Judge Sentences Defendant David Matusiewicz to 48 Months’ Imprisonment on International Parental Kidnapping and Bank Fraud Counts
U.S. Attorney’s Office
December 10, 2009 District of Delaware
(302) 573-6277
David C. Weiss, United States Attorney for the District of Delaware, announced that David Matusiewicz, age 42, formerly of Middletown, was sentenced today by United States District Court Chief Judge Gregory M. Sleet to 48 months of imprisonment and a five-year term of supervised release. Mr. Matusiewicz had previously pled guilty on September 3, 2009 to one count of bank fraud and one count of international parental kidnapping.
According to documents filed in court and statements made during the proceedings, in August 2007, Mr. Matusiewicz obtained a $249,000 home equity line of credit from WSFS Bank, a federally insured financial institution, through fraud. Mr. Matusiewicz was informed by the bank that both he and his ex-wife, C.M., were required to sign various closing documents in order for this line of credit to be approved by WSFS Bank. On August 15, 2007, Mr. Matusiewicz arranged to meet with a WSFS bank representative at Mr. Matusiewicz’s office, in order to sign the closing documents. Mr. Matusiewicz did not tell the bank representative, who believed that the defendant and his ex-wife were still married, that the two were in fact divorced. Instead, Mr. Matusiewicz signed the closing documents and falsely and fraudulently indicated that C.M. was in another room at the office, when in fact C.M. was not present in the office that day. Mr. Matusiewicz then left the room, and later returned, presenting the bank representative with the closing documents, on which he had forged or caused to be forged C.M.’s signature and initials. After obtaining the approximately $249,000 in funds regarding the home equity line of credit, Mr. Matusiewicz transferred those funds to an overseas bank account in New Zealand.
Days after committing the above-described fraud, Mr. Matusiewicz kidnapped his three children, L.M., L.M. and K.M. and removed them from the United States. Mr. Matusiewicz, along with his mother, traveled with the children in a motor home through Mexico, Panama, Costa Rica, and Nicaragua. Federal and State of Delaware law enforcement authorities, including the New Castle County Police Department, the United States Marshal’s Service, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the United States Department of State, the United States Attorney’s Office for the District of Delaware, the United States Department of Justice’s Office of International Affairs, and law enforcement officers in Australia, New Zealand and Nicaragua, then participated in a 19-month investigation to locate the defendant and his children and to investigate the defendant’s crimes.
In March 2009, deputy United States Marshals from the District of Delaware located and arrested the defendant in Nicaragua and reunited the children with their mother. Among other documents found on the defendant’s person or in the motor home at the time of his arrest were numerous false identification documents containing his and his children’s pictures—including false Social Security cards and false passports.
United States Attorney David C. Weiss said: “The Court’s sentence of 48 months’ imprisonment recognizes the very serious nature of the defendant’s crimes. In defrauding WSFS Bank of nearly a quarter of a million dollars, the defendant caused significant financial harm to the bank and to his ex-wife. But by kidnapping his three children and in taking them across international borders, the defendant did even more long-lasting damage—he robbed the children of 19 months of a normal, healthy childhood and exposed them to continuing psychological harm. The court’s significant sentence is also important, because it makes clear that the abduction of our children—particularly across international boarders that can be sometimes difficult for law enforcement to navigate—brings with it serious consequences in the federal criminal legal system.”
The case was principally investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the New Castle County Police Department, and the United States Marshal’s Service. It was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Christopher J. Burke.

Big Media is saying it happened before check-in and assure us that “This is not a random shooting” — so they don’t want this added to the leftist laundry list.
And they won’t release names, so he must be a Hussein Head and/or protected class, as well as his victims.
Nothing to see here today, sayeth Big Media.
Thanks for the name. The Hussein Head media must not have been clearance yet on the article I read.
The guy sounds stupid. He couldn’t fly to New Zealand? I know that he would have had to do it quickly before being found out, but that seems a better plan than driving down through Central America. He sounds like a creep. Of course we have no idea what the wife is like. The 3 kids are now without parents. Sad story.
The better question is,
What is he doing out of prison?
4 years plus 5 years parole.
Hardly 3 years after being busted by the F.B.I. and he is down shooting up the courthouse.

I still check for updates on Jack Wheeler, but there’s never any news. Like it never happened.
Probably happened in an area of lobby before you get to metal detectors. I don’t want to give anyone any ideas but I know of an airport where you walk in past a bunch of car rental agencies and airline ticket booths. You go up an escalator where there’s a food court, etc. It’s only just outside of THERE that the TSA does their business with metal detectors, because beyond that are the gates. So anyone could carry a gun into the aforementioned areas and it’s only when you want to go to the gates that you see security (and have to show ID, boarding pass, etc.)—I would think airport security would be visible in the other areas, yes, but in terms of metal detectors...
It makes me so sad to thnk about it. All someone had to do was to report the incident when he was walking around with one shoe....and be persistent about it. If someone had reported it and LE had driven him home....who knows. Just so sad.
Biden says he witnessed the entire incident.
Maybe he was under the mistaken opinion that cops and police department are actually honest and became psycho when he realized they were corrupt.
That said, it’s no excuse for murdering innocent people.
With this shooting over a custody dispute, I’d sure like the know the details of the dispute. Generally it’s the man who gets screwed over in a divorce.
The shooter kidnapped his daughters in 2007....
“The man who opened fire and killed two women and injured two Capitol police officers this morning at the New Castle County Courthouse in Wilmington has been identified by numerous law enforcement and legal sources as David T. Matusiewicz, a former optometrist who spent time in federal prison for kidnapping his three daughters and bank fraud in 2007.”

This could not have happened, the man accused of this was a convicted felon so obviously would never be able to illegally obtain a gun. /s
That said he was probably trying to get to Brazil when he was caught as they do not have any extradition treaty with the US although why he didn’t just fly there I’ll never know. Given the history I’d say that there was some serious anger between him and his ex-wife that needed to be resolved. Sounds like that happened so all is well ... NOT.
Another observation is that the Taliban/Al Q. typically use and initial bomb to attract more US forces to the site so that they can set off a second even larger bomb and kill even more US forces. Given what’s going on in LA the police should probably re-think their typical response of massive over-responding to any call involving cops/court houses/etc. as I can predict that this WILL be used against them in the future, just a matter of time.
Interesting. Anecdotes for eliciting emotional responses were used to institute the divorce/cohabitation paradigm to begin with. Now, anecdotes to evoke emotional responses are also used against our Second Amendment. First, the effective outlawing of fatherhood for most, then the current push to outlaw your Second Amendment rights.
Thanks for the summary.
Thanks for the summary.
The shooter was the father’s father, a former Vineland, NJ cop.
“The shooter was the father’s father, a former Vineland, NJ cop.”
Yep...
