The Murder Of Margaret Dempsey At The Hands Of Pinal County’s Death Squad

This is a story of how Pinal County killed one of their own senior residents by not allowing her to stay in her home as she wished. Without regard to any of her wishes or desires, Pinal County removed Margaret from her home, placed her in a group home, and left her there to die. 4 months after placement she reluctantly submitted to their wishes and died. She died because no one cared for her anymore. If she was allowed to stay in her home, as she wished, she would most likely still be alive today. She would not have been relegated to being just “somebody else”, as she was in the group home. This story details just how Pinal County Fiduciary office murdered Margaret Dempsey. I always knew that state-sanctioned murder took place. I just never though it took place in America, today. But, it does.

This is a story that everybody should pay attention to if they want their estate to transfer to whomever they list as their heirs. This is a story of how a government agency can and will take your home away from you, sell it, move you into a group home, and leave you there until you die. The worst thing about this is, they will wait until you can’t do anything about it.

Margaret's dead feetIf you value your estate and you want to make sure that it goes to your heirs, DON’T BE A RESIDENT OF PINAL COUNTY  WHEN YOU DIEYOU DON’T WANT TO BE ANOTHER STATISTIC

Actually you shouldn’t even spend your golden years in Pinal County.  They can and will liquidate your estate against your wishes if that’s what they wish to do. It doesn’t matter what your last will and testament states. They’ve already done it to one of their most respected senior citizens of over 40 years. (Margaret moved here from Chicago 41 years ago.) The evidence is in the action they took and if they can do it to one person, they can do it to anyone, including you.

All Margaret ever wanted, was to stay in the home she and her husband had built, to live their golden years in. Pinal County, however, didn’t allow Margaret to do that. Even though she wanted to live her last days in her own home, Pinal County wouldn’t allow Margaret her last wish. Because of their callous action, Margaret had to die completely alone, without love in an assisted living home she had no wish to live in. She was forced to die the way Pinal County wanted her to die, cold and alone.

First I need to lay down some groundwork;  I first met Margaret at East Mesa Baptist Church. I was taking Alfred there 3 times a week, twice on Sundays, and on Wednesdays. Margaret always came with Charlie and Zuli but only on Sundays. I think because she couldn’t drive to church herself even though her church, St George’s Catholic Church, was only 3 blocks away from her house. I, being a Methodist, was a bit out of my normal routine, making sure Alfred made it to a Baptist church. But, never-the-less, we got there three times a week for the 3 years that I took care of Alfred. It was on a Sunday in the summer of 2001, after a service when I said to her, “If you ever need any help with anything, give me a call” and she asked for my phone number. So I gave her it to her. It was about a year later when she first called me. She asked for a ride to a doctor’s office for an appt she had. This would be the first time I helped Margaret.

A little background on me should be laid out here. I come from a family of people who like to take care of other people. Even though my family moved around most, all of my childhood, my parents almost always had become the go-to people in whatever neighborhood they moved to. My parents have always had this innate quality that enables them to help other people, regardless of where they lived. It seemed that a lot of other kids and even their families in whichever neighborhood we moved into would befriend my parents and end up being the beneficiaries of my parents’ help. But then, my parents just call it “being good neighbors”. As they moved into their retirement years, they found themselves being “good friends” to more and more people from church, and the mall where they walk every morning, and even next-door neighbors. They had to nurse some of their friends from their church or neighborhood, quite often until their death, simply to make life easier for them. My sister takes in disabled and handicapped children who have nobody else to take care of them. She’s been doing this for the last 25 years. I take care of people who can’t take care of themselves because I can understand what it’s like to be disabled because I am myself. I’m disabled due to a severe closed head injury that I received when a drunk driver ran a red light and t-boned the car I was riding in, at the end of 1984.

