Request for case report and information
Detective Tuchfarber: A couple of months back I received a voice mail from you regarding a "report". You had asked that I return your call. I've left you a number of messages but you've never responded. I would like to request a copy of the report which you were contacting me about. I will need to submit a public records request, however, it would be very helpful if I had the report number and the date it was filed. I believe it would have been around May 5, 2014 and the reporting party would have been Desiree Yvonne Capuano (DOB: 10/01/1980). I thank you for your time and assistance. Sincerely, Patrick Fox

Re: Request for case report and information
Good evening, Detective Tuchfarber. First, I'd like to thank you for taking the time to speak with me earlier today. As suggested, I have scanned some documents to support some of my statements. Rather than emailing them to you, I've uploaded them to my company web site because some of them are quite large. Mostly, it's the attached exhibits - I try not to make claims against anyone if I don't have supporting evidence so any claims I've made against Desiree are only those which I was able to prove with exhibits/evidence. The first document: http://www.desireecapuano.org/documents/2011-11-08-email.pdf is an email thread between Desiree and me, following the court's order that she "immediately" return Gabriel to me the time she had taken him to Arizona (in August 2011), without my knowlege or consent, and tried to get custody of him there by claiming I had hid him from her for 9 years. It took me 3 months to get him back because the courts had to speak to each other and determine that California did, in fact, have jurisdiction. Unfortunately, I don't have a copy of that order because it was a verbal order made by the Judge in open court. The second document: http://www.desireecapuano.org/documents/2011-12-06-Custody_Order.pdf is a copy of the custody order from December 12, 2011, granting me full physical custody of Gabriel. At that time I had agreed to a visitation schedule with Desiree because I was not aware of her's and Kristopher Lauchner's drug use or involvement in illegal activities. The third document: http://www.desireecapuano.org/documents/2012-02-10-Declaration_for_Request_to_Modify_Visit ation_Schedule.pdf is a copy of a declaration I filed with the family court upon finding out about Desiree's and Kristopher's drug use and Kristopher's criminal history. There are many supporting exhibits attached, including Desiree's Medical Marijuana card (obtained AFTER her arrest for possession), the record of her arrest, a picture of Kristopher handling a firearm with Desiree's other son (the problem being that he's a prohibited possessor and has a violent history). It was when I filed this request with the court that the court began dragging their feet on making any decisions and seemed to start ignoring all the things that Desiree was doing wrong. The fourth document: http://www.desireecapuano.org/documents/2012-11-25-Declaration_for_Request_to_Suspend_Visi tation_Schedule.pdf is a declaration I filed in the family court to suspend Desiree's visitation due to her ongoing drug use and my discovery of Kristopher's arrest for shoplifing an AR-15 from Cabela's, and using meth in the home. The document's quite large (126 pages) but it's mostly exhibits, including the police reports regarding Desiree's arrest for marijuana possession, Kristopher's involvement in a counterfeiting scheme (forgery), Kristopher's arrest for shoplifting the AR-15 and possession of meth, and the execution of a search warrant on Desiree's/Kristopher's home. Again, the court denied the request and turned a blind eye to what was going on in Desiree's home. The fifth document: http://www.desireecapuano.org/documents/2013-03-13-Declaration_Regarding_Threatening_State ments_and_Intents.pdf is a declaration I filed in the family court, regarding Desiree's threat to continue to call ICE, and do other unspecified things, if I return to the US. This occurred in February 2013 - after the first time she called them and they took me into custody (on January 2, 2013). She had sent the email immediately upon learning I had been released from ICE custody and that she would have to return Gabriel to me (see the court minute entries in the next document). On page 8, in paragraph 3, she said "Immigration and homeland security are not my only avenues and if pushed I will pursue them...". Given the context and the circumstances at the time, I think her meaning was clear and I had to consider it credible. Bear in mind, also, with respect to those two emails, she's presenting herself as being very caring and trying to work things out in Gabriel's interests. But just 5 weeks earlier, while I was in ICE custody, she was requesting an order from the court prohibiting me from having ANY contact with Gabriel, and she had been withholding my letters from Gabriel. From the time of my arrest on January 2, 2013 until my release on February 16, 2013, Gabriel had absolutely no contact with me. Her attitude and behavior changes minute by minute according to what she thinks she can get away with (or at least that's my perception). The sixth document: http://www.desireecapuano.org/documents/Court_Minutes.pdf are the court minutes of the hearings which occurred from January 2013 through March 2013. The first page clearly shows that Desiree was requesting an order prohibiting all contact between Gabriel and I. I was able to attend the second hearing by telephone, from the ICE detention facility (page 2). The court ordered that upon my release from detention I could request an ex parte hearing and likely he would order Gabriel be returned