of a world famous artists last 24
hours on earth. Alas we hear she played Acquire. What did she talk
about? What was her hopes and fears?"

We now know it was he hope she would be reconciled with Garth Benton
at Rocky Point. I am sure Christine mentioned this while they played
Acquire in the cabin. When was Garth due to arrive? Vicki said in
the Pinecone she and her son were invited there as an afterthought.
Did Christine want them there - just incase? If there was a party
planned at RP, was it to celebrate the reconciliation of Garth and
Christine that was taking place Friday night? How many of the
expected guests knew of this attempt?

"Were any family member or friends coming to town to celebrate
Christine's sober birthday? How about Raphael? How about Mark?"

"Why didn't she talk about the sober birthday and the plans she was
making? Drew is kept from the funeral lest she is questioned. You
are never questioned - because Vicki removed you as an eyewitness!
Everything Vicki tells me and the world - can't be true! Vicki
offers as little as possible lest people get on a role and want a
clearer picture, like, what did Vicki mean by saying she was helping
Christine overcome her fear of the ocean? Were you playing chicken
with giant waves?"

Shannon is arrested for Trespassing

As incredible as this seems, there is powerful evidence Vicki and
Garth set up members of my family to be accused of stealing from
Christine's home and gallery ? after we were invited there. After
the funeral, and while talking in the kitchen, I noticed this
gentleman lurking in the background in an adjoining room. I asked
Vicki who he was, and she said he was Garth's good friend. I went
and talked to him. I later gave him a call. I now realize that he
was guarding Christine's belongings, I mean??Garth's belongings.

I and my friend witnessed Vicki Presco give Shannon Rosamond a set
of new keys to her mother's home after Vicki employed a lock smith
to change all the locks in Christine's home. Vicki gave permission
to Shannon to stay in her mother's home. My friend is prepared to
testify to this. I gave testimony this was the case in several
letters to Sydney Morris and Judge Silver in the year following my
sister's suspicious demise.

My friend is also able to testify to his observation Vicki had a
unusually heavy load in the trunk of her Rambler sedan, and the back
seat was filled, he saying to me; "We should get the locksmith to
open the lock to the trunk and see what's in there."

Robin Beare says this in her letter to the bonding company; "6. In
addition, attached to this declaration is a notarized Affidavit from
Vicki Presco, who was nominated as Co-Executor in the decedent's
will date July 2, 1993, which sets forth the facts regarding her
telephone call to Ms.Benton that the locks to the decedent's
residence had been changed and that and that Ms.Benton was not to
enter the residence. 7. I personally requested that Vicki Presco,
who is Ms. Shannon Benton's aunt, and sister of the decedent, contact
Ms.Benton to request that she not come back to the residence, since
I was aware that Ms.Benton had already taken property belonging to
the estate from the residence. Also for that reason, I requested
that Garth Benton change the locks on the residence."

Ms. Beare then says; "there is no possibility whatsoever that
Shannon Benton will be able to obtain any type of bond, based solely
upon the fact that she is homeless."

Shortly after this false arrest, Vic Presco called Ms.Beare who told
my father he was shocked to know of his existence - and the
existence of the 8,000 partnership prints saying Garth and Vicki had
not mentioned them in the inventory of the estate. Vicki had asked
me to sell these prints at street fairs, and build shelves to store
them in her walk-in closet, neither of which I did.

Vicki dropped out as Executor, but here she is helping Garth and his
attorney rest control of the estate from the adult heir. She is
working against other members of the family as well, knowing they
have a vested interest. If she had not forsaken the sacred trust
Christine had given her, then she could not morally or ethically do
this. Why she thinks she could do this after refusing to serve as
Executor, constitutes fraud, and a conspiracy to deceive those who
have an interest in the estate.

Shannon was encouraged to come to Carmel and live in her mother's
home as the 'Pinecone' article said. Vicki asked me to move into the
house, and guard Shannon from stealing. I refused, suggesting the
contents be video taped if she did not trust Shannon, which was
done. If Shannon had not done moved in, then she would have had a
strong
hand, thus preventing the take-over of her legacy.

I believe there was a conspiracy to set Shannon up, weaken her
position, so others could take control of the estate and the art. I
am also certain Vicki Presco, and others, wanted to set me up, get
me arrested for stealing from the estate, as in his biography written
for Stacey Pierrot, Tom Snyder says family members and others stole
from the estate the day of the funeral.