December 24th, 1984 shortly after midnight I was taken by helicopter to St Joseph’s hospital in Phoenix. I was unconscious as a result of this severe closed head injury that I received in that car accident that happened when the drunk driver ran the red light at the intersection of Mill and Southern in Tempe. I remained in a coma for 4 weeks and when I woke up, all I knew was that I had to get out of the hospital, because, at that time, I couldn’t stand to be in a hospital. I was thirty years old and trying to start my own construction business. So it didn’t help that I didn’t have insurance, nor did the man who hit us. Fortunately, my fiancee had, uninsured motorist, on her $30,000 policy, but the hospital got that to cover my $84,000 hospital bill. When I came out of the coma, I tried getting out of bed, but I couldn’t stand. I didn’t realize it at the time, but I couldn’t stand because my right side was paralyzed due to the two strokes I had while I was in the coma. I still live with residual partial paralysis on my right side even to this day. Having lost most of my abilities, due to this tragedy, I know what it’s like to live with a disability. My brain damage has caused me numerous problems. Just one of those is with my memory. This is what gives me an advantage when dealing with people with Alzheimer’s and dementia. I know what they go through not being able to remember what they need to remember, to get through the day. Because I have to live with it myself. I just always figured that God gave me these disabilities, so I can help other people that experience the same thing that I did and still do. Knowing what it’s like to have problems with your memory, can be very advantageous when dealing with people who have Alzheimer’s and dementia. I can more than empathize with them, I can understand why they think like they think.

I also figured that was why God didn’t take me 30 years ago. So I can help people who have trouble remembering what they’re supposed to do when they’re supposed to do it. It’s how I ended up taking care of Margaret as well Alfred, Frank, and David, and too many others to list when I was working at the Pavilion Guest Home. I also have the privilege of taking care of people who don’t have dementia or Alzheimer’s. Unfortunately, their problems are worse. Robert for example is dealing with cancer, deep vein thrombosis, and one kidney. They removed one if his kidneys because they found cancer in it. He knows better than anyone what I’ve had to go through to take care of Margaret because I’ve done most of that while helping him, which started in 2007.

Probably because Margaret came from a socialite background, (her parents were very wealthy prior to the stock market crash of 1928 and the ensuing depression) she has always had a set of very special needs. She is allergic to a host of foods that she can’t eat as well as certain medications. These medications will make her deathly ill or will outright kill her if administered. At one time we compiled a list of these foods and medications that have any kind of impact on Margaret’s health. We tried to keep the list updated as best we could. Margaret was brought up to be quite particular as well, which is just another way of saying picky. I learned, over the years, that is was probably innate to this age of women who were brought up in the manner Margaret was at the time Margaret was reared. It was said by her primary care doctor that Margaret’s social circle was her doctors as she has and always has had many medical problems. Just one of those is type 2 diabetes. Since I’ve known her she has always controlled it with oral medication. Margaret also has numerous idiosyncrasies like her inability to sniffle. No matter where she is or what she’s doing if her nose starts to run she has to use a Kleenex to blow her nose, even if she’s sitting at the dinner table eating. The habit may be disgusting but Margaret was brought up this way, never to sniffle the mucus back into her nose. My guess is, she does this to be a lady because she was taught, it’s unladylike to sniffle unless she’s crying.

All the help I’ve given Margaret, I’ve done while helping other people at the time and without compensation except for an occasional dinner afterward. Robert can tell you how many times I’ve had to abandon him to go out to help Margaret. But then Margaret had little ways of making you feel guilty if didn’t go out to help her. This could possibly be why Margaret decided to put me in charge of her estate when she dies. Because I have known Margaret for over 13 years and I am the only person that’s taken care of her for most of those 13 years.
Charlie and Zuli used to help her out quite a bit, but they had their own financial problems (some of which Margaret has helped bail them out of) and hadn’t always been able to be there when she needed them. They used to be the first people Margaret called, but they often had something else they had to do when Margaret needed their help, so Margaret called me to help her out. It wasn’t long until I became the first one she called, because she started turning to me before she asked anybody else for help. But then she knew that I would always be there to help her.

