Chapter 62 second quarter

On July 24, 1934, Xian Tai was born in a farm family in Oklahoma.Interestingly, a father from India and a mother from Ireland (or Holland) gave their third child a Spanish name.For the first ten years of her life, she was called Chanta Louise Sangel. When Xiantai was six years old, her father died, and her mother took her four children to Los Angeles to visit relatives and friends.Before long, the mother was drinking and becoming a prostitute.The children don't have decent clothes to wear, and they often eat the last meal without the next meal.Xiantai was begging, wandering and stealing on the street all day long at a young age. At the age of 10, she was called to the police by a shop owner for stealing a block of cheese.Decades later, the body of Dawe Kazdin was found in that same neighborhood.

There is a coffee shop near Xiantai's home. The owner is a kind couple. They allow Xiantai to keep warm in the shop in winter and give her some food from time to time.Not long after the cheese incident, the owner and his wife obtained the consent of Xiantai's mother and sent her to the home of the proprietress's sister in Kasan City, the capital of Nevada, more than 400 miles away.The host of the house, Edwin Chubb, is a US military officer stationed there, and his wife, Mary, was a Hollywood playwright.This wealthy couple in their 40s has no flesh and blood of their own. Before Xiantai, they had adopted a boy who was four years younger than Xiantai.Like the Xiantai family, the Chabos were originally from Oklahoma.

For the first time in her new home, Xiantai has her own room and the food and clothing that she once dreamed of.The only thing that bothered her was that some classmates in school made fun of her Indian surname and Spanish name from time to time.So when she was 11 years old, Xiantai changed her name to Shandi Qiabo after the Qiabo couple completed the formal adoption procedures.Shandi is Xiantai's English pronunciation, and the spelling is almost exactly the same.Later, she extended Shanti, Shanzhuo and other names similar to Shandi. It should be said that Shandi’s new life is happy. She is a member of the school’s cheerleading team, choir and various clubs. She once participated in the election for the post of Minister of the Student Union, with a B average. She goes to church with the whole family every Sunday.But she occasionally relapsed. At the age of 16, Shandi was sent to the police station for stealing lipstick in a store, and the matter was finally let go.During this period, her biological mother made a special trip from Los Angeles to see her, hoping to pick her up, but Shandi flatly rejected her mother's request.Years later, she accused her adoptive father, Edwin Chubb, of sexually harassing her, but her credibility was greatly compromised because it was Sandy who spoke.Shandi seldom interacted with her adoptive parents as an adult, and she did not show up when the Chabos died.

Sandy's best friend in middle school was Ruth Tenney. After graduation, the two of them studied secretarial courses together and went to California to find a job together.Although they parted ways later, they still kept in touch from time to time.What Ruth didn't know was that Xiantai later used Ruth Tenney's name many times to forge checks and real estate deeds, open overseas accounts, and even register short companies. Xian Tai once told people that in 1962, she entered the Journalism Department of the University of California, Santa Barbara to study for two years.She later told others that she attended the school for four years and earned a degree in the mid-1950s.But there was no record in the student files at Santa Barbara of any of Shantae or Shandi, or Sandra, or any of the other names she had ever used.

Not many people know about Sandy Chapp's first marriage.It was shortly after graduating from high school in 1952, when her classmate Lee Powles enlisted in the U.S. Army.Xiantai later said that it was the military uniform that attracted her, so she lied about being pregnant and urged Li to marry her in a hurry.This fraudulent marriage lasted less than a year before it ended. Sandy went back to find her old middle school sweetheart, Eddie Walker. They married in November 1957, when Eddie graduated from college, and then both moved to Sacramento, the capital of California.After getting married, Sandy changed her name to Sandra Louise Walker and started doing some work in product marketing.As Eddie Walker later recalled, she did a very good job.Eddie started out doing home renovations with his father, but Sandra decided that wasn't enough, and she pushed Eddie to get a degree in architecture.Later Eddie became a pretty good architect.

