1997
– Craig's Tax Issues
On
September 27, 1997 my son, Arthur Edward Foster, suffered an extreme
brain injury due to a motorcycle accident. At the time I was in New
Orleans at a NFRW convention, due to go on to New Hampshire to
research the book I was then writing, Echoes from the Singer of
Songs. The book was never finished. My life was changed completely
and forever.
What
did would not know until the facts seeped back to me over the next
several years were these. My husband, Craig, had married me because
I was useful to him in multiple ways and had three beautiful
daughters. Craig's fantasies focused on incestuous relations with
girl children who he would rape and betray.
Craig
is a sexual deviant and a psychopath.
Because
the company, Green Hills Software, Inc., flor which he was Senior
Vice President was poised to go public an opportunity had opened up
to profit and gain sexual access to our daughters, who he had
insisted on adopting when we married in 1989.
Craig
cut a deal with the President of the company, Dan O'Dowd and hired
our daughter, Morgan to assist him in leaving me so he could live out
his sexual fantasies. She may not have realized these included her.
The Ethics Of Drone Contractors
In
early March,1998, Craig pesuaded Arthur, still struggling with his
radically changed life, that he would be better off dead if he had to
live with me, the only person willing to care for him.
On
March 22, 1998 Arthur shot himself through the brain.
Around
three weeks later Craig paid Morgan $10,000 to claim she had a heart
problem and needed a transplant. She called me at the hospital where
I was at Arthur's bedside. The physicians had suggested me
disconnect his life support as they predicted he would never recover.
This
has to have been one hardest moments of my life.
I
refused. Arthur lived, but it took three years for him to walk
again, something I was told would never happen.
Why
Dan O'Dowd Needed Craig – Excerpt from Article
In 1998
it was Franklin who organized the walk-out of critical employees
which, part of a carefully orchestrated plan, allowed O'Dowd to buy
out the company from Hightower at a fraction of its real value.
Hightower had been an active participant in the company, not a
passive investor.
The
deal between Franklin and O'Dowd was of the, "Throw
Mama from the Train,"
variety. Franklin assisted in defrauding Hightower and O'Dowd made
sure Franklin's wife did not receive her marital share of the stock
options issued to Franklin the year before. Their actions callously,
and intentionally, left her disabled, destitute, and struggling to
care for a completely disabled son, who Franklin had adopted.
Today,
Craig Franklin, is widely known to engage in bizarre sexual behavior
and to have exposed himself to his adopted daughters. The focus of
his sexual drive is young girls, and his fantasies turn on incest.
Franklin's son, Jonathan
Scott Franklin, is presently serving time for the attempted
murder, by a hitman, of his wife.
Morgan
is highly disordered but she was also very willing to talk when she
was on the outs with Craig, whose goal with her was sexual. He
recharacterized his payments, made to Morgan for assisting him in
divorcing me, as 'gifts' and forced her to sign a loan document after
the fact. This was dismissed by the court.

I ended up in Ohio is very much a natural extension to the story
above. Coming soon!
