About Kelsey Briggs Instalment One


by Bill Bowen on Thursday, August 12, 2010 at 4:06pm

Here is some data we all need to know about. I am going to be posting a series of stories here and this is the first installment about this case and what has gone on and what is currently going on because it is shocking and which shows almost everything that is wrong with the CPS system. It is time to stand up and show what we can do. I will be presenting irrefutable facts and findings so you will have a chance to decide for yourself just how despicable one certain individual really is and I will reveal some of her activities that you probably were not aware of prior to reading what you will read here. I have reached the point where I will not sit by and have innocent people destroyed for the sake of just trying to sell a book but what in my opinion is a most untalented and highly UNSUCCESSFUL writer. I don't care about them generally, however, when they use the memory of a murdered child, when they are afraid to have the child's grandmother bring out some hard truths they are assuming their book sales are more important than the actual truth and they are NOT. I will explain the methods they use to try and apply try and start a controversy. The truth doesn't come out there, not in a bad book, written by a writer who has never had any real success and that now have discovered a family suffering greatly from the loss of their innocent and beautiful daughter and granddaughter. Since most of us do not have the ti me to read more than 14,000 pages of transcripts, email, interviews and presentencing reports along with motions and attempts to gain an overturn in appeals, we are left without the means of investigating each detail of a case completely, which leaves us subject to being mislead by someone trying to take advantage of our ignorance and lead us into purchasing a book that anybody who is familiar with all the details of a case would reject out of hand. This is a case where one person just attacks and attacks without real evidence and even if those attacks fly in the face of evidence presented in court. Even where the courts have ruled and where somebody is simply trying to sell a book based on nothing.

When I see this happening I will step in and starting raising the dickens and bringing you the truth. Stand by, this is going to get very rocky, but you WILL learn some truths you didn't know before. Several months ago I started receiving messages from a person named Jody Ortiz. Those messages involved the Kelsey Briggs case, who was the little 2 1/2 year old girl who, while under the supervision of DHS in Oklahoma and the family court there, Judge Craig Key. Kelsey suffered damage to her nose, bruises on her face, broken clavicle (collar bones) and then both of legs being twisted hard until they both broke. Kelsey is the little girl in the film innocence Destroyed wearing the Purple dress and the purple hat with her arms folded. If you watch that film you will notice I did not point the finger at or name an individual, as being responsible for her death. I basically was using that story to show another DHS FAILURE TO PROTECT A CHILD. One day, well after suffering all the abuse she had gone through, somebody kicked her or punched her in the stomach and she died. Remember this, her Court Appointed Special Advocate or CASA worker had Kelsey as her first case and had received her training in the Girl Scouts. Seriously! There was a judge in that case, Craig Key, who kept returning Kelsey to her mother and her mother's new husband. At one time the court ordered the new husband was not to have any contact alone with Kelsey.

The day Kelsey was murdered, the only other people in that house until she was murdered, where her mother, Raye Dawn Smith, the CPS/DHS worker who dropped by for a visit and much later the stepfather. When the step father got home the mother insisted on taking his vehicle and going to school and picking up his biological daughter. When she returned home there were ambulances there and the step father had made an emergency call saying Kelsey was having convulsions. Kelsey died that day. An autopsy revealed she had been kicked in the stomach or beaten and suffered a fatal rupture, caused by those blows to her stomach. Now, it seems pretty clear that the only people there besides Kelsey at the time were Raye Dawn, who is was Kelsey's mother and Mike Porter her step father. The mother kept defending the father, saying what a wonderful man he was and that he hadn't harmed Kelsey. Attached her you will find direct quotes from Raye Dawn Smith/Porter's interview with the OSBI investigator, Mr. Garrett. This was two days after the murder of her daughter.

As you read these excepts of Raye Dawn Smith's interview, bear in mind this was two days after the murder of her two and half year old daughter, when only Raye Dawn Smith and Mike Porter, he husband were in the house with Kelsey. Is this the interview of a normal, non-guilty mother?

The following are quotes from Raye Dawn Smith's interview ,it is not the entire transcript which can be looked up on line.

_______________________________________________________________________

Ms. Porter: And, you know, so she jumped on that. And they took her back to the doctor after I had already took her to the doctor. And when they took her to the doctor, it was child abuse. So then Kathie wouldn't give her back.

Ms. Porter: I only took her to a doctor and they treated her for the clavicle, you know, and sent her home. They said how much—you know, everybody sees broken clavicles, you know. It's normal to see on little kids, you know, when they have accidents or whatever, that they see them all the time. And then when I gave her—sent her to Kathie, I explained that she jumped out of the bed and broke her collarbone. Well, when I go back to pick her up, they never meet me. And so I called Kathie and I said, "What's the deal?" And she said, "We're not giving her back to you."

Mr. Garrett: Was Michael there at the house when she fell out of the bed?

Ms. Porter: No, no And that was a big ordeal.

Mr. Garrett: What was a big ordeal?

Ms. Porter: That—that they kept asking about that, that Kathie was—you know, that he was probably there.

Mr. Garrett: Was she insinuating Michael hurt Kelsey?

Ms. Porter: They've been insinuating that from the beginning.

Mr. Garrett: So they think Michael was mean to her?

Ms. Porter: They have insinuated that from that beginning. And they don't even know—they don't know him. They don't know anything. But like I told—like my mom knew, I knew, whenever I –because I was single from the day Kelsey was born, even before that, up until I met Mike. So we knew that once I—you know, found somebody, something was going to happen, because it was okay for Kelsey to have a stepmom, but we knew it wasn't going to be okay for her to have a stepdad. We just knew that.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE AGENT: What did the doctor say as to how he thought the legs might have been broken? What did he say?

Ms. Porter: That's another deal. When I took her to the doctor and they said they were broken—

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE AGENT: Both legs, like in the same place? Broken how?

Mr. Garrett: Below the knee, didn't you say?

Ms. Porter: They said they were spiral.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE AGENT: Spiral?

Ms. Porter: But when I looked at them, they looked like little cracks. They weren't like broken in half or anything. They were just little cracks.

Mr. Garrett: Now, who was the judge? Was it the Lincoln County judge?

