It actually was initiated in April or early May of 1992 by a phone call. The phone call was to inform
PD that child was back from Germany and now residing in Louisiana. From there visitation was discussed. PD and Denise started planning a trip for child to come visit father.
In a nutshell communications were difficult, to say the least, and father was forced to file a complaint with the DA’s office for violation of the last child visitation order that was filed with the county.
Once this was done father was advised to actually go to Louisiana and attempt to see child. The trip was made in June of 1992. Once PD arrived in Louisiana he drove to the address given to him by Denise. He was surprised to discover they didn’t live there and hadn’t for quite some time. He called the phone number he had and spoke to Denise advising he was in town and wanted to see his daughter. He told her where he was staying and she said she would call back. She never did, shortly after the conversation a police car pulled in to the hotel parking lot where PD was staying. They never got out of car, just left. Well he tried calling again with no luck so he left as scheduled the next day. While waiting to leave, sitting in the plane he noticed a woman standing outside jumping up and down flipping off the plane so to speak. It was Denise who had apparently figured out when he was leaving and decided to see him off with yelling and rude gestures with her fingers. The lady sitting next to PD noticed her first and brought it to his attention. He gave her a little history on the situation and they exchanged contact information. She assured him that she would be glad to testify to what she had witnessed at the airport. Once he returned home he reported what had happened on his trip to the DA.
Nothing was heard about the situation one way or another till PD and his new wife Maggie returned from Nevada on Sunday July 26, 1992, which happened to be the day they were married. They had a messege on their answering machine from Mike Charnard who is an officer in the dept. he was in Louisiana trying to find the child to bring her back to Napa to her Father.
Well as it turned out they did find her, as well as her 3 yr old twin brother and sister with their mother, hiding in a closet with a loaded 9 mil hand gun. Wow! She was arrested and driven back from Louisiana to California in a paddy wagon, staying in a different jail every night. (Probably the best thing in my opinion, she deserved it I would soon find out)