to me (that's why Desiree was trying to be nice in the emails in the fifth document). I spent six weeks in ICE custody while the Canadian consulate worked on getting me a travel document. Unfortunately, upon my release I was in a foreign country, had no money, and no place to live so before I could request the court return Gabriel I would need to get on my feet. We had a hearing scheduled for March 20, 2013, wherein Gabriel was supposed to speak with a court evaluator to tell the court what he wanted. Knowing that I would appear for that hearing and the court would order Gabriel returned to me, Desiree contacted the court and told them I had been deported. Based on Desiree's information, the court cancelled Gabriel's interview and rescheduled the hearing for March 13, 2013. Nobody notified me of the change. I returned to Los Angeles on March 11, 2013 to attend the hearing, and was again taken into custody by ICE based on another report they received from Desiree that I would be at the hearing. I spent another 6 weeks in ICE custody then was released to Canada. From 2007 through 2011 I was detained in the custody of various agencies - though, primarily ICE. I'm sure you've ran my name so you know about the forgery and theft of means charges from 2007. I spent over 13 months in MCSO custody fighting those charges and in the end they were all dismissed on the prosecutor's motion. Admittedly, I was associating with the wrong people and got myself messed up in some unnecessary drama (for lack of a nicer way of putting it). But for 4 years, ICE kept transferring me back and forth, from one agency to another, until finally, in August 2011 they released me. Obviously, I can't afford to go through that kind of ordeal again, so when presented with the option of going to Canada or staying in custody and fighting them (like I did the first time), I chose to go to Canada. I've since obtained my birth certificate, but after all of my dealings with ICE I really don't believe they care about that. I completely believe, that even with my birth certificate in hand, they would still detain me. Based on that, I have to take Desiree's threats seriously. In addition, Gabriel has told me that she has told him that every time I return to the US she's just going to call ICE again. He also told me that she admitted to him that she was the one that called ICE in December 2012, but "she was just doing her duty as a patriotic citizen" (literally, that's how she justified it to him). Since you're an officer of the law, and she resides within your jurisdiction I might as well tell you that Gabriel also tells me that she still smokes marijuana around him, in the home, on a daily basis - even though her medical marijuana card was not renewed last year. The previous time she was arrested for possession (on Gabriel's birthday, no less), the charges were dismissed because she completed TASC. Yet she brags that while doing TASC she didn't even have to stop using marijuana (see the email I've uploaded to http://www.desireecapuano.org/documents/2012-11-19-email.pdf). Gabriel further tells me that she tells him that eventually he'll grow to love the smell of it. And still, the family court disregards all of this. And, one important thing I KNOW, but haven't been able to prove, is that she's also using meth. In 2007 I was associating with a lot of meth users (I was dating a girl that was using it - but, I've learned my lesson about associating with drug users) so I'm very familiar with the behavior and the mannerisms. Over the past few years I've observed her behaving in that same way. She'll stay up for days at a time, sometimes she sleeps all day. She would drive all night from Phoenix to LA to pick Gabriel up for a visit, then immediately drive back to Phoenix, without stopping to rest. Those times, it was plainly obvious to me that she was high on meth - she looked like crap. She's eratic and blows minor things way out of proportion. She gets angry and yells for no apparent reason. Then, of course, there's the fact that she was engaged to, and living with Lauchner until his arrest/incarceration. There's no question that he was using meth during that time - he admitted to it and meth was found in the home when the Glendale Police searched it. Generally, people who don't use meth don't maintain long term, serious relationships with people who do. Now, if only I could prove it. It might also be interesting, that in February 2012, I filed for a restraining order against Lauchner (case number TS015675, in the Compton Courthouse) due to his repeated threats of violence against me. After discovering his violent background I decided I should take his threats seriously. Desiree and Kristopher showed up for the hearing. Desiree defended Kristopher and claimed I was just trying to create an environment where Gabriel would not be able to visit her in Phoenix. The court dismissed my request, saying it was just the typical bickering between people going through a divorce. In October 2012 Kristopher was arrested for shoplifting the AR-15. I still believe my concerns for mine and Gabriel's safety were credible. And with respect to Desiree's hostility toward me, I have some 576 emails from her, over the past few years, where she makes countless threats, insults, and is just generally an unpleasant person who blames me for every problem in the world. I can find and forward some of the more interesting ones to you if that would help. Alternatively, they're also all on the web site at www.desireecapuano.org/correspondence/ . I apologize for the verbosity of this message. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to let me know. I thank you again for your understanding. Sincerely, Fox 604-***-****