Ms. Porter: Judge Craig Key. And I have talked—I have talked to him. I think it was yesterday.

Mr. Garrett: What did you-guys talk about?

Ms. Porter: He was just—he was very upset and he told me how sorry he was. He said, "We tried normalcy with these people." He said, he said," I just realize now"—he said, "I realized," he said—how did he say it?–"not very long ago" or, you know, here in the past, he noticed "normalcy with these people wasn't going to happen."

Ms. Porter: And I've never seen him with her. I never saw him interact with her.

Mr. Garrett: Do you think Raymond (Note, Raymond is Lance Briggs) would hurt Kelsey physically?

Ms. Porter: I don't know.

Mr.Garrett: But he hasn't been around, apparently, for a long time.

Ms. Porter: Right.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE AGENT: I mean, hardly at all.

Mr. Garrett: But, obviously, she broke her collarbone and her legs sometime without him even being around.

Ms. Porter: Right.

Mr. Garrett: But you're worried that he might hurt her.

Ms. Porter: I just don't know. I don't want to answer that, because I don't know. I've never seen her with him.

Mr. Garrett: So you don't know if he would hurt her or not.

Ms. Porter: Right.

Mr. Garrett: Is there a chance that maybe whenever maybe she had an accident or whatever, you know, the urine or the feces or the poop deal, that maybe you busted her or something?

Ms. Porter: No, I didn't spank her?

Mr. Garrett: You didn't spank her for that?

Ms. Porter: No.

Mr. Garrett: Was—

Ms. Porter: God.

Mr. Garrett:--she crying or something when you were trying to go to sleep?

Ms.. Porter: No. She just laid beside me and we went to sleep.

Mr. Garrett: Well there had to be some—she had some really major trauma inside internally. So are you sure maybe she didn't do something that maybe got you upset and you busted her?

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE AGENT: Because you have to understand where we're coming from as far as the information that we're receiving from the medial examiner's office. And what they're saying is that she had trauma that was caused externally. So something happened. It wasn't the seizure, it wasn't an aneurysm, it wasn't anything like that. Something externally happened to her.

Ms.. Porter: I don't believe that.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE AGENT: Do you believe that we would lie to you?

Ms. Porter: I don't believe that..

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE AGENT: Because—

Mr. Garrett: Why do you not believe that? Were you worried about Lance coming back, Raymond? Was there something dealing with that that had you kind of stressed out?

Ms. Porter: No. I would never hurt my baby.

Mr. Garrett: Well, are you sure—

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE AGENT: You have to help us understand what happened.

Mr. Garrett: We want to know why. We just want to find out what happened.

Ms. Porter: I want to know why too. That's why—

Mr. Garrett: Was it just too much? Was it just too much for you with Raymond coming back and having to deal with all that crap again? Did that have something to do with what happened?

Ms. Porter: I was trying to protect her. I was trying so hard to protect her.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE AGENT: And I believe that. I believe that you thought—

Ms. Porter: I called everybody to—oh, my God.

Mr. Garrett: Did Michael say anything to you about what could have taken place from the time that you left to go get Whitney?

Ms. Porter: I'm in shock.. I'm sorry.

Mr. Garrett: Is there anything that you can think that maybe Michael said?

Ms. Porter: No.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE AGENT: There's nothing that you can think of that happened that Tuesday that could have—that would cause the medical examiner's office to say that Kelsey died of external injuries?

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE AGENT: Not from a seizure, not from, you know, like I said, any kind of aneurysm or anything like that. Something happened to her. And you've got to understand that we're trying to understand if there was anything that went on in that house that day that could cause these injuries to Kelsey. We're just trying to understand what happened. We're not trying to blame—I mean, I know that having to deal with Kathie and that whole family is extremely stressful. Kelsey is going through a lot of stress. You're going through a lot of stress. I'm sure it's putting a lot of stress on Michael and maybe you-guy's relationship, having to deal with everything that's coming from over there. You know, I have a 2 ½ year old. I know how stressful that can be. I know how demanding they can be. I know how tired you are.

Ms. Porter: She was a good, perfect daughter.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE AGENT: I believe that. But sometimes, you know—

Ms. Porter: There is not way ever, ever, ever I would have hurt her. She was my life. We were one person. And I—I cannot believe what you're telling me.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE AGENT: And our job is to—to find out what happened to Kelsey. I mean—and I can tell you I 100,000 percent sympathize with you. I can't imagine losing a child, but I know that, you know, something had to happen to her. And we're hoping that you're going to be able to tell us what happened to her.

Ms. Porter: That's what I told my mom. I said,"I want to know what was wrong with her." I had her checked from head to toe inside and out to find out.

Mr. Garrett: Do you ever sometimes maybe get upset and you don't remember or don't realize the that you could have maybe—

Ms. Porter: No, no.

Mr. Garrett: Did you maybe knee her or something or maybe squeeze her too hard or discipline her—

Ms. Porter: No.

Mr. Garrett:--over some of that stuff?

Ms. Porter: We had a—no.

Mr. Garrett: Because kids can be—I've got one that's five and Zae's got one. And they can sometimes really drive you crazy asking 200 questions every second, you know,"Mommy, what's this?""Mommy, what's that?" or "I want this,""I want that." You're tired, you're trying to get some sleep, you're pregnant, you don't feel good. I mean, is there maybe something that happened in there that you don't remember?

Mr. Porter: No.

Mr. Garrett: Or you do remember and you don't want to tell us?

Ms. Porter: No, no. I don't—I don't understand.

Mr. Garrett: Well, we're trying to make sense of what took place to go along with what happened, with what the M.E.'s office is saying happened to your daughter.

Ms. Porter: I want to know.

Mr. Garrett: But you do know. I mean, you ought to be able to tell us, because she's fine up until that point.

Ms. Porter: That's what I don't understand. She was fine.

Mr. Garrett: Did she ask a lot of questions? Is she one of those little girls or little child that was always asking stuff?

Ms. Porter: She new everything.

Mr. Garrett: She's two years old. I mean, you need to help us. We need to try to figure out what happened to her, how she could have had those internal injuries. Are you really upset?

Ms. Porter: How can you ask me that? I don't –I am in shock.

