Marvin Henderson’s daughter: “Daddy doesn’t have $20 to buy milk.”


Henderson Auctions Founder Marvin Henderson

 

In our latest Sound Off Louisiana feature, we profile some of the incredible revelations being uncovered in the depositions of Henderson Auctions v. BLH Equipment and James Blake Everett during which, despite this WBRZ TV feature referencing a Facebook post in which Marvin Henderson is referenced as a “billionaire,” his daughter, Janet Henderson Cagley, now states under oath that her father, Marvin, “doesn’t have $20 to buy milk.”:

BLH Equipment.  Segment one features sections of the deposition of Henderson Auctions’ founder, convicted felon Marvin Henderson, and segments of his daughter’s deposition, Janet Henderson Cagley.  CLICK HERE for the scathing ruling issued by U. S. Judge Shelly Dick referenced in the video and CLICK HERE for the Business Report article referenced in the video.

Direct quote from Business Report Article referenced above:

In July, Everett’s attorney filed another exhibit, this one called ‘Advances to Marvin for his Girlfriends‘ (bold emphasis is ours). The handwritten ledger shows dates and amounts for 10 additional alleged payments—in cash and cashier’s checks—to Marvin Henderson or to women on Henderson’s behalf (bold emphasis ours). That exhibit alleges that all told, BLH Equipment paid $141,519.68 to Marvin Henderson between July 2, 2013, and Feb. 7, 2014.”

As Mills reviews flaws in Louisiana’s adoption process and statutes, WBRZ’s Weiss joins WVLA in exposing devastating failed adoption for young Central couple.


Craig Mills and His Family

In our last Sound Off Louisiana feature, Craig Mills, an alleged victim of an adoption scam, vented what he asserts is indifference on the parts of Louisiana State Police Major Paul Edmonson, Attorney General Jeff Landry, and others entailing his contention that adoption scams are rampant across Louisiana.

 

On Monday (June 19, 2017) of this week, WBRZ’s Brittany Weiss further illuminated the devastation endured by a Central couple as a result of bizarre circumstances entailing its adoption devastation.   The expectant mother allegedly threatened to find another family willing to adopt her daughter and which would be willing to provide more “support” in the way of cosigning a note for a trailer purchase she wanted to consummate.

 

Conflicting evidence exists entailing the “resolution” to the Central adoption couple’s plight.  The birth mother, whom nobody can locate, is said to have conveyed via text that she was “keeping the baby.”  If so, no laws would be broken.

 

Perhaps the birth mother did opt to keep the baby, but evidence does exist that may not be the case in that a previous WVLA feature on the same couple demonstrated that, during a phone conversation between the adoption social worker and a man living with the birth mother, that man, at least according to the prospective Central adoptive father, said, “I’m supposed to meet with David and Sonya to sign some type of paperwork.”  When the social worker inquired who David and Sonya are, the man purportedly said, “uh oh,” after which he hung up the phone.  Thereafter, the man was unable to be contacted.  Now the Central couple is out in excess of $25,000 and is left with dashed hopes of raising the daughter they awaited with such anticipation, Abigail Grace.

 

In our final segment of the Mills investigative series, Mills ties all of the material together to illuminate the significant problems inherent in Louisiana’s adoption industry.  Those problems have led to Louisiana being known as “ground zero” for adoption scams, so much so that out-of-state recruitment transpires in which expectant mothers are openly encouraged to relocate to Louisiana because of its lax adoption practices.  Here’s the final installment of the Mills investigative series:


Mills provides comprehensive review of adoption problems in Louisiana.

 

Sound Off Louisiana wishes to thank Craig Mills for his exposure of this significant problem in Louisiana, for his high level of organization, and for his ability to convey those problems, and we especially extend thanks to our many viewers who took the time to watch this series, share its components on Facebook, etc.  Hopefully, some corrective actions may ensue which will eliminate Louisiana being labeled as “ground zero” for adoption shortcomings in the near future.

