Capturing Beauty

Fourteen Bullhead Policemen worked on the death of my niece, Drew Taylor Rosemond Benton. The cost to Bullhead City has to be enormous. I feel for all those – who serve and protect – who had to see an extremely bloody scene, and find out of it was a crime scene. When it looked like suicide, these officers searched for a reason – why? I know the rescue of the cats was hard. I am reminded of the killing of the puppy when I took the Mafia to court o\in Boston that is the main source of my PTSD. I witnessed the darkest side of humanity, being some people will do anything to get their way. If you get in their way, then expect the very worst. Drew’s cats are completely innocent and have no explanation of what happened. The human that loved and cared for them, did not come home.
When I went to office on November 1st to pay my rent, I complained about being TARGETTED, signaled out for special treatment by a couple who do not live here, but, have rented a garage her for a month, or more. I wanted to know what their rights were according to the lease they signed. Did I own seniority, and more rights than they – because I live here? My lease says I must be respectful of fellow tenants – and their rights! I didn’t want to break my lease and get evicted. Death on the streets at 78 years of age seemed a real possibility. Is it?
As I was grilled by two female managers I held one of the biography’s about Drew and her famous parents that mentions incest and the sexual abuse of my relatives when they were children. It is said Christine Rosamond Benton had spent time in therapy and came to believe all father’s molest their children. A terrible divorce just ended when my sister downed in the what she feared the most. In a text the garage woman sent me, she says a minor is being fought over, and alcoholism is involved. I used the words “child abuse” in the office.
I was going to use Snyder’s bio as evidence of the ongoing abuse of a senior, and as a possible culprit in the suicide of Garth Benton’s daughter. who went to high school with the parents of Kim Hafner who became my neighbor seven years ago. Kim agreed to be the model for my first Detective Book-Series ‘Kimbo and Wade’, thus I get to write about her. This story led me to begin ‘The Royal Janitor’ that is coming true due to the cabinet pick of the President Elect. I and others are very afraid.
When detective Holstom and I first talked on the phone, she told me she could not find any of Drew’s kin, yet she found Shamus Dundon who said he did not know his cousin suffered from mental illness, that is found on THAT side of the family. What side is that, Shamus? My nephew said he and Drew had talked about PLAYING VIDEO GAMES TOGETHER! What?
The day after Christine’s funeral Drew was dropped off by Garth to play video games with Shamus, who was good with computers. Drew was eight, and kept from her mother’s funeral by her father. How insane is this? The year is 1994. Computer games are just taking off. Vicki and Drew were really into EverQuest. I wondered if Drew was playing this fantasy game when she lost touch with reality. She began to stab herself with an ornate knife. A poem was found by the police. Garth’s daughter was wandering around in a car dealership, and is captured on camera. Fourteen policemen searched for the reason Drew took her life. I put forth a theory, that someone took away the life of her Avatar, and the insolation around her deep pain – dissolved! She was guessing at what reality is – most of her life! Her parents were Master Illusionists. Garth was a thespian and appeared in two movies.
When Kim Hafner and I became friends, she introduced me to her parents who met at Reseda High School, and were extremely into their High School History – and their gemology – that I offered to help them with. In one day I discovered Garth Benton went to Reseda around the same time. This made the Hafner’s very happy. I told Sue there is a book about Garth and Christine. I ordered that book, and gave it to Kim Hafner to read. A month later I asked for my family story, back. Kim said she did not read it. I asked if her parents read it. She said they had not. There were about eleven dog-eared pages, that did not exist when I handed Drew’s Story to her. Her defense was I INFLICTED Drew’s Story on my neighbors, and this was….ABUSE! In the video below I am questioned about me being eligible to be on Section Eight, and live here, being I am so famous. One neighbor says;
“You need to be locked up because you are a lunatic!”
Drew’s ex-boyfriends told an officer, Drew said she was pregnant with his child – and he was Jesus! Did Drew need to be locked up? Is it just fine that she had a horrible dearth, because – SHE WAS A LUNATIC. Was – is the key word. Kim Hafner is a retired nurse who worked at the Johnson Unit for many years. Sid she thing I was a dangerous lunatic – who needs to be locked up? How come Kim did not call CAHOOTS. I told her and two of her family members, this…
“I called the cops, and, they are on their way!”
Take note of my ex-upstairs neighbor coming up to me and grasping my arm. I and her caregiver could not stop her from doing this. Cheryl said this to me..
“I put a hit out on you!”
She was saying she gets to do what she wants to me, and if I resist, she will have me killed.
I am compiling this information for Manuel at Riverstone who is going to go with me when I file a complaint with Adut Services. The mention of me being on Section 8 should be considered a THREAT to get me moved out of my apartment where I have lived for Twenty-one years. These people are out for REVENGE! Yesterday I read about the trail of blood leading from Drew’s apartment to the third floor railing that was smeared with blood when my niece climbed over the railing, like you see in this video – and jumped! She survived and died in the hospital after pulling all her life-support tubes out. Why wasn’t she restrained? I have never heard of such a horrific – DESIRE TO DIE! They say the case is closed. I disagree. I suspect someone killed Drew in cyberspace, and this was VERY REAL for her.
What if I snuck into Sue Hafner’s home in the middle of the night, and burned all her year books and High School memorabilia on the front lawn? Would this kill Sue – break her heart beyond repair? Drew died of a heart attack two hours after she – jumped! I believe she did not know who she was anymore. It was not easy for me to navigate her cremation. When her ashes were DELIVERED to me, I grasped when I opened the door: For there stood Jesus with a light in back of his head. I read the words on the box, and went for my phone. I was already fighting REAL demons, and for days I fought them for the soul of the Daughter of Garth and Christine Benton – who found a home, found sanctuary in my home!
I believe Drew’s cats are safe. I say a prayer for the brave officers who sought the truth, that day…
and this day!
I am grateful for your help/, and the help of the mortuary.

Matthew 6:9-13
New International Version
9 “This, then, is how you should pray:
“‘Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name,
10 your kingdom come,
your will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
11 Give us today our daily bread.
12 And forgive us our debts,
as we also have forgiven our debtors.
13 And lead us not into temptation,[a]
but deliver us from the evil one.[b]’
“Two weeks ago I gave Kim my copy of ‘When You Close Your Eyes’ to read. When she is done, we will compare notes. I asked her to mark the pages where something smelled fishy. Kimbo and Wade are on the case of Killer Rogue Wave! We are going to study Garth’s words, and hidden agendas that I explore in another movie idea ‘Anatomy of a Rogue Wave’.”
“EXTRA! I just talked to Alisa who is in charge of the RH yearbooks. She knew Garth. She drove down to Long Beach with him to meet up with his HS Flame, Eija Riitta Heninonen, who was a foreign exchange student. Wow! What a dish! Did Merry Anders remind Garth of his Finish Flame? Did she fire-up his Bohemian Ways, he wanting a more exotic and erotic lifestyle? Did Christine and Garth have fights over her, because she messed him up when she rejected him?”
Garth Benton Went To Reseda High
Posted on June 23, 2017 by Royal Rosamond Press
Yesterday, Sue Hafner, returned my call. I had just discovered that Garth Benton (Paul Garfield Benton) went to Reseda High School, and graduated in 1959. Two months ago I was at Sue and Jack’s home looking at family photos, and the 1958 yearbook, because Sue had graduated in 1958 from Reseda High. I was going to help her with a story about her grandfather, Maynard, a renowned pole vaulter. Jack Webb was at his wedding.
As it turns out, the actress, Merry Anders, played police woman, Dorothy Miller, in the series Dragnet, and, co-starred in the movie with Garth Benton, who played Buddy ‘Raiders From Beneath The Sea. Merry starred in ‘The Hypnotic Eye’ and ‘The Beauty and the Beast’. This makes Garth the most famous graduate of Reseda High.

