[note: almost all these cars come back to the same rental agency] 5/20/00 (only this day's was posted to alt.religion.scientology) If I disappear, just know that a green car, Florida plates TO5 FNR has been following me around today and tonight. He had birdshit in an unusual pattern on his car hood so it was easy for me to spot him here and there during my driving. So now we refer to him as the Bird Shit man.

5/22/00 I was driving near Saturn and Airport in Clearwater when I noticed a gold Buick following me. I stopped at one point around a corner but didn't see him again. I drove down another street and stopped off a side area and waited again, and this time he drove past. His license plate # as I wrote it down was FBO-xxx. He sped off after he saw me behind him.

5/27/00 I was riding my bike in downtown Clearwater in the late morning and a silver Buick followed me around. The plate # was FPO- XXX.
6/3/00 I was followed from home by a gold recent model buick with just the driver in the car. At about 2:20pm I was going west on Gulf to Bay and turned right quickly to see if the guy would follow. He continued down gulf to bay so I did a quick u-turn and went back to going west on gulf to bay. at the next street I saw him pulling a u-turn so I quickly pulled over and got out of my car. As he turned back on Gulf to Bay I wrote his licence plate number down - FB0 XXX.

6/4/00 I was followed to church this morning by a gold Buick, license FB0-XXX. I pulled into the bank parking lot on the southeast corner of Drew and Belcher, and he followed me in at abou 9:30am. I let him pass me and wrote down his plate number. Then I turned around onto Drew again and he followed me. I turned into the Baptist church there and went to church. Afterword I left with the crowd and went east on Drew. I turned right onto a side street, then left a ways and parked. Sure enough, the gold Buick came along.

He turned up a street rather than pass me, so I followed to make sure it was the same plate #. After a chase I got his plate number again then let him go. I didn't have a camera but will be getting a video camera soon.

6/7/00 I left work about 6:30pm tonight. From the parking garage near the Trust I turned north onto Garden and went straight north to see if someone was following me. I thought I saw a car do a u-turn from where the PI's usually park, so I turned right on Seminole, then made a quick turn into a parking lot on the right where no one following could see me until they passed me.

Sure enough, a silver Buick passed, so I got behind him when he stopped at the light nearby. I took a photo of his license plate - FPO-XXX, then continued following him in hopes of getting a photo of the driver. The driver made some quick moves to try to lose me. When he blew past a stop sign, I stopped following him.

I believe this was the same person following me on May 27 when he was following me riding my bicycle.

6/8/00 Scientology private investigators went to the neighbors of my house in Scottsdale Arizona. The investigator was described as looking just like Eugene Ingram, but he had an ID card that said Keith Fowler. He had another man in his 50's perhaps with blondish disappearing hair with him. "Keith"

asked my neighbor why I moved to Florida and said he was investigating Bob Minton (though I don't think he named Bob). He asked if I was now making about $40-60k per year. Did I marry my former girlfriend named Olson? When did I move? Who helped me? Did I ever have women over? What did they look like?

He showed a photo of my sister. He asked about my father. Then he visited the renters at my home in Scottsdale.

6/10/00 Today I rode my bike along NE Coachman and turned north on Old Coachman about 6pm. There was a silver Pymouth parked on the side of Old Coachman facing south. The man in the car (alone) was watching NE Coachman. I surmised that this may be how the PI's knew when I left my home and followed me in the past, so I serruptitiously videotaped his license plate number after passing him by - XMY XXX. I then went and took some videotape of the park, then crossed to the other side of Coachman and tried to get a video of the man's face. When he saw my camera he immediately swung his sun visor around to hide his face. I then went home and got in my car to try to drive by and get a video of his face, but the car was gone.

6/11/00 I left the Trust tonight about 6pm or so and headed north to play tourist along the coast. I tried to see if I was being followed and noticed a white car that stayed a ways back from me. I decided I could do 2 things at once if I looked for a park along the beach to stop at and see if this car followed me. So I turned left onto a street, drove to the end, then turned left into a cul de sac. There was a house for rent right on the beach there (a green house, 2126 something street, realtor 787-4000), so I stopped to write down information about it and look at it a little. When I got back to my car, a white car was coming up this very quiet cul de sac. I got my videocamera ready to try to get the plate number after he made a u-turn and headed back out. Since I couldn't tell if I got it, I followed him out. A truck got between us as he turned back south on alt-19 (the road I came up on). So I kept following hoping the truck woud turn off. When the truck did turn off I sped up to get behind the car, but when I did he immediately made a wild turn into a gas station and headed back north on alt.-19. I caught up to him and wrote his plate number down, then turned off to go my way. He, however, then began following me again. So I made some turns and got behind him again. Then he made a wild u-turn and I kept going and tried to get away from him, which I think I succeeded in doing.