At first, it started out just taking Margaret to a doctor’s appointment, or to get her hair done or do some shopping. These appointments were every two or three months apart, but that changed over time to two or three appointments a week. It soon became a daily experience where I would have to go out and help Margaret on a daily basis, without compensation with the exception of a dinner out. Once in a while, she gave me money for gas, but nothing else. In return for all this help, she wanted me to leave me her estate when she died because she felt that I knew her better than anyone else and that was the reason why she wanted to leave everything to me. She may have wanted to do this because I was the only one who ever cared about her when nobody else did.

In order to allow me to keep helping Margaret, I have needed help from Margaret from time to time, mostly in the form of auto repairs, to keep my truck on the road so I could keep helping her. Two or three times that I can remember, she’s given me the money to fix my truck so I could continue helping her. Actually 75% of the miles that went on my truck, were put on it so I could help Margaret. I would probably have a hundred thousand miles less on my truck right now if I didn’t have to drive out Margaret’s house on a daily basis for close to six years in a row to help her. This is probably why she sold me her car for $1, 4 years ago. It seems that since she sold me that car, though, she’s expected a lot more from me. I was happy to provide it, but it has interfered with some of the help I would provide others and sometimes, they had to do without, simply so Margaret could get a light bulb put in or something else that she wanted, like taking her mail to the post office since she would never use her own mailbox for fear that her mail would be stolen. On a side note; whenever I took Margaret to the post office to send her mail out, she wouldn’t let me drop it in the drive-through box as she still didn’t trust that either, she made me take her mail inside to drop in the box inside the post office. I only say this to give you an idea of how hard it was to help Margaret out as she wasn’t always happy with just helping her; she wanted me to help her in ways that not only inconvenienced me but also others, without regard. I kept telling myself that it wasn’t my place to judge Margaret. That’s God’s job.
Five years prior to my moving in with Margaret, I made daily trips out to her house to check on her blood glucose, to see she how was doing and take her out to dinner. While she appreciated this, she seldom gave me money for gas, and never gave me anything for my time. This was taking me away from my duties with other people that I help and often those who depended on me had to do without, simply so I could help Margaret. But then Margaret was the oldest of all of them and they were all nice and understanding enough to allow me to help Margaret.

Two years prior to my move in with Margaret I was helping Frank, who was dying of pics disease and I had to schedule my time carefully, to help Margaret. Pics disease is another form of dementia that makes the patient very angry. Susan, his wife, thought at the time I came to them, that I was a godsend simply because of my ability to work with difficult patients. Even though Frank got upset with me many times I was always able to calm him down. This is something that other caregivers had a lot of trouble doing, due to what Pic’s disease does, to make you very angry.

It’s a type of dementia that eats up the memory but it changes the personality first and it changed Frank’s for the worse. It made him more hostile toward everyone he didn’t know, and sometimes toward those he did know. Frank also didn’t have use of his legs as he had been wheelchair-bound for several years and even simple tasks like helping to stand Frank up or sit him down would set Frank off and he would get really angry for no reason. But because I have an understanding of what it’s like to live without your memory and a lot of other abilities, it was easier for me to work with Frank than it was for many of his other caregivers. Frank’s disease took him in the spring of 2012. It was shortly after that when Margaret’s doctor said that she had to have 24/7 care and since I was available to move in to take care of Margaret in the summer of 2012, I moved in with her in September, one month after I had my hip replaced.

Although I started helping Margaret in 2002 or 2003, I really started helping her right after Alfred died in 2004. At first, it was just a trip to a doctor, for Margaret had many doctors. Her primary care doctor says that Margaret’s social circle was her doctors. I got to take her to most all of them, not just her primary care doctor, I took to her podiatrist, her ophthalmologist, her cardiologist, Chiropractor, orthopedist, and physical therapy when she needed it. Every week I would take her to her hair appt, often to church, and shopping. These trips would grow over time probably because she used up her other resources (other friends who would give her rides), or she would lose their help when they passed away. Over the years, I found myself helping Margaret more and more, to where after just a few years it became daily help, even just to check her blood glucose. During this time, I got to know Margaret intimately, as well as all of her doctors. I can take you to the doctor who injected her knee with so much prednisone that all the blood vessels in her eye burst and made her completely blind for 2-3 days. The only reason, we could figure, was that he failed to see that she was diabetic when he injected her with the prednisone. I can take you to Dr. Park, the doctor that gave her a portion of her eyesight back with injections directly into her eyeball. She may have gotten back 5% of her sight, but no more than that.

