ED HICKS GETS 1 YEAR IN JAIL

(from EOPC Archives, December 2005 - Hicks was released in October 2006. He is probably back online looking for his next target(s)! Be aware!)

OUR FIRST "PREDATOR OF THE MONTH" SENTENCED TO A YEAR IN JAIL FOR BIGAMY

from FightBigamy:
(our comments in purple)

"This is not your typical bigamy case. It is the worse case of bigamy that will ever be heard in this courtroom", said Assistant Commonwealth's Attorney Derek Wagner to the Honorable S. Bernard Goodwyn of the Chesapeake Circuit Court.

Wagner went on to say Charles Edward "Ed" Hicks' behavior was "predatory" and "not accidental". He asked the Judge Goodwyn to disregard the sentencing guidelines, which only call for probation for bigamy without prior convictions, and he asked that a two-year sentence be imposed on Hicks.

Judge Goodwyn sentenced Ed Hicks to five years in prison, but suspended four of them and that includes the time already served in Chesapeake, Virginia--not in Mecklenburg County, NC. Additionally, Hicks will serve an indeterminate amount of supervised probation upon his release with a minimum one-year under active supervision. (can we get that without any computer access???)

Hicks has seven confirmed marriages and four overlap. Moreover, in the last five years he used the Internet to find victims via online dating sites including Match.com, YahooPersonals.com, DreamDates.com, and AdultFriendFinder.com. As Charles Hicks faced prosecution in Chesapeake, he had proposed to an eighth woman in North Carolina when the woman's sister saw Ed Hicks' face on the Dr. Phil show and called the police.

Both Julie Flint (formerly Julie Hicks) and Sandra Hicks testified at the sentencing hearing. Note, that WAVY-TV's report of "the wives said that one year may not seem like a long time, but they believe it is a harsh sentence for this type of crime," is incorrect. What was said was this: "We were pleased that Ed Hicks did not walk out of the courtroom today with time served, although we were disappointed in length the sentence, we consider this a victory because most bigamists do not spend anytime in jail and receive only probation and a nominal fine." In addition to Sandra and Julie, two of Ed Hicks' other victims he met via online dating sites attended the sentencing hearing.

Ed Hicks showed absolutely no remorse or empathy towards either victim in his statement to the judge prior to sentencing, nor did he accept any responsibility for his actions. (Psychopath!) He tried to discredit Sandra Hicks' statement of financial loss, which is well documented by bank and credit card statements, stated that he "was the one who incurred debt", (ROFLMAO!) and Hicks added that he wanted "only mutual love and admiration" but that "people don't always make it, relationships don't always work."

(exactly how much "mutual love" did you want Ed? Isn't the only person you ever loved YOURSELF?? With numerous dating profiles you had out there?? In which you LIED and said you were DIVORCED?? and even that you HAD NO CHILDREN?? and LIVED ALONE??? when you were MARRIED and have children? and what didn't work Ed? your schemes? the fact that you juggled up to 4 women at one time? your predatory ways? your game? This predator is angry he got busted, has probably learned NOTHING from the experience and we will keep you updated as to when he gets out. Chances are this sociopath will do it again... Kudos to the the ex-wives and girlfriends who held this Cyberpath and Bigamist accountable for his willfully heinous treatment of women - Fighter)

'Dr. Phil' Helps Find Va. Bigamy Suspect
Viewer Recognizes Man as Sister's Beau

By Tom Jackman -- Washington Post Staff Writer

Who needs "America's Most Wanted" when you've got "Dr. Phil" to help capture supposed outlaws?

The case of Charles "Ed" Hicks, the Alexandria area man who has been married seven times but divorced only five, was featured yesterday on the syndicated "Dr. Phil" television show to emphasize the danger of bigamous men. A North Carolina woman spotted Hicks during the show's airing in the Charlotte area and said, "Oh my God, he's dating my sister!"

She called her sister, and then she called police.

Hicks, 61, was indicted last week in Chesapeake, Va., on a charge of felony bigamy. A warrant was issued, but he had not been arrested. The North Carolina women notified the Charlotte-Mecklenburg County police, and officers there arrested him at his current girlfriend's apartment at 1:35 p.m., said Julia Rush, a spokeswoman for the Mecklenburg County sheriff's office.

Hicks was living in the Hybla Valley area of Fairfax with his seventh wife, Sandra Phipps Hicks, when Sandra Hicks discovered he was still married to his sixth wife, Julie Flint Hicks. Ed Hicks was arrested on a charge of bigamy in Fairfax, but that charge was dismissed when it was determined that his sixth marriage also was bigamous and therefore invalid.

Linda Hembree of Shelby, N.C., said she first called her sister to say that Ed Hicks was on television. "She didn't believe it," Hembree said. "I said, 'Well, honey, turn on 'Dr. Phil!' "

Hembree said her sister, Barbara Hembree of Charlotte, had been dating Hicks for eight months after meeting him on the Internet. It was about eight months ago that Sandra Hicks discovered Hicks's history and booted him out.

Linda Hembree said Hicks had proposed to her sister last month, but Barbara Hembree wasn't ready to get married. Barbara Hembree, 54, was too upset yesterday to discuss the situation, Linda Hembree said.

"He was the most smooth-talking man I've ever met in my life," Linda Hembree said. She said Hicks had been shipping boxes to her sister's storage space in Charlotte in recent months and last week began spending much more time in North Carolina.

ED HICKS: Whatever Way You Look At It, This Is Work!

FROM EOPC ARCHIVES, DECEMBER 2005 - shows how much WORK it is for Cyberpaths to juggle targets!

How Does He Keep It All Straight?
Just think about it for a few minutes...some one carrying on such deception and betrayal is exhausting work; it takes a lot of effort, energy, and time to keep up this facade. Spinning elaborate yarns would cause a normal person to feel extreme guilt and remorse. A person possessing a conscience couldn't carry on a life such as this one.

Ed Hicks, how did you keep all the stories straight? From 1965 until the present, court records show there have been seven confirmed wives. Court records also show that four of Ed Hicks' marriages overlap. Additionally, from 2002 - 2004 email sent from a two different Department of Defense .MIL email accounts shows there have been at least four girlfriends in Ed Hicks' life in the past three years (*Lori*, *Lynn*, *Carol*, and Sandra), all the while he was still married to Julie Flint-Hicks and later married Sandra Phipps-Hicks. Wife #7 didn't know about #s 1, 2, 3, 5 & 6. Wife #6 didn't know about #1, 2, 3, 5, & 7. Wife #5 didn't know about #1, 2, 3, and 5. Wife #4 knew about them all...

Using Your Father-in Laws Death to Cheat on Your Girlfriend with Another Girlfriend While You are Still Married To Your Wife

In 2002, Ed was still married to Julie Flint-Hicks, was dating Sandra Goldin, and had at least three other girlfriends, according to email sent from two different Department of Defense .MIL email accounts. In May 2002, Wife #6, Julie's, dear father passed away. Ed and Julie Hicks had been separated for eight months at that time after Julie found a letter on their bed pillow (no face-to-face talk mind you, but a letter; he separates from his wife with a letter). Ed told his girlfriend of one year, Sandra, that he was going to his kids' grandpa's funeral in Utah. Sandra thought that it was Wife #4's father. Sandra learned recently it was Julie's father who passed away and that Ed Hicks did not go to the funeral at all. Instead, he went to the Eastern Shore of Virginia to a bed and breakfast with his girlfriend, *Lori*. He used his wife's father death to lie to his girlfriend while he cheated on she and his wife with another girlfriend. Yes, reading this garbage will leave you with a headache and give you nausea. You are in for a bumpy ride, but keep reading.

Letting Your Girlfriend Welcome Your Children Into Her Family While You Go On a Getaway With Another Girlfriend While You Are Still Married to Your Wife

Another interesting incident occurred in September 2002. Ed, of course was and still is married to Julie Flint-Hicks. During Labor Day weekend of that year Ed told then girlfriend and later to become wife #7 Sandra that he was going to Nags Head windsurfing with a male coworker. Trusting, naive Sandra bought it and told him to have a great time. That was Labor Day weekend and Sandra' parents were coming to Washington to visit for a family get together.

Just prior, Ed had moved his two teenage children in with Sandra for her to care for, including her writing checks for their college tuition and books while Ed still worked in Norfolk. She took this opportunity to take the children to visit her parents, her son, and daughter-in-law for the holiday because she wanted to give the children a semblance of family life since Ed Hicks told her there had never been another woman in his children's lives, other than their mother, which turns out was actually Wife #4. Also Julie Flint-Hicks heard this same story too---she was the only other woman he had allowed in his children's life!

As it turned out, Ed Hicks did not go windsurfing with a male coworker, but instead took girlfriend *Lori* to Nags Head. Two months later, *Lori* got a bit wise to Ed and dumped him. Read Ed's response to *Lori*'s putting his butt to the curb below. Comments are in red. If you can guess the number of times the words "I", "my", and "me" are used in this missive you win the "I Can Find a Narcissist" award!

Subject: Well, you have out done yourself .................

*Lori*

Just a note with some info you might be interested in. First, I knew you were out searching for another person. When you found him I was wondering when you would figure he was the one.

