Who are David Allen Turpin, Louise Anna Turpin, birth dates, history, family - Mary Cummins reporting


David Allen Turpin, Louise Anna Robinette Turpin, felony torture, children, neglect, mary cummins, los angeles, california, riverside, jail, prison

THIS IS A BREAKING STORY. CHECK BACK FOR FREQUENT UPDATES.

UPDATE: 04/19/2019 Sentenced to life in prison with possibility of parole. Their first opportunity to go before the parole board is in 25 years. Two of their children have so far given victim impact statements. A daughter said the father changed their mother. He was the one in charge. David Turpin said "if I've done anything to cause them harm..." David still doesn't think he did anything wrong. David and Louise both talk about God, thanking God for their children whom they feel are blessings. A son said he still has nightmares but has forgiven his parents. The daughter also forgave them and said she still loved them.

02/09/2018 The gofundme for the 13 kids is now at $450,000. There have now been offers to take them from David's brother Randy or Louise's sister. Based on what others have stated about Louise's sister and what I've read about Randy I don't think those would be good homes. More information is coming on this issue.

01/31/2018 Someone posted a comment stating that the grandfather may be the one who molested the granddaughters Louise and her sister. The paternal grandfather was preacher King Turpin who died in 1977. The maternal grandfather was William Rose who died in 1972. Below is the updated family tree.

David Allen Turpin, Louise Anna Robinette Turpin, felony torture, children, neglect, mary cummins, los angeles, california, riverside, jail, prison


01/28/2018 The case finally showed up in Riverside County Superior Court unsealed. Previously it was sealed. This is just for David Turpin. Louise has all the same charges except lewd act with a minor. The charges are dated 01/01/2010. I assume that is when the crimes started eight years ago.

01/24/2017 I had thought all their children's names started with a "J." It was just confirmed that Louise told her neighbor all their children's name start with a "J."

"Judge Smith approved a three-year protective order that bars the parents from contacting their children in any way — including by phone or electronically — except through their lawyer." Next hearing February 23, 2018.

Hearing today. DA is seeking a protective order to prevent the parents from contacting the children.

01/19/2017 There is a hearing tomorrow 01/24/2018 at 1:30 at the court house.

David Turpin was getting a job transfer from California to Oklahoma with the defense contractor Northrop Grumann. They were preparing to move to Oklahoma. Police said moving boxes were in the home.

Information from old neighbors in Texas.

Former Texan neighbours of David and Louise Turpin, the American couple whose 13 children were discovered chained and malnourished last week, have described a previous home littered with faeces, dead animals and a makeshift classroom.

Ricky Vinyard, a tree feller from Rio Vista also told how one Christmas eight bikes arrived but remained untouched outside until they bleached in the sun.

And that one of the daughters once ran away from home, only to be returned to her parents by another local resident.

“It was waist-deep in filth. There were dead dogs and cats in there,” he told the Los Angeles Times.

He described how he found two Chihuahuas that had survived by eating waste from a mound of soiled nappies in a trailer behind the property where the children slept.

“There were no beds, just mattresses."

Inside the four-bedroom, two-bathroom home he said that: "There wasn’t a place that wasn’t filthy.

“Everything had locks on it: the closet had locks, the toy chest, the refrigerator.”

________________

David's brother is Randy Turpin a preacher and writer of religious books. The entire family is very religious. In fact the reverends in the family make their money off religion. Below is a video of Randy Turpin preaching. I emailed him asking if he's David's brother. He opened the email but did not reply. He is.




Information from someone who knows Louise's sister Elizabeth Flores. I paraphrased it to avoid cut/paste so as not to give away identity of informant.

"Elizabeth has seven children. The Department of Health was called on her. When they put her father in a nursing home they moved to WV from TN and were living in squalor.  Cats locked in the basement, dogs tied to trees in the yard without shelter or water. The kids never had a bite to eat. Elizabeth stated she thought her husband was molesting the girls. All of the kids were sleeping on the filthy floor on carpet with no blankets. The entire family is crazy.  Her father was a well respected man in our community."

The children were not allowed to use the restroom. What did the poor girls do during their periods? Maybe they were too thin to have periods? Nightmare.

According to the family David Turpin basically kidnapped Louise from her high school and took her to Texas to get married. Louise's father did not approve of David. After Louise went with David to Texas, Louise's father approved the marriage. People can marry in West Virginia at age 16.

