Jesus Is In Hell Again

Above is a pic of Linda Comstock’s pool near Bullhead City. I found a pic of Detective Holstrom who looks like a human – who has seen it all! I’m reminded of in the movie Fargo. Linda is supposed to be rich. Did she hear about the death of Drew Benton, her nieces cousin? Why didn’t she offer to help with the cremation of Drew who was a corpse in a icebox for forty days? Holstom found another corpse- in a bathtub! I’m still waiting on that police report. Did you know Jesus went to hell? From now to Halloween I will post on Jesus’s attempts to deal…..with the dead! How – fun!

BULLHEAD CITY, Ariz. — Bullhead City police reported finding a “mummified” body inside a home that was being burglarized over the weekend. 

The remains of a person were found in the bathtub of a home in the 100 block of Palm Avenue after police were dispatched to the residence Saturday morning to investigate a burglary. 

“This is definitely an unusual circumstance,” said Detective Robin Holstrom with the Bullhead City Police Department.

She said officers found Christine Lee Walters, 65, inside the residence rummaging through the property. Detective Holstrom questioned Walter about why she was inside the home.

“She said that she was removing items from the residents,” Holstrom said. 

Holstrom said Walters had allegedly been at the same residence two days before, claiming she stole several purses and articles of clothing. 

“She just thought it was an empty home,” the detective said.

While at the residence, police said officers located a deceased person in a mummified state who is believed to be the homeowner. It is unknown how long the body had been in the house. 

Holstrom said, “The body just appeared as though it had been there for an extended period of time.”

Neighbors told police they had not seen their neighbor in about a year and had assumed she moved away. 

While investigators are now waiting for the medical examiner to identify the homeowner and her cause of death, Rebecca Wallace with Bio-One, a company that specializes in responding to these types of situations, said in order for a body to become mummified, “It can happen as quickly as two months.”

“The organs are actually packed inside of the body, as well as the skin. So everything is preserved inside the body.”

Walters has been booked into jail on two counts of burglary and may face additional charges, police said.

I will agree to that if you agree to the following.
a. You will sign a notarized letter stating you will not defame me or anyone I am close to on the Internet or any other form of media. This includes me, Bill, Linda, Flip, my mom, Matt and Katie and Tyler (Internet defamation is illegal and I will not tolerate it)
b. You will remove anything you have published in which you have negated me and others in my life.

There exist much speculation as to where Jesus went the day after he died – which is today! Why haven’t all the theologians, and monks, that ever lived – come up with an answer? Outrageous! Americans got elected to the Senate and Congress – just because they believe Jesus became God, and God wants His Former Children to rebuild the temple, so God-Jesus will RETURN, and take the New Faithful to heaven. How did this TRANSFERENCE happen?

Above are the words my daughter sent me – allegedly! Most of her life her mother did her schoolwork. I fired Heather Hanson as my Special Needs Executor because she agreed with BILL CORNWORTH, that I was a “Parasite” . Bill was a drunk at the time. I read he got in recovery in order to keep his job as a fireman. I read this on….THE INTERNET! Heather is protecting her Divine and Good Family from The Parasite. She is hurt because “I trusted you to be in my life.” There are no creative artists and writers in the Hanson family. Heather aspired to be like Taylor Swift, though.

JOHN IN HELL

Is about the total devastating of the artistic and literary legacy of Christine Rosamond Benton that began when a powerful Carmel law firm sold our family legacy to an outsider, who then pu an ad on the internet inviting those who knew Christine to – COME CONTRIBUTE to her story..

CHRISTINE IN HELL

In Tom Snyder’s evil book of The Feeding Frenzy of Parasites, my dead famous sister is denigrated, along with her parents – and one of her brothers! Why not both of her brothers? How come Mark Presco did not tell his story to Tom?

Three days ago The Parasite fot a FREE RIDE to Salem to treat my sleeping disorder. I share the cab with a young woman who was dropped off at a Rehab center. I mentioned the scared look on her face. The woman driver said she had to call 911 because where she picked this woman up, two people were overdoing right in front of THEM!! No wonder she was terrified – at failing. I saw homeless tents all over Salem. It was like being – IN HELL. I told the cabby I don’t get out much, and am working on a Recovery Program to send to Governor Kotek.