I still don't know what makes you tick. I stayed in spite of the facts I knew. Also quite a while ago when we talked about how bitter you were at your marriage I contacted one of your friends and they told me to be careful (Ed never contacted any of *Lori's* friends). I tucked that information away for later reference. There are things I still would like to know and why. Only you can supply those things. Oh by the way, I am not mad (Ed is never angry; see letter to Wife #7). I don't have the temperment to be that way. It sure hurts that you followed through with what you did (*Lori* got wise and put him to the curb, Ed didn't like that).

What I don't understand is how could you continue to make love to me and say you loved me and act that way as well? That part puzzles me. You were a willing participant, still taking me to places you like and seeing friends. That part had and still have me going. Oh, sure I did shed some tears over you (Ed Hicks, you've never cried over anyone but yourself). I think that is what you wanted all along. Well, you had that, now I would like to sit down with you and hear your reasons for the disception (spell check, please Ed)? I am not a violent person and I am probably more even tempered a person as you will ever meet (OH PLEASE STOP WITH THE VERBAL VOMIT, Ed Hicks...you would make a maggot barf). So, no danger there. A place of your choosing. I just want to hear the deep seated reasons. How you could act the loving part and still continue. You must be really bitter? (BTW...*Lori*'s only reply to this email was to tell Ed Hicks go right ahead with the little X-rated movie expose because she wasn't running for public office, and she never saw Ed again....Lucky *Lori*.)



Also, I have had a video of us screwing at Nags Head (Do tell, Ed...Do Tell...Ed never refers to "the act" as making love, it is always screwing, whether that be with wives, girlfriends, whomever, but yet Ed Hicks is In Love With Love). When I thought you were going to follow through with what ultimately happened I thought I would need some way to pay you back (Ed threatens *Lori* with a non-existent video, like *Lori* cared. As she responded to Ed Hicks, "Go right ahead, I'm not running for public office.). Not much to show execpt legs and heads in the hot tub but on the bed I got full face and body shots of us screwing. No mistaken who you are. A black man mounting you (this from Mr-Color-Shouldn't-Matter.... LOL!) and the facial contours of sexual pleasure. I guess you faked that as well. It is mighty convencing (Geez, Ed, learn to spell). The more I thought about it the more I came to my senses and fought the desire to put copies in public places around Norfolk (Ed fought the desire! Here's another rolling on the floor laughing your backside off moment). When I said the camera battery was dead it was not. I left it on the chair running so you would not be concerned about it being there. There are some interesting poses we were in while having sex. Now, if I were you (Not me) I'm not that way. Even though you think you have distroyed ("distroyed", I think Ed Hicks means "destroyed") my life. Well, you have not. You know where my heart was! On you and my kids. You should know by now that I only have a few things that I consider precious to me (the only thing precious to you Ed Hicks, is yourself). Nothing else matters (except Ed Hicks).

With us, I honestly thought I could remove the bitterness you felt towards men and women (Ed, after dating or marrying you, anyone would feel bitter). At times I thought I could live with you for the rest of my life. I did and I still do love you (Remember, Ed is still married to Julie, dating Sandra, dating *Carol*, dating *Lynn* and telling them all that he loves them...AMAZING; He's In Love With Love). Unlike you, I could not fake the feelings for you. (BARF) Some things will not change for a long time. I wonder why you had to lie and say that you loved me when you really were continuing to weave a web (Oh, this one is too much. "Lie, weave a web"! This is coming from the mouth of THE MASTER). I knew about it several months before. Love makes a person think they can over-come obstackles (At least use a spell checker, Ed). Well, I was wrong. I became a source of sex and dinning (Glad you were good for something and I think you mean "dining"). Until you found someone else that could continue that effort. Again, that is okay. Not like I did know know what you were doing. I just fell for you and thought there was some reality in what you displayed to me over the time we were together. Goes to show we all can be wrong at times. Smile. (Here we go with that Smile business again.)

Well, I still would like to sit down and have you tell me what drives you. Why didn't you just say let's just fuck each other and go out? Nothing more and trust that I would have still continued. You knew that I loved you (PUKE). I would have continued and we could have saved each other a lot of misery. Well, to me the misery and you the gratification of being able to try and hurt innocent folks. I would like to hear the reason for that as well. Is it all over ### and what he did to you? You could have been honest with me (Why should *Lori* have been honest with you, Ed Hicks? You were never honest with her) and still enjoyed (If you enjoyed the sex, dinners, etc.) what ever you needed from me. I am a very logical person and would have understood (A logical person does not marry seven women and marry four of them while he is still married to some one else, Ed Hicks, get a grip...that is not LOGICAL). You used me and I guess you thought I was not smart enough to figure it out or to trace your mail traffic as well. (Lori used Ed! Now here is another laugh out loud rolling on the floor moment). Okay the cards are on the table.

Oh one more thing. Why did you involve my kids in all of this. You had a plan that could only end in disaster and you allowed my kids to become attached to you as well (Hmmmmm...Your kids were attached to their stepmother, Julie, that you booted from the house...see letter to wife #6 Julie...they were attached to girlfriends Sandra and *Carol*. How many woman have been paraded in and out of your poor children's lives, Ed Hicks, how many?). I am interested in hearing how they played into your plans. After we talked that night on the porch you made sense about bringing the kids there (Ed decided Sandra's place was better). I almost lost my thoughts and asked them if they would like that. Naturally they would have said yes. They really liked you and having them there would have been a tradgedy (spell check...PLEASE) for them. So thanks for doing this early enough so they would not have to suffer the hurt as well. (Ed Hicks, you know nothing about people suffering hurt... other than INFLICTING it)

Are you so heartless that kids don't matter (Oh please, Ed Hicks, you are a piece of work). What about your kids? They really liked me and I liked them. How do you resolve that even though they would never say anything to you. That has always been a concern of mine as I voiced to you on several occasions. Don't you care enough about yourself to think of them?

I think a dinner and drinks would put this mess to rest. We can go Dutch since now you have someone else to pick up the tab for dinners. (Ed Hicks threatens *Lori* with an expose of an x-rated home made video of the two of them, calls her heartless, bitter, and a liar, tells her she is selfish, tells her she has woven a web, tells her she has no self esteem, tells her she has hurt innocent folks, tells her she involved his children in who knows what, but yet Ed Hicks still wants to have dinner and drinks with her, but he wants to go Dutch....PRICELESS!)

I am heading to Calif. in two weeks and than (once and for all Ed Hicks, learn the difference between "than" and "then") to Aruba for some windsurfing (Ed didn't windsurf in Aruba; he ventured to California to see girlfriend *Carol* while Sandra took care of his kids. Of course he told Sandra it was a business trip to the Naval Postgraduate School). I would like to get this behind me before I leave....... Loving you is one thing but unanswered questions are another (there are quite a few people that you have left without providing any closure to whatsoever Ed Hicks, and you have the audacity to tell *Lori* there are unanswered questions).

The 9/11 Story: Your Wife and Children are Worried Sick at Home Thinking You are Dead Inside the Pentagon, Meanwhile You Are Sitting at Your Girlfriend's House Probably Using Her Computer to Write to Another Girlfriend, *Lynn* Across the State!

The September 11, 2001 story reeks of disgust, not that all of this is not disgusting, for it truly depicts the playbook of how one person's self-centered, immoral, conscience-free existence has traumatically affected so many other trusting, caring, kind people.

On September 10, 2001, Ed Hicks left his home in Chesapeake and told wife Julie that he had to go to the Pentagon on business and he would be back the next day. Little did she know that Ed was actually visiting girlfriend Sandra who thought Ed Hicks had been divorced for years. Of course we all know what happened on that horrible day. Meanwhile, poor Julie and Ed's children were worried sick about him; Julie thought he might be dead since he told her he had to go to the Pentagon on business that day. Ed Hicks was not at the Pentagon; he was actually working on Sandra's computer probably writing to another girlfriend, *Lynn* who lived across the state. Are there no boundaries anywhere in this man's life?

Using Your Wife's Father's Dying a Horrible Cancer Death to Lie to Your Girlfriend About Not Writing As Often, While Your Poor Other Wife Doesn't Have the Resources to Locate You

In January 2004, Sandra's father lay dying of Stage IV Lung cancer. Email from Ed to *Carol* sent from a Department of Defense .MIL email account shows that Ed Hicks told *Carol* the reason he had not been writing very much lately was because a dear friend of his was dying of cancer. The dear friend was Sandra's father. Again, Ed Hicks uses "one of his" father-in-law's dying to lie to a girlfriend. Meanwhile, Julie has been forced to bankruptcy, lost her car, asks Ed's children as to his whereabouts and is informed that they are not allowed to tell her where they live, their phone number, or anything about their father. Therefore, Julie cannot find Ed to even try to get a divorce, much less get any kind of closure from the man she married in 1997.

WOW--THIS IS WORK! If only Ed Hicks had funneled his intelligence in the right way, the moral way, the ethical way, and the Judeau-Christian way, he could have received that Bachelor of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering from Cal Poly and that Master's in Business Administration from University of Washington that he likes to tell everyone he has.