Two healthy dogs were also taken from the Turpins. They are up for adoption to Perris residents only. Many people are interested so there will be a drawing.

01/18/2018

Bail raised from $9M to $12M. Photo from 1:30 p.m. hearing today.



These are the updated charges. Both have the same charges except David has an extra charge of lewd act on a child.

The charges against David and Louise Turpin:
12 counts of torture
1 count against David Turpin of a lewd act on a child
7 counts of abuse against a dependent adult
6 counts of child abuse/neglect
12 counts of false imprisonment

Case No. is PE180140020

They appeared in court and pled not guilty to all charges. David has a public defender. Louise has an outside attorney most likely paid for by her family. I'm amazed David got a public defender when he has $150K equity in the home and $100K+ in his retirement accounts. You generally have to be penniless to get a public defender.

Next court date is set for Feb. 23, 2018 at 1:30 at the same court house.02/23/2018 13:30

The children are starting to tell their stories. They ate once a day, bathed twice a year. Were not allowed access to the bathroom. The father may have done something inappropriate with one girl under the age of 14. House of horrors!

https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/california-torture-house-13-siblings-allowed-eat-once-day-shower-n838671

01/17/2018 Hearing tomorrow 01/18/2018 at the Riverside Hall of Justice. 4100 Main St, Riverside, CA 92501

On cue the attention seeking sister in law calls the media to do interviews. She calls herself a motivational speaker, Elizabeth Jane Robinette Flores who has seven children.

https://www.yahoo.com/news/aunt-13-siblings-locked-california-161112448.html

This should go straight to David's booking info.

http://jimspub.riversidesheriff.org/cgi-bin/iisinfo.acu?bkno=201801856G

News update says the oldest child is a 29 year old woman. The doctors said the children were deprived of proper food, exercise, sun for many, many years. They are all very small for their age.

The addresses I have for David Turpin are as follows,

ORIGINAL: David Allen Turpin was born October 17, 1961. He is currently in Riverside County jail. He is charged with nine felony counts of torture and ten felony counts of child endangerment. He was arrested yesterday and booked today. His next court date is Jan 18, 2018. Below is his jail record. His wife Louise Ann Robinette Turpin was born May 24, 1968. Her jail record is below David's. They have court appearances at the same time.

They were married for the first time each February 1985 in Giles County, Virginia, see marriage license below. They keep renewing their vows. David's parents are James Randolph Turpin and Betty Jean Rose. David is from Princeton, Mercer, West Virginia. He was 23 when they were married and she was 16. Her parents are Allen Wayne Robinette and Phyllie Ann Taylor who are both dead. She's also from West Virginia.

They've lived in Benbrook, Texas and Fort Worth, Texas from 1990 to at least 1993. They had quite a few kids in Texas.

They've named their children using the first letter "J." Here are the children I've found so far born in Texas. They have 13 children between the ages of 2 and 29. Below are some of the adults.

Jennifer Dawn Turpin Jul 28 1988 Los Angeles, CA ?
Joshua David Turpin Feb 3 1992, 26 yrs Tarrant County, TX
Jessica Louise Turpin Nov 3 1993, 25 yrs Tarrant County, TX
Jonathan Wayne Turpin Nov 17 1995, 23 yrs Tarrant County TX
Joy Donna Turpin May 21 1997, 21 yrs Tarrant County TX


David Turpin attended Glenwood Junior High then Princeton High School, graduating in 1979, and consistently made the school’s honor roll with grades of B’s or better. A copy of the school’s yearbook from 1979, obtained by the Bluefield Daily Telegraph, listed him as an officer in the Bible Club and Chess Club and a member of the Science Club and Acapella Choir. He graduated from Virginia Tech and was a computer engineer. Afterward, he went to work for General Dynamics in Texas. Defense contractor Lockheed Martin confirmed that Turpin worked for them until 2010.

Below is the family tree. I didn't include all the children. This family is pure West Virginia. Their families were farmers or coal miners. They were all very religious. The family has quite a few Reverends.

james randolph turpin, jr, a man called king, the life and legacy of king turpin jr
King Turpin is David's grandfather. Book was written by David's brother James. https://www.blogger.com/profile/09702043791697417022 Below is a summary of the book. It actually summarizes the family.