It was then that my duties really picked up with Margaret’s care. I then started taking her shopping whenever she needed it, as well as to her hair appt every Friday, to the post office almost every day since she wouldn’t put her mail in her mailbox for the postman to pick up because she didn’t trust it to stay there until the postman came. She always thought someone would steal it. I eventually learned that it was her need to have someone help her, which drove her to call me on a daily basis, to take her to the post office or shopping. It was always something that she didn’t have to do, she just wanted to, regardless of who else it inconvenienced. She just wanted to be with someone. Yet all this time she still wanted to live in her house.

She had previously asked me to move in with her but I refused. 3 times I refused but when Dr. Lawson said she had to have 24/7 care, it became evident to me that God wanted me to move in with her to take care of her. Her greatest desire was to stay living at home. She never wanted to be put in a group home. We had already looked at some group homes and even though they were nice, she didn’t want to be placed there. She just wanted to stay home. Needless to say, this is something that never happened after Adult Protective Services stepped in, issued me with a restraining order, and moved me out of her house. Moreover, they expected me to move out everything I own in two hours. It took me two weeks to move everything in. I still had a major portion of my belongings in her house when it was put on the market with the description that said, “buyer must remove contents. Again, needless to say, I wasn’t able to retrieve anything. 90% of everything that was mine along with everything that was going to be mine was sold without my or Margaret’s consent. I call that theft……..theft by, a government agency. What would you call it? They did it to Margaret and me, who’s to say, they won’t do it to you?

I was trying to change her diet to foods that would allow her to live that to 100 years old, whereas her other caregiver (Helena) didn’t think I should take these certain foods out of her diet. This was simply because she (Helena) liked them. It didn’t matter that these foods were killing her; all that mattered was that she liked them. That is the inherent problem with the foods I was trying to limit in Margaret’s diet, they’re addictive, and it’s very difficult to say no to them. Margaret and I discussed this more than once. Actually, we discussed it on many occasions. Margaret knew what these foods were doing to her yet when they were placed in front of her to eat, she ate them, forgetting what they were doing to her. This was evidenced the last time I saw her in court. She looked 8 years older than when I was living with her. This is something even Jacqui can even attest to. She mentioned last winter when she came out here that Margaret looked like she could live to be 103 or 104 years old. The way she looked when I saw her last, gave me the impression that she wouldn’t live throughout the year, a very drastic change from last winter.

My only goal when I moved in with Margaret was to see her to her 100 birthday and hopefully more, but that goal has been eliminated by the restraining order that was placed on me in regards to Margaret and worst of all, the removal of Margaret from her home.

I was initially told that Margaret would be allowed to stay home, but I see now, that this is something that couldn’t possibly happen. Keeping Margaret in her home is very expensive. I know because of the money it was costing me to help keep her there. I was relieved for their action of removing me from Margaret’s care at first until I realized, that although it may have been the best thing for me, I can see that it wasn’t the best thing for Margaret and I wouldn’t have been surprised if she didn’t last until the end of the year. She didn’t. October 19, she died. Alone, lonely and in a strange place, feeling that nobody cared. As far as I’m concerned, it would be nice to know who is responsible for removing me from caring for her and ultimately cutting her life short.

4 months after having my power of attorney removed and Margaret placed in a group home; the house was on the market for sale with a notice whoever buys the house has to remove the belongings inside the house. The problem is those belongings inside the house belonged to me, not the owner who was a complete invalid at the time of my removal. Adult protective services and Pinal County Fiduciary Office sold something that they had no right to sell, the house that was supposed to become mine, as per Margaret’s wishes. I think, that they thought they were doing this simply under the premise that they were protecting Margaret, which they obviously weren’t.