Mills vents frustrations with LSP’s Paul Edmonson, AG Jeff Landry, others entailing their indifference toward alleged Louisiana adoption scams.


Criag Mills and his family.

 

In our latest Sound Off Louisiana feature, we continue our investigative series entailing Craig Mills and his unfortunate experience as the alleged victim of an adoption scam.  In this segment, Mills provides the names of folk with whom he has frustrations in various agencies of Louisiana law enforcement to include Paul Edmonson of Louisiana State Police (LSP) and many others.  Here’s our latest installment of the Mills adoption scam investigative series:

 


Mills vents his frustrations with law enforcement entailing his alleged adoption scam and those of others.

Supporting Documents and Links:

 

The late-breaking article on the Central couple apparently being victims of a HUGE adoption scam.  As the author of the preceding article points out, if, by chance, the mother changed her mind and decided to keep the baby, then no law has been broken.  However, given the text messages on display in the article, it is highly unlikely that’s the case and the birth mother simply used this couple as leverage and, when they would not agree to cosign on a note for a trailer, these are two text messages which the birth mother sent back upon being informed that the adopting parents would not agree to cosign on such a promissory note:

 

“Yea, imma start looking for another family.”

“Can’t believe u wouldn’t do it to keep Abagail and myself safe.”

 

So, as the article link above indicates, it appears this Central couple has now likely been scammed out of $35,000 as part of this latest alleged adoption scam.

Noteworthy Assessment by Mills:

 

Mills states that the DCFS “finding” notes that the birth mother, “appears to have some documented issues with being truthful.” In addition, Mills advises that DCFS also notes that she was changing her story during her 24-hour stay at the hospital.  Mills later found out that this hospital stay was because the birth mother thought she was in labor.  She was communicating with Cindy Simonson, a California adoption facilitator, during this episode, but Mills contends, “she never contacted us regarding her potential labor and delivery on April 11, 2014.  All of this should have lead LSP to establish at least probable cause to ask questions.”  Mills added, “if those statements alone do not establish intent to deceive us, I guess I am not really sure what intent is.”

 

Mills expressed extreme frustration with Lucy McGough.  As evidenced by the email link above, he responded to her email stating that she would not talk to LSP.  Mills made it clear that he was not requesting her representation.  Mills indicated that she never responded to his “very simple question of having someone else represent the Children’s Code work product to LSP.”

 

Mills also provided Sound Off Louisiana with two emails of communication with Danny McAllister at the Attorney General’s office.  Mills stated that, in his opinion, the Attorney General’s office wants him and his wife “to do their investigation for them,” a fact he made clear in the video above.  Also as stated on the video, Mills indicated that he is willing to do the Attorney General’s investigation for him, but he emphasized to Jeff Landry, “I’m not going to be ignored.”

 

Mills also stated that, regarding his reference to Molly Lancaster in the McAllister email:  “she felt compelled enough from our story that she said LSP could go to New Orleans and arrest both birth parents.”  Mills pointed out the astounding contradiction of Lancaster’s assessment vis-a-vis Gremillion’s “no statutes violated” email above.  Mills emphasized that Lancaster represented “the third member of the Attorney General’s Office pointing me to criminal statutes that Chad Gremillion can’t find.”  He named the three:  Molly Lancaster, Assistant Attorney General; Whitney Higginbotham Green, Assistant Attorney General; and Danny McAllister, Investigator.

 

Mills expressed frustration with LSP’s Chad Gremillion in that “even though he made the claim that he discussed our situation with an Assistant Attorney General, he would never tell me who he talked to at the Attorney General’s office, yet I have three who directly contradict what he says.”

 

The above video and documentation provide incredible substantiation to Mills’ claim that law enforcement is either ignoring or being totally indifferent to the sheer number of adopting scams being perpetrated upon prospective Louisiana adoptive couples.

 

We will conclude our thorough, in-depth investigative series with the fifth installment of this series in coming days.  We appreciate our loyal viewers who have followed this series, and we believe you’ll find the final episode very intriguing.