Mr. Garrett: Do you want to know how I can ask you that? I don't see a tear coming out of your face. There is not one drop. Look at me. There is not one drop.

Ms. Porter: I have cried and cried and cried. And I'm in shock, I'm upset, I'm mad. I don't understand.

Mr. Garrett: you wasn't crying Tuesday night.

Ms. Porter: Yes, I was.

Mr. Garrett: You're like you are right now.

Ms. Porter: I was in shock. That was my daughter.

Mr. Garrett: What happened to her? What happened? Can you tell us? Just please tell us what happened.

Ms. Porter: I told you-all the truth of everything. I'm in shock. I can't believe I'm sitting here hearing this.

Mr.. Garrett: Was there some kind of an injury that took place that she did? Or somebody else might have come over? Are you trying to protect somebody? What happened?

Ms. Porter: No, no, no. I don't know how to explain this.

Mr. Garrett: And we hate having to ask you these tough question, but we've got to find out why.

Ms. Porter I understand you-all are trying to help, and I begged people to help. And to tell the truth, right now, I am—I can't believe you're sitting her telling me this. I am in shock. I can't believe this.

Mr. Garrett: We have a tough job. I agree with that, don't you, Zae?

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE AGENT: Uh-huh.

Mr. Garrett: I mean, this is a tough job. Now, we don't much like this either, but we're trying to—we're working for Kelsey. We're trying to help Kelsey to try to figure out what took place.

Ms. Porter: And I—

Mr. Garrett And it's not every day that we get a chance to work for somebody that's two years old.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE AGENT: Raye, if you have a problem—listen to me. If you have a problem, like with your anger—and I want you to listen to me, in being able to control yourself. And from what I understand right now—are you pregnant again?

Ms. Porter:(The witness nodded her head.)

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE AGENT: You don't want to have to be in this position again. You need to get some help.

Ms. Porter: I—

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE AGENT: Let me finish. If you've got some kind of problem with your anger and being able to control that or whatever, you need to be able to—address that so you can get some help, if not for Kelsey then for the baby that's coming, okay, because something happened. Something happened, okay. Look at me. Something happened to Kelsey. She just didn't lay down on that bed and pass away, okay. Something happened, and you have to tell us what happened.

Ms. Porter: How can I tell you when I don't know?

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE AGENT: You were the only person that was there.

Ms. Porter: That's my baby.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE AGENT: I know that you love your baby, and I know that that was—

Ms. Porter: I do.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE AGENT: I know, but something happened.

Mr. Garrett: Nobody else was there but you. And you're telling us earlier that Michael couldn't have done anything like that.

Ms. Porter: There's no way.

Mr. Garrett: So if she was in bed sleeping when Michael came home and you left that way until the time you got back there—

Ms. Porter: And then he told me, he said he heard her grunting. He went in there.

Mr. Garrett: And you what that was about? That's because after the internal injury that she had. She didn't—the M.E.'s office said she didn't just die immediately. You know, she was probably suffering.

Ms. Porter: He said he brought her back. He said he brought her back.

Mr. Garrett: He brought her back where?

Ms. Porter: He said that he gave her CPR and he brought her back. And then she grabbed a hold of my mom.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE AGENT: Raye, listen to me. You're going to have to at some point—you're going to have to tell your mom what happened. You're going to have to tell Michael what happened.

Ms. Porter: I can't believe this.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE AGENT: Okay.

Ms. Porter: I cannot believe this. I cannot believe this.

Mr. Garrett: And I know this has got to be a whole lost of stress to have to live through, but you're going to have to—

Ms. Porter: I did not hurt my baby.

Mr. Garrett: Like Zae said, you've got another one coming on. And if Whitney is around the house and Michael Gage, I mean, if you get angry or something, we need to know about it.

Ms. Porter: That's not—oh, my God. I have never hurt my baby.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE AGENT: I don't think you meant to hurt her.

Mr. Garrett: I don't either.

Ms. Porter: I didn't hurt her.

Mr. Garrett: I agree with Zae. I don't think you meant to do it.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE AGENT: I don't think you meant to, Raye.

Mr. Garrett: And it probably didn't take but just a second.

Ms. Porter: I didn't hurt my baby.

Mr. Garrett: Little babies are so fragile.

Ms. Porter: You-all tell me that—

Mr. Garrett: They're just so fragile. It doesn't take a lot sometimes to hurt them. And whenever you get upset, I mean, it's just so quickly that sometimes you can lose your temper and things happen. And that's a normal thing. Everybody has problems like that.

Ms. Porter: What do I need to prove to you-all that I did not hurt my baby? What do I need to do? What do I need to do?

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE AGENT: Well, then, what do you think happened? Who do you think could have done this? I mean, we're being logical here.

Ms. Porter: How do you explain the grunting and the—what Mike explained to me and what he seen?

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE AGENT: Raye, that's because of the internal injuries that she had. She was suffering, okay.

Mr. Garrett: She didn't die immediately. I mean, she was hurting. And there's no way that she could have been laying in bed with you and not letting you know that she wasn't feeling good.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE AGENT: If there's another answer, Raye, help us find it, okay. You tell me what else could have happened. I mean, if you were with her that entire time from when she got up until you left her with Mike, then you explain to me what else could have happened to Kelsey. You explain how she could have sustained abdominal injuries.

Ms. Porter: I told everybody that I thought she had an ulcer—

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE AGENT: This is not an ulcer/

Ms. Porter:--because every now and then she would say her belly hurt.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE AGENT: Raye, look at me. Look at me. You are going to have to tell the truth.

Ms. Porter: I am telling you the truth. I swear to God. I put it on my daddy's grave.

Mr. Garrett: Her intestines were bleeding. She was hurt so bad that her intestines are bleeding. That's not from an ulcer.

Ms. Porter: Oh, my God. My baby.

Mr. Garrett: That's not from an ulcer, Raye. That is something you had to have done.

Ms. Porter: I did not hurt my baby.

Mr. Garrett: And we're not saying you did it intentionally.

Ms. Porter: I did not hurt my baby. I can't believe you're telling me this.

Mr. Garrett: We just need you to tell us what took place and why she got those injuries..