Fairfax Man Wed 7 Times Faces Charge Of Bigamy
THE WASHINGTON POST
By Tom Jackman
Washington Post Staff Writer

The Fairfax County (Virginia) man who has been married seven times -- and divorced five -- was indicted in Chesapeake, Va., yesterday on a charge of felony bigamy, and a warrant was issued for his arrest.

Charles E. "Ed" Hicks, 61, previously was charged in Fairfax with marrying his seventh wife, Sandra Goldin Hicks of the Alexandria area, without divorcing his sixth wife, Julie Flint Hicks, with whom he lived in Chesapeake in the late 1990s.

Then things got complicated. Fairfax prosecutors realized that Hicks's web of marriages and divorces meant that the seventh marriage wasn't valid -- necessitating the dismissal of the Fairfax bigamy charge in September.

So Julie Hicks turned to Chesapeake authorities to focus on her simple quandary: When she married Ed Hicks in April 1997, he was still married to his fifth wife, Rose Marie Sewell of San Antonio, according to both women and court records. Chesapeake prosecutors agreed and obtained an indictment in Circuit Court.

"I think there's sufficient evidence to go forward with a bigamy charge," said Chesapeake Assistant Commonwealth's Attorney Derek K. Wagner. He declined to be more specific.

Hicks did not return messages left at his work and on his cell phones yesterday. His attorney, Richard S. Simpson, also did not return a call.

"I'm thrilled," Julie Hicks said from Layton, Utah, where she lives. "I just hope they get him arrested."

Sandra Hicks, who unraveled her husband's adventure through 40 years and seven trips down the aisle, has become an activist against men who prey on women on the Internet and who marry repeatedly without consequence. She is still married to Hicks, pending a Jan. 4 court date to obtain either a divorce or an annulment.

"I'm elated," Sandra Hicks said, "because I don't want him to do this to someone else. For all I know, he could be married again, the way the laws are. Hopefully, justice will be served."

Sandra Hicks had first alerted Fairfax police to Ed Hicks's actions, and court records show he has married four times while still married to someone else. He has three grown children with two of his wives.

When Sandra Hicks married him in May 2003, he was -- and still is -- married to Julie Hicks. But Fairfax prosecutors reasoned that because the marriage to Julie Hicks was also allegedly bigamous, it was invalid and therefore could not be the basis for a bigamy charge involving Sandra Hicks.

(Sandra Hicks and Julie Hicks were been interviewed for an episode of the "Dr. Phil" TV show .)

Ed Hicks: Busted and INDIGNANT!!

(from EOPC Archives, December 2005) Ed Hicks' emails and story remain one of the most classic and typical examples of Cyberpath and Online Predation EOPC has posted. We are revisiting Hicks because he's out of jail and most probably back online doing the same thing!

This was sent from Ed Hicks to confirmed wife #7, Sandra - the day she found his online ads and kicked him out of the house. The BIGAMY was yet to be found....

Like ALL Cyberpaths - Ed is indignant in proclaiming his innocence. As with the horrible letter he left wife #6, Julie - please note the:

Projection
Blame-Shifting (you MADE me do it, I was forced, I had no choice...)
Denial (wasn't me, never happened, it's all in your head...)
The Twisting of Reality
The Guilt-Tripping (its YOUR fault not mine)
The ME-ME-ME of online narcissism
Confabulation/ Word Salad (a.k.a. - WTF?!)
Portraying themselves as honorable when they are anything BUT!

Caveats: NONE

I am not into the insane stuff that goes on in your mind. If you think I have been searching for someone you should know I have not. (LIE) I put those ads out there just to see if you are still spying. (LIE) The type of ad I put in was not designed to disguise myself but to check to see if you are still spying. You have a problem with trying to control people. I don't have a problem like that. (LIE) You really only have the fact that I placed the ads just to see how much spying you do on me. You have what you think is total control and in reality you continue to make a mess of our life (PROJECTION). Now you think you can disparage me. It seems that is what you were looking for. I felt and thought you were looking for things to do just that. (LIE!)

Home is where the tracing is. A guy from work and I placed a couple of ads and you missed those. No way to trace it from there. I always wondered why. I was home all the time. No chance of me (nor did I ever want anything or anyone else) You were for a long time bound and determined to dig, be nasty and make life unbearable so I would leave. (SHE KICKED YOU OUT!!! YOU DIDN'T LEAVE!!) Give you great grounds to again be right and to make others believe I am something I am not. Your proof and ammunition has holes in it. (LIE) If you would have just allowed me to just love you and not want to maneuver and control me we could have avoided all of this. (Blame Shifting) It seems you are the one with the hidden agenda. Your emails and actions speak to that.

Even now I am not angry. (ROFLMAO!!) I have never treated anyone with disrespect and it is not the time to start now. (LIE) You think you have what you want. I surely would not plan to do me in with an ad in a dating service. It was a plant just like all the others. I never answered any of them or even went back to the site once the ads were placed. (LIE!!) I was not looking for anyone, just wondering why my loving wife would still be so insecure she felt like she should be tracing my every step. Especially since I am home or with you all the time. When would I have time or even want someone else.

When you talk about being used. You were not but I was. I loved you, stuck with you through all you have been through for the past couple of years. Made allowances for your actions. Did all I could for your parents through sickness and the eventual. Never complained about giving up vacation and personal time and money to spend as much time and ensure you spent the maximum amount of time in Abingdon. Worked around your parents home and did what I could for them and you. I was tired but never gave you any indication of that. All of this for you (PROJECTION, BLAME SHIFTING, REWRITING HISTORY and LYING).

I guess while I was trying to do what I could for you in any way I could you were looking at ways to discredit me. Why else would you do what you have been doing. Money seems to drive you.(PROJECTION) Well, enjoy what you get. I surely hope it satisfies since someone loving you and doing what they can for you was not enough. Unfortunately, what goes around comes around. (Ed Hicks' headstone should say that!)

I will make plans to remove my things from your house. You know as well as I do that getting one's things from a house requires more than one day. (Planning) I will let you know when I need to get in to move certain things. (still trying to call the shots, Ed?) I would never take anything of yours. Despite what you might tell your friends and relatives, you know who I am and that I would never do anything but remove my things. It would be best if you are not there when I start removing my things. I will request times to do that in advance so there won't be a chance of a nasty altercation. I will try and have everything out in a couple of weeks. That is what I will shoot for since there are still quite a few of my things remaining there.

I knew you were leading up to this when the thought of you getting a lot of money came into the picture. You changed almost instantly and have been unbelievably nasty ever since. (PROJECTION) That is why I started moving my things out of your garage. I knew you were up to no good. (BLAME SHIFTING) Waiting until you had financial security and than rid yourself of anyone who did not agree with you and what you do 100%. You gave me a prelude to this day some time ago, so not unexpected. All the time I was hoping I was wrong: I guess not. this would come up and since that was your house (Even though I treated it as OURS just as you had said for the longest time. (OURS turns out to be yours when it is convenient for you. - PROJECTION) All the work I put in there there, patio and other extensive projects. Fixing, painting, etc.) At $300 per/mo. for storage of my things which were in the garage and now adding another $300 to store the remainder of things from your house is not a bargain either. Okay, you get what you want but don't try to paint me for what I am not. Things have a habit of backfiring when people do that.

One thing, at least folks who have met me get a sense of who I am. They may not know me well but will have doubts when you tell them some of the things you think you have uncovered. If you would like to tackle that, go ahead. (THE SMEAR CAMPAIGN OF THE ABUSER - typical to throw THEIR mud at the victim!)

I need to get some clothes out of your house today so I can continue working. I have meetings and commitments all day today but will try to secure a place to stay as quickly as possible. I will let you know when I start the moving process. (Ed, you are such a responsible guy, HUH?)

(This Aunt of Ed Hicks' was used for MORE excuses - and HE NEVER WENT TO SEE HER!!!) I think this will be the last time we all spend any time together. She is not doing well and said she may as well die since Uncle Jessie is not here. It hurts me to hear that but at the same time I can relate to what she is saying. After being married to a person for 56 years it does not make for good days when you know they are gone. (Ed Hicks waxing poetic about MARRIAGE - GAG!!)

I honestly think she will just lay down one day and not wake up. That is her wish. We were trying to make sense of what she wants to do with her things. House, etc. (can Ed Hicks somehow get my hands on this stuff? or anyone's money?) These folks have a difference in thinking than I have. (Yeah, they are human - you are a psychopath) One cousin thinks I want part of what she has. No matter how much I tell them I am just there to see my aunt gets things done after she is gone. If they keep messing with me I will just walk away and let them fight over stuff. I am not about that.

Anyway, I am not angry but been traveling. The Internet mail has been on and off for the past two months so I don't always get my mail when gone. (Bulldung!)

Honey, I am very tired and should get moving or I will fall asleep. We have about 8 inches of snow and they say we will get at least that again tonight so I don't want to be on the road.

I do love and miss you. You take care of you, okay. (just like Ed Hicks takes care of ED HICKS only!!)

Ed
I'm really sorry to hear about your Aunt and family members. I tell you people will be people no matter what or how hard we try and convince them that their are caring people in the world.
I'll continue to pray you and your family. When you get a chance let me know how and what the kids are doing.

I enjoy the emails about their young life's.

DC really got some snow according to the weather report, as always I'm concerned about your family safety during bad weather. So Take care and get some rest.