During this time, Sandra began to show her bad temper and desire for ostentation, luxury, and a luxurious life. On Christmas 1960, she spent $13,000 on presents, which was roughly Eddie's annual income at the time.What puzzled Eddie even more was what happened on February 12, 1961.It was a Sunday, and not long after the couple walked into a shopping mall, Sandra disappeared.It wasn't until Eddie found the center manager that Sandro was taken away by the police for trying to steal a hair dryer.Eddie went to the police station to bail the wife out and said we had enough money to buy 100 hair dryers why would you steal it?Sandra said I wanted to save money.Three days later, Sandra appeared in court and was fined $131.25.This is her first criminal record.

In the second half of 1961, Eddie Walker contracted to build three houses from millionaire and real estate developer Ivan Reit Wagner, and Sandra took the opportunity to work as a bookkeeping secretary in Wagner's company.The following year, Eddie filed a lawsuit against Wagner for the delayed construction due to frequent shortages of project funds.At this time he discovered that Sandra had an affair with Ivan Reit Wagner, who was more than 20 years older than her, and there were rumors among other contractors that Sandra withheld project payments. On September 27, 1963, their son Kent Walker was born.When Eddie arrived at the hospital, he found Wagner in his wife's room.Later in a husband and wife quarrel, Sandra said that Kent was Wagner's son, and later denied that she had not said this.

Soon after, Ivanret Wagner's wife filed for divorce, accusing her husband of adultery with Sandra.This incident was disclosed in the local newspaper, and it was stirred up for a while, and it turned into a scandal.The Walker family had to leave Sacramento and move back to Los Angeles, Sandra's childhood wandering place. In 1965, Eddie Walker helped Shanzhuo register a "Xiantai Construction Consulting Company" with her original name. Of course, Eddie did many specific businesses for her after work.However, Eddie's nightmare was not over.After more than a year, his business account was overdrawn three times. It was not until the bank checked that it was Shanzhuo who forged his signature and used the check to withdraw money. On December 29, 1965, Eddie found his wife missing after get off work, and only the nanny and Kent were at home.It was very late when Sandra finally called back, saying that she had been arrested by the Los Angeles police for illegally using 10 other people's credit cards.The next day, December 30, 1965, the Newark Police Department in the Los Angeles suburbs came to their door and accused Sandra of stealing a car.Four days later, on January 3, 1966, Newark sent another arrest warrant, this time for Sandra, for illegally using someone else's account to buy a large number of items, such as clothes, shoes and hats.It is very rare to have three consecutive criminal records within less than a week.The following is what a lawyer told reporters at the time:

"Let me tell you about the car theft. Sandra walked into a Cadillac dealership in Pavillon Hills and said she had her eye on a white convertible. When she got back from a test drive with the sales manager, she took the The car parked in front of the office building, told the manager to go in and prepare the relevant documents, she went to find a place to park the car, and then drove away in a grandiose manner. She drove the car for three or four months, as if the car was her own Seems like. When the police caught her, she said innocently: 'They asked me to try it, am I trying to drive it?'"

At the end of 1966, Sandra, who was unwilling to be lonely, got mixed up with a man named Wen Laide again.To her surprise, this time Eddie Walker resolutely left their mother and son and moved to Palm Springs, more than 100 miles southeast of Los Angeles.This certainly wasn't the ending Sandra had hoped for.She worked tirelessly several times to go back and forth hundreds of miles, ran to Eddie's residence to make trouble, and played both soft and hard ways on Eddie.One day, Eddie was watching TV in the living room, when he heard the sound of glass shattering in the bedroom, he ran in and saw that it was Sandra who smashed the window with a stone and climbed over the wall to enter the room.In desperation, Eddie had to move back to his hometown of Kasan City, Nevada. On May 1, 1967, the Volkers officially separated. One day in November, Sandra called Eddie to say that Kent had been bitten by a snake and was in danger.When Eddie rushed to Los Angeles on the first flight, Sandra handed him a divorce paper and several pages of "agreement" at the airport, demanding that Eddie pay her $1,400 a month in alimony.What surprised Eddie even more was that Eddie had already signed all these documents.It's not hard to imagine that a court battle was inevitable.

