I have been asked by several people how extensive are my preparations as a creditor in preparing, managing, and identifying required information pertaining to “psychic” Noreen Renier following her Chapter 7 bankruptcy filing. Much of the interest has come since the federal judge in the Lynchburg, Virginia U.S. Bankruptcy Court allowed one or more assets related to her book to be sold in an open public hearing on February 25, 2010. There is an earlier posting (January 28th) about that public bid process also on this forum.
My current legal preparations are certainly the most extensive within the last 5 years --- and likely a match for anything I’ve prepared for since first learning of Ms. Renier.
Her first contact was made when she wrote to my home asking for my help in 1985 and signed letters using the alias signature of Nancy Uzdavinis. Noreen Renier wrote that she needed help in discovering whether or not Noreen Renier was a phony. (View a copy of that letter at the bottom of the page, at link http://www.amindformurder.com/ ) That ironic occurrence was never known by the six-member jury (or myself!) in a southern Oregon courtroom later in 1985 when she sued me and the scheme wasn’t uncovered until several years later --- outside the time period bounds for a mistrial.
My attorney in 1992 stated to a federal court that “"Noreen Renier lied under oath when she stated she was not aware of any investigation of herself by John Merrell . . . In actuality, Noreen Renier deceived John Merrell by sending him letters under the disguise of Nancy Uzdavinis. . . .In other words, Ms. Renier, through her deceitful letters, under the name of Nancy Uzdavinis, began the whole process, which culminated in Ms. Renier perjuring herself in an attempt to conceal the fact that she knew of John Merrell's investigation. . . .Mr. Merrell was unaware that Noreen Renier had led him to investigating herself. One truism rings clear in this whole situation; these parties would not be together had it not been for Ms. Renier's deceitful beginnings."
Twenty-five years later I’m well prepared for the February 25, 2010 hearing with wide-ranging support documentation compiled over the past six months. Currently the largest number and most geographically diverse group of subpoenas I’ve ever filed are gathering further information and sources of support for my case as a creditor after winning judgments against Ms. Renier in a U.S. District Court in November 2006 and April 2007. My current actions are not those of a skeptic versus a psychic, but rather the guidelines one must follow as a creditor (I’m owed in excess of $40,000) in a legal proceeding.
Although there was a local television reporter at the last January 11, 2010 hearing ---who I did not speak with other than to clarify which station she was with --- I’m hopeful this is not going to be a replay of the media draw in a former U.S. Bankruptcy Court where Ms. Renier actively solicited attention. As distinguished and credible JREF forum participants are aware, I’m personally participating as a creditor in a courtroom, not as a publicity seeker before national media.
Hopefully anyone who selects to attend the court hearing will do so responsibly and not because of the historical battle between a skeptic and ---as Renier has identified herself --- a “super psychic”. The outcome of the upcoming hearing may offer some conclusion on whether her “super psychic” status is a realistic claim. I appreciate the assistance and support of many JREF members. -John Merrell participating under "amindformurder" group link at amindformurder@gmail.com