Ms. Porter: Can I please talk to my mom?

Mr. Garrett: Well, can you look at me and just tell me—

Ms. Porter: This is ridiculous.

Mr. Garrett: Is there any reason you can't tell us why—what took place?

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE AGENT: Who did you tell that she had an ulcer? Who did you tell?

Ms. Porter: I have told my mom I thought she had one; I've told Ms. Julie I thought she had one.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE AGENT: What made you think she had and ulcer?

Ms. Porter: Because of the way sometimes she would just go "Ow".

Mr. Garrett: Did she do that that day?

Ms. Porter: She said her belly hurt.

Mr. Garrett: Did she tell you Tuesday her belly hurt?

Ms. Porter: Yeah.

Mr. Garrett: When was that? Was it after Ms. Jean left?

Ms. Porter: No. It was—it was before.

Mr. Garrett: It was before Jean got there that she was telling you that her belly was hurting?

Ms. Porter: But she only said it—I think she only said it once.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE AGENT: What was she doing when she said her belly was hurt?

Ms. Porter: She was sitting on her bed.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE AGENT: Had she eaten yet?

Ms. Porter: Uh-uh. And that's—I cannot believe this. I'm in shock.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE AGENT: Just try to calm down.

Mr. Garrett: Did you give her any medicine for the stomach?

Ms. Porter. No

NOT a single tear!

About Kelsey Briggs. Lies, teisted facts and twisted legs


by Bill Bowen on Friday, August 13, 2010 at 9:56pm

Installment Two Lies and Twisted Facts and twisted legs. (Sorry for typos and grammatical mistakes. Too tired to edit them right now)

Once Little Kelsey Briggs has been murdered suspicion fell on the only two people who had been around Kelsey that day, as the CPS worker was never considered a suspect. Those two people were Raye Dawn Smith who was Kelsey's mother and Mike Porter who was Raye Dawn's new husband. Once little Kelsey was murdered, details of her time with her mother and in the legal custody of DHS/CPS started to come out. You see while Kelsey's real daddy had been in the Army, serving his country, it turns out that beautiful little girl, under two and half years of age at the time, had been undergoing some horrific physical torture at a minimum. Her little nose, while not broken was damaged. She had bruises on her face and if you look at those bruises it appears she was hit or somebody grabbed her tiny face and squeezed it hard. It was explained by her mother as, "Kelsey fell off the bed," or when her collar bones were broken, again it was explained that Kelsey had fallen off the bed. (That was a pretty dangerous bed for little Kelsey, I guess) Then it turned out her mother Raye Dawn took Kelsey to a clinic when she was having trouble walking and according to Raye Dawn Smith, they told her Kelsey has sprained he ankle or something. When Kelsey's paternal grandmother, Kathie Briggs had visitation with Kelsey she thought it might be something else and took Kelsey to hospital and both of little Kelsey's legs were broken, twisted until they broke, called spiral fractures. You really need to see what Kelsey's mother, Raye Dawn Smith said when the police investigator talked to her about both of those spiral fractures. Raye Dawn explanation of those spiral factures was strange coming from a mother and you need to compare Raye Dawn's explanation of those breaks, TO A MEDICAL DESCRIPTION. Here is a medical definition, "A spiral fracture is a type of bone fracture which is caused by a twisting force. You may also hear spiral fractures referred to as torsion fractures, in a reference to the forces involved to create a spiral fracture. Because the break is helical, it can be difficult to treat a spiral fracture, involving months in a cast and possible surgery, depending on the location of the break, the general health of the individual, and the specific circumstances involved in a fracture."

Here is Raye Dawn's explanation and description:

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE AGENT: What did the doctor say as to how he thought the legs might have been broken? What did he say?

Ms. Porter: That's another deal. When I took her to the doctor and they said they were broken—

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE AGENT: Both legs, like in the same place? Broken how?

Mr. Garrett: Below the knee, didn't you say?

Ms. Porter: They said they were spiral.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE AGENT: Spiral?

Ms. Porter: But when I looked at them, they looked like little cracks. They weren't like broken in half or anything. They were just little cracks.

( Writer's note: The compassion of this mother is quite underwhelming, "They weren't like broken in half or anything. They were just little cracks.")

Do you remember the medial definition? "A spiral fracture is a type of bone fracture which is caused by a twisting force. You may also hear spiral fractures referred to as torsion fractures, in a reference to the forces involved to create a spiral fracture. Because the break is helical, it can be difficult to treat a spiral fracture, involving months in a cast and possible surgery, depending on the location of the break, the general health of the individual, and the specific circumstances involved in a fracture."

Raye Dawn later explained that Kelsey had fallen out of her flip flops and that was what caused the spiral break. (Medical definition, again, ""A spiral fracture is a type of bone fracture which is caused by a twisting force. You may also hear spiral fractures referred to as torsion fractures, in a reference to the forces involved to create a spiral fracture. ." The two expert doctors said it was child abuse. The family court Judge hearing the matter, Judge Craig Key, who was to decide where to place Kelsey called somebody and made the statement not to worry that he was placing Kelsey BACK in the custody of her mother Raye Dawn and that was two days before he was set to hear the case. We shall pause here while I proclaim, "O.....M....G!" Then Judge, Craig Key by name placed Kelsey back with the same mother Kelsey was living with when she suffered those injuries. (Have you ever gotten the feeling that family court is a joke with decisions made up days before your hearing? Well, looks like you were right.)

Raye Dawn claims she was taking a nap with Kelsey the day Kelsey was murdered and that she got up and took Mike's car and went to get his biological daughter at school. Mike Porter was then alone with Kelsey.

The reason I am going over these portions with you is because of the way the not very good and highly unsuccessful writer, in my opinion, who is attacking Kelsey's grandmother and father and proclaiming that Raye Dawn is innocent, seems to me to like to play fast and loose with these easily provable facts.