Within months off seeing – my only child – I took them to the library, and we checked out books on Alcoholism and Co-Dependency. I told them this topic is going to be the core of my book. Tom Snyder stole my recovery story – for money and fame! Snyder accuses me of being responsible for Bill Arnold’s suicide. Welcome to hell, folks. Yesterday I revealed who was – really responsible – my mother, who tried to seduce me the last time I saw her alive. As usual – Rosemary failed.

The photograph of Heathers Beloved FLIP toasting my grandson, is a image TAKEN IN HELL. Flip was a bartender most of his life, and when I met him…..HE REFUSED to shake my hand, the hand of a man who had not had a drink in twenty-four years. I knew Flip was dying from acute alcoholism. He looks like – death warmed over. He has a grey color to him. Flip died shortly after Heather posted this photograph on her Facebook! that she BANS me from. Mark Gall refused to serve as my Executor, after signed a legal paper saying he would sevve – if Heather could not. The Daughter From Hell does not metnion Randolph Delpiano as a member of The Blessed Family. He was….THE FAKE FATHER!

So, render an image of me on a slab at the morgue with my daughter and Sydney Morris standing over me with big butcher knives!

“O.K. Who’s in favor of opening this Parasite up, and seeing what kind of revelations he’s withholding, that can be turned into more books – and movies! Raise your hand if you want John – gutted and fileted? Come on Parasite Johnny. I bet there are gems and gold nuggets in your guts. How selfish of you!”

John ‘In Hell’

I trusted you to be in my life. Let you know everything about me and those I am close to and some how, when you get angry, you find a way to twist information and make everyone out to be sick, evil, and abusive. That is not my reality and never has been.

I¯ve been thinking about the apparent conflict in regard to the biography. Perhaps there is information I don¡¯t have but it seems to me that a biography written by the brother would be a very different book from a very different perspective than one written by an outsider and so there would be room for the creation of both of them.

In August of this year, Delpiano again began impersonating Bob Weir.
One of the individuals he bilked, Ken Whitaker, admittedly not a
Deadhead, recalled the experience: “He seemed to know everything
about the Grateful Dead. He told stories for hours and he played the
harmonica extremely well. We didn’t know then that the real Bob Weir
doesn’t play harmonica. He said he was being hounded by the press
over the death of their keyboard player Brent Mydland.” Oakland
police spokesman Sgt. Stanley Bicker was very familiar with
Delpiano’s scam. “Side by side, they don’t look alike, but in their
photos and from a distance, they do,” he said of Weir and Delpiano,
adding, “The really committed Grateful Dead fan knows that Mr.
Delpiano is not Bob Weir.” For the two weeks he stayed in Walnut
Creek, Delpiano made such a splash with the locals that they bought
him dinners and provided sexual favors, and he obliged them by
signing autographs. His scam ended when a friend of Whitaker’s, a
Deadhead, exposed Delpiano as an imposter. Delpiano was ultimately
arrested for failing to report to his parole officer and was
remanded to the state prison to serve out the rest of his five-year
sentence.

In Christian theology, the Harrowing of Hell (LatinDescensus Christi ad Inferos, “the descent of Christ into Hell” or Hades) is an Old English and Middle English term referring to the period of time between the Crucifixion of Jesus and his resurrection. In triumphant descent, Christ brought salvation to the souls held captive there since the beginning of the world.[1][a]

Christ’s descent into the world of the dead is referred to in the Apostles’ Creed and the Athanasian Creed (Quicumque vult), which state that he “descended into the underworld” (descendit ad inferos), although neither mention that he liberated the dead. His descent to the underworld is alluded to in the New Testament in 1 Peter 4:6, which states that the “good tidings were proclaimed to the dead”.[2] The Catechism of the Catholic Church notes Ephesians 4:9, which states that “[Christ] descended into the lower parts of the earth”, as also supporting this interpretation.[3] These passages in the New Testament have given rise to differing interpretations.[4] The Harrowing of Hell is commemorated in the liturgical calendar on Holy Saturday.[5]