CAROL IS OBVIOUSLY A BIG FAN OF ED HICKS' FICTION

Much love

Sweetie the kids are fine. Still going to school but not willing to put in what I think they should to get the most out of school. I guess I should be glad they are still going. :)

Yes, folks are a mess. If they only knew me they would rest easy knowing I don't want anything. When they would ask me and tell them I really don't want anything they think I am lying. Well, that is on them. I will help when the time comes or I can walk away. I have not been around most of them at all in my life and I don't need no aggravation now. (Ed Hicks certainly CAUSES ENOUGH AGGRAVATION, pain, depression and ruin!)

Hope things are going well with you. I am heading out of here now. Hopefully tomorrow will not bring more snow. If it does they will surely shut down the Federal Gov't here.

Take care. I miss you. Love. (and you and you and you oh, and YOU TOO!! - blech!)

The Online Personal Ads of Ed Hicks

All of these ads were posted while he was married to Sandra, Wife #7

The first ad below was posted just before Wife #7, Sandra, kicked him out of her home. Keep in mind at that time she knew nothing of him being a serial bigamist and thought he had only been married once. She was looking forward to retiring with Ed Hicks to their property in the Bahamas. Imagine her shock and hurt when she read the ad below!:

Man seeking Woman,
Divorced

I am a US citizen who is looking for a mate to share a lovely piece of an island with. I own a lovely lot (WITH MY WIFE!) overlooking the aqua blue Caribbean on Eleuthera Island and am looking for the special someone to share my dream. (NOT) I love the ocean and warm clear waters of the Bahama Islands. Visiting exploring and living the life I have dreamed of. Want to learn to scuba dive, windsurf, kitesurf or fish virgin waters? Come with me and explore your dream and make mine come true by having you with me. I am retiring from my Federal Government position. If you assist ($$$), we can soon sail on my boat. Are you the one I am looking for? Do you love warm weather, clear warm water and breathtaking beaches? You have a chance to acquire the best tan and enjoy a live of leisure with me. Take a chance and write me. If we don't make a love connection we could become friends and that makes getting in touch with each other a win - win situation.

Have interests which you can participate in by yourself and can share with a loved one. (please read the "dump" letter he sent wife #6 about her having her own interests!)

What I've learned from my past relationships: You have to give of yourself without reserve (to ME). If you love someone and that someone loves you than you have a chance to make a life with each other.

In my own words
Are you one of the few color-blind people living in this part of the country? I am. I come from an area of the country where if you like a person you date or make friends with them. If you have bigoted thoughts towards any race, let's not waste each other’s time. People are people and should be treated as such.

I am a professional engineer. I am still working but looking forward to retirement soon. Let's email each other to see if capability suits us. How are you going to know what you want or like if you don't take a chance?

Forget those wild dreams of Cary Grant or Sidney Poitier. This is real life and people are real. Are you?

I am searching for a real woman. One that does not exaggerate or tell you the things they think you want to hear. Send pictures of themselves 20 years ago or pictures of someone else. Being honest is a real virtue. Try it, it really works.

The person I would like to meet must be alive and love the outdoors. I love the water, windsurfing, scuba diving, fishing and walking on lovely local and far away beaches. If you are looking for someone who is caring, loving and in love with love than stop here; you have found him. Now, are you willing to do anything about it. I am waiting for you (PREDATOR!). You won't regret the time spent to touch base with me..............

Is This Internet Cheating?

Dear Dr. Bob,

I recently found that my fiance has been writing to several other women over the internet and I found the e-mails. They are all very suggestive and sexual and he talks to them about things that he and I have shared. He cannot understand why I am upset. I told him I have given him everything one woman can give a man, emotionally, sexually, spiritually, etc....and I don't know what else to do. I told him I didn't feel I was enough, and he SWEARS over and over again that I am enough woman for him, yet he has this need to write these woman and discuss all this. They have even sent him photos of themselves and he kept them until recently, so he says. He says he doesn't feel like it is cheating at all since there is no physical contact and this is all just e-mail bull. I consider it every-bit cheating, especially when he is telling a woman what he would do to her if he was with her.....which what is worse, is that it is all the same stuff he says to me when we are together physically. What are your thoughts?

Is this Internet Cheating?

Dear Reader,

If you think it's cheating, if you come close to thinking it's cheating, IT IS CHEATING. If you have a problem with his internet escapades, it is a problem - for you, for him and the relationship. You have every right to voice your concern, so, don't hold back.

Before we look at his escapades, I want you to "get this" so it sinks deeply into every cell of your womanhood: you are not defective! There is nothing wrong with you as a sexual being! There is nothing else for you to do - for him or to him! Actually, he sounds like a real lucky guy!

Please understand, the reality of life and intimacy is that sometimes it's hot and sometimes it's not, and mostly it's between. Would you settle for 10% hot, 10% not and 80% between? That's probably pretty close, especially as relationships grow and mature.

It sounds like he is fairly immature or is grabbed by an addiction. I don't think it's an addiction, since he appears not to hide his activities. There may be seeds for an addiction, but considering your age (I'm assuming 20's or so?) I would think his fantasies (played out on the 'net) rule and/or he's fairly clueless about the next step needed to develop a more mature relationship. (If you were in your late 30's, 40's or 50's I would see it differently.)

You can't compete with fantasies or addictions. Don't try. It won't work.

He is giving you a clue about his internet activities: they are meeting a "need." What kind of need is this? Does he need excitement, to feel in control, be wanted and wanted more, feel powerful, competent, adequate or are there other personal needs driving and living in these fantasies?

Personal needs are typically powerful and our "neediness" can guide our lives until we identify them and transform them. I have a program in my coaching resources that lists over 200 personal needs and step by step shows you how to get them met in constructive ways.

The good, open communication base in your relationship will enable you to talk about your personal needs. Pick apart his fantasies. What are the personal needs that weave through them? Are there patterns? What are they? Where do they fit with your personal needs? Are they different? Are there points of similarities?

Being able to talk at this level might take some time. It might feel strange and a little weird, but go for it. I think the two of you are ready. Eventually, as you explore your personal needs and mutually commit in very practical ways to meet some of those, your relationship will move to a deeper level of intimacy and the netcapades will fade into cyberspace.

Ed Hicks Gives Classic Lines to Another Target - Heard Any of these Yourself?

(from EOPC Archives, December 2005) - A WORTHWHILE read just for the CLASSIC & TYPICAL B.S. Hicks throws around in these emails!

Ed's first arrest for bigamy (he turned himself in to his attorney) was May 26, 2005. Check the DATES on these emails.... yet he just plows right along. The arrest didn't even slow him down.

>Hi Sam

I have been up to my ------- in alligators this week. I did receive your note but was trying to figure out what would be a good time to meet. No, I was not avoiding you. (I was dealing with my legal troubles, other women, you know all the ED HICKS usual stuff) That would be the last thing on my mind. I was given a task at work, which has all but consumed me. I know you had company and were busy with daughter and friends and would not mind if I lost myself in my work for a couple days. It seems we can meet at 6:00pm if that would be okay with you. I know I will be spending a long day at work on Monday and would not want to be late. That would be very rude for being late for a first meeting or any meeting.
>
I feel as you do that we have a lot in common and I doubt if conversation would be a problem. Let me know if the time I picked is okay with you. Can I say now that I will make every effort to get there on time. As I said earlier, I have an all-consuming task, which demands ultimate attention. (DO TELL ED!!!) If you could send me your phone number where I can contact you in case things get beyond my control I would feel better.
>
I hope your daughter is doing better. I know how children can affect a parent. (Which is why I barely give a crap about mine) Also, I hope you talked with your Ex about your possible proposal to sell on San Maarten? Make a decision, which benefits you and what you expect out of a vacation or living location.

So, you are off again. Do you have time to include someone in your life even as a friend? Maybe I will be interesting enough to be included in that circle. (Again, classic predator move - "just a friend" ..... any time for Poor Ole' Ed Hicks?..... jerk)
>
You have a pleasant evening. I do miss talking with you. What happened to the telephone talk first? First you told me I was moving too fast, now the meeting. I don't have a problem with it at all, just wondering what changed your mind. (Classic again - put the target on the defensive!)

Sam, I was not angry at the line of questions. I was just wondering if we were to begin trying to be friends we should not act like we are lovers. If that happens it will be fine but if it doesn't we should be able to move on as friends. I do understand what you are saying about your past relationship. I know what hurt is but can we insulate ourselves from all possible hurt. Hurt that may or may not come to us in the future. I don't think so. There are no guarantees of finding anyone in this life. I am a man in love with the idea of loving someone and being loved in return. (PUKE PUKE PUKE) I know it is a large chore and I may never find it but it does not stop me from looking.

I hope you can now get some rest. I know this entire ordeal has been very stressful on you. (False compassion...

Ed--

I'm sorry if I upset you. As I told you before, since that horrible previous relationship that began online, I question. (Good for you "Samantha" - putting the defensive ball back in HIS court) I don't mean to box you in at all and insinuate anything. I'm very sorry. >>>>

Have you been shopping around for any sailboats? Do you plan on buying a new or previously owned one? New ones are so expensive and you'd probably be much better off buying a gently used one.