When I was contacted by this Jody Ortiz person, it turns out she claimed to be the ghost writer of the book supposedly by Judge Craig Key, the same family court judge who placed Kelsey back with the mother even after all of the abuse Kelsey's grandmother and father, plus others kept bringing to the attention of that court and to DHS, who according the Kelsey's grandmother seemed not to really care and who didn'y do anything. Raye Dawn wanted Kelsey back with her. Kathie Briggs was begging that family court judge not to do that because they feared by the time Lance got home Kelsey would be dead. It turns out they were right. After Kelsey's murder Kathie Briggs walked door to door to every house in that town and told Kelsey's story and showed the evidence, which had been shown to family court Judge Craig Key BEFORE he placed Kelsey back into the home, where she sustained more torture than most adults ever received and where she was ultimately murdered.

The people back there voted Craig Key off the bench as fast as they could and it seems he is requarded as a scum bag by a number of those town members, as someone who had the evicence and could have saved Kelsey. To this day he justifies why he put Kelsey back with Raye Dawn and MIke Porter, you know, where Kelsey was tourtured, probably sexually abused, jerked by her arm, spanked and beaten, had her collar bones broken, head smashed up against a wall and was finally struck or kicked to death after having her legs twisted until the broke, BOTH OF THEM claimed she didn't know anything about that abuse. Kelsey also had bruises around and in her anus and you figure that one out. Uh huh, suuuure. From his statement Judge Key didn't like the Brigg's and so he made them wrong an gave Kelsey back to the very person who killed her and the person who stood by and did nothing. BOY! Did Judge Key make them wrong! Their innocent baby daughter and granddaughter was taken away from them forever, not legally but she was painfully and brutally mordered. Good going Key, you scum sucking douche bag! sorry, I promised myself I was going to get emotional involed. BY the way, something Jody Ortiz never eveals is when she talks about the doctor that Raye Dawn Smith called to testify about Kelsey's legs and who I believ minimised that at great length, just so happens to be the brother of the very same lawyer that was representing, GUESS WHO? Thast's right, Raye Dawn Smith. Neat isn't it.

Not content with the hurt he had already caused, EX family Court Judge Craig Key then decided to write a book to clear his name. (Good money in writing you know, right your horror) According to Jody Ortiz in her emails to me she was actually the ghost writer of Judge Key's book. The book seems to me to have been a dismal failure and it is hard to find even on the dollar table at Wal Mart. It's seems not many people had any more sympathy for family court Judge Craig Key than he had for 2 ½ year old Kelsey Briggs. It's curious that Ex Judge Key, in his book, says he felt so bad after the people in Oklahoma threw him off the bench that started going out into his pasture and talking to his cows. Well, that makes sense and let's just hope Ex Judge Craig Key treats the cows that he now talks to better than he did little two year old Kelsey Briggs. Again, I need to stop and go, "O.....M....G!"

If you are a parent or grandparent or you just love children and watching them brings you that certain glow just knowing how utterly filed with wonder and life they can be, read this part of the transcript of Raye Dawn Smith again and see how that compares with the feeling that any mother would have about hearing that her daughter had just been murdered, The Tuesday night being discussed was the night Kelsey succumbed to the injuries she sustained in the home of her mother who was there and her step father who was there and who plead guilty to Endangering a child and accepted thirty years in prison and has to serve 80% of that time. BTW, since Mike Porter was charged with murder and sexually abusing Kelsey and the charges were reduced, even with new evidence he could not be charged with murder in the case of little Kelsey because that would be Double Jeopardy. (What kind of Jepardy would that be for Kelsey? Hmmm....) Mike Porter could say anything and not be charged with murder. He is already facing a virtual life sentence behind bars and so is Raye Dawn Smith. In her interview, Raye Dawn made the following statement:

"Ms. Porter: No, I didn't spank her?" Yet at the trial of Raye Dawn Smith a man with no connection to either family with no incentive testified that he had witnessed Raye Dawn pulling Kelsey out of a convience store by the arm while striking her on the back and buttocks area, then throw Kelsey into the back seat of the car. Again, at her trial Mike Porter admitted he had lied under oath and had seen Raye Dawn holding Kelsey on her lap with her leg over Kelsey, striking Kelsey with her fist. So much for "I didn't spank her."

In March of 2010 I was contact by Jody Ortiz who stated she wanted to show evidence to me and I said fine. She sent me a video of a very disturbed woman who was threatening on camera to kill herself and blaming many others for the fact that she was going to kill herself. I never heard her say anything about the Briggs or Smiths, nor Kelsey during the part of that video I watched only part of it because it was clear to me the woman seemed unbalanced in the extreme. Jody Ortiz also made the following statements to me:

1. That Mike Porter had never confessed. I pointed out that he was sentenced to thirty years in prison for Enabling Child Endangerment and that meant he had either confessed of been convicted and sentenced because they could not have sentenced him without one or the other. Jody never answered back to that.

Jody claimed that Raye Dawn had cried during her over one hour interview just two days after the murder of her child, yet you will remember that the investigator said,

Mr. Garrett: Do you want to know how I can ask you that? I don't see a tear coming out of your face. There is not one drop. Look at me. There is not one drop.

Mr. Garrett: you wasn't crying Tuesday night.

Ms. Porter: Yes, I was.

Mr. Garrett: You're like you are right now.

So much for crying and tears over her murdered daughter.

I sent the entire link to the site that contains the transcript of Raye Dawn's interview to Jody who responded by telling me I wasn't supposed to have a copy of that transcript because it was confidential. It is not and I told Jody that. Her response to me in writing was, " I thought you were more intelligent." Nope I just know a murder when I see one, of course I do have sove some background training in law enforcement.

I pointed out to Jody Ortiz that I was open to looking at any facts, but not people's opinions or feelings as that is not evidence and I blocked her from my Face Book account when I received nothing back from her.

When you look at Jody Otriz's biography on the numerous websites she had up, all of which promote how Raye Dawn is innocent. On those sites, depending which of them you visit it stated that Jody is a writer that has ghost written 75 books, yet on another site she claims she has ghost written over 100 books. The nice thing about being a ghost writer is your name is not on the book, so it is hard to establish such a claim. Besides her claim that poor Raye Dawn is innocent, she basically seems to spend most of her time trying to convince the not too bright that Raye Dawn is innocent, yet after Jody attacked Lance Briggs for having been committed to a mental institution, which is not true and when I asked her about the fact that Raye Dawn had been found by the police in Oklahoma passed out with the motor of her car running in the middle of a four way intersection and Jody denied that and said it was made up by Kathie Briggs, I sent her the presentencing report in which that exact incident is listed and it was discussed with Raye Dawn. So much for depending on honesty from Jody Ortiz.