On December 8, 1969, Sandra and Eddie's 12-year marriage finally came to an end.After the divorce, Shanzhuo changed her name back to Xiantai, but she was still unwilling to withdraw from Eddie's life.This Christmas, Xiantai and Wen Laide went to Eddie's house to pick up Kent. Eddie, who is kind by nature, suggested that everyone go to a restaurant for dinner.Xian Tai and Wen Laide drove forward with Kent, Eddie drove his own car to follow, and when they reached a secluded place, the car in front stopped suddenly.Eddie thought their car had broken down and got out to help.Unexpectedly, at this moment Xiantai jumped out of the car grabbing a gun and shot at Eddie.It took Eddie three rings to realize that there was no bullet in the gun at all.Another bad joke. Xiantai continued to commit crimes during the divorce.She was arrested twice, on November 15 and November 25, 1968, in Grindal and Riverside, near Los Angeles, according to police files.So far, Xiantai has a total of six criminal records, large and small. I don't know if it's because of her superior deception skills, or because of her eloquent eloquence, Xian Tai, who has no background, no education, but a lot of criminal records, was actually arrested by a Southern California family in the early 1970s. Health insurance companies called "health management organizations (HMOs)" hire congressional lobbyists, public relations staff who specialize in both houses of Congress.In the United States, major consortium companies have hired lobbyists for Congress. For example, in the early years, lobbyists from tobacco companies told congressmen that smoking was safe, and lobbyists from the brewing industry tried to get congressmen to legislate to lower the age at which teenagers were allowed to drink alcohol.What the insurance company represented by Xian Tai wanted to do this time was to convince the congressmen that they, not doctors, should decide when to operate on patients.This kind of thing that is half eloquent and half deceitful, requires both eloquence and communication, is really perfect for Xiantai.She was stationed in Washington, D.C., the capital, and went in and out of the Senate and House of Representatives every day, dealing with cups and cups, so that her innate talents could be brought into full play, and she was able to do a job with ease.She handed out business cards to everyone she met, and took the opportunity to boast that she was close friends with Catherine Graham, the owner and publisher of The Washington Post, and that the Indian Under-Secretary-General of the United Nations, Sivi Narasenhan, was her son's son. The godfather, and to others, the godfather of Kent was a well-known lawyer, Joseph Gallifano who later served as Secretary of Culture, Education and Health when President Carter formed a cabinet. She also said that she and Nevada Senator Paul Lasalter had an early relationship We know each other from back home, we had a relationship with Senator Aaron Cranston of California, blah, blah, blah.Years later, journalists with good deeds found these celebrities and checked them one by one. They all denied these claims without exception, and many of them had never heard of Xiantai. Nearly 30 years later, in 1998, Monica Lewinsky's scandal with the president was being hyped by the media when Xian Tai and her son were arrested in New York.More than one reporter compared Xiantai back then with Monica at that time.Both of them are from California, and they both came here for the power and power in Washington DC. similarly. How did Xian Tai and Ken Kaimes meet?Some people say that it was Xiantai who chose the single Ken Kaimes from a "Millionaire" magazine as her next target. society.In short, these two like-minded people came together. Kemes has several different spellings, but one thing is for sure, it is a Germanic surname.Like Xiantai, Ken Kemes was born in Oklahoma, but 18 years earlier, the same age as Erin Suleman.His full name is Kenneth Cather Kemes, and every name begins with a K.The three K did not come together by chance. It is said that Ken's father was an admirer of the notorious racial terrorist organization, the Ku Klux Klan, and was even a member of it.In the year Xiantai was born, Kemes moved west with his family to the San Okun Canyon area in central California.Ken Kaimes joined the U.S. Army during World War II. After the war, he met and married Charlotte, a Texas girl 11 years younger than him.After marriage, they have a daughter and a son—Linda, born in 1946; Andrew, born in 1949. Ken and Charlotte started from scratch and bought their first piece of land with the hard-earned money they earned as construction workers.At that time, the highway network was being built on a large scale throughout the United States.They successfully obtained a bank loan and built one of the first motels in California and even in the United States on the land near the