"Before the service, Vicki had taken the trouble to go through
Christine's bedroom, putting her jewelry and intimate belongings out
of sight. As matters turned out, it did little good, for the funeral
was not long over before family members and others were ravaging
Christine's house, taking whatever could be carted away. The artist's
closet, a veritable mother lode - took the worst beating. World-
class spender that Christine had been, much of the clothing had
never been worn. So whatever still bore price tags was hauled off to
be exchanged for money. Jewelry disappeared, as well as other
personal belongings. Gallery employees and close friends of the
family, along
with Vicki, were doing their best to staunch the flow - the estate
had not yet been inventoried - but to no avail."

Let it be known that the guests who stayed the night in Christine's
home, were; Rosemary,Pip, Raphael, Cindy, John, Vicki, Michael,
Shamus, and myself.

Vicki asked me to stay away the day after my sister drowned as she
was having a gathering of Christine's friends (which was held in her
house) to help pay for funeral costs. Several months later Paul's
mortuary told me they were going to bill the estate. At the funeral
reception, I saw Stacey Pierrot down in the gallery basement handing
prints to my brother, Mark Presco. I would see my uncle, Dick
Molnar, with a print(s) under his arm. The value of these prints had
to be over $500.00. Was the cost of this reception also billed to
the estate? Ms. Pierrot shamelessly promoted herself in front of my
family in our time of grief, and then dare say this in her biography
she paid Mr.Snyder to write with sales of our sister's art, knowing
my new found daughter would read it;

"Like long sea voyages in small boats, funerals render families and
friends in their truest colors. Vicki had taken on the larger part
of the planning and managed to pull together what became the best of
it all - and it must be said that if there is a hero in this story,
it
is Christine's younger sister. She not only handled Christine's
burial, but later, those of her mother and father. Despite the jibes
of the family malcontents intent on their own agendas, Vicki had
served admirably no matter what the calling."

Vicki did not tell me Vic was dying or dead, or my mother was dying,
she dying the day after I found out. I had a falling out with both
my parents after I found out Vicki and Vic had played devious games
with the legacy of Vic's mother, who disinherited all four of her
grandchildren because none of us showed up at her death bed. Vic
told me he asked Vicki to tell the other Presco children his mother
was dying, and was shocked that she had not. Vic told me this after
he found out Vicki did not mention his existence to Robin Beare. The
family partnership was formed with the legacy left by our Grandmother
to her only son - as planned, as this got Mark and I out of the
will, Vic at the time turning our sister's against their brothers.
Vicki had no problem with that - even knowing Vic had got her and
Christine drunk and into his bed when they were in their twenties.

When I began to expose my younger sister, who had hid behind all the
chaos, Vic and Rosemary closed ranks, as it became evident these
raging alcoholics had used Vicki to get to the their older children
who they had falling outs with. Vicki played everyone against each
other.

"So in this setting, the contentiousness among family members, once
again able to hate each other face to face as they had not in years,
boiled to the surface. Everyone seemed furiously self-righteous
about something. If it is possible for the recently departed to have
a final glimpse, Christine would have had a sardonic chuckle at the
behavior of the characters on stage."

"The rest was, given those involved, what one might expect. Vic was
cornering whatever woman he could; Rosemary came in drunk, lost in
her story that she was the only seventeen-year-old to turn down
Errol Flynn's advances. "Oh it was just awful," Lillian
recalls. "Rosemary was shouting that Shannon was late, ' and ought
to have butt kicked'.
I don't know what all she said after that, but she had her silver
flask with her and it was getting rough."

No family member saw Vic at the funeral as he hid himself. Rosemary
had no flask with her. Knowing this would be the contentious
approach in their biography, Ms.Pierrot and Mr. Snyder approached my
sixteen year old daughter, and her stage mother, to be in their
biography. I had just found out Heather existed for sure, and had
yet to lay eyes on her. This is child abuse!

Christine drowned on her first sober birthday which is considered
more important then you natal birthday to those who are in recovery.
I have will have eighteen years sobriety After stealing my program
after I forbid him to employ it in his book, Mr. Snyder goes out of
his way to distant me from Christine - after her death ? using the
sick intrigue that is common in alcoholic co-dependent families. He
deliberately ignored the truth Christine and I had become Brother
and Sister in AA, and our new life together was about to begin, a
life based upon the steps and principles of AA which Snyder broke.
It says this on our birthday coins;

"To thine own self be true."

Vicki had a un-natural relationship with her father, who rewarded
her for being loyal to him, and his abuse. Vic paid her when she
betrayed her siblings who were confronting his about his abuse, as
Shannon had done. Vicki represents the insane sister of the never
ending lies in Vic's drunken program that commands us still from
beyond the grave....

"Thou shall not be aware."
