My fiancé and friend of 40 years is being held captive by a white supremacist narcissistic abuser in Lake Orion, MI He is 66, she is 58, I am 47 If we physically stop him, we go to jail He tore apart their 5 tiny dogs and forced her to bake them on cookie sheets and watch while he ate them

Twice the Lake Orion Police failed to visually confirm my fiancé's presence at the residence, the 2nd time telling me to never call back and blocking my number Her abuser, who is still holding her captive, has since erected a fictitious Facebook page using stolen identities to claim she is dead

That kunzweiler dude and the judge, guten, are very emotionally invested in keeping an old woman in prison. I wonder how they treat women in their relationships because they seem to feel that women can't be believed and that trauma isn't real.