Some little of this I have on videotape. It's a white 4-door possible Ford, license plate D31 XXX. I can't describe the driver because I was trying to drive and write or drive and videotape. I believe it was a man in his 30's with black hair.

6/20/00 At about 7:50pm tonight I left my apartment heading east on NE Coachman Rd. Parked at the Walmart parking lot nearby on Highway 19 on my left was a silver 4-door car all by itself pointing towards the entrance to my apartment complex. A woman was in it and it looked like the woman who has been in a silver car near my work at the Trust when I leave. She is often in a place I would drive by on Garden Avenue when going home. She was leaning down not looking at the road, so I hoped to go write her license plate number down to show another person who is stalking me - T35 XXX. I got close enough to write her license plate number down, then decided I should get a good look at her face if possible so I can say who the person is besides just the car. As I approached the driver's side of her car she looked up and saw me. Her jaw dropped and I think she said "oh my God", then immediately put her running car into gear and drove off. I never said a word to her.

7/12/00 Today I saw a silver 4-door Buick in my apartment complex where I had previously seen such a car with a man in it and the engine running. That man looked like the man who had followed me previously. His car was aimed to where my car was parked. When I left my apartment for work about 8:45 am going west on NE coachman I saw a silver car pull out not long after me.

that car then turned left on Belcher as I did, but he was one car behind me.

When that car turned right, the silver car turned right also. I immediately turned off and waited behind a wall to see whether this was the guy who often followed me. Sure enough, the silver car went by after a minute or 2, so I got behind him and wrote his plate # down... XXX XXX. I videotaped his plate # too on Gulf to Bay. The man in the car looked like the man who had previously followed me, heavy set, light colored moustache.

7/13/00 At 8:45am I decided to go down from my apartment the back way, go by the pool and near the office where I could look to see if my stalker was parked where I had seen him before. Sure enough, there he was in a silver 4-door like he usually drives, and that I had observed him in the day before (license HF3 XXX). I videotaped him a little from the weight room just across from him, then talked to the apartment managers to see if they would be willing to tell him to leave the property. They suggested that I contact the police so I did. I waited about 15 minutes before Officer Dupree showed up. I went outside to point out the stalker, and Officer Dupree went to talk to him. I was videotaping this and Officer Dupree told me to stop so I did.

Officer Dupree talked to the man as he sat in his car. After Officer Dupree finished he came up to talk to me as the stalker left. Officer Dupree said the stalker was a private investigator named Christopher E. Nelson, and since he was simply observing my movements and not contacting me in any way, Mr. Nelson was within his legal rights to follow me. I asked Officer Dupree if he would be filing an incident report and he said no because no crime had been committed. We discussed stalking laws for a while with the apartment manager who came out to talk too. I left about 9:40am to then go to work.

Christopher E. Nelson Florida PI license C2000116, Security Officer Lic.

D9713441, works for Advanced Security, Palm Beach FL 7/30/00 11:20am - Today I went to Walmart at US 19 and NE Coachman to pick up some photos, then drove south on US 19. I noticed a car behind me similar to the one we saw 7/26/00 at 7:20pm near Harrison's downtown. When we tried to get that car's license plate the guy drove off the wrong way on Court St. His plate # was T29 XXX and I believe this car today had the same plate although I didn't have a pen available to write the number down.

When I saw him I turned into the Target parking lot and assumed if he was a PI that he would turn into the Target entrance off Drew, so I drove toward that entrance and sure enough he drove in. I got behind him and tried to memorize his plate number, then when he turned one way I turned the other and left. He did not seem to follow me from there. The car looked identical to the one near Harrison's, which I have on tape.

7/31/00 I took Gerry Armstrong from his deposition on Clearwater Beach to the airport. We were followed there by a car, license T67-XXX.

8/8/00??

At some date around this time I walked from work to Checkers just a block north to get food. As I was leaving I noticed the car that had followed Gerry and me, license T67-XXX. A guy in his 30's maybe with black hair and glasses, average build, was in the car. I walked back to the Trust to get a camera to take his picture, but he left before I got back.

8/13/00 Today Mark Bunker and I went to a movie at Tampa Blvd. and Curlew. At 6:30pm we were driving away when I noticed a car similar to one I had seen following me before. Last week I saw this car at Checker's near the Trust and saw a man maybe in his 30's with a beard, black hair and glasses. I noticed the plate #, T67 XXX and recognized that as a car that had followed me before. When I went back to the Trust to get a camera, as I was leaving to go take a picture of his plate #, the man drove by on Ft. Harrison Ave.

and waved at me.

Tonight a young thin black woman was driving this same car with the same plate #. We followed her briefly after I noticed the car and plate #, then left in an opposite direction that she went.

