Catching the con man

Dear Pastor,

I wrote a message to you previously asking for other women to contact me so we could work together to catch the con man. I went to see my lawyer today, who informed me that, because I do not have the marriage certificate, I do not have a case. She suggested that I write to you again and appeal for the marriage officer to come forward, if she is authentic.

The marriage officer came to the house in Waterloo and officiated at the wedding in October 2010. She wrote information about the marriage on a sheet of paper and mailed it to my house. The marriage officer brought two witnesses, a male and a female. On the day of the wedding, the male witness explained that he did not want anything to eat because he was on a fast. The marriage officer is asthmatic. She said that her late husband made uniforms for government institutions. She further explained that, when her husband died, the police came out in droves for the funeral.

Since I wrote to you about the con man, he is now in Half-Way-Tree lock-up again. He has been there since September 29, 2011 on a bigamy charge again, as well as other charges. He was locked up shortly after my letter to you. A number of women have contacted me subsequent to the publication of my letter. They have some very sad stories to tell.

Thanks for your kind encouragement.

J.H.,

Dear J.H.,

Were photographs taken of your wedding? If yes, where are the pictures? If you didn't take photographs, that would be rather strange, because every bride wants to have photographs of the special occasion. If photographs were taken, the marriage officer would likely be in one of the photographs.

I find it difficult to understand that you do not know the name of the so-called marriage officer. Anyway, I hope that somehow you will receive justice.

Pastor
