    Let's continue along where we left off and piece

    together a tale of corruption, murder and organized

    crime.

    II: Michelle Brizendine

    It is true that I ran into Michelle on two subsequent

    occasions, once in 1995 at a tanning salon and once

    in 1996 at a bar, the Looney Tunes Saloon. On the

    first of these occasions, at the salon, Michelle was

    visibly pregnant and when I commented on this, shehastened to inform me that the child she was carryin

    was conceived by her with a man she was planning

    to marry, that the child was not mine, and that I

    should give it no further thought. On the second

    occasion, at the Looney Tunes Saloon, Michelle had

    given birth to her child. She said that she and the

    child were living with the childs father, that she

    intended to marry him, and that she was moving to

    Indiana

    I now know that Madison Brizendene was born toMichelle Brizendine on April 24, 1996. I do not know

    who Madisons birth certificate names as her father.

    do now know that, sometime in 1996, Michelle

    Brizendine gave my name as the childs father in

    order to get a medical card.

    The Civil Summons which would not be served to me

    until April 26, 2007 was signed on November 11,

    1997. In November 1997 I was living in Lexington on

    Snow Road. I was not difficult to find. However, as I

    now know, Michelle Brizendine and her daughter

    Madison had left the state: on October 31, 2007

    Michelle told my mother and my brother that she live

    in Indiana from the end of 1997 until the end of

    2001. I now know that, after Michelle and her then

    husband (whoever he was) divorced, Michelle,

    Madison, and Michelles younger daughter returned

    to Lexington. By that time, however, by December

    2001, I had left Kentucky. I did not move back to

    Lexington until November 2004 when my mothers

    circumstances and a desire to help her in caring for

    my brother Brandon brought me back to share her

    home. I did not know in 1997, in 2001, or in 2004, in

    fact, I did not know until April 26, 2007 that it was

    claimed by anyone that I was a father. Only today,

    November 6, 2007, have I been able to extract from

    the County Attorney the date that is written on his

    scrap of paper; it is now claimed, with no evidence

    whatsoever on the document itself, that an attempt

    was made to serve me with the Civil Summons 17

    July 2000 (see below p.11 ). Finally, my mother will

    swear that no one at any time prior to April 26, 2007

    made any attempt to contact me through her

    concerning either Michelle or Madison Brizendine.

    III: The DNA Tests

    The DNA tests were done on June 28, 2007. The

    report was stamped by the lab on July 6, 2007.

    Presumably Byron Ockerman received them shortly

    thereafter. However, he did not forward them to my

    attorney until October 1, 2007, and it was at this late

    date, with this short notice that he informed her of his

    intention to seek the Summary Judgement which Ms

    Scott rightly called devastating.

    If these DNA tests are accepted, then I am the father

    of Madison Brizendine. However, if I am the father o

    Madison Brizendine, then I have every right to befurious that I was not informed of that fact prior to or

    at the time of her birth. Not only would I have had an

    opportunity to spend some time with her and be of

    some influence on her in her most formative years,

    but also I would have been afforded the chance to pu

    the child on my insurance, hence eliminating the

    need for a medical card in the first place.

    me that another man was the father of her child, and

    by the end of 1997 she had left the Commonwealth o

    Kentucky, and moved with her man and her daughte

    to Indiana where she raised the child as his.

    On June 28, 2007, in the presence of the DNA nurse

    Michelle told me that she had never asked for and

    had never received child support for Madison, that,

    even now she was not asking for it. Michelle saidthat she had been surprised when she received a

    copy of the summons to me dated November 11,

    2007. She couldn't understand why she was even

    being asked to take a DNA test. She had never

    requested any of this. She wanted to raise Madison

    on her own.

    When I told Michelle what I believed the County

    Attorney was intent on achieving, she told me not to

    worry because they couldn't ask for what they hadntpaid her..

    On October 2, 2007 Jenny Scott wrote a letter to

    Michelle Brizendine requesting a meeting about how

    the city is acting in this case. By the end of the

    month Scott told me that she had heard nothing from

    Michelle in answer to her request.. On October 30,

    2007 my mother, Jane Hignite, and my brother, Cory

    Hignite, went to see Michelle where she, Madison

    and a younger daughter now live, with her parentshere in Lexington. They were greeted cordially.

    Michelle was not at home, but her father encouraged

    my mother to speak with her on the phone and a

    meeting between them was arranged for the evening

    of the following day, October 31, 2007. .

    At that meeting, the meeting of October 31, 2007,

    Michelle Brizendine made several quite significant

    statements.

    First, in answer to my mothers query about

    Michelles (non-) response to Jenny Scotts letter to

    her, Michelle stated: I didn't even get anything today

    I had my dad open my mail yesterday after I got off

    the phone with you. I don't have anything in the mail.