My daughter arrived home this evening from the hospital and her mother-in-law is helping out. My daughter is very sore because she had to have the large incision. The doctor was not able to do the small one that they're doing with so many of the patients today. I'm glad this ordeal is coming to a close and things will get back to normal soon. My daughter can't drive for six weeks though but fortunately her mother in law will be with her the entire time so I can continue to work.

I'll take your advice and ask my husband what he thinks about selling the condo in St. Maarten.

Sam, I think we are looking at the same ad or profile. At age 52 depending on when ones birth date is there can be less than 3 years. If I spend my true time until age 55 it would be 2.5 years. Are the dates that important? Does 6-mos make a difference? If we are just going out for coffee and we share common interests, would it make a difference even if I were 70 years old? (again, TYPICAL PREDATOR - justifying his lying to HIMSELF in that comment!) What I was saying is that if I get fed up I will just leave and retire early. I have a house to build and nothing is dependent on me remaining with the Fed's for the 2.5 years. (Ed Hicks, like all of them - tries to put the TARGET on the defensive while at the same time NOT ANSWERING THE QUESTION. NO STRAIGHT ANSWER! Predators then hope you will think twice about direct questions in the future)
>>>>>
I understand what you are saying about living in the Caribbean on a crowded island with tourist running all over the place. It would be like me living in Nassau. I would never consider that or other islands with cruise ships coming in and a bunch of tourist. Where Eleu is I can be at almost any island within a matter of a few hours. There is the Fast Ferry and also flights daily to almost anywhere one might want to go. I still have plans for a sailboat, which would put the icing on my
retirement cake. Than moving around the Caribbean would be a matter of packing up and sailing away. (Just like all of Ed Hicks' life - pack up and "sail" away - no closure, no reason, no divorce - just leave the people in ruin and run!)
>>>>>
As far as me advising you of what you should do about changing locations. I cannot do that. It would be best for you to consult with your Ex or someone familiar with the other islands in the Bahamas or other Caribbean locations. I still don't know how the tax or other monetary implications of living in a Dutch province are as compared to what they are in the Bahamas. The only advice I would give you is to research both and make as informed decision as you can. Visit several times to ensure you are making a decision you can live with.

Thank you for your response and answers to my questions. If you have not become a grandfather yet, would you like to meet next Monday evening? My friend has two cars and I can borrow one to drive to meet you.

I understand what you mean by wanting to keep yourself "liquid".That's a good business approach if you're planning to retire in a year or so as you say. I am still baffled, Ed, because your post on match.com says you are 52. But you say in the e-mail note you sent to me this evening that you can't retire from the Federal Government until you are fifty-five. That means you would have to work another three years even with the reducation in your federal employee retirement benefits but you say you'll only work another year? Did you make a typo on your ad? (Again, take note - "Samantha" just throws it right back at him. Good!)
>>>>>>
I believe we could be friends especially since we both love the water and all it has to offer. Your island plans arouse a sense of delight and inner peace in me that's been lacking for such a long time. St. Maarten is very different from what you describe on Eleuthera. I've been considering selling the condo there and finding a quieter place myself. St. Maarten is very small, extremely expensive and becoming too overcrowded. I could sell the condo there and with the equity, I could buy two places elsewhere. What do you think and what would you advise Ed? (Get Ed to help you spend your money - on him)

I know you're elated about the birth of your first grandchild. My thoughts, prayers and best wishes are with all of you. Keep in touch about the "grand" event.

Have a good evening.

Sam, I am glad you have such family support. It is wonderful to have them around when things are tough. It is also great that your Ex has come to help as well. You have a structure, which permits such helpful actions. (Unlike me - no structure and I could care less about being "helpful")
>>>>>>>
You asked quite a few questions which I thought we would have gotten to by now. I understand your concern since your last relationship went bad on you. I felt as though I was paying the price for someone else's actions. I backed off since it seemed you were guarding against to close a contact. I was not happy about it but I did understand. (Oh, isn't he CHIVALROUS.... they ALL do this.... GAG!) I felt you would be worth getting to know even if we just turned out to be friends. I don't have a problem with just being friends at this point. I just would not enjoy being scrutinized to the point of being bad until I or someone else proves I am not. More like being guilty until proven innocent. (Freudian Slip??) Okay, I am past that stage and am willing to move on if the effort on both our parts are genuine.
>>>>>>>
When I first told you I was not living alone you were confused about that. Let me address that issue so we can either move past it or let it hold us back. I am planning to retire sometime within the next year or so. I have a house to build on the island and paying premium dollar for a house or condo in Alexandria or any surrounding community would not be in my best interest. I have seen housing markets come to a screeching halt in the past. House sales slump to lows, which would keep me here and not allow me to sell and move on in my life. I cannot or will not allow my hopes & dreams to be smothered by market sales of homes. Remaining liquid is the way to control my own destiny. I don't know what to tell you other than that is my decision and it is best for me. My children are grown and are not in the equation now. (The only one in Ed Hicks' equation is ED HICKS) I don't' have to provide a home and stability as I had for over 20 years. My thoughts are now to do what I can to ensure a retirement which will allow me to travel and do what I makes sense to me and give me what I have worked for all my life (which is what exactly, Ed? freeloading off, ruining and bilking women?). I hope you understand and not put me into a box, which is associated with everyone else.
>>>>>>>
Your life with your Ex ended in an equitable sharing of assets and things you both accumulated together. I was married twice. My first, she and I are great friends. Things happened which had no bearing on love or caring. I raised two children from diapers to adulthood. She knows my character and who I am. Just as your Ex feels comfortable with you after a divorce. My second wife is Satan herself. I did not see this but have paid the price but at least have successfully removed the problem from my life (NOT!!! you evaded justice until now Ed!). Am I cautious, yes? Am I wrapped up in what went wrong and what a mistake I made in judgment, no (because Ed Hicks is a psychopath with no conscience). I am looking for a friend and if she turns out to be more than it should be a mutual arrangement. I don't want anything from anyone I just would like someone to spend time with and maybe share a life long dream of living in the islands. Being able to pursue the water sports I love and enjoy. This may not answer any of your questions but it might let you know I am not carrying baggage, which would prohibit love, friendship with another person. There is no one perfect for any one person. Without flexibility and a willingness to trust it is fruitless to search for someone to hopefully include in your life. Maybe it is too early for you. I don't know, but again I am willing to see if we can be friends.
>>>>>>>
Now for some other issues you are concerned about. I work for the Army. I have worked for DoD and the Navy during my Fed career. I have twenty-seven years with the Gov't and probably won't remain for 30 years. I can leave when I am fifty-five and that is what I plan to do. Trying to compute and live with a 2% reduction in retirement benefit will not be a deterrent for me leaving. Life is short. Most persons our age are leaving the work place because they understand that fact and realize that when you don't feel good about what you do it is time to move on. (I have reached burnout) Adding stress by remaining will take years off my life. (Ed Hicks already deducted about EIGHT YEARS from his REAL AGE) I am a very healthy individual at this stage of my life and I would like to enjoy what ever is remaining.
>>>>>>
I live about two miles from Old Town off Route One. So I am close to where you would be staying. It would not matter to me if I lived as far away as Richmond, it would not be a problem getting there to have coffee with you. Face to face puts some things into perspective and allows each to view and chat a little with a person. This is innocent and without commitment. I would not be honest if I told you I expected more: I don't. I understand visual acceptance is part of any friendship or relationship. Let's continue with your schedule and see if we can obtain a level worthy of us being just friends. No expectations, just talk. When it is over you can retire to a neutral arena and assess whether you and I can be friends. I will do the same. If that first step turns out to be negative we just thank each other for their time and move on with our lives. I would always wish you the best and know you will find the right person for you. I know I will as well.
>>>>>>>
My weekend was uneventful but enjoyable. I like down time every so often to reflect on life, direction and remaining within myself. They are huge points, which drive us to our goals. I worked a little more on my purposed contribution to the island I plan to live the reminder of my life on. As you might know, most islands in the Bahamas are close to third world. Meaning there is high unemployment, facilities are in most local areas are substandard, etc. My plan is to make the islanders aware of their responsibility to the island they live on and love. (Ed Hicks making OTHER PEOPLE aware of RESPONSIBILITY? LOL!!) Clean beaches. Going to remote locations and actually cleaning them up and making all visitors aware it is their responsibility to pack out what they pack in. Not the case at this present time. I have developed a monthly plan, which is in conjunction with the many churches on the island to clean a beach a month. Have islanders take responsibility for informing those who enjoy the beach to help clean it. I have enlisted landowners; heavy equipment companies who will act as land fill maintenance or caretakers for covering the trash and refuge we collect as a result of our beach cleaning efforts. If I affect a few it will be doing something very near and dear to my heart. (You HAVE, Ed? Predators always try to paint themselves as altruists) Okay, now you have some idea of who and what I plan to do and close to a time frame of when.
>>>>>>>
I am not a churchgoer and have not been for a very long time. I believe but have not found the right place to practice a religion I can believe in. This is a long story and should be taken as a single issue. (The Almighty Church Of Ed Hicks hasn't been invented yet)

I am heading to California at some point within the next three weeks. It could be tomorrow or the complete term doctors have estimated for the time and date of birth. I will let you know if any of this effort changes plans we have made.