Ortiz and friends to this day, five years later continue to put up websites that do two things, although she maintains her organization rying to get innocent people off, the only person she is trying to get out of prison is the convicted natural mother of Kelsey Briggs. He blog stabs at the heart of the Briggs family and when she posts somehow in the back ground is her new, on again, off again new book. Ortiz claims she is donating portion of her book proceeds to charity, but she won't say to which charity nor what percentage she is going to donate. Jody Ortiz shows a pretty bad picture of herself and she is not an attractive woman, but she claims she is in the condition she is in today because she is being cyber stocked by friends of the Briggs family. The picture of Ortiz appears to be when she was maybe in early twenties, The shot of her with her chickens was dated 2007 and she looked pretty bad even then beofre she really started getting on the attack on Lance and Kathie Briggs. That is just my opinion you can decide for yourself. That means if you look at the 2007 piccture just how old is the picture she uses on Face book? Pretty old would be muy opinion. Otiz continues to attack two people who were not around when Kelsey was murdered, both Kathie and Lance Briggs. Otr the attacks ontinue against others who respect Kathie and Lance Briggs because they have effected more changes in the laws in Oklahoma than anyone I have ever known or heard of doing in other states and those laws protect all of the children in that state. Read one of Ortiz's or one of her very few followers attack the Briggs and when they read the lies and half truth, in my opinion, they post back, which Ortiz now calls it cyber stalking and tries to pass herself off as a victim. First thing is she offer no facts and she won't debate the fact tht Raye Dawn was in the house the day when Kelsey was murdered. SHe claims Raye Dawn would have to know if Mike Porter was slapping and hitting her baby girl, breaking the bones and sexually molesting her. That excuse didn't work for DHS in the civil trial briought by Lance and he collected two-thirds of a million dollars and forced changes in the state laws. DHS got nailed for failure to protect and they only came to the house weekly or bi weekly to visit with and see Kelsy. She was Raye Dawn's daughter and Raye Dawn changed her diapers, her clothes, bathed her and Raye Dawn saw no brusiing, nothing with all of that abuse going on to her baby? If you are a mother, please post and say how likely you think that is? Since the jury only took about two hours to find Raye Sawn guity I waould conclude they agrree with that most of you are thinking right now and that jury recomended the full 27 years for THE FOUND GUILY AND CONVICED MOTHER.

Jody Otiz's new theory is that Mike Porter, Kathie Briggs, Lance Briggs, all the jurors that convicted Raye Dawn, the judge in that case and the District Attorney all conspired together to convict poor old innocent Raye Dawn and by golly Jody Ortiz just happens to want a write a book about that and make herself famous and finally make some money. I believe Ortiz earned well under $25K last year which is below the poverty level. Ortiz claims she use to have fifteen familied dependant on her for support that all lived in Mexico and blames Kathie Briggs for the failure of her ability to provide for those families. Now, call me paranoid and after all I was a United States Border Patrol agent, but is Jody talking about he fact that she was hiring illegal aliens to work for minimum wage or less and it is true illegal aliens do sent a lot of the money they earn here back home to their families and of course they pay no income taxes. If that is what she is talking about then it wasn't her supporting those families it was us, the US taxpayers that were paying for that one. I don't know, as I said, but if Jody was hiring illegal aliens she was breaking federal laws and that makes her a cr-----, well, I am not an attorney and can't say that, so I won't. Besides, you can make up your own mind about that.

When Jody Ortiz says her car is shot full of holes and has been keyed by the friends of Kathie, I asked her why she didn't notify the police as they are the ones who investigate such crimes. Jody claimed the police wouldn't do anything because they were in on the conspiracy with the Briggs, BTW, if you are thinking the Briggs are a wealthy family in that town in Oklahoma you should know that Kathie Briggs and her husband live in a mobile home and there is nothing wrong with that, however if you envision them living in a mansion, driving a Mercedes and throwing cash at officials in their town, that just isn't so. Jody Ortiz knows that Kathie Briggs wasn't around Kelsey for a long time before Kelsey was murdered, just as Raye Dawn Stated in her interview, Lance Briggs, Kelsey's daddy, only landed back in the United State within hours of the murder of his baby girl and his mother was forced to tell him over the phone in another state that his welcome home from the war was his baby had been killed. Then we have Mike Porter and Raye Dawn and remember Raye Dawn was not charged with murder, she was convicted of enabling child abuse leading to the injury of a child. After Mike Porter and Raye Dawn turned on each other as criminals often do there were plenty of discloses about the abuse Kelsey underwent and that means the other one knew. The day Kelsey was murdered only Porter and Raye Dawn were in the house meaning one of them killed her and the other Enabled the endangerment of child. The real question isn't whether or not Raye Dawn murdered her own little girl but rather if she did participate in the abuse of Kelsey or did she KNOW Kelsey was being abused and it took a jury only two hours to find her guilty and recommend that she receive 27 years in prison , which she did. Jody Ortiz had chosen to go after Lance and Kathie Briggs while proclaiming the innocence of woman who has admitted to driving after drinking with Kelsey in the car ten times or so. A woman seen beating Kelsey and throwing her into the back seat of a car. Jody Ortiz also shows a current picture of herself on her blog and complains that it is what she looks like now and it is LAnce an dKathie Briggs fault rather than the Twinkies she may be eating by the box full. Then she shows a picture that appears to be about twenty years ago and says that is what she used to look like before all of this started to take it's toll on her. It's funny because I have newspaper clipping of her from 2007 and she looks as bad then as she does now. Ortiz blames Kathie Briggs for her degraded appearance now. Ortiz says because of Kathie Briggs she developed a writer's block that lasted two years. Riiiiiiiight!

We have to decide about this Jody Ortiz and whether or not she needs to be shunned and made an outcast or believe she needs to be followed and looked up to. For me it's an easy choice.

