A sketch of handnotes from research, 2007-2009

Law and Truth are like oil and water. Sometimes they don't mix too well.

The private plane carrying six Paulding County, Georgia Republican businessmen crashed in Mount Airy, NC, February 2008, destined for Primland, a hunting club in southern Virginia. The club was owned by Didier Primat, one of the wealthiest men in France, whose son is involved in racing Aston Martin vehicles. Primat was associated with a Goldsboro, NC law firm and management of his massive American land holdings was handled in North Carolina. While associates of Primat appear to be Democrats, those aboard the plane were Republicans.

I was particularly interested because Paulding County is where I'd purchased land and then been harassed by officials and threatened by Republican Glenn Richardson's law office, representative as the county attorney. Georgia was corrupt in many counties with the capacity to falsely arrest and harass even using the help of police. It was frightening, as one would imagine happening only in a communist country. Was it a way to discredit, destroy, and intimidate a potential witness to crime at higher levels?

But it was the connection to North Carolina and politics in my own personal, tragic story and with the Paulding County plane crash I found most interesting, and worthy of researching. Interesting aspects in the disappearance of Amy Frink and my son, Gerard J. Sniffen, III are the links to cocaine trafficking, executives, and high level politicians.

I had made enemies in North Carolina as a political cartoonist about the time Amy Frink had disappeared. She had been writing to my son after we'd returned home from Ocean Isle Beach vacations. When I tipped authorities as to who may have killed her, within a few months my own son disappeared and died with many of the same characteristics.My son had attended military school with the grandson of Georgia's former governor, Zell Miller. He had even been invited to the Governor's mansion by Miller's grandson. At the time of my son's disappearance from Cobb County, Georgia, 1998 many southern governors were Democrats. Soon Republicans took power, and I provided all forms of evidence foul play was involved to both parties. My son's disappearance was so similar to the disappearance of North Carolina's Amy Frink, the same criminal organization had to be involved in both, in Georgia and North Carolina where they disappeared, and also Alabama and South Carolina where the two were said to have perished.

Besides writing my story for protection via internet at "The New Criminologist," in England 2005, there were other interesting "international" situations.

In Cobb County, Georgia 1999 I was approached by a tall, blonde Englishman who raced his Porsche all over the world. He complained his drivers were being harassed by Cobb County police and it was affecting his Caterpillar dealership. I explained the only persons I knew affiliated with Caterpillar were my husband in a former position, and his fraternity brother, Titus Wilfore, who was in sales for Yancey.

Then my North Carolina friend's daughter landed a job with Freemantle media, and went to California.

Next, in Kentucky I found a local couple named Gadness, friends of a local pedophile, the wife being a native of France, had attempted to get custody of two Native American children with the means of mere paperwork, and nothing more. Tess Liliquist, the Native American mother had begged me to take her children. I explained my home would be dangerous for them because my tire had been slashed, home sabotaged, and my animals tampered with in the night. I was under attack by the local thugs of Washington/Mercer counties. I had contacted the FBI and even spoke with the Lakota parents suspecting criminal activity regarding the children, and mother, but nothing was ever done. The Lakota Sioux mother, according to local rumor, then died in a Kentucky jail.

After all of the arrests and horrors in Georgia and Kentucky from 1998 - 2000, it was 2001 when I finally realized there is a group of skillful, connected people in this country who can do absolutely anything they want, take anything they want, and destroy anyone they want––and get away with it. And with them, the justice system and law enforcement is putty in their hands. Much admired, North Carolina editorial cartoonist, Doug Marlette didn't survive, in whatever circumstances were the events surrounding his Dixieland death, I planned to survive North Carolina, Georgia and the South, no matter how inferior my novice political cartoons may have been. I obviously made my point.

In memory of Officer Davina Buff Jones, who died in the same NC county as Amy Frink,1999, North Carolina. Officer Jones had been aware of drug activity at the affluent community of Bald Head Island.