highway.Their one-hit success got them out of control, and by the early 1960's they owned more than 30 motels and other properties along California's Pacific Coast. "A man becomes bad when he has money".While Ken no longer needed Charlotte to accompany him as he decorated his house, he also didn't want her to attend his social dinner parties.He could always find some reason to keep Charlotte at home, while he himself stayed outside for several months on the pretext of running a project.Moreover, Ken, who is stingy and obsessed with money, never allows his wife to intervene in the properties of the Kaimes family, and even pocket money is paid out on a monthly basis.Finally, on June 19, 1963, Charlotte officially filed for divorce.In fact, Ken also had this intention a long time ago. The reason why he has not spoken is because his plan to transfer and conceal the property has not been completed.The divorce lawsuit has been going on for two full years.The scheming and money-hungry old Ken, under the planning of a lawyer hired with a lot of money, claimed that he did not want to divorce to delay time, and continued to fiddle with the property. They were all brought home to live with Charlotte.The relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, who were already at odds with each other, became more and more tense, and the two-on-one situation forced Charlotte to retreat and run away from home, so that on September 13, 1965, when the divorce judgment was officially issued, Charlotte Because Dee doesn't live at home, she doesn't get a tile or even a piece of furniture for the Kemes real estate kingdom she's worked so hard for for so many years.She was only allowed to drive away the Cadillac she had been driving for four years, and a total of $78,000 in alimony.Ken was unwilling to pay even this amount in one go, but paid Charlotte $650 a month, which was not enough to live in Los Angeles, where they lived at the time.Charlotte had to move into a small apartment in Newport Beach and found a job in a nearby furniture store.She later became an interior designer there. Since Ken Kaimes met Xiantai, his business model has changed.At that time, the United States was preparing to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the independence of the United States, and Congress established a special committee on the 200th anniversary to preside over the work in this regard.Xiantai persuaded Ken to make a poster with the flags of the 50 states in the United States, which cost less than $1 and sold for $10.They ambitiously threatened to have this painting hung in all post offices and primary and secondary school classrooms in the United States, and they registered a company called "People's Daily Online" for this purpose.Xiantai believes that it is not possible to make a lot of money by selling paintings one by one. The best way is to persuade charities established by some large financial groups, such as Rockefeller Center, Ford Foundation, etc., to sponsor this "patriotism" activities, and then give it to primary and secondary schools for free.Xian Tai ran around looking for opportunities for Ken to show his face. As a veteran of World War II and a millionaire, he gave promotional speeches under the guise of patriotism on various occasions.Ken claims to be an officially recognized "Honorary Ambassador of the Bicentennial of the United States", an unpaid employee of the Congressional Bicentennial Special Committee, and will travel around the world at his own expense to invite the head of government to the United States to participate in the bicentennial celebration on behalf of the committee.Once, Xiantai and Ken found an excuse to come to the special committee office. While Ken was talking with others, Xiantai used the office phone to make calls to try to convince the other party that they were indeed members of the committee. Stop it when you find it.Before leaving, Xiantai stole the letterhead envelopes with the special committee mark, one of which was a piece of waste paper signed by the director of the committee, which was later copied and forged by Xiantai and Ken many times. On February 26, 1974, two uninvited guests showed up at a diplomatic banquet hosted by Vice President Ford at Blair Palace.The Blair Palace is located opposite the White House and is the residence of state guests invited by the President.No one knows how Xiantai and Ken, who had no invitations, escaped the security guards and sneaked into the banquet.On that day, Xiantai was wearing a 19th-century white evening dress, a white beanie fur hat, and a huge rhinestone in his right ear—a diamond imitated by crystal.The Elizabeth Taylor-like outfit and Ken's unseemly bushy hair caught everyone's attention.Xiantai told a guest that her father's native India had a custom of setting a diamond in her right ear; she also told a diplomat's wife that her ancestors were Native