"A Man Called King: The Life and Legacy of King Turpin, Jr. What difference can one life make? Born in 1903 as the son of a wanderer in East Tennessee, King Turpin, Jr.’s childhood was everything but stable. However, an encounter with God’s grace instantaneously transformed his life, and for the remainder of his days, faithfulness to the God who had saved him became his highest ambition. This narrative is based on the memories and stories of the people who knew King and is informed by thirty years of research conducted by his grandson, J. Randolph Turpin, Jr. The book contains enlightening descriptions of King’s life as a vagrant in the Tennessee River Valley, as a cotton mill worker in Knoxville, as a miner in Kentucky, Arizona and West Virginia, and as a farmer-miner-preacher in the Appalachian mountain region. It is a story filled with amazing incidents of faith in the midst of hardships and dramatic manifestations of God’s power in the midst of impossibilities. The story of King Turpin, Jr. demonstrates the significance of a life devoted to God. Although this book was written as a tribute to King Turpin with the intent of inspiring faith in God, it also contains valuable information for researchers exploring Appalachian culture and the history of other East Tennessee Turpins."

James Turpin Jr also made a family tree.

They live and own the home at 160 Muir Woods Rd, Perris, CA 92570. It's a 4 bed, 3 bath, 2,388 sf home built in 2013 on a 7,405 sf lot. They bought it new in 2014 for $351,000 with a $344,446 first loan. Loan is FHA with Home Community Mortgage LLC out of Irving, Texas. They're weren't in default or foreclosure. They have about $100K+ in equity. I can only imagine how expensive it would be to have that many kids. Still, they could have gone to a soup kitchen, pantry, asked their family for help. They hadn't spoken to their family in 3-4 years per their parents. Their adult kids could have been working outside of the house. Why did the father make them stay?He would have been able to care for the children under 18 if he let the adults leave and get jobs. The husband and wife were average+ weight for their height. How could they let their children starve yet they continue to eat? Below is their home.

I wonder if he got funds for charter school because he made a school? LAUSD said that each child who goes to charter school takes $8,000 per child per year. I don't know Riverside county costs. Using LAUSD as an avg, $8,000 x 8 of their kids are still school age is $64,000/year in income as a charter school. The national average is $11,000/child/year for charter school.

I can only imagine husband was too proud to ask for help. He could have sold his home, pocketed $120K and rented a place. He could have gone to a soup kitchen, pantry, sent his wife to one to get food. I think he chained them because they were starving and trying to run away to get food.

Mother's sister is a "writer." She states she was abused as a child. Was Louise also abused? These people are all very religious, into having huge families. They are from West Virginia and their families used to be coal miners.

Official press release about the crime from the Riverside Count Sheriff Office.

Press Release: Torture / Child Endangerment
Agency: Perris Police
Station Area: Perris
Written Date: January 15, 2018 Time: 12:30 AM
Incident Date: January 14, 2018 Time: 6:10 PM
Incident Location: 100 Block of Muir Woods Road, Perris, CA
Reporting Officer: Sergeant Curt Harris
File Number(s): PE180140020
Details:

"Early Sunday morning on January 14, 2018, a 17-year old juvenile escaped from her residence situated in the 100 Block of Muir Woods Road, Perris and managed to call 911 from a cellular device she found inside the house.  The teenager claimed her 12 brothers and sisters were being held captive inside the residence by her parents and further claimed some of her siblings were bound with chains and padlocks.

When Police Officers from the Perris Police Department and Deputies from the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department met with the juvenile, she appeared to be only 10 years old and slightly emaciated.  After a brief interview with the female, they contacted 57-year old David Allen Turpin and 49-year old Louise Anna Turpin at the residence where the teenager escaped.

Further investigation revealed several children shackled to their beds with chains and padlocks in dark and foul-smelling surroundings, but the parents were unable to immediately provide a logical reason why their children were restrained in that manner.  Deputies located what they believed to be 12 children inside the house, but were shocked to discover that 7 of them were actually adults, ranging in age from 18 to 29.  The victims appeared to be malnourished and very dirty.  Perris Station Detectives were dispatched to the residence for further investigation.

All 13 victims, ranging from the age of 2 to 29, were transported to the Perris Station and interviewed.  Both parents were detained and transported to the station for further investigation.  Child Protective Services (CPS) and Adult Protective Services (APS) arrived to assist in the investigation.  The victims were provided with food and beverages after they claimed to be starving.