You never told me exactly where you live while you are in Washington. You only said you share living quarters with a friend who travels extensively, at least 80% of the time, which was why you never got a place of your own. Where do you live?

Hello Sam
I can just imagine how stressful all this is for all of you. I am not the praying kind but did say a prayer that your daughter would be okay. God probably listened to that prayer since it was from a strange voice. (See, even GOD listens to Ed Hicks!) I hope the infection clears so your daughter can go home. Most people who are hospitalized would get well sooner and feel better in familiar surroundings. don't know first hand what you are experiencing with your grandson wanting his parents. It does not seem that long ago when my kids were his age they would go visit their mother and after about an hour or so would want to go home. Hang in their grandma; things will get better as the days go on.

Are you doing okay? We often forget that loved ones need consideration in cases like this as well. Parents go through things harder than their children do when things seem out of hand. (Not like Ed would know) You make sure you take care of yourself as much as possible with all that is going on. I wish we were further along in our relationship I would make sure you had a chance to clear your mind, if only for a little while. I agree with you about moving to another plateau in our quest for friendship. I know I want it. We matched up so well when we first met. Those things are still there and should be improved upon. If we analyze things too much we sometimes miss what we were searching for. I don't think that is the case for us at this point as long as neither of us pull back and go into stall mode.
>>>>>>>>>
I had other work done on my van (your HOME?), which went okay. The hitch was the wrong one so they had to order another. Well, there goes another trip. That is okay since I am down here quite often anyway.

You are so sweet in your compliments. I will defer some of them to you. You are going through the wringer I wish you well. I look forward to us meeting if only for a cup of coffee. (So he can start to put you through the Ed Hicks Wringer. Predators love women who have been through tough times so they can swoop in and seem like answered prayers - at first!)

Charles Hicks wrote:

Good Morning Laura

I have been married twice myself. (TWICE? Seven confirmed..... who knows how many used & bilked) The last was a complete bust from the first month after marriage. The misrepresentation became vividly apparent rather quickly. She was controlling and I am not. (He's talking ABOUT SANDRA HERE. Controlling? Yeah, you are IMing women and putting online ads out there FROM YOUR MARITAL HOME!!) My kids when they were growing up were the only people I controlled and as time went on I released that control. (How about the son you beat so badly he didn't go to school for a couple weeks? and then you abandoned him?) We all are adults and should have minds of their own. Aside from trying to combine lives into a cohesive unit we should not think of
controlling anyone. (Translation: Wife #7 found out I was a predator, and that made Ed Hicks angry.... booooo hooooo) Well, that did not happen and so I had to end it.

My first was a great gal. We were a product of drugs. Started out with the prescription variety and than escalated to any kind of drug. (That's GREAT?) Heavy drinking was thrown in. My kids were in diapers when I decided to save the kids and myself by leaving her. (Ed Hicks abused her so badly she developed a drug habit and he threatened and ultimately abandoned her) I helped as much as I could financially for treatment centers, visitations, etc. She went down the path to bottom. She is finally doing better and is now clean as far as I know. She and I get along well now. The kids are grown and they maintain contact with her, which is how I managed the situation from the beginning. Kids need to know who their parents are. They know that drinking and drugs were the cause but I never talked to them about the extent or what transpired as a result other than I raised them by myself. I never wanted them taking sides. (You involved & threatened your kids into keeping YOUR LIFE OF LIES!!)

Eleuthera is one of the Eastern most islands in the Bahamas Island chain. Secluded and close to Third World in development when compared to Nassau or some of the more popular Islands. I love that about it. The people are real and would do anything for anyone. (And that makes them easy pickins' and a great place for Ed to HIDE) They live very simple lives adhering to the basic needs of life. Sure there are business opportunities for some but for most if they remain on the island they will live and die as their ancestors did. Poor by our standards but rich in culture and the knowledge they are good people. Crime is almost non-existent. I love that especially after living in this area.

My kids and I came to this area from Monterey, CA. Small area with very little crime. As far as I can remember there was probably a murder every five years as an average. I am a small town person. (GAG!) I grew up in a small town in NJ. Left there and went to college in CA. and remained on the Western part of the US ever since. I spent 6 years in Washington State where my kids were born. I moved back to CA. when I left. The rain was very depressing even though we tried to make the best of it.A clear beautiful day in the Pacific Northwest would wipe out a month of bad
rainy days.

Yes, you are among the few I have met who were born in the DC area. You sound as though this is the only area for you. There are some people who love the city environment and some of us do not. (We can talk about this area at a later time)

I don't have any pictures in digital form to send you. I am usually the one taking the pictures and so I don't have any portrait type photos to send. I will send you a representation of what I look like. I just signed up for this service and failed to realize I would need a picture I could post or one I could send upon request. I apologize for that.

I have written a book and not realized it. I will close for now. I hope your day is going well. (Ed Hicks lies so much he could go on & on)

Oh, I am a Program Analyst and work for the Fed Gov't. Location, Alexandria.

Take care, Ed

Your ad says you have children but they are not at home. I like children, but I am not interested in the kids' thing any more. I hope that doesn't offend you because I have outgrown the Mom routine!

I enjoy the part time teaching and have two classes for the summer semester. I grew up in the DC area. I know that is hard to believe because it seems as if no one was really born here.

I have taken some time by myself to reflect on my life. For the most part, it has been fine. I can live with myself for most of my life's actions. I needed time to myself to reflect on some information I received Friday. (You found out you were BUSTED and being watched maybe?) I received a message from one of my Ex's relatives telling me they realize there are two sides to every story and to take care of my self. That meant the world to me. I loved those folks. They accepted me for who I was and could tell I was real in my feelings for them. God, I feel so much better. With that positive note, I know what I must do. I knew before but thinking about who I am and what others think of me has a lot of bearing and merit. Value beyond belief. (All these statements are probably a PLANT by Hicks for the benefit of whoever is reading his emails, to make himself sound like a good guy and throw suspicion off himself. This is a TYPICAL Online Predator move when they know they are being found out!)

> I must tell you that I am not ready for a relationship. I (as crazy as it sounds) still have feelings for my Ex. She has many problems as do most of us but one cannot change love over-night. I know we will never be together again due to what she has done with relatives and friends. She took the low road with the entire break up stuff. I am not about that and her relatives know that and have stated that to me. (Why did you marry her then Ed? If you aren't ready for a relationship why are you carrying on 3-4 at the same time?)

She never trusted me anyway. If only she knew, I would not and have never cheated on anyone I was in a relationship with. (LIE) That is just not, what I am about nor has it ever been. (Backwards psychopathic talk. Reverse this last sentence for the truth) I guess I aggravated the situation when I realized she was tracking my every move on our computer, telephone, etc. Followed me when I left the house. Questioned me if I was at the hardware store longer than she thought I should. I never once would entertain those kinds of thoughts about her. (of COURSE not! She was honest - you weren't) Life gets unbearable under those circumstances. I would sign up for a service like the one we met on just to drive her crazy. I would sign up and never remember or have any intention to deal with it. (LIE!!) She would see the log in and I would set her off. She should have realized I was always there with her. When would I ever have time to have a relationship? I knew she was utilizing a keystroke program so why would I ever think of exploring that avenue. I never answered any mail or intended to. (when you were locked in a room with your computer - or from your job? This is an outright lie told for his benefit because he knew he was being monitored) (Never wrote down the login or password) Just a way to let her know she should not be doing things like that. I know if you were under that kind of suspicion it would bother you as well. I never looked at another woman since we declared we would be a couple. She never could understand that a person can be faithful and love her. (Certainly not YOU, Ed)

> What she does has no reflection on what I do. (Bull! this whole email is for her benefit since you know she's on to you) Until I get past these feelings, I do not really need a love interest. I am sorry if I in any way lead you on. That was not my intent. I guess I was looking for a friend to talk to and maybe go out with later just for female companionship. So, saying that I understand if you discontinue writing to me. You have a life to live and wasting time with a person who has other dreams is not a good thing for you. I guess I am what you would call a person who has baggage. I will continue with my plans for the future since I know she has and probably always had other plans for herself. I just wish we could have talked and reasoned with each other about what life meant to us both. I am retiring in Feb and pursuing my dream of living in the Bahamas Islands. We may lose substantial $$ with some property we purchase together but there are other places to buy there. I have had it with the hustle and bustle of this area. Life has so much to offer in the island way of living life. I want to learn the lessons of the islands and ease into a better way of life. (With someone else's money, Ed? Who are you going to con in the Bahamas?)>

> You asked me where I lived. Well, I rented a room in a nice house with a private entrance and the whole nine yards. There is one feature I had not planned on: she had other reasons for renting me the space. Actually, it is more than a room; it has full appliances, separate bedroom, etc. Since I turned her down it is best that I find somewhere else to live. It could have been a great situation for me until I saved enough money to purchase a boat. Than I would live on it until time to leave. Oh well, I cannot be bought for money or sexual favors. I guess I could say I am not a prostitute for any reason. (LOL!!! How about parasite?or predator?) No sense in giving addresses at this point since we could not be a love interest. (The USPS doesn't deliver to your van, Ed) In addition, as soon as I can find another place (another target) I will not be at that address anyway. That renders this type of information null and void.