American Indians.When another guest bluntly stated that he knew all the other people at the meeting, but had never met Xiantai and Ken, Xiantai put on a big smile and said, "How nice, we have a new friend." Xian Tai and Ken were even able to take pictures with the hosts of the banquet, the then Vice President and later President Ford and his wife, but they were finally politely "invited" out of the gate by the President's guards. The two came to the Rennick Gallery of Smithsonian College adjacent to the Blair Palace, where a dinner was being held for the 10th anniversary of the dean of the college.Xiantai and Ken tried to break in as if nothing had happened, but were stopped by the staff. The next day, several newspapers in Washington, D.C. published reports of two crooks breaking into the state dinner.Xiantai had already prepared for this. In an interview, she told the reporter that they were going to send samples of posters to Renick Art Gallery, but when they met a taxi driver whose English was not good, she couldn’t understand them. The place to go, Xian Tai had to tell him that it was near Blair Palace.As a result, the taxi took them to Blair Palace, but they mistook it for the Rennick Gallery and entered it with the flow of people attending the banquet.It was only when they hurried to Renick's gallery later that they realized they had left the sample poster at Blair Palace. A few days later, Xiantai and Ken broke into the West German embassy's reception for the new Bulgarian ambassador to the United States.A few minutes later, when they were talking and laughing happily with the guests, the wife of the West German ambassador came forward and asked if they had found the wrong place. The experienced Xiantai asked the wife of the ambassador if this was the Belgian embassy.The ambassador's wife thought they had made a mistake, and immediately sent a driver to take Xiantai and Ken to the Belgian embassy in the embassy's luxury concierge car. The Belgian embassy was in darkness, but Xiantai still rang the doorbell calmly.She told the staff who opened the door that they were invited to the dinner, and the staff told them that the dinner was held at the ambassador's home, and Xiantai and Ken asked the West German driver to take them to the Belgian ambassador's home. The Belgian ambassador opened the door for them, thinking they were guests invited by the ambassador's wife.After a while, the ambassador learned that they were just two uninvited guests, so he said to them very politely: "Sorry, this is a private dinner. But if you like, you can stay for a few more minutes." When the first course was removed, Xian Tai asked Ken to give a short speech on the bicentennial of the United States and the poster before they left.This time the ambassador turned her down. Afterwards, Xian Tai told reporters who came to interview that it was the assistant director of the 200th Anniversary Special Committee who told them that they should participate in various diplomatic activities as much as possible, especially if Ken Kemes planned to go to various countries to invite heads of government, and Suggest they start with the Belgian embassy.The assistant to the director said that he only dealt with Xiantai once, which was to stop her from using the office phone. The two "banquet breakers" quickly attracted the attention of relevant authorities. The legal counsel of the 200th Anniversary Special Committee sent a letter to Xiantai and Ken to immediately stop using the logo and related items of the meeting, otherwise they would resort to law.The farce of the "Honorary Ambassador" came to a hasty end in the midst of criticism from the Washington media. Only 5,000 posters made by People's Daily Online were sold, and 2 million more were piled up in warehouses. Ordinarily, Xian Tai fell in love with a rich man like Ken Kaimes and lived a luxurious life of a millionaire, so he should wash his hands and stop doing those swindling and deceiving activities.actually not. On April 26, 1972, August 10, and September 27, 1974, she was arrested three times in Santana, Palm Springs, and Newport Beach near Los Angeles for stealing and using someone else's credit card. Does Ken know this?His family said: "Of course he knows. Like Xiantai, he can't help itching his palms whenever there is an opportunity to take advantage of it. In this regard, they are a match made in heaven." On March 24, 1975, Xian Tai, who was over 40 years old, gave birth to a son for Ken.She also gave the child a Ku Klux Klan-style name, Kenneth Carlin Kemes Jr., nicknamed Kenny.Carlin in the middle is Xiantai's brother's name.When Xian Tai first moved to California with her friend Ruth Tenney after her first marriage broke down, she once said that she dreamed of her father and brother many times at night.She told Ruth that in her dream her father was an East Indian prince.Later, Xiantai made a special