On June 12 I connected my story ‘Kimbo and Wade’ with the Hypnotic Eye. Kim Hafner is my model for Kimbo, which is Kim’s nickname. Kim lives downstairs with Daisy, who is the model of Witzelina. The synchronicity is amazing! Merry might be the first T.V. police woman. Sue was not happy when she saw the words on the T-Shirt Kimbo was wearing. She is the New Detective who will change the game again.
As an amazing coincidence, Christine and I had a falling out in front of her second husband, Rick Partlow, who was a good friend, Bruce Fairbairn, who was present. Bruce was one of the stars of ‘The Rookie’. Rick was a co-star in a movie.
“Partlow-Rosamond ENCINO A garden ceremony at the home of Mrs. Christine Rosamond united her and Richard Partlow. a television personality. Mrs. Rosamond is the daughter of Mrs. Rosemary Miles, also of Encino, and Vic Presco of San Francisco. The bridgegroom’s parents are Mr. and Mrs. Ron Kalina of North Hollywood. The bride was attended by her sister. Mrs. Vicki Prather. and Miss Shannon Sidle was also a member of the wedding parly for which Bruce Fairbairn served as best man. A reception followed the ceremony.”

EXTRA! I just talked to Alisa who is in charge of the RH yearbooks. She knew Garth. She drove down to Long Beach with him to meet up with his HS Flame, Eija Riitta Heninonen, who was a foreign exchange student. Wow! What a dish! Did Merry Anders remind Garth of his Finish Flame?

Anders was born Mary Helen Anderson in Chicago in 1934,[1] the only child of Charles, a contractor, and Helen Anderson. Anders was of German, Irish and Swedish descent. In 1949, Anders and her mother visited Los Angeles for two weeks. They decided to remain in Los Angeles permanently while Charles Anderson remained in Chicago.[2] While she was a student at John Burroughs Middle School, Anders met former actress Rita LeRoy who encouraged her to begin a modeling career. While working as a junior model, Anders began studying acting at the Ben Bard Playhouse. It was there that a talent scout from 20th Century Fox spotted her and signed her to a film contract in 1951.[3]

I’m the last one standing. Today I recall The Love we owned. Siblings, from the same womb. What a blessing.

Christine’s Birthday
Posted on October 24, 2018 by Royal Rosamond Press
Marilyn came over and picked up Christin’s biography. We have been exchanging stories about my later sister. Marilyn has done some sewing for Rosamond who is wearing her Train Dress like the one Debbie Boone has on. M was invited to the opening of the second gallery. Christine gave her two paintings ‘The Song of the Dragon’ and ‘Beach’ that is a painting of my niece, Drew. Her cousin Cian is ‘Garden Child’ and on Christine’s right, is our mother, Rosemary. Rosamond painted her family.
The rival, Sue Hafner family, and her anti-Art Gang made threats in order oppress the gifted children in my family.
Marilyn made the coat the actor, Rick Partlow, is wearing for their wedding. Christine models a Train Dress.

