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.