Margaret was put in a strange environment where she couldn’t see, she could hardly hear, and she knew nobody in her new world. This is not the way Margaret wanted to die. She wanted to stay in her home until she died.

 

 

 

 

Because of this, those responsible are guilty of murder. Those responsible are Geraldine Role, Ernie Appel, and Judge Lawrence A. Wharton who ordered the action, without proper investigation, to remove me. All of these individuals are, in my opinion, are guilty of murder and should be removed from office and held accountable for their actions.

This is how Pinal county murders its own residents. They’ve already done this to Margaret. Nobody can prove that they won’t do it to your family. Not even you!

The Consequences Of Their Actions; The Death Of Margaret Without Dignity

Margaret's dead feetThis is a story of the death of Margaret, a travesty of justice. It’s what happens when people jump to conclusions without obtaining all the facts (or even half the facts) and don’t consider the consequences of the actions they take. This is a story of how one of the most respected seniors of Apache Junction was not allowed to live as she wished. This is a story of how she was killed at the hands of Pinal County Fiduciary Department and Adult Protective Services. This is a story of how the lives of her two caregivers were turned into shambles by this same department. This is a story of how to not treat the elderly in order to protect them. And, unfortunately, this is a story that didn’t have to happen. Margaret shouldn’t be dead, yet. Most importantly, This is a story that should NEVER happen again.

Their removal of Margaret from her home against her wishes and the subsequent sale of her home ultimately killed her. You don’t need to take my word for it, her doctor will tell you the same thing. Margaret’s best chance for reaching 100 years old, her primary goal, was best if she could have stayed in her home and I could have continued to take care of her. Too bad they didn’t know that was what she wanted. But then, they never interviewed me.

Due to the actions of Geraldine Roll, Ernie Appel and the (honorable?) Judge Wharton, Margaret’s life was taken from her, her caregiver’s lives were trashed, and Margaret’s wishes were never realized. One caregiver lost a job that she quit a good career to do, just because she loved Margaret so much. I lost most everything I owned and all of what I would’ve owned if Margaret could have waited to pass away in two or three years. Yet, her strength wasn’t strong enough without my care.30365245-portrait-of-an-unhappy-senior-lady-with-eyes-glasses36029009-portrait-of-an-elderly-woman-with-problem17062891-old-sad-woman-on-a-gray-background

Three lives were either lost or completely ruined, because of one agency’s failure to fully investigate whatever they thought they were supposed to investigate. Since they couldn’t charge me with anything and Margaret was never in any danger or apparent threat, had no marks or injuries anywhere on her body, there was absolutely no reason for the action they took.

stock-photo-34489370-keeping-the-elderly-in-shape

One would have thought, with the way Margaret looked for a 98yr, they would never have questioned the care that Margaret was getting. She looked like she was in her eighties. She looked great for a 98yr woman. But for some reason, they did question her care, yet they never questioned me. The question that I never got answered, is why. Why did they remove Margaret from her home? Why did they sell her home out from under her and leave her to die somewhere with no rights and no connection to her loved ones? Why did they take her dignity away from her?

36029009-portrait-of-an-elderly-woman-with-problem

In respect to her own care, she had no say-so in what they did to her. All I know, is that they were not concerned about how she was living. They weren’t even concerned about how she died. Apparently. they weren’t concerned about her at all. I wish I could tell you what their concern was.

11532114-close-up-view-of-the-homeowner-insurance-policy

I often wonder if the reason that they could have done this was that the county wasn’t getting the optimum tax return on her property because the valuation on her property was frozen in 2006 to keep the taxes low. This is something most seniors do. Her taxes were still being assessed at a 2006 valuation, not 2015 valuation. I don’t want to think that our government could have taken her life by being that micro-managing. But then, I’ve been accused of being naive more than once.