    Second, with regard to the summons and to the

    forthcoming court hearing, Michelle reiterated to

    mother and to my brother some of what she had told

    me in person on June 28. You know, every time

  • 8/8/2019 Bluegrass Conspiracy Scratch a Child Support Case and Solve Murder Part 2

    4/6

    through the years, they send, they've sent me

    papers, like, every year. They always ask me if I

    know anything about him, his whereabouts or

    anything else and I always put, I don't know. Cuz, I

    don't know. Michelle had run into my brother Cory

    earlier this summer, once at Gatti-town, once, in July

    at the Southland swimming pool. Did I ever ask

    you? she said. Cory said No. Michelle continued:

    Did I ever one time ask you? Did I say, because if I

    knew, I would feel like I had to tell them, does that

    make sense? So, I never asked. I've never one time

    asked him. Well, where is he livin' or where is he

    workin'. I've never asked anything because I knew if

    asked I'd feel like when they sent that paper again, I'

    have to put it on there.

    Third, when my mother apprised Michelle of the

    conditions which Byron Ockerman was asking the

    Judge to enforce, Michelle expressed shock: Did he

    [Chris] piss somebody off? If he's pissed somebody

    off down there, then, there ain't nuthin' I can do.

    There ain't nuthin' nobody can do. Considering the

    matter yet again, Michelle concluded as follows;

    Well, it sounds like this really doesn't have anything

    to do with me or Madison ... is what it sounds like. It

    sounds like they found something they could screw

    him on and they're gonna try to do it.

    Fourth, Michelle Brizendine divulged to my mother

    and to my brother that she herself felt threatened by

    the authorities. During the preceding week she had

    been called by the County Attorneys Office and told

    by her case worker that some discrepancies had

    been found in the day-care payments that were being

    made, not for Madison Brizendine, but for Michelles

    little one, her younger daughter. This child attends

    a day-care in Lexington on some days of the week

    and a different day-care in Morehead, KY on other

    days of the week; the Cabinet for Families and

    Children had been paying each day-care for a full

    weeks services; they now wanted their money back;

    and, Michelle said, they did not intend to seek it from

    the day-cares, but were demanding it from Michelle

    herself. Michelles case worker set up a meeting wit

    her, a meeting that was to take place the very next

    day, the same day that Byron Ockerman would seek

    a Summary judgement against me. Michelle said: to

    my mother I owe them $2600, so tomorrow I'm goin

    to pick up the papers from my work and I'm gonna si

    down with the supervisor and I've called Frankfort, I

    mean I've called everywhere. If I'm lucky, I can get it

    cut in half. If I'm lucky.

    IV: Purged Summons

    On May 1, 2007, when my mother and I first visited

    with Jenny Scott and when we hired her to representme, I had already explained to her that my case migh

    not be routine. I believed the County Attorneys office

    had been harassing me and filing false claims for

    years in order to destroy my credibility and break my

    will. She told me that Michelle Brizendine was not

    pursuing the matter. She told me that, to the best of

    her knowledge all summons and warrants this old

    had been purged. She did grant, however, that its

    really strange that a ten year old case, not being

    pursued by the mother, would just appear onsomeones desk one day.

    Ms. Scott called down to juvenile court. The lady

    there agreed that the serving of a 10 year old

    summons was strange; she suggested that perhaps

    there had been some mistake; she felt that most

    likely we had nothing to worry about. However, she

    also felt we should contact Byron Ockerman, We did

    just that. Ms Scott called Byron Ockerman and put

    him on speaker phone so that my mother and I couldhear what he had to say. Ockerman told Scott that

    he knew the file she was talking about. Oh, said my

    attorney, well, this man is disabled and only works on

    and off. Additionally, the mother has made no

    attempt to pursue this matter. Shouldnt we just set

    this aside? This could destroy this mans life. Byron

    replied No, I dont think I will. Now that it has been

    served I think Ill have some fun with this. My

    attorney told him that I had no means to pay what

    Ockerman was demanding and that it would bedevastating to me. Ockerman laughed. I know ,

    he said, See you in court

    .

    V: Margaret Kannensohn and Byron Ockerman

    In 1996 and again in 1997 Michelle Brizendine did no

    want me to know that she thought I was the father of

    her child. In fact, she explicitly denied to me that

    paternity. And in so doing, she denied to me the righ

  • 8/8/2019 Bluegrass Conspiracy Scratch a Child Support Case and Solve Murder Part 2

    6/6

    to be a father. Michelle Brizendine had no hand, she

    says, in filing a complaint (by Kannensohn,

    Ockerman et al.) and no knowledge of any warrant

    issued against me.

    Why then was a complaint filed? Why was a warran

    issued at all? Why is there on the document itself,

    even today, no proof whatsoever, either that any

    attempt was ever made to serve it or that it was (afteten years) served at all? Why is it that the original of

    my copy of the warrant was at some time, by some

    one dated by hand in the upper right hand corner 07

    17-06, only a month before Margaret Kannensohn

    surprised the Lexington Herald-Leader by

    announcing that she was retiring as County Attorney

    five months before the expiration of her term of

    office. And why has Byron Ockerman, Margaret

    Kassensohns assistant in 1997, pursued with such

    vigor a file that, like its fellows, should have seen the

    trash after 3 years. (Rhodes, Mary, Kentucky

    Automated Support and Enforcement System

    Guidelines, p.7.)