trip to Utah to find Karin. When he saw his brother working at a gas station in greasy clothes, Xiantai was very disappointed.This was the last time she saw Karin, and she hardly ever mentioned him since. According to Xiantai herself, eight years later, in 1983, she gave birth to another son, Ken, who was given up for adoption in Mexico.As for the reason, Xiantai said to a psychiatrist appointed by the court to diagnose her many years later: "My husband is 67 years old, and he can't stand the noise of two ignorant children around him all day long, and the washing of milk bottles and changing diapers. trifles.” But the Kaimes family disagreed.Ken's daughter, Linda Kemes, said: "My father loves children very much. He will never give up his own flesh and blood. That child is not my father's, but Xiantai's with another man." After Kenny was born, Xiantai changed her name to Xiantai Kaimes, but is she the real Mrs. Kaimes?It is said that Xiantai has been relentlessly pestering Ken to marry him.Although Ken has had many women, he always keeps a certain distance from each of them, because he and his family do not want outsiders to get involved in the Kaimes family's property, and Xiantai is no exception.But Xiantai doesn't care about this, she tells people everywhere that she and Ken are married.Xiantai first said that they got married in Mexico City, the capital of Mexico, in 1971, and told others that it was in Tijuana, Mexico.After a while, their wedding date became April 5, 1981, in Las Vegas, the casino city.Later, in a letter she wrote to a friend, Xian Tai claimed that she and Ken were married in 1984.Xiantai does have a marriage certificate dated April 5, 1981, between her and Ken in Las Vegas.A handwriting expert hired by Ken's daughter Linda determined that Ken Kemes' signature on the marriage certificate was a forgery.As for Ken's attitude, even though Xiantai can influence him in many things in his old age, she still can't persuade or force Ken to marry her.Ken once told a real estate friend in Hawaii, "I'll never marry that woman. She wants to squeeze every penny out of me, but I'm going to leave it to the kids." It is precisely because of this that Xiantai regards the two children born to Ken and Charlotte as thorns in his eyes from the very beginning, and Ken's family, especially his daughter Linda, has always refused to accept Xiantai.The two women are like the tip of a needle, and neither of them is a light-saving lamp.Xiantai once sued Linda for putting a poisonous snake in her car in an attempt to kill her, while Linda believed that Xiantai put sleeping pills and chronic poison in Ken's food.Once Linda lost her job, she suspected that Xiantai was behind the scenes, because she heard from her colleagues that Xiantai had been to the company where she worked, so she wanted to have an "open and honest talk" with Xiantai.Hearing that Xiantai went to a bar, Linda went all the way to find it.After entering the bar, Linda saw Xiantai and a man sitting in the "train compartment" at the corner, and Xiantai's hand was rubbing the man's thigh.Just as Linda opened her mouth to explain her purpose, Xiantai suddenly screamed, "She's going to kill me! She's going to kill me!" while rushing out of the "train carriage" and running around the bar.The security had to ask Linda to go out. As time goes by, Xiantai's relationship with Linda and other members of the Kaimes family deteriorates.Years later, the aging Ken was almost completely cut off from his family by Xian Tai. In February 1980, six years after the series of banquet break-ins, Ken and Xiantai returned to Washington DC with 5-year-old Kenny, a nanny and a male and female servant.They stayed at the Mayflower Luxury Hotel on Connecticut Avenue, a five-minute walk from the White House. On the evening of February 3, the two stole a $200 dark-colored pure wool suit jacket from the restaurant of a hotel a few blocks away from the Mayflower.The owner of the clothes was a businessman named John Booth.He draped his coat over the back of the seat so it was gone when he got out of the bathroom. Two days later, Ken and Xian Tai came to a piano bar called "Country Town" on the first floor of Mayflower Hotel.As it happens, one of Ken's 30-odd motels is also called "Country Town."That night, Robert and Catherine Kenwall were in a bar with some friends.Mrs. Kenwall nonchalantly placed her $10,000 dark brown mink coat on the chair behind her.Next to them was Charles Curran, a senior executive at Hewlett-Packard who was on a business trip from California to Washington, and Renna Kahnma from Oregon who he met at the Mayflower.Ren Na noticed Xian Tai as soon as she entered the bar, because, Ren Na later recalled: "It is obvious that she not only dresses up, but also speaks and behaves like the big movie star Elizabeth Taylor in every way." What happened next made Charles and Ren Na couldn't believe