September 27, 2000 Today I decided to go for a short walk about 4:15pm in downtown Clearwater. I walked over to Garden Ave. and headed south in front of the public garage. Toward Cleveland I saw a green car parked illegally near the "alley" behind the Cleveland street buildings. A largish man was inside and a lot of documents and a red floppy disc were strewn around inside. I thought this might be a PI so I wrote the plate # down. When I was returning from my short walk I came back the same way. The green car was there in the same place, only now Richard Howd was in the passenger seat.

He and the other man were looking at printouts of some person's head shot photos. I said "hi Richard" as his window was down, then videotaped the back of the car for proof that it was there and went back to work. Plate # UDU XXX.

Sept. 28, 2000 Today I walked over to Billy Gz's on Cleveland Street to eat. As I walked down Garden Avenue from the garage, I passed a parked red car with a young thin black female sitting in the driver seat. This reminded me of the young black woman who had followed Mark and I to the movies. I saw in her car a pile of documents and in the back seat a cooler. This made me think she might be the same person who stalked us before, so I wrote the license plate # down... DK3 XXX.

8/30/00 Today I rode my bike downtown and looked at the arts festival. On the way home about noon I was driving by the Hacienda Gardens when I looked over on Jupiter St. and saw a silver 4-door new model that looks like the car that follows me sometimes. I looked at the plate as it went past and it was HF3 XXX, and looked like my stalker. I watched the car continue north on Jupiter and stop at teh stop sign about 2 blocks up. The car stayed at the stop sign for a long time then headed north. I then drove south and went through back streets in different directions because I didn't want to be followed. I called home with my cell phone and left a message of the plate #.

October 1, 2000 Today about 4pm I left from downtown Clearwater heading home on Drew. I noticed a silver car behind me with a familiar looking person driving and talking on his cell phone. At the next light I stopped way before the red light in the right lane so this guy in the left lane would pass. As he passed he turned immediately into the right lane and tried to turn onto the other street. I followed videotaping so I could record his plate number, HF3 XXX. It looked just like the usual guy who follows me. He wound up stuck in the parking lot right at that corner because he pulled in and I pulled in right behind him. I then left and took a circuitous route home.

I don' t think he followed me but I also don't think he could have.

About 6pm I stepped outside my apartment with my bike to take a ride. As I looked at the parking lot to see if the silver car was around I noticed a white 4-door driving slowly by. The man in the car was leaning in my direction staring at me. Now about 6:10pm I was riding my bike south along Old Coachman Rd. I noticed this same silver car, plate # HF3 XXX going south past me on Old Coachman. I got angry that this guy keeps following me, so I tried to find someplace to go on my bike where he couldn't follow.

I noticed a white 4 door turn on the road I was on. Assuming this might be the same guy at my apartment I tried to find a way to avoid him as well by going into a ditch. The white car made a u-turn and went south on Old Coachman. I was getting frustrated so I decided to head north instead and go on the east-west bike trail that goes up to the Long Center. When I got over to the Long Center I noticed a car pulling into the parking lot there, so feeling paranoid I rode my bike north over to the Salvation Army property. I found a small ditch there so I just sat in there to wait out my stalkers. About 5 minutes later here drives in a silver 4-door. The guy in it is looking this way and that, then he slowly drives by where I am. He stares at me then drives out. It again is HF3 XXX. I decided then to call the police, which I did around 7:30pm. About 7:35pm a white 4-door drove into the lot. I thought this might be the white car from home so I rode my bike along the parking lot so I could write down his plate #. He had driven completely in back of the building, I assume looking for another way out. I drove back there as I called my home phone # to leave a message of the plate # (I didn't have pen and paper with me.) As he drove by me to get out he hid his face with his arm. His plate # is T5O XXX (I don't know if that's a zero or a letter O).

A black female officer arrived about 6:50pm. I explained about the silver car and that I just want to ride my bike without being stalked. She attempted to find the car at the Long Center but with no luck. I then stated that even if this is a PI I don't think he has a legal right to stalk me. I then told her about the white car but that I wasn't positive it was a stalker too. She left and I rode my bike home.

When I got home I rode my bike around the parking lot looking for the white car. When I was by the laundromat, here comes a white car into the parking area. Sure enough, it was the same plate #, T5O XXX. I tried to ride up to him to get a look at his face but he drove quickly out of the complex and headed north.

10/3/00 At 8:45am I was heading east on NE Coachman from Old Coachman when I spied the same silver car and the same driver (HF3 XXX)heading west on NE Coachman at that intersection.

10/7/00 Today about 3:30pm or so Mark Bunker and I were videotaping at the corner of Cleveland Street and Ft. Harrison Ave. We went to walk across Cleveland Street, when I looked in the first car parked at the red light there to my left. It was my stalker in a white 4-door Ford. I crossed the street while turning on my videocamera. I taped the back of the car so I could get the plate number, T38 XXX. I had hoped to walk back to tape his face but the light turned green and he drove off. I observered my stalker drive by that interesection at least 3 more times within the space of about 10 minutes, so I took some more video of him driving by.