Blamed For Bill’s Suicide

Posted on March 11, 2021 by Royal Rosamond Press

I was talking with my good neighbor about how shocked Oprah was when Meghan said she felt suicidal and wanted to get into therapy. I told her about the things said about me in a book and movie script about my famous sister that put me in therapy. For about five seconds Sandy thought this was true. Then she asked; “Why didn’t Christine give Bill the note herself?”…….”“It’s even more obvious in her work on ‘The Crossing’. She was very depressed, dealing with her unresolved feelings for her childhood sweetheart, Bill. He died before she could work it through with, or about him, and she resented Greg because she said he didn’t deliver on his promise to tell Bill how she felt. She really loved him, and maybe Greg saw that as a intrusion. Anyway, Christine told me he never delivered her message. Later. Bill pulled his car onto the tracks and died under the wheels of a train – a suicide according to Christine – and she never got over her failure to tell Bill her feelings for him. She felt very strongly she could have saved him, if he’d only known.”

My sixteen year old daughter came into my life in 2001. I thought I would die fatherless. I insisted she stay away from my family because they were behind this evil literature written by ghost writers. She thought she was immune – because she was not fighting with them. Like Meghan, she was overwhelmed with the toxic poison. We have not communicated in ten years. I am blamed for everything. My negativity ruined it for everyone. I asked her if she read the bio. “No!” Do you see the idea that I am the cause of Christine’s suicidal thoughts? This idea comes from Garth Benton who had just gone through a evil divorce – that may not have been finalized at the time of my sister’s death. My mother said was a suicide!

A week ago I read this passage from Tom Snyder’s biography of my late sister to my therapist in our last session. I wept. Yesterday I found out Bill’s sister is dead. She is the one who begged me to get sober. The four members of the Arnold family, are gone. I tried getting hold of Vicky Arnold to inform her I was going to publish this evil lie that my sixteen year old daughter was encouraged to get involved in – by several adults. She was innocent and completely clear of this. Heather Hanson’s claim that I suffer from some weird psychological disorder that does now allow me to get along with people – is another horrible lie she has to live with. When Heather’s peers read this filth they might say;

“Looks like your father killed his best friend out of jealousy!”

That I declared the Miracle Family…

Patrice Hanson and Bogus Bobby looked for a way to exploit the child I did not know I had. David could attest to this.

I try to apply the fact Patrice is still a Stage Mother that has a sick relationship with my daughter that involves esteeming Heather all the time – for a Good Feeling Fee! Heather has had several surrogate fathers who were bid to worship my daughter – I did not know I had. When I did not fall in step with the Fake Fathers, Heather got confused. Why wasn’t I feeding her female ego and vanity? Why wasn’t I promoting her Country Western Singer Career? She didn’t have one. And, Pierrot was not going to get her her big break.  She did not even make her book. She would have a big role in my autobiography, but she and her mother sank it to the bottom of the abyss. Now, ten years later she has Flip in her corner. Linda bought him some sound equipment and he wants to make money producing records. Then – he drops dead of acute alcoholism.

Heather had signed a legal document and became my Trustee. But after Flip’s good friend called me a “parasite” and Patrice’s daughter agreed – I had to get out for my sanity. I might go back to drinking. Not once did Patrice’s daughter call me and ask how my radiation treatment for prostate cancer was going. My attorney bid me to get rid of her – and even sue her!  She sent me this, proof Patrice still wants to be in control of the Rosamond legacy. I suspect they got their book in the works.

E-mail from Heather Hanson:
I will agree to that if you agree to the following.
a. You will sign a notarized letter stating you will not defame me or anyone I am close to on the Internet or any other form of media. This includes me, Bill, Linda, Flip, my mom, Matt and Katie and Tyler (Internet defamation is illegal and I will not tolerate it)
b. You will remove anything you have published in which you have negated me and others in my life.
c. You apologize for all the horrible things you have said.
d. You get help for what ever condition you have that causes you to be so paranoid, irrational, and abusive.
I trusted you to be in my life. Let you know everything about me and those I am close to and some how, when you get angry, you find a way to twist information and make everyone out to be sick, evil, and abusive. That is not my reality and never has been.

Heather and Patrice have no empathy for Christine – or me! WE could have had a wonderful and miraculous story out in 2001, but, Patrice felt threatened. Instead, we got a book that demonizes a world famous artist and her parents. Is it just fine to say terrible things about a famous person, and not un-famous people? The Hansons have had a big problem for thirty-six years, they are not famous, never will be famous, yet a child of a famous family was born unto them. Being a blessing – was not good enough – for Patrice’s daughter.

