lynettebro440 is a white woman in her mid-to-late 40s who lives in Iowa and used to live in Omaha in the late 1980s.
Methink you could be right about it NOT being the Michigan feminist since she makes references to living in Nebraska. Too bad franksolich isn't around. What happened to him?
THIS ONES FOR YOU CINDY Aug. 10 I attempted something of a smaller proportions in Omaha in 1988 when someone tried to take my child away from me. His name was Bill Baker and he was connected, unbeknowns to me, to the Franklin Credit Union, entire corruption on the City of Omaha, from the Police Chief Wadman, to the media Peter Citron to the corporate and on and on. But where it eventually landed was at the steps of the Republican party run by none other then Papa Bush.

I didn't loose my kid that day when my life became effected by these people, I was lucky enough to look out the window when a car stopped by my daughter and son on the side of my house...I can understand her motivation to make a change no matter what it takes. I know because in my little universe I was able to help create a law that made enticement against children a felony all the way to the State house. Little ole me, just a little housewife from Omaha NE. I moved mountains, with my little voice and my never taking no for an answer. I think of my little involement in that historic event (which has gone totally unnoticed in the rest of the nation because it is connected to Bush himself and his cronies). It saddeness me and frightens me to know as much as I know. These people are evil...They almost got my daughter (I was told by the police that they were aware of Bill Baker and there was nothing they could do. His fetish was blonde hair, blue eyed little boys or girls under the age of 7 and my daughter had flowing blonde hair and was 7 at the time. This guy would not give up on my daughter and eventually he ended up killed by none other then his own. These people are wicked.
If what she says is true, then it seems there was more going on here than just enticement. "This guy would not give up on my daughter" implies a continued stalking that goes much further than a car stopping by the side of her house. However, if the police chief was involved I would think they would be unwilling to tell her they were "aware" of one of the participants (Bill Baker) in this sex ring. I guess that's probably why (given they knew about this man and his "fetishes") they didn't follow through with any real investigation that would lead to charges to put this man away. They also seemed curiosly unconcerned about what lynette knew
At any rate, the NE statutes can be found here. Not only is each law defined and penalties explained, but dates of previous laws/statutes are provided as well, which is pretty handy if you want to research their history. For instance:
Section 28-311
Criminal child enticement; penalties.
(1 & 2 give descriptions of what constitutes child enticement and exempt situations)
(3) Any person who violates this section commits criminal child enticement and is guilty of a Class I misdemeanor. If such person has previously been convicted of (a) criminal child enticement under this section, (b) sexual assault of a child under section 28-320.01, or (c) assault under section 28-308, 28-309, or 28-310, kidnapping under section 28-313, or false imprisonment under section 28-314 or 28-315 when the victim was under eighteen years of age when such person violates this section, such person is guilty of a Class IV felony.

Evidently, the law has (unfortunately) changed since she "created" a new law making child enticement a felony as it's currently a misdemeanor...unless the perp has been previously convicted of another crime.
As she says...she was very lucky indeed because being in the media spotlight didn't help many of the others who were killed to keep this whole sordid sex ring covered up. Indeed, even the man stalking her daughter, Bill Baker, a prominent restaraunt owner who was certainly in the media spotlight more often than a Nebraska housewife, wasn't saved by media exposure. A list (you have to scroll down to #32) of prominent Nebraskans who died suspiciously is found here. Ironically, while people were dropping like flies around him, the author of the book about this cover-up, DeCamp, remained quite healthy and unthreatened. Call me crazy, but if I'm the ringleader of a child prostitution ring and I get word of someone's investigating me (and I've already had a slew of people die under "mysterious" circumstances), the death of one more investigator just isn't going to be that big of a deal to me.
Further in the thread we learn
19. I'm telling you from living in it
everything Bonacci is saying is true. They used the same logic that right wing folks do. They disallow their story. I was mentioned in the paper that because I was trying to stop children's kidnapping, that I was some how a sexual predator myself. These people will stop at nothing. They wanted my daughter and the police stood by and did nothing. I made such a stink about it, I got the press involved and low and behold he ended up dead, totally silent. Anyone that brought any kind of notice to these people ended up dead. This is all true. Please believe me.
While I must have missed the "right wing" logic course, I'm guessing that while the rest of the story was suppressed, poor lynette was "accused" (at least in print) of being a sexual predator. I"m no lawyer, but I'm pretty sure even back in the dark days of 1988 that would have been worthy of a retraction and/or a lawsuit. Perhaps it was enough that they finally redeemed themselves because her rantings got the press to see her side which led, not to her murder, but the murder of the guy she was accusing...evidently her, the author of the book and a Paul Bonacci, who was part of this sex ring when he was young, are the only people who "brought any kind of notice" that didn't end up dead. Oh, and perhaps Gosch since he was supposedly kidnapped into this same sex ring. Since this extends all the way to the WH and seems to include some management by the CIA one wonders why they were sloppy enough to leave these people alive to tell their tale.
As if this wasn't convoluted enough...Hunter Thompson "knew" about this as, only in the bizarre world of DU are they aware enough to know he killed himself to prevent someone from killing him...makes perfect sense to me. Further on in the thread she says:
"He [Bill Baker] was a nobody that did something he couldn't help himself with. He was after my daughter and I was after him. I won because the media watched. Bill simply ended up dead with two bullets in the back of his head, sitting at his desk while his girlfriend slept in the room next to him. These people in my opinion are on a level way past the mafia. These people have an underbelly that would SHOCK and AWE this nation."
SO...now this Bill wasn't a major player in this child-sex ring, but a mere nobody and she, being the Norma Rae of Nebraska jurisprudence, was being "watched" by the media (who were also involved, by the way), thus saving her own life. If it weren't for the Bushies...I'm sure she'd be famous, having single handedly brought a sex ring down...as it is, she's just an extra in a second-rate drama.
