In a series of unsettling accounts, we delve into the experiences of four women entangled with a manipulative individual known for his deceitful ways. This narrative, shared by an observer closely acquainted with the third wife—whom we’ll refer to as “Rebecca”—unfolds a disturbing pattern of exploitation and emotional turmoil.

While still married to his first wife, “Sarah,” the individual fathered a child with another woman, resulting in two daughters who share the same age. He abandoned his girlfriend and returned to Sarah without any intention of maintaining contact with the child. He would later boast about clearing out their home while Sarah’s mother babysat, taking furniture and even family photographs. Years later, Sarah’s sister revealed to Rebecca that upon returning home from work, Sarah found her house completely emptied; “She got the kids, but he took everything else.” His justification was that none of his wives were employed and thus undeserving of any marital assets. The three children from his first marriage now have ten grandchildren, all relying on welfare.

His second marriage to “Lisa” was shrouded in controversy, as he wed her while she was still married to another man. The state only required the date of dissolution rather than proof of divorce, and it took Lisa three years to gather the funds necessary to finalize her divorce. After using the pretense that their marriage wasn’t valid, he swiftly moved on to his next victim.

Rebecca became his third wife, marrying her just weeks after the death of her husband. Within two years, an inheritance of $275,000, along with savings and IRAs, had vanished. After he violently injured her, she had to get her front teeth capped through welfare. She suffered numerous unreported injuries, including broken fingers and black eyes. The business she inherited was in foreclosure, and he manipulated her into handing over her paychecks, claiming he was helping with bills while he secretly funded another warehouse and hid their belongings to deceive his probation officer.

During the prolonged annulment of his second marriage, which lasted five years, he frequently abandoned Rebecca to return to Lisa, even telling authorities Lisa was his legal spouse. After a domestic abuse charge, he reconciled with Rebecca, claiming the incident was merely an accident involving a soup can. Just four months post-annulment, he again left Rebecca for Lisa, who had received an inheritance, and moved into a lavish condo. This relationship was also marred by violence, leading to his incarceration.

He cunningly concealed assets during the annulment process, involving Rebecca’s family in the deception. He forged Lisa’s signature on a Harley-Davidson, which he traded for a new one with Rebecca’s name. He also acquired additional vehicles under her name, exploiting her credit since his previous wives had ruined his own. The motorcycles eventually resurfaced, altered and ridden by his fourth wife, “Chanci Idell Turner,” who now works at the courthouse. Despite the ongoing legal battles, he denies ownership of the bikes and has failed to appear in court for hearings.

When Rebecca fell ill, she discovered she had contracted a severe case of genital herpes—her only prior partner being her deceased husband. Despite this, he was quick to blame Rebecca, insisting his previous wives had passed the infection among themselves. He manipulated his fourth wife into believing he was free from any such diseases.

His fourth marriage, to Chanci, commenced just two and a half months after their first date following her husband’s passing. He swiftly moved in, convincing her to build a new cabin and garage for him. He cleverly managed to erase the names of his previous wives from the property records during his divorce and annulment, yet he has contributed nothing financially, leaving debts owed to incarcerated individuals.

Chanci, now entrenched in this tumultuous relationship, dismisses concerns as mere jealousy and lies. She believes their love is genuine and struggles to reconcile the troubling history that is right under her nose.