Chapter One

The Gold Digger and ‘The Toy’

No father wants to find evidence his daughter deceived him,  withheld vital information from him, and manipulated him with the help of hidden people behind the scenes, people the father does not know.

Three hours ago I found the name of Linda Comstock’s ex-husband. He owned a bank and was a corporate lawyer. He had many wealthy Democratic friends that he partied with – till he dropped. His obituary says he was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross, but, when I checked, I could not find Tom’s name.

When my seventeen year old daughter was disappeared from my life in 2000, I wondered if Thomas A. Comstock Jr. knew about this kidnapping. I wondered if he suggested Heather Hanson get with the money people, and away from ‘The Loser’. I was everything…

Patrice Hanson Exploits Children

Posted on July 23, 2020 by Royal Rosamond Press

Copyright 2020

Patrice Hanson and Tom Snyder were the first outsiders to discuss the sexual abuse of children. Tom and Patrice never met my famous sister, yet, they found themselves in the driver’s seat – thanks to Attorney Sydney Morris – who sold my families literary legacy to outsiders who then committed Art Fraud in regards to Dunken The Frog. Nothing will freeze-up and bring a legacy to a quick ending then the accusation of sexual abuse of children. Tom and Patrice were communicating with each other.

When my aunt Lillian told me Stacey Pierrot sent her a photograph of my sixteen year old daughter taken at the Rosamond Gallery in Carmel, I had to consider that a sixteen year old child was working me  – conning me! Heather had no intention of contacting me. She was there because her mother and her aunt Linda wanted my child to make contacts with rich people who would further he career – just because she was Rosamond’s niece. This niece – had no special gifts or talent. Knowing this could be trouble, Snyder and Pierrot suggested they contact me. Did they consult Mark and Vicki Presco?

Above are photographs of David Hanson an his son Malcom, who is the cousin of my grandson, Tyler Hunt. I rescued David and his half-brother, Matt, from their abusive step-father, Randolph DelPiano who is in the Grateful Dead book, he known as ‘Bogus Bobby’ a well known con-artist. Patrice told me David is the son of a Black Panther who died in a Chicago fire. Malcom is named after Malcom X.  These two males are topical right now. I have debated for a week about posting these images. But, the story of how I became un-fathered, and how I have struggled to be a father, is a dynamic story that will help many – when told! I considered David and Matt being like my children. But when Patrice told me she was considering going back to The Monster, I threw her out. Did she know she was pregnant?

There is no hope I will ever lay eyes on my newborn granddaughter who Heather entered in a beauty contest….which is to say Patrice did. This Stage Mother lines up all her people when boss found Pierrot’s call. The Hanson sisters demand a blood test – just in case I get wise I am being conned. Does David know what is going on? I would love to hear him tell the truth. My friend Ed Corbin said Heather did not write the letter Patrice sent me. This psychopaths needs me in her corner. She was stalking Rosamond sine I met her. She pretend she has forgotten my name – but not the name ‘Rosamond’.

I am putting Patrice on a collision course with Smoky! I decided to take my ‘Tale of Two Daughters’ out of the trash. These people are in my family tree. I had a step-daughter named Britt who told a judge she would rather live with me, then her father. Her brother attacked Mary Ann, and she I called Britt’s father, he said;

“She had it coming. You’ll find out in time you married a nut!”

I instigated a child custody case. I am having a hard time with the truth most of the women I have bonded with, have bonded with abusive men. My father and Trump are like twins. Children read sexual accusations against POTUS all the time on facebook. Abuse of children is topical. I suffer from child abuse. My autobiography about how my sister and I were abused in every way, was hijacked and handed over to outsiders who exploited Christine and I. Robert Brevoort Buck destroyed a important literary and artistic legacy with the help of Patrice Hanson and her seventeen year old daughter.

“I’m so happy you found out about her now rather than waiting any longer.”

“By September 2000, however, plans were underway for a biography of Decedent, which Petitioner hoped might create interest in her work. The book was published in 2002. Although the book did not spur the hoped-for interest in Decedent’s life and work, efforts continued to market the concept of a screenplay based upon Decedent’s life. Petitioner hoping that this might be brought to fruition, elected to keep the estate open. However, it is the Petitioner’s belief the likelihood of an increased interest in Decedents work is negligible, and the time has come to close the estate.”