Their actions were definitely deadly for Margaret. Although I’m still alive, my life has been totally ruined. I break down every time I see a commercial for a reverse mortgage, simply because it reminds me of Margaret. I try not to think about the way Margaret had to die, because of the actions of these people, but I can’t help it. I end up breaking down when I do. It was exactly the way she didn’t want to die. Why was she forced to? Because of the actions of these people, Geraldine Roll, Ernie Appel, and the (honorable?) Judge Wharton, to not choose life over death.

And all for want of a reason…I can now understand how people who’ve lost everything to a natural disaster like flood, fire or earthquake feel. I have to accept what has happened. Except for the fact that their loss was due to a natural disaster, or “an act of God”, where they had no choice, it wouldn’t feel so bad. Margaret’s and my loss was directly due to the irresponsibility of a “gung-ho” gang of county officials who sought nothing more than to destroy the lives of those helping others.

Margaret's dead feet

Too bad their actions ended up being the death of Margaret.

It was fear that led them to do this. Fear directs everything that happens in a government run by Republicans. With a party designed to be controlled by fear, what else can you expect?

That means that it was fear that was responsible for the death of Margaret.

The Loss

THE LOSS REALIZED IN THE COURSE OF THIS ACTION.

Below is a summary of the items in Margaret’s house that I was NEVER given an opportunity to retrieve and the money Margaret owed me that was irretrievably lost due to the action of the Pinal County Death Squad.

gallery-thumbnails

  1. Piano – $5000 – This is one of the biggest losses for me, as I’ve never lived without my piano.
  2. Invisible Fence – $2000
  3. Microwave – $ 100
  4. Various food, spices and Stevia – $220
  5. Cordless Drill set- $230
  6. Special step stool – $ 180 (specialized for handicapped people)
  7. Lumber – $600 (for making bed cabinets)
  8. Small appliances and kitchen tools (hand mixer, can opener, electric mixer, food processor, crock pot, and various items that will only be realized as lost when I need them and go to look for them only to realize that they’ve been taken away from me ) – $2000
  9. Everything that Margaret left me, inside the house, in here will – $22,000 – $32,000
  10. The most important loss – MARGARET

In lieu of losing all of the above along with the house, time spent caring for Margaret in house – 600 – 12 hour days = 7200hrs @ $20/hour = $144,000 (what Margaret would have left me, with her house, as per her wishes.

NONE OF THIS COMPARES TO THE LOSS MARGARET SUSTAINED.

SHE LOST HER LIFE.

How Pinal County Steals The Dignity Of Its Seniors

pinal-county-courthouse-arizona-8953072

This is a story of a government agency gone rogue and in the process killed one of their most respected senior citizen’s and destroyed the lives of her caregivers, simply because of the lack of a proper investigation. They took action based on assumptions, not on facts which were readily available.

governing board : businessman talking on business meeting

Unfortunately, this anti-dignity board decided that they didn’t need all the facts before they acted. In doing so, they directly caused the death of my oldest and best friend, Margaret Dempsey.

government board : MOSCOW - JANUARY 27: People work in an office in day-time on January 27, 2011 in Moscow , Russia. On whole 370 thousands of small enterprises operate in Moscow.

In their action, the Pinal County Fiduciary department’s anti-dignity board, Geraldine Roll and Ernie Appel,  deemed it best, to take Margaret’s estate completely away from her, before she died. As I had moved everything I owned into Margaret’s home long before, to take care of her, they auctioned off what was left of my estate also. This was all done without my knowledge or (as Margaret’s appointed guardian) my approval.

It didn’t matter what Margaret’s wishes were in this case (she wanted to die in her home). It didn’t matter that Margaret couldn’t qualify for hospice while I was taking care of her. (She was too healthy.) It didn’t matter that Margaret was one of the founding members of the Catholic Daughters of America, Arizona Chapter at St. Georges Catholic Church. It didn’t matter that she had lived in her house for over 40 years doing nothing more than helping other people in need.

All that seemed to matter, was that they were determined to not let Margaret live out her life in her own home. They probably thought, that they were “protecting” Margaret. Yet, Margaret is dead, now. And she didn’t die how she wanted to. She died penniless, alone, unwanted and in a completely strange place. Not what she wanted or deserved. Apparently they weren’t concerned about where she wanted to live, or die.