The six children were eventually transported to the Riverside University Hospital System (RUHS) for medical examinations and admitted for treatment.  The seven adult children were transported to Corona Regional Medical Center for an examination and admitted for medical treatment.

Both parents were interviewed in this matter and subsequently transported to the Robert Presley Detention Center (RPDC).  They were booked for violations of California Penal Code Section 206–Torture and Section 273a(A)–Child Endangerment.  Bail was set at $9,000,000.00 each.

Anyone with additional information regarding this investigation is encouraged to contact Master Investigator Tom Salisbury at the Perris Station by calling (951) 210-1000, or by email at PerrisStation@RiversideSheriff.org"

Who is Brianna Brochu, Brianna Rae Brochu who committed race crime against Chennel Jazzy Rowe? Mary Cummins reporting

Brianna Brochu, brianna rae brochu, racist, bigot, race crime, criminal, jazzy rowe, jamaican barbie, mary cummins, hartford, conneticut, birth date, parents
BREAKING STORY. CHECK BACK FOR UPDATES.

03/12/2018 Brianna Brochue got probation for what she did. She won't have a criminal record if she completes her community service and stays out of trouble. What a joke. You know if the victim were white and perpetrator were black the sentencing would have been very different. I do realize she's a first time offender who are generally offered these sentences but she actually made Jazzy sick. It was a hate crime based on racism.

"Brochu will have to perform a cushy 200 hours of community service, with 50 of those hours at a literacy organization in Greater Hartford and another 50 at a social services group.

If Brochu manages to not be disgusting stay out of trouble and complete those requirements, the charges she faced—breach of peace and criminal mischief—will be tossed out after two years."

https://www.theroot.com/connecticut-student-who-smeared-bodily-fluids-on-black-1823704388?utm_source=theroot_facebook&utm_medium=socialflow

11/28/2017 The Court most likely won't file hate crime charges against Brianna Brochu. The hearing will be continued to December 18, 2017.  I believe it was a hate crime. She called her "Jamaican" Barbie. The case is being heard in Hartford, Connecticut. "The 18-year-old Harwinton resident is charged with misdemeanor criminal mischief and breach of peace."



ORIGINAL: Brianna Rae Brochu aka Breezy Brochu on Facebook born August 16, 1999 in Conneticut. Her parents are Margaret E Brochu age 52 born 1965 and Mark H Brochu age 60 born 1957 living in Harwinton, CT 06791. They owned a home together until 2005 when Margaret owned it by herself. Maybe they got divorced. She has a previous husband named David Poirier. Her maiden name is Anderson. Margaret is a Tea Party supporter and a Christian. I believe their racist daughter learned racism from the parents. Margaret works at Tools Plus Inc as a purchaser. Mother goes by Margie Anderson Brochu on Facebook. Her friends call her a red neck. Margie's friend is Jim Lango a hunter who poses with dead deer. Margie approves of this. All of their friends are white. Margie's dad was Norm Anderson. Her mother is Judith L Owens Anderson. Breezy's sister is Megan. All their Facebook friends are super white. Breezy's Instagram profile is still visible but set to private https://www.instagram.com/breezy9949/ Cached copies of her Instagram http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:rOd5pz3dJwgJ:www.thepicta.com/user/breezy9949/207707026+&cd=2&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us

Because Brianna called Jazzy the "Jamaican Barbi" I think Brianna was jealous that Jazzy is more well to do, has a better figure and is prettier. That's generally what "Barbi" means. The fact that she called her the "Jamaican Barbi" proves she's also extremely racist.

I didn't realize that Merritt Clifton was fired from Animal People News then the news part was shut down in 2013 due to funding. The funding problems were actually partially caused by Merritt. His ex wife who ran Animal People News Kim Rogers hired him in 1986. He eventually became the editor then was demoted as a writer only.

Merritt Clifton got married in 2014 to Beth Clifton. That is the same year he gave her half of the ownership of his house and started the non-profit Animals 24 7. There were Wikipedia pages for Merritt Clifton and Animals 24 7 which have been deleted as they were not deemed not worthy by Wikipedia editors.

I did not know the below about Merritt Clifton. I met him in 2006 after being introduced by Ed Boks. I'm shocked that he would ruin his 15 year marriage with a minor child for a fling. It's even worse as they were kind of in business together with Animal People though just as employees.