My sister suggested that when you come, we get a blood test done to
confirm paternity. I feel 100% certain in myself that you are indeed
Heather’s father. I think you know from your psychic intuitions and
when you see her you will confirm what you already know. However, as
Linda, my sister said, then we’d have confirmation on paper and if
anyone ever challenges it, we can prove it. For example, if Randy
ever shows up although I feel the chances are slim. It’s been 10
years now and we are not that hard to find for anyone who really
wants to. It might be a good idea though. What do you think?

Love,

Patrice

Part of my sister, Linda’s, fears for Heather are connected with the
fact that she (Linda) was molested by relatives on my stepmother’s
side when she was a young teenager. So she has very little trust of men and is very protective toward Heather. I am fairly protective, but I also know I have to trust the Divine Wisdom within her to make wise choices. She does need you now to give her a greater sense of herself and I feel out of
that she will make wiser choices. Knowing she has a dad who loves
her is so important for her right now. It must feel to you like you just had a baby girl. Congratulations dad! I just still feel sad that you were not there Sept. 26, 1984. The night she was born was an experience that I will never forget. I insisted that she stay with me in the hospital at all times and would notlet the nurses take her to the nursery. I just wanted to stay up with her all night and bathe in the feeling of being in love with her that was pervading my being. It was quite extraordinary. She is a very special being. I’m so happy you found out about her now rather than waiting any longer.

Thank you

angels!

I wonder if you can help me. Back in 1983, I met a man in Oakland
named, I believe, Greg. He told me that Rosamond was his sister and
that is the only thing I really know about him as a possible way of locating him. I need to find him for a very important reason. If you happen to know if Rosamond had a brother by this name or any clues that I could follow to locate him, I would appreciate it very much. Thank you for any help you can
offer.

Sincerely,

Jon, It¡¯s great that its coming together so easily for you to come
here soon. I really trust that this all is in the hands of angels
and that everything that is needed will be provided in terms of where
you can stay, etc. I will try to talk to Diane today. It¡¯s a little odd
living in someone else¡¯s house because I can¡¯t just open the house
to my friends without clearing it and working out an exchange that
works for the owner. But she¡¯s really great and I feel she will understand
and be supportive. Plus she is a great artist and will appreciate another artist and she is very familiar with Rosamond¡¯s work, so I¡¯m sure it will be perfect and a win for everyone.

I thought you should have the number for the phone that goes into
Heather¡¯s room. She has her own line. It is.

I¡¯ve been thinking about the apparent conflict in regard to the
biography. Perhaps there is information I don¡¯t have but it seems to me that a biography written by the brother would be a very different book from a very different perspective than one written by an outsider and so there would be room for the creation of both of them. I know when I am really interested in someone or something, I like to get my hands on as many resources as possible to get information from a variety of points of view. So I don¡¯t see that it needs to be an either/or situation. But, as I said, perhaps there is something I don¡¯t know that you do. We can talk about it more. Tom Snyder seems like a really nice guy also. It seems he is supportive of you and he definitely played an important part in connecting you with Heather and that is important and not to be ignored.

I¡¯m excited too. Maybe not as excited as you and Heather, but pretty
excited. I do look forward to seeing you again. I¡¯m happy this is
all out in the open now. It kind of lifts a weight off me that I wasn¡¯t
really aware of but can notice now how much better it feels that you
know about your daughter.

Why would Randy, a known dead-beat and con artist want to show up out of the blue and challenge anyone for the right to be Heather’s father? Are you suggesting has seen the light, and wants to support Heather in every way including having a judgment against him in a
court of law – MAKING him be the good father he never was? No problem
here, as whenever he wants out he would gladly take a blood-test!

I don’t buy it Patrice. Why would he assume the financial burdens a
sixteen year old girl would bring with legal guardianship. All of a
sudden he had the urge to put Heather through college? Now, who else
would show up wanting PROOF I am Heather’s father.

Jon

When I showed the first letter I got from my daughter to my good friend, Ed Corbin, he told me my daughter did not write this letter. Ed has authored a book about Eisenhower, had been an editor at Doubleday, and was a graduate from Harvard. I was dismayed to hear his astute opinion.

“What makes you think so?” I asked.

“A sixteen year old could not have written this. There is evidence of a second party. You daughter only contributed her signature.”