Today Lance Briggs lives in Oklahoma and he recently finished clearing ten acres of land and is building a nice but modest home on it. He also helped purchase and build the same type of modest but nice home for his parents who have been through so much. Let me put it in perspective each of those homes cost in total what my house payment in Los Angeles was for four months. Lance sued DHS in Oklahoma and others and he settled for a fair amount and demanded sweeping changes in the laws of Oklahoma as regards the way children are treated by DHS and the right's of parents. Something few other people have been able to do. I would also say that it answers any question about whether or not Lance cared more about protecting chidren or his own fortunes and the same is true of Kathie Briggs. Perhaps Jody Ortiz will be more generous with the proceeds of her book. I challenge her to produce records of what donations she make with the money she made as the ghost Rider on Judge Key's Book.

Regarding Raye Dawn, after Lance fought and won against the DHS meat grinder in Oklahoma then Raye Dawn sued to collect half of that money Lance received in that case but of course never offered to donate any of what she was suing for to any charity except the free Raye Dawn organiztion. and she lost that case. Produce those records Jody of what you donated from the fabulously successful other books you have "ghost written" and ezpecially the book you ghost wrote for Judge key. How much did you generously donate to child abuse awareness, hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm? Also, stop demanding Lance give every penny he won to a charity you name?? I need to take a little break here for another "O......M......G!"

Kathie Briggs has helped create many Foundations that promote awareness of the public towards child abuse, She started Kelsey Bears which are Teddy Bears given to small children who are traumatized. Help start Kelseyspurpose.og and Ralleys that also promote awareness of child abuse and sponsors a ten K run. Events in Kelsey's honor are held each year all over the country. She speaks to the legislature.

Jody Ortiz is still trying to promote her book, showing up with a few of her supporters at an event this year, which bore Kelsey's name and while there tried to attack Kathie Briggs, promote Jody's book and cause a disruption in the activities designed to promote awareness of stopping child abuse. Jody Ortiz also demanded that the ralley not be held in Kelsey's name, thus ensuring nobody would remember little Kelsey. Of course they ignored her which proves to me that people are not as dumb as they look sometimes and have you seen that real ugly picture of Jody? Well, ugly in my opinion.

It's been five years since Kelsey's murder and nobody has even been charged with that murder. There is a book, "Who Killed Kelsey" that will give anyone seeking information of the Kelsey Briggs story a lot more information.

About Kelsey Briggs Kathie Briggs speach to the OK legislature

About Kelsey Installment three

Speech Given by Kathie Briggs at Oklahoma Capital

"After nine months of documented abuse we lost our precious Kelsey at the age of two years, nine months, and thirteen days. Her cause of death was blunt force trauma to the abdomen. Her stepfather, Michael Porter, sits in the Lincoln County jail on the charge of first-degree murder. Kelsey' s death could have and should have been prevented. When my son was called to active duty, he left behind a happy, healthy little girl. She was living with her mother and while he was gone we had received his visitation.

The abuse began in January with a broken clavicle, twenty-nine bruises and multiple abrasions. The ER documented this as possible abuse and contacted our Meeker police department. After their investigation, they concluded it was a toddler accident and returned Kelsey to her mother. This was the beginning of many moments of outrage towards someone who could have and should have helped. We hired an attorney and received legal guardianship on January 24th.

It was never our intention to keep Kelsey from her mother indefinitely, but to take whatever steps necessary to keep her safe. We were told by the DHS caseworker that our job was to work with the mother and to work toward reunification. Kelsey's mother received weekend visits, supervised by her, mother for one month. After the next court hearing she received unsupervised visits each weekend and one day during the week. She was ordered to attend Parenting Classes, Anger Management, and Alcohol Assessment.

We were also concerned with the new boyfriend and asked that he not be present during these visits. Kelsey was returned to me several times with bruises. DHS was contacted and documentation was always kept. One worker felt supervised visits were still needed, but did not take steps towards making this happen. That same worker later told me to stop calling unless I knew for sure it was abuse. In March I took Kelsey to the ER after she was returned to me with a swollen and blue nose. The following morning when I called the same worker, once again I was scolded, for not calling the night before.

On April 4th, my son returned home for his last visit before deploying over seas. He stayed until the morning of April 11th. This was the last time he saw Kelsey. He left behind a little girl who adored her father, who knew he was a soldier and that her Daddy was in the Army. Kelsey' s mother was upset that her visit was interrupted with Lance's leave and wanted the time made up. I contacted DHS for advice, but did not receive a definite answer. I had not received a copy of the court order and my attorney was out of the office, so trying to work with the mother I chose to let her make up her missed visit; a decision that later came back to haunt me.

On April 14th, Kelsey was returned with a sprained ankle. Her explanation once again was plausible and collaborated. However, given the history of our situation DHS was once again called and this time I was scolded for calling. On April 18th , the mother and boyfriend married. The mother and I decided together that going back and forth every two days was too much for Kelsey and we switched one day. That was the weekend when Kelsey's legs were broken. The mother took Kelsey to the DHS five days after receiving her from me to say I had hurt Kelsey. They instructed her to take Kelsey to the doctor. The doctor Kelsey had been seeing during this time was later discovered to be the sister of the attorney retained by Kelsey's mother. She and her colleague concluded the sprained ankle was misdiagnosed and was actually broken and the other leg was a stress fracture due to over compensation. No abuse was suspected and I did not think otherwise. Kelsey was put in full casts, which she referred to as her socks. It was pointed out to me that a second opinion should be sought to check for abnormal growth plates. An appointment was made at the OU Physicians Clinic for May 2th . I was shocked and horrified when the doctor diagnosed the broken legs as abuse. I called DHS with his report. Since the mother had pointed her finger to me, they had to investigate and put Kelsey into DHS custody. This is also the day my son landed in Kuwait to begin his service in Operation Iraqi Freedom.

Kelsey was placed with the maternal grandmother. Calls were made on our behalf to many officials for help. BACA, (Bikers Against Child Abuse) was called. They stated DHS was correct in keeping her away from our home, all without talking to us. We thought this organization was there to help and they let us down and ultimately let Kelsey down. The Governor was also contacted. I knew he would help, after all he and Kelsey were members of the same family. We were referred to Howard Hendrick, the state director of DHS. He referred us to other workers. Our pleas were ignored and we became very untrusting of the people who should have and could have helped.