Marilyn at Moonfire Ranch
Posted on July 28, 2014by Royal Rosamond Press
When Marilyn told me her portfolia got burned up in a fire, I grieved, for she told me within were photographs of her friend, Maggie Thrett. She is posing in the dresses and outfits M made for this actress who was in ‘Mudd’s Women’ a Star Trek eposode.
M had gone to Paris when she was seventeen to study fashoin design. Like the Rosamond Women, she made her own clothes. M&M used to go to parties togethers, and the Reneisance Fair, with their mutual friend, Jane Marie Mandsfield, the daughter of the famous actress who was the other Blonde Hollywood Bobmshell. Mother and daughter both appeared in Playboy magazine that did a centerfold shoot at Moonfire last year.
When I reminded M she has one photo of just her and Jane in it, she asked me;
“Who do you think took the photo?”
I blushed!
When Maggie was invted to the Moonfire Ranch, she got M an invite. At this famous Bohemian house that overlooks the Paccific Ocean, M met McDonald who married Ertha Kitt. He took a liking to Marilyn who made it on the A list. Perhaps it was the modeling she did in this artist’s retreat that was in the movie Mondo Hollywood that starred Jane Mansfield. M said she posed against this mural an artist rendered in a out-of-this world home that Captain Kirk might dwell in on his days off.
Here again is that architectural theme that we find in the Big Sur, and the house designed by for Allan Fox. This is why I was shocked to learn Allan sold that home shortly after Christine drowned, it the kind of home you keep in the family for generations to come. Julie Lynch sold a movie script about Rosamond to the director who did ‘Scent of a Woman’. Will Hollywood be going out to Rocky Point?
At Mooonfire the rich and famous came to partake of the creative ambience and behold other beautiful people. George Harris and Andy Warhol have been guests. Manson and his women did a walk-on.
This Spot of Venus was the best America had to offer, at least on the West Coast. There was a need to say you were there. Here is The Supreme Stage where long white curtain like the hems of giant Greek Angels wave like flags in the ocean breeze. Here the Lost Angels are found keeping their secrets. Here, beautiful souls can have it all, all that was denied since the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth Rock and unleashed a broadside on the naked native, a bombardment of prudishness, a hatred of pagans and heathens. From these heights, there came a grand
Oly! Oly Ocean. Free!”
Marilyn lived in Latico Canyon up the coast. She and her boyfriend were going to raise Russian Wolf Hounds on a ranch they rented. M would walk on Santa Monica and Venice Beach with her two hounds wearing the scarves and dresses she made. The famous fashion photographer, Steven Silverstein did a shoot of M on Malibu Beach. The movie ‘Harper’ was shot at Moonfire. Consider Pynchon’s book ‘Inherent Vice’ that is being made into a movie. The Manson Murders lurk in the background. Marilyn walks out of a Icart on to the sands of Venice with her hounds, she hot on the trail of the Great Mystery of Life.
When Mary Ann Tharaldsen and I flew down to LA to get married, we slept in Marilyn’s bed. Mary Ann had a aversion to motels and hotels that I assumed was a hangover from her marriage to Thomas Pynchon. M let M wear one of her Train Dresses that was inspired by a pattern that Maggie found, she wanting M to make her a house robe. We got married in Topanga Canyon by a minister who went to Hollywood Boulevard in order to convert lost Hippie street urchins. Bryan MacLean sang ‘Amazing Grace’ at our wedding. He was converted to Christianity by the same minister that converted Bob Dylan.
The biography ‘Forever Changes’ says my friend, Bryan McLean lived at Vito Paulekas’ warehouse and practiced with the band that was once called ‘The Grass Roots’. There is a Laurel Canyon connection. Vito was a sculpture who surrounded himself with wild chicks and nude dancers, some who became the GTOs. Vito is in Mondo Hollywood, as is Lewis Mark, the owner of Moonfire.
In Forever Changes, Arthur Lee talk about the first time they saw Bryan and the Whiskey a Go-Go. He was surrounded by beautiful young women, his followers. It is alleged Arthur invited Bryan to join his band because these girls were Groupies of the Bryds, whom Bryan was a roadie for. But, Bryan was a Chick magnet in High School. He would take me on his rounds, usually on Friday night. He made dates with three girls. When we came thru the door, it was as if he was celebrity. The mothers swooned, and did all they could to get my Bryan to stay. While Bryan is at Vito’s warehouse, Andy Walhol is doing a similar scene in New York.
Cue the Beautiful Gypsy Bandit who with her gang of Bohemian Ragamuffins, the next generation Hippie-chic that tried to hijack this blog, that may contain a Murder Mystery.