"In 2005 Merritt and Dana had a secret rendezvous at the beach in Southern California during a CHAMPS conference whilst Dana’s partner Rolando was in the hotel room suffering from a terminal illness. Shortly thereafter Merritt and his wife divorced . Email evidence provides information that Merritt’s relationship with Dana Costin was the instigator for the ending of Clifton’s 15 year marriage." Source: https://merritcliftondebunked.blogspot.com/

Here is an email from his ex-wife saying she's firing and divorcing him.

https://wheredidmydonationgo.org/wp-content/uploads/A-wifes-rightful-response.pdf

Here is an email written by Merritt. Beth girl, run! His current wife is wife number three.

https://wheredidmydonationgo.org/wp-content/uploads/Merrit-Cliftin-and-Dana-Costin-The-tunnel.pdf

Here is an email from the wife.

https://wheredidmydonationgo.org/wp-content/uploads/Merrit-is-so-pathetic.pdf

I just realized if I copy and paste, the redaction is removed. I re redacted it. As I read these things I remember Merritt being a little too friendly in emails with me in 2006. This is when his wife and girlfriend both dumped him. Now I understand. FTR Merritt Clifton is the one who gave me all the dirt on Ed Boks, Edward Boks. Merritt had known him for years and he told me every horrible thing about him. Merritt is the one who told me that Best Friends had handlers stay with, walk around with Ed Boks at their conferences because there were so many complaints of sexual harassment.

Merritt is just so pathetic. However, my pity is tempered by the fact that I had to refinance the
mortgage and give him $111,000 as his half interest in the equity of his place so that I could keep
the home for Wolf and the animals here, and also the ANIMAL PEOPLE office. The money he has
given to her has come out of the money from the house that was meant for our family. He did give
up everything for her, including the love and respect of his wife and son, and all rights of custody
for his only child, but **** and I have suffered grievously because of it, and now I have a quartermillion dollar mortgage to pay so that Merritt could start his new life and get a new home he
thought Dana would be sharing with him.

I have to ask what kind of a woman would allow a 52-year-old man to leave his home and family
and jeopardize his career when she doesn't even want him? Forget her animosity towards me,
because Merritt has paid the bigger price. Merritt is a fool, but Dana is wicked. Her behavior goes
beyond immaturity."

This blog goes into his donor fraud. He helped a group sell a fake story about kiddie porn, kidnapping, orphans, animals to get donations. And this guy is supposed to investigate fraud in other non-profits? I would not trust his current non-profit. I think he's living off of it because he can't get a job with his reputation of being repeatedly fired for his own bad behavior.

https://merritcliftondebunked.blogspot.com/

Seems Merritt Clifton's reputation has not changed. "(1976) Samizdat was  run by a Marxist radical out of Berkeley, Merritt Clifton, who had a notorious reputation for being blunt and insulting in his interactions with writers and other publishers. When I mentioned anal sex twice in different submissions, he wrote "Talk to you shrink about fucking women in the ass, not me."

If you've ever disagreed with Merritt, you'll get the same language and response. Merritt is not a people person. If he doesn't like you or your message, you will get an explosive aggressive email.

Merritt wrote and printed a journal called "Samisdat." He had other listed contributors and editors. He finally admits that "Robin Michelle Clifton" is a nom de plum when he explores his "feminine side." Here he admits he hadn't had sex when he was 20 years old. During the wild, crazy, hippy Berkeley years? In this essay he discusses his sexual identity and thoughts on "mating." He writes "It says a lot about male confusion and insecurity that I subconsciously equated female social equality with nuclear war, even as I consciously and editorially embraced the idea (to the point of adopting the pseudonym Robin Michelle Clifton for editorial essays.)" Sounds like Merritt has "issues." His essays sound like his personal journal entries. He likes to write and read about himself?

Merritt goes on to say that he "prevented a potentially deadly gangfight in Berkeley, 1969, by allowing one of the leaders of the opposing gang to hit me, repeatedly, for over an hour, neither flinching nor taking my hands out of my pockets." He states "my opponent eventually ran away in tears, his gang melting into the night behind him in confused silence." I highly doubt that happened. Acid?