Wow; double/triple wow...from a proposed trip to the Spy Museum to a dissertation on Ed's baggage. Interesting to say the very least.

From past experience when a woman begins learning of reasons not to trust the man she marries, she starts looking, as she well should, for other misrepresentations. Maybe your ex didn't like what she found, which prompted her to start investigating more. Could that be, Ed? A marriage should be based on trust and honesty or should it according to Ed's ideal relationship?

I cannot relate to being under suspicion because I've never done anything for anyone to be suspicious of. As I would have told you, had we gotten that far in a relationship, my life is an open book, I welcome a background check, and I would have asked if I could have had one done on you prior to any committed relationship. Had you told me that I could not, I would have wished you a good life with someone else immediately. I know of too many women who have been burned badly by online relationships that turn in to a supposed commitment.

I found your answers to my questions about your previous relationship(s) to be a bit disconcerting especially when you said your last ex misrepresented herself from the beginning. Your summary of her being controlling and your being the perfect laid-back man "in love with love" was not too plausible. Why did you marry this controlling counterfeit woman in the first place when you knew was a "bust" relationship from the beginning? She must have had something to offer you. (let's guess what that thing was). On the other hand, you portrayed the mother of your children in a perfect light even though she was a drug addict/alcoholic. Having to save your own children by getting away from the "Great Gal" drug addict alcoholic made little sense. It seems as if you have not only have baggage, but you also have a few overfilled trunks.

Actually, you misrepresented yourself to me, didn't you by telling me it was over between you and your ex and now you have feelings for her. After a weekend of reflection, you came to these conclusions? And, I also see you have ads on three different sites, using the same Screen Name and/or city, and all of those ads vary in answers to specifics too, including your age, birthdate, and your marital status. Now which is it, are you 52 or 53; are you a Pisces or a Gemini? Are you divorced or are you separated?

Regardless of whether you still have feelings for your 'ex' or not or whether you ever had any feelings for her at all, it sounds like you are no angel, Ed by putting ads online while you were a married man.

Adventurer06, you should give up the online playing for a while until you get your life straightened out and concentrate on making some reforms; use your brain instead of the that "sweet spot not on the list" as you describe as your best feature on match.com. You've probably done a little more than "aggravate a situation"; it sounds more like you have inflamed, provoked, roused; baited, angered, incensed, infuriated, and outraged.

Good luck, Ed, it seems as if you might need some.

Some emails between "Lynn" one of Hick's targets and Hicks just days PRIOR to and days AFTER his marriage to Sandra (wife #7). Sandra confronts "Lynn" at the end - as Sandra has found out about his other women.... but not his other wives, yet.

Good Morning to You as well!

I know you love this weather! You can windsail in your backyard!

Today is kind of a quiet day. Only a few things on my agenda, so it will allow me to consentrate on other "administrative duties"—whatever that is!! But I can assure you it is not golf!!

My weekend was bittersweet. It rained ALL weekend, which of course is not a good thing. Parts of Roanoke flooded again and I have a nice crop of mushrooms in my yards. But I know sun is coming....I'm just not sure when! This coming weekend I may go to Myrtle Beach--and if I do that, I expect only sunny weather!! This Sunday, I worked on picture albums some more. Old pictures this time. Some of the people are dead, so it was kind of sad. I also cleared out some things for the trash folks to pick-up on Monday morning-that way I couldn't change my mind.

Remember asking me to see the first Harry Potter movie with you and it never happened?
When the movie was released in Spring, 2002 I bought it. The last week of last May you had planned to come visit (until you again decided I was the evil "email demon" and blew it off). I had hoped for us to see the movie then. I had ordered Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Jelly Beans and some chocolate frogs for the occassion. I have now officially thrown out the food items. I had also found a wonderful rebel flag last Fall that I had intended to send you for Lee-Jackson-King Day this year. Again, due to circumstances beyond my control, I was not able to accomplish that--so it also went in the trash this weekend. So as you see....it has been a little bittersweet for me. But that's okay. Necessary actions. And now I am looking for the sun outside, and have maintained my inner sun thoughout!

You are quite a safe person to confide in. I have found being the same type of person, it is not often that I find folks in which to confide. (The Online Disinhibition Effect at work) In fact, as close as I am to the YaYa's and my sisters—I never tell them very much of consequence unless I need a sounding board to think out loud. It is kind of on a "need to know basis." I share a lot of frivolous things-to give the illusion of confiding. They need that because of confiding in me-they will actually ask why I never share things-so I found that frivolity tends to deflect that for them. See-we all have ways of achieving peace in our lives!!

So I guess I am taking a very long path to get to the cornerstone of this diatribe-thank you for being a safe confidante for me. I can’t say that you are always safe in other ways-but in this way—you are!! LOL!! (because he DOESN'T REALLY CARE)

I have a meeting I need to get ready for-so I have to run. I look forward to additional communications with you today-before you leave for the city of gold!!

Have a wonderful day. Take care. Be safe.

Good Morning.


Nothing like getting Fridays mail on Monday.

We had gotten rain all weekend. Thought it was supposed to stop by yesterday. Well, no one told Mother Nature. Smile (please someone whip Ed every time he does that smile crap!)

Hey, you tell me stuff because I am safe. Even if we lived in the same area with the same friends it still would be safe to tell me. I have always been a closed mouth and folks seem to get that impression after meeting me. That too can cause problems especially in the work place. As the EXTREME RULER OF MY KINGDOM in Calif. they would still come and tell me things I would be afraid or embarrassed to tell anyone, let alone my boss. Oh well, they were the good times. The times I could go and play golf from 10:30 until 1:30 in the afternoon. THE DAYS OF WINE AND ROSES. Where did that come from. Oh well. Smile (aggggggg!!)

You have a good day. I am heading to Fort Knox tomorrow so lets get in as much contact so I don't have Lynn withdrawals. (REMEMBER THIS LINE - He uses it on "CAROL" in an email sent the same day!! and btw - he was NOT going to Ft. Knox. He was getting married in 7 days to wife #7 - Sandra!!)

Subject: RE: Good Morning

I'm good today. I sure would have loved to sleep past 5:30 this morning though....it was cool and perfect sleeping weather!

We had the storm yesterday and then it rained some overnight, but actually the sun is out right now. In Roanoke yesterday, there were parts of the city that received over 3 inches of rain in that afternoon storm! I don't know how much rain I had, but the puppies' empty wading pool had enough water in it that they wanted to stand in it-maybe 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch.

How is your weekend stacking up? For the first time in several weeks, I have absolutely no solid plans. And to be honest, that feels pretty good!

Today will be a good day. I have several personal things to take care of by phone-which I try to avoid at work, but there are times.......

I need to schedule my follow-up testing next month for the ### irregularities. That is one of many things that I allowed to drive me bonkers over the last several months. But I have no control over the results-so I am thinking positively about the outcome. You are the only person I have mentioned this to, and I am not sure why I told you (Your gut was telling you WARNING "Lynn") Folks here who care about me would "fuss" over me and ask way too many questions if I shared it with them. You being the cool, logical person (detached & uncaring unless he wants something from you?) does have its down-side-I know you won't react so it is safe to tell you.

I also need to make room reservations for ### and ###'s ##'s June wedding in Richmond. It is one of those big, catholic, events that lasts all afternoon and night. ### offered ### $ to elope, but the intended and her family really wants the wedding. So they are counting on me to be there for them! LOL!!

And then I also need to get my puppies into the groomers in the near future-the last vestiges of their winter fur in driving me crazy-I just can't seem to get the remains completely combed out!

So that's my day. I will fit in "work" as I can! LOL!! Kidding!!

I hope your day in Crystal City is a good one. I know that you so love long, drawn-out meetings! I hope for your sake this isn't one of them.

Have a great weekend. Take care of yourself. Be safe. Talk to you later......

Quoting "Hicks, Charles E Mr APD":



Good Morning

I was wondering if you thought I had forgotten about you. No, I have not. No access to my mail and I could not remember your work email address. (Ed was ON HIS HONEYMOON!!) I finally put it into my Palm Pilot this morning where it should have been all along. (but Ed -your WIFE will find it there!!)

Thank you very much for the card. I am so glad you had a wonderful time in Myrtle Beach. I like your adventurous spirit. You are also probably one of the most liberal persons I have met here on the East Coast. You should be proud of yourself for not letting color infest your thinking like so many others here have. You have no limits and that must give you a great feeling. I bet there were some great looking bikes there. I love motorcycles but would not own one here.
Traffic, Ill prepared motorist and narrow roads have tainted my thoughts on doing that.

I came back from the Piggy Bank as broke as when I left here. They were not handing out free samples or anything. What is becoming of this great country we live in. Smile. (No you just MARRIED another PIGGY BANK!!)

I will write more later. Need to dive into this email and take care of anything important or that others deem important. (like the other women and my new wife and more online dating too!!)

Be good and have a great day. Again, thanks for the greeting.

Good Morning Ed Hicks!

Forget about me?? You?? Never!!

Select not to contact me?? You?? Quite possible!!

Not knowing your holiday weekend plans or your assignment for this week, I made the assumption that you would contact me as time allowed! And you did!!