At the next court hearing the mother, my husband, and myself were given four hours supervised visitation each week at the Lincoln County Office. We left court that day for our first visit and immediately the stepfather was allowed in. We questioned this, but they allowed it anyway. These visits went on for one month until a court hearing on June 14th. At that time witnesses were called in one by one to testify. The Court Appointed Special Advocate, known as CASA, testified as well. She stated she had interviewed her own sister who worked with this mother. When questioned as to whether or not she interviewed anyone from our family she stated she only dealt with parents and that Lance was allegedly in the Army and she could not locate him. She recommended Kelsey be returned to the mother and that we get one hour supervised visitation per month and that Lance should get the same when he returned. At the end of the hearings, Judge Craig Key ruled that he could not determine who hurt Kelsey and she should be returned to the mother with no visitation with our family. We could not believe his decision. As hard as it would have been we would rather have seen Kelsey go to foster care than to be returned to her mother's care. The day of court we received a copy of the DHS report and found our son listed as an alleged perpetrator. How could he be, he was not even in the state? I set out once again to contact any and everyone.

No one listened when I was only talking about abuse of a small child, but maybe if they know a soldier fighting for our country has been falsely accused they would help. So I sat at my computer night after night writing my story over and over again. I went to our Oklahoma State web site and wrote a letter to every State Representative, every Congressman, the Attorney General, the Lt. Governor, our Senators and many more. I received replies from Kris Steele and Gus Blackwell. Kris Steele, from Shawnee, gave us the number for OCCY. They contacted us on several occasions, but could not offer a different solution. I began writing the media and once again no one was interested in this story. Time went on without visits with Kelsey. Finally in August my daughter-in-law, Ashley, was contacted by DHS to tell her she could have a two hour supervised visit with Kelsey in their office. She was excited to finally have some contact with her. After two visits another court hearing was set. It was determined Ashley could receive a five hour unsupervised visit every other Saturday. They also requested she participate in a service plan. This was great news to our family. The morning of the visit Ashley was called by the DHS worker and informed that Kelsey had been in a car accident and the visit was cancelled. The accident was minor; Kelsey was taken to the ER at the request of the DHS worker for precautionary measures, but because the wait was too long, the mother left. We were told her stomach was sore due to the car seat, but Kelsey was otherwise fine. The visit was rescheduled for the following Saturday, August 27th . We were once again excited and anxious to see Miss Kelsey.

I planned on taking video to send to her Daddy and I wanted to take a picture of all seven of my grandchildren together. When we arrived, we could not believe what we saw. Kelsey had lost weight, there was bruising on the side of her face and down her left arm, she had retinal hemorrhaging, and appeared heavily medicated. I called my daughter and told her not to bring the other children, for fear it might be too much for her. I took video, but did not want my son to see how bad she looked while so far away. She remembered us, but she was not the Kelsey we had known. We watched her swing, something that had always made her happy. This time she had lost the spark that had once been there. We knew something wrong, but did not know what. When we left her that day we did not know it would be our last visit with this precious child.

We started making calls that night, looking for answers. I contacted the DHS county director on Monday asking what was wrong with Kelsey. I stated her condition was declining and if someone did not do something she may not be here when her father returned. I was told they noticed the changes. My Aunt went to the Pott. County office on August 29th and asked them to open a new investigation. They did not act on her concerns. It was determined the bruises and retinal hemorrhaging could have been caused by the accident eight days before. We were told she was having seizures and needed tests. After this visit, Dr. Koons, the pediatrician in Shawnee, wrote Judge Key and recommended that the visits be stopped. I remind you once again she is the sister of the attorney representing the mother. She felt only the mother, in case of a seizure, should monitor Kelsey. An emergency hearing was set. Before this hearing my daughter-in-law informed my son she wanted a divorce. From that day forward we lost any contact with Kelsey. As grandparents, we did not have rights.

My son had been injured in a truck accident in Iraq and with the news of his divorce, he was allowed to return home one month early. He was only able to keep his spirits up with the thought of seeing Kelsey. He contacted DHS to let them know he was returning. Arrangements had been made for Kelsey to be at the airport. This was to be a big moment for us. On October 11th, I received a call from a friend that Kelsey had been taken to the hospital. I contacted the CASA worker and asked her to check on the situation. I called her again and she told me Kelsey had a seizure and she would call me back. She never did.

We heard from a friend at the hospital that Kelsey had died. My son called thirty minutes later from Ft. Benning, Georgia, and I had to give him the news that would change his life forever. Our family was never contacted by DHS. They did not make any effort to call the Red Cross to notify my son that his only child was gone. We made the calls necessary and got Lance home that night. A few days later we got the news; Kelsey's death was listed as a homicide.

How could this have happened? So many people were allegedly watching over her. Not a week went by that our family was not contacting someone for help. Not a week went by that we were once again ignored. The day after Kelsey died everyone wanted to talk to us. Pott. County DHS called and wanted us to come in so they could open an investigation, but it was too little too late. So many people could have made a difference and they chose not to. People in the business of helping abused children ignored this child, but maybe because they let Kelsey down they will listen when the next child cries for help.

When Kelsey was born months after her parents were divorced I knew she must have a purpose and I wondered what it was. When my son was sent to war, I feared he was not coming home and her purpose was for him to live on through her. Lance came home and Kelsey was the one who did not make it. That is when I knew her purpose; it is to send a message for change in our state and to save other children. We need new laws; we need an agency with authority over DHS. Grandparents need rights to fight for these children when their parents are not capable of making good decisions.

While my son was at war trying to protect the rights of another country, his own rights and those of his child were violated. This tragedy that could have been prevented has forever devastated our family. We did everything we knew to do within the law. Many failed Kelsey. Our elected officials could have and should

have taken action when they heard our cries. If we do not have their attention now they should not be re-elected. I ask each of you to take the time to write or call your state officials and ask them what they intend to do to help the helpless in our state. It is too late to save Kelsey, but there are hundreds of children in homes today with broken bones and bruises that were not accidents. Not only should the perpetrator be held accountable, but everyone who had knowledge of the abuse and those who failed to help."