He states he's actually an "ecologist and environmental journalist by profession." It sounds like maybe he got out of going to war by moving to Quebec, Canada. He said circulation never topped 300. It was basically a personal project. When he finally got paid work he quit.

https://books.google.com/books?id=9bBMRwx0y94C&lpg=PA29&ots=FZzCOUWsQ8&dq=%22robin%20michelle%20clifton%22&pg=PA27#v=onepage&q=%22robin%20michelle%20clifton%22&f=false

Seems Merritt Clifton told people he was a "Nixon staffer." People nicknamed him "Meritorious Clifton." Fitting. Seems Merritt loves to put down other people and their work. Based on the nasty things he told me about other people he's also a major negative gossip.

http://www.thedailybulletin.com/postal/mansion.htm

Seems most other writers hate him. "And Merritt (aka Robin Michelle) Clifton of Samisdat, as I suspected, is a real nut: a bearded, skinny freak spoiling for a fight."

https://thoughtcatalog.com/richard-grayson/2016/05/a-27-year-olds-diary-entries-from-mid-june-1978-2/

Merritt Clifton and his second wife wrote for "Animal's Agenda." They were married January 26, 1990 at Cowansville, Quebec, Canada. "In 1992 the board of directors replaced Merritt Clifton, news editor since 1988. His wife, Kim Bartlett, editor since 1986, resigned. The board explained the shift due to declining circulation of the magazine and a feeling that it had become too much the vehicle of one couple's opinions. The board also felt there were problems from housing of thirty-three feral and stray cats in the office that were present at the time of the board meeting."

And this is why Merritt Clifton is pro TNR, because of his love of cats. It's odd that there are tons of independent research which shows TNR only works in a small vacuum yet he denies the research. He relies on a few anecdotal observations by cat rescuers. TNR is supposed to reduce a cat population to zero within seven years. The populations keep increasing. I am not pro killing cats. I practice trap, neuter and rehome indoors. I fully support spay and neuter. I just am willing to state that TNR will not reduce cat populations. I see these feral colonies all the time as I'm brought there by wildlife complaints.

On the pitbull issue he uses independent research and statistics and agrees with it. Then he calls out others for not agreeing with the research, statistics, reports by ER pediatrician doctors... While I've fostered and adopted out a pit before, I would rescue a different breed in the future. Many different breeds will die in the shelter. I would choose a safer breed.  I've seen too many horrible tragedies in person. It's just not worth the risk. I am not pro killing pitbulls. I know that not all pitbulls will cause tragedies. Unfortunately it's impossible to know which ones will under what circumstances. Better safe than sorry.

When I first met Merritt in an email exchange online in 2006 he confused LA Animal Services and Los Angeles County Animal Care and Control. They are two different very large shelters. I helped him get some shelter statistics for Southern California. He didn't realize Los Angeles City is an incorporated city. Los Angeles County is the physical county which includes all incorporated and unincorporated cities. The county does animal control for all unincorporated cities and a few incorporated ones by contract. Anyone who does not live in LA and is active in the local animal community would get those numbers confused. 

Merritt Clifton used to research non-profits and report about them. Since he started a non-profit in 2014 I decided to take a look. He used to point out the salaries in the budget thinking everyone should be a volunteer. He and his wife both take a salary and get other benefits. I looked at their 990's. They don't include the ad revenue on the website in their 990's. I wonder if Merritt is keeping that ad revenue for himself. The site is owned by the non-profit so the non-profit should get the money. Their 990's are here. https://www.guidestar.org/profile/46-4933994 EIN is 46-4933994. 

Here is Merritt Clifton's 990 for 2015. They took in $167K then spent $87K on salaries. Merritt took $35,000 in salary and benefits. 


990 for 2014


In 2016 Merritt Clifton gave himself $42K in salary and benefits. Beth Clifton gave herself the same amount. Most of the money is going toward salaries. It's also spent on electronics. How would one know what money is being paid on his personal computer or the non-profit one. He didn't include a list of assets. 

Merritt Clifton posted his home address on his website. I see the home selling in 2006 the year of his divorce. I just checked court records. He owns it with Beth. It was merely a transfer from his ex-wife.

2260 N Bluff Rd, Greenbank, Washington 98253. It's a trailer home which Merritt Clifton and Lydia Kim Rogers bought in 1996.

Merritt Clifton posts his bank account and bank routing number online on his website asking people to wire him money. I redacted the numbers.

"The ANIMALS 24-7 wire transfer instructions are:

ANIMALS 24-7 c/o Peoples Bank,  107 South Main St.,  Suite C101,  Coupeville, WA  98239;  360-678-3215.

Routing number:  ******

Account number:  ******"

Merritt Clifton likes to make pictures of the people he writes about. Here's one I just made.