their eyes.They saw Xiantai and Ken quietly changing seats at the table behind the Kenwalls. When Ken was looking around to notice the other guests, Xiantai walked over to pick up Mrs. Kenwall's mink coat and put it on her body like no one else. A white mink coat was draped over a dark brown coat.It was a cold day, with temperatures as low as 19 degrees Fahrenheit, or minus 7 degrees Celsius.Xian Tai quickly left the bar with Ken in two coats.When they reappeared a few minutes later, Xiantai was without a coat.Xian Tai even strolled to the adjacent table to exchange pleasantries with the Kenwall couple as if nothing had happened, and then left the bar with Ken both. Mrs. Kenwall didn't realize the mink coat was missing until she was saying goodbye to her friends.They immediately called hotel security.Charles and Renna recounted what they had seen, concluding that the reason they hadn't told the Kenwalls in time was because it was too unbelievable.Soon after hearing the news, the SAR police arrived. According to Charles and Ren Na's description of "a fat Elizabeth Taylor", the hotel staff immediately found Xiantai and Ken's suite on the fourth floor.Police found John Booth's pure wool blazer in their room, and three fur coats with only fur left, including a pure white fox fur coat and a champagne mink fur coat, which were lined The labels and brand labels have been cut out with scissors, so that the police knew that these were stolen items, but they could not confirm the owner. The police searched the entire suite, but could never find Mrs. Kenwall's dark brown mink coat.That's when a detective noticed a window was ajar.Out of curiosity, he opened the window and stuck his head out. Under the illumination of a powerful flashlight, he found a lump of cloth on the ground, which was the satin lining of the mink coat.A few days later, a housekeeper found the crumpled mink fur behind an ice machine near the suite. This incident undoubtedly caused a burst of excitement in the Washington press.The reporters dubbed the case the "Minky Business (Mink Fur Incident)" based on old accounts from six years ago, which sounds very similar to the English word Monkey Business (nonsense, deceit, prank).Like six years ago, Xiantai also had her own statement: "I lost my mink coat. I brought a total of four fur coats, because Washington is much colder than California. I left a mink coat in the dining room on the ground floor when we dined the day before. No. The next day I went to the dining room manager and he brought out one that was nothing compared to mine. We were about to call the police.. this is complete bullshit. I'm a millionaire wife stealing one A mink coat?!" Regardless, Xian Tai and Ken were both arrested and charged with stealing items worth $10,000 and $200, respectively.The next day, after their lawyers paid bail for them, the two flew back to Hawaii together to await trial.In August of the same year, the court notified Ken to appear in court. Ken's lawyer asked for an extension on the grounds of his poor health. Xiantai's case has also been delayed repeatedly for so-called health reasons.Among the supporting materials that Xiantai submitted to the court, there were at least two letters signed by doctors that Xiantai was about to undergo surgery during the court session, which were later proved to be forged.After more than five years and 15 adjournments, the mink theft case finally came to court on July 11, 1985.During the six-day trial, Xiantai sat in the dock every day wearing an Elizabeth Taylor-style evening gown, with her usual innocent expression on her face, as if a primary school student was sitting in a university classroom, with a look of incomprehension Trying hard to understand again. The trial ended on the morning of July 18, and the jury entered the deliberation room.At 2:30 in the afternoon, when the jury notified the judge that they had reached a verdict, Xiantai was nowhere to be found, and even her lawyer could not find her.After an hour of waiting, the judge decided to deliver the verdict in the absence of the accused.As expected, Xiantai was found guilty.The judge immediately issued an arrest warrant and set a bond fine of $50,000. Three days later, on July 21, Xiantai sent a telegram to the judge and her lawyer, saying that she was involved in a car accident during lunch on July 18 and was sent unconscious to a hospital in Arlington, Virginia. The emergency room of the hospital.During the chaos, she lost the handbag containing her identification, so no one present knew who she was.Hours later, when her injuries stabilized, she flew back to California to see her doctor for further treatment. Xian Tai didn't know at the time that there was also an arrest warrant waiting for her in California. This time she was accused of slavery, which was extremely rare in the United States in the 1980s. Ken Kemes is stingy and frugal.