Because of this, her death is directly due to the action of the (?)honorable Judge Lawrence M Wharton, who based his decisions on incomplete and erroneous evidence.  His decision to remove Margaret’s caregivers and remove her from her home, stole Margaret’s dignity and took her life. He never asked any questions of her primary caregiver and in doing so, his action forced Margaret into a group home to die, something she had long fought……to no avail.

The minute they moved Margaret out of her house, they robbed her of all her dignity. This is clear evidence that the Pinal County Adult Protective Services and the Fiduciary department is not dignity minded. They don’t really care how their seniors live or if they have any dignity left at the end of their life.

This is how Pinal County Murdered one of its most respected seniors. Did they do this legally? I don’t know, but if they can kill Margaret in this fashion, what’s to keep them from doing it to you or anyone in your family?

If you live in Pinal County, you have a few choices;

  1. Move out of Pinal County
  2. Push to change the law
  3. Push to change gov depts; County Fiduciary and Adult Protect Services
  4. Donate to our Preservation of Dignity fund to keep this from happening again. (You don’t have to live in Pinal County to donate.)

For me, my estate is already gone. I lost my best friend and who would have been my lover had she been 30 years younger. I’ve lost my piano, which I’ve never had to live without for my entire life. I’ve lost inventory for my business (which is now all but defunct). I’ve lost thousands of household items. And worst of all I’ve lost most of my dignity.

The Conspiracy Argument

The Conspiracy Argument

I remember taking Margaret down to the county assessor’s office to lock in the valuation of her house. approximately 9 or 10 years prior Pinal county putting her to death. She did this because she recognized that her funds were running low and she feared that she soon wouldn’t be able to pay her property taxes if the property value continued to climb.

When Pinal County offer this program to seniors, to give them property tax relief because of their limited incomes, Margaret decided take advantage of it, because she was determined to live to 100 years old and she feared that her rock steady income from her pension from Illinois was not going to be able to cover the tax increases, as her property values continued to climb. That was about in the year of 2005.

With her property values froze at 2005 valuations, the county had been losing income from Margaret’s property for close to ten years, if not the full ten years.

With Margaret still residing in her home, ten years after freezing her valuation, it’s difficult to say exactly how much money in lost tax revenues, the county had been losing. Since the property freezing the valuation doesn’t freeze the taxes, it only freezes the value of the property, lowering the value of  Pinal County overall. Without ever given a reason for my removal from taking care of Margaret, I can only assume that the Fiduciary Department that removed me, had nothing else more in mind. Regardless of their primary intent, their actions by removing me directly were responsible for Margaret’s death, making the end result of their actions criminal at least. For if they had not removed me, Margaret could probably still be alive. It would have been her 100th birthday this year.

Margaret was one of those rare breeds that had a long life in her genes. I’m sure when the county set up this program, they didn’t expect the people who took advantage of it, to live as long as Margaret had lived.

For this reason, the county may have had the motivation to remove Margaret from her home, put it on the market and sell it to the highest bidder, knowing that whoever purchased the home would not have the ability to freeze the valuation at the 2005 valuation, $50,000 lower than what it currently could be.

Since it was the county fiduciary’s office that committed this offense, there are just too many questions, unanswered, to not consider the county’s desire to eliminate lost sources or tax revenue, in the action they took against Margaret.

This leaves me wondering,
why did Pinal County kill Margaret Dempsey?
the reason that  I think influenced their action;

Irresponsibility – The irresponsibility of not fully investigating the case along with the carbohydrate addiction of those involved was a direct cause of their abhorrent behavior. Their carbohydrate addiction forced them to take ill-advised actions to stem a problem that didn’t exist, except in their twisted minds. Their addiction didn’t allow them to think rationally.

Unfortunately, it’s an addiction the whole world lives with. That’s why the World Needs a Cure;

Margaret sure would have benefited.