10/8/00 Today as I was walking toward Garden toward the garage, I looked north and saw a white Ford 4-door at the intersection. This is like the car yesterday that was driving by. He drove east, so I assumed that if he was my stalker that he would turn right and return going west on Cleveland St.

I ran down to Cleveland street and sure enough he drove by, which I videotaped.

October 13, 2000 Today Mark Bunker, Heather Bennett, and Ingrid Wagner and I ate near a Deli at 33 N. Garden. There is a place to eat outside there. Just east of this little park type area is a parking lot, and then there is the post office parking area.

As we were eating a car drove in. I asked Heather if this was like the car she thought was a PI yesterday hanging around outside the Trust. She said it did look like it. The gold Cadilla DeVille turned around in the lot slowly, then parked. I never saw anyone leave from that area, although there was a wall between us and the car. A few minutes later I decided to see if this was a PI. As I stood up I saw a man in sunglasses standing in front of this car. I began to videotape the man, who was probably 100 feet away. As soon as he saw me he turned the other way and began walking off. Since he was simply standing in front of his car, and the way he reacted when he saw me, I assumed this was a PI stalking us. When the plates, T75 XXX, they came back to X Leasing, the same company that almost all the stalker's cars came to.

About 4:45pm I went outside to look for PI's before employees at the Trust began leaving for the day. I walked north on Ft. Harrison Ave. across Drew north of the Checker's food place. I then walked east toward the gym where PI's sometimes wait for us. As I got to Garden I looked left and saw a red car parked with a man sitting in it facing south. I walked across the street and walked north on Garden. The man inside looked like my stalker so I videotaped him as he hid his face. I videotaped the license plate, T83 XXX, and this came back as X Leasing. I played the tape for Jesse Prince and he identified this man as one who stalks him as well.

October 18, 2000 Today Bob Minton was in the office so I assumed there would be more PIs around the Trust. When we came back from lunch he was served with a subpoena. I decided to go looking for PIs around 5pm. I went north past Drew on Ft. Harrison Ave. then went east to where I had seen my stalker previously on Garden Street. There was a green Neon IWG XXX parked in the same spot, with a person in the car and the car running. I assumed this was a PI so I taped the license plate number, then walked across the street to tape his face. He saw me first, put a notepad in front of his face and drove off quickly.

I then went south on Garden and saw an Altima parked in front of the garage where I park. His motor was running and he was constantly looking in his rear view mirrors. I thought he might be a PI so I taped his licens plate number VMZ XXX and taped him from the side. I then went into the building behind me and videotaped him for a while longer. He suddenly noticed me and pushed his seat back so he fell backwards out of my view. I then left. This plate comes back to XXX.

5/1/01 At 5:40 I left the garage from work today. I stopped at a mail dropoff nearby and noticed a car suddenly swerve away from going by me. I thought this might be a PI so I turned around to see where he went. He had headed up to Drew street, so I followed far behind. He turned off a small side street so I followed, at which point he began wild and fast maneuvers to avoid me so I backed off.

7/11/01 Tonight at 6:45pm I was leaving the Trust heading north on Watterson Street.

I noticed a silver car in the Checker's parking lot in a place where Scientology private investigators have previously watched us. So I went into the Checkers lot to see if it might be a private investigator and wound up behind the silver Bonneville. He was right at the west parking lot exit waiting to pull out but there was a lot of traffic. I stopped about 5 feet behind the car, plate #T36 XXX. Brian Raftery (I recognized him from seeing him in court) jumped out of the car, came up to within about 4 feet of my window, and, red-faced, began yelling profanities at me. He said something like "stop following me you fucking asshole!" I became afraid and made sure my door was locked and my window all the way up. I noticed several people at the Checker's watching Raftery's outburst. I asked Raftery "are you going to move your car?" He stared at me for a second and then got in his car and drove north on Ft. Harrison. I parked in the Checker's lot and wrote down his plate number and a brief account of the event.

7/31/01 4pm I was walking east on Cleveland Street toward the Walgreen's drug store.

I was waiting for the light to change at the Post office corner, when a gold van came south slowly, to turn right onto Cleveland. As I looked at the driver, he had a baseball hat over his face so I couldn't see who he was.

This peculiar behavior made me write down the plate #, T51 XXX, which turns out to be X Rental Car. The van went west one block and turned right, thus going back toward where it came from.

8/1/01 I saw the gold van just north of the Trust on Watterson Street. When I walked toward it to see if it was the same plate number, the car drove off.

I assumed it might go down to Cleveland Street to double back, where it did, and the I took some video of it. The driver once again hid his face with his hat.

Go Back