I hope you enjoyed your weekend as much as I did. I had a very experiential, fun filled, time!! I have already written a letter to the Sun Times in SC expressing my outrage that helmets are not required in that state. There were 8 deaths during Harley Week and 4 deaths during Black Bikers Weekend. All involved head injuries. Outrageous. I am also considering contacting my Congressman with the idea that it should be a national law--I am sure States' rights prohibit that--but I am still feeling outrage! Folks keep telling me I can't save the world--and I keep telling them they can't know that unless I stop trying!! We all have to believe in change and we all have to believe we can be the instruments of that change....that's why the 80's took us on a nose-dive back in time--no one looked beyond themselves!! (But Lynn, Ed is still living there- On PLANET ED!)

Ooops! Sorry. Tirade alert!!

Anyway. Write when you have the opportunity. I miss knowing your life..... (IF ONLY YOU REALLY KNEW!! ED'S GOT SO MANY 'LIVES')

Take Care. Be safe. Smile....I will find another funny for you yet.....

I am disappointed but that's okay. I am so out of touch with you now that a day won't have a significant impact. And no, I am not whining or complaining. I am just trying to be as honest with you as I know how. I know that is not always a good thing, but not expressing my feelings never improved things either. So-I will look forward to Saturday.

My meeting this morning dragged on - and on - and on. It was supposed to go from 11:30 to 1:00. I returned to the office at 3:00. I hate it when a very large male ego is in the room-everything becomes a power struggle. (wait until you hear about the REAL Ed's EGO!!!) I told a couple of the men (Mr. Ego had already booked) as I was leaving that it would have been simpler to just mark trees outside and be done with it! It is a benevolent organization with wonderful services and goals, but this guy thinks it is all about him. These type meetings always take a while for me to let go of and leaves a very bad disposition of my temper! I will be over it in a couple of hours- (he will make you pay covertly for your feminism by screwing & lying to you. Note- Psychopaths always make their targets 'pay' covertly in some way for something they don't like about the target. Usually AUTONOMY which in this case is "Lynn's" feminism)

So give me an idea about what time to expect you on Saturday and I will see you then. In the mean time, take care, be safe, and drive carefully on Saturday.

That was not my first choice but I had promised them they could have their friends over for the Eat Out.......... See what I mean about having a life........

I know you don't stereo-type people-unless they are teenagers!!

The concert sounded great! The weather here rained all evening and night-so I am glad the weather held for Willie! I know Willie has two new albums out (I read it in Time), but I haven't heard either.

It's good that you had fun!

I am running out the door for another meeting-different kind of Board (or bored) this time out. But I will write more when I return.

Hey-you never did say if you still plan to have dinner with me on Friday in that you are going to the wedding festivities on Saturday? (Ed has too many targets ...er... women in the air, Lynn!!)

First the weather was absolutely the best. Couldn't ask for a better day. The concert was outside with folks sitting on the grass and also there was seating under the roof. I had an inside seat (if you could call it inside) which seemed the prudent thing to do given the weather for the past two months. I never rained a drop. The temperature was about 80 degrees and perfect for all seating. The folks out on the grassy hills were popping the cans of beer and eating. We inside were could not take coolers there but could suck down a few beers, wine or whatever else you cared to drink.

On to Willie. He was the same old Willie. He talked more of the songs that he used to sing but that did not take away from his musical genius. He was great. I did not realize how well he played the guitar. He man can really play. I thoroughly enjoyed his performance as well as most who were there. I would do it again today if I had the chance. Well, maybe not since it is raining in buckets outside this morning.

I managed to avoid the guilt by not thinking about kids or other responsibilities. They are almost grown and if they cannot take life at this point they will never be able to in the future. I have done all I can, they have to do the rest.

So, no guilt. Had a great time. Willie was great as always. Only received a few funny glances but they were from folks that would have given me funny glances at Safeway. Smile. Oh, by the way I am not the one doing the stereotyping, it is others. I could care less what music anyone likes. I was just giving some inner thought to the fact that I would and almost was the only Black person there. I did see two others. Not bad for back here where color seems to be a dividing rod. (aren't you liberal? Predators come in all colors, genders & religions Ed!!) Glad you don't feel that way. :)

Well, I have given you all the facts of last night. Great, memorable and lots of fun. To me it was a lot of fun. Maybe to you a trip to the river with fireworks would be a measure of how much fun one can have. (Okay, just poking a little fun.)

I hope your day is filled with slack time or should I say time to breathe and formulate good thoughts as Directors should.

Chat with you later.

Good Morning!

Yes, if you are happy-then that brings a smile to my face as well. Thank you for the music this morning-always a good start to the day! "I can name that tune in 5 notes-"

Looks like you will be able to play in the water this weekend, if you had any plans to do so-the weather will hold mostly on Saturday and all day on Sunday!

I am going to a cook-out tonight. A small gathering-so I will have a good time. I made little cucumber sandwiches last night-and a jug of margaritas-to contribute to the cause. Wish you could come out and play with us - The Ya-Ya's are going to be there-but we aren’t wearing out hats and glasses this time-since it is at a private home. We only do that in public!! We really aren't right in the head, are we!

I do hope your day is more fun than yesterday's. I am going to try and complete a plan for my Board and a report for the Board of Supervisors-both meet next week. If I don't finish-I can do some stuff later on this weekend (if it rains on Saturday afternoon).

I miss you Ed. But that's a good thing, is it not? It reflects how I feel--(wait until you find out the TRUTH!!)

So. Have a terrific day. Take care. Stay safe. And laugh out loud at least a few times, won't you?

Being there sounds like a great idea. ### has a friend coming in from Calif. Tonight (or should I say tomorrow morning) Actually Sat. morning by than. He will be here for a week. He visited us last year as well. Nice kid. I have known him since he was about 7 years old. He and ### have remained fast friends through the years. He wants to come here for college next year. I don't think I can deal with more teens. If I recall you and I talked about that very situation last year. (Your latest wife is helping there, isn't she Ed?)

My weekend will be a little windsurfing if the wind blows. That does not happen to often here.

Sounds like you will have a good time tonight at the party. Yes, I wish I could be there as well. Schedules will have to be revamped so we can have some face time.

You just smile a smile for me today. You are loved toooooooooo. (but not by ED!!! his love is mostly for HIMSELF!!)

Alright now, you need to "re-frame" this proposition--make it work for you. Think about welcoming ## friend to come and go to school here, with the stipulation that he and ## are roommates elsewhere. If they have the motivation to hold jobs and pay rent or whatever, then you are one step closer to emancipation! I know you that somehow, you believe this would come back to bite you in the butt…..but if you are serious about actually charging your kids rent anyway (oh please, Ed would take money from a poor man- his own kid was no biggie!)-- they may want to go ahead and look at living elsewhere—and this way they would have another contributor toward expenses!

I know nothing about the actual situation, but speaking in generalities, it sounded like a viable option for you to consider! If not now-then at some future time in your children’s academic careers!

Man--why does a social worker believe that everyone want to hear what they have to say!

Sorry. But if I hold my words in too long-they contribute heavily to ulcerations!

Regardless-you will have fun this weekend. Kids are fascinating-especially if you like them!

You offer sound advice. I have thought of situations like that and wish they would come up with a solution like that themselves. I will throw that out to them when ### is here and see what they say. Rent in this area is so darn high. Not like over your way.

Hey, what are we if we cannot accept advice from the ones we care about. Even though I may not act like it, I do listen to sound advice--- (YOU DO!? How about getting divorces, telling the truth, not playing vulnerable women and being a human being to people, Ed?)

This is Friday at 10:15am and I am tired: maybe just tired of this place for the week.

We are supposed to have rain this evening and possibly throughout the weekend. If it rains you cannot cut the South Forty. I know that would break your heart.

Hey, I don't know how long I will be here today. If we misconnect you have a wonderful weekend. Know that I am thinking of you always. (GAG!!)

Trust me on this, sweetness--showers this evening, sun tomorrow, showers later tomorrow afternoon and evening, and then sun on Sunday (hence the name! HaHa). So play outside this afternoon and tomorrow morning-and all day Sunday!

You may be tired--but one thing I am sure of is that you have "retirementitis!" But kick back early if it is raining, watch a movie and nap through most of it-that is a wonderful afternoon. If it is still sunny this afternoon, kick back on a swing, read a little, and nap. It is that kind of down time that will restore your energy for the rest of the weekend!

Take care of yourself. Stay safe. And know that there is a caring aura sent to surround, always. Talk to you on Monday!

I am about mid-way through Harry's book. My mom thought it was too "verbose" (her word-not mine), but she liked it anyway. I am thoroughly enjoying it! But I have forgotten so many details from the first 4 books, that I want to re-read them again! Maybe I will do a "college scan" of the other books again before I finish this one.

How about you? How do you like this one?

Good Morning Linda

I just wanted to say I had a great time with you Saturday. I think I realize what is missing in my life (ROFLMAO!! Ed you are married for the 7th time to Sandra, what is missing with you is TRUTH & REALITY). I do miss the verbal conversations we used to have almost nightly. Talking at such length with you where time has no value brought that fact back into the picture. Conversations which has no end. Topics that come out of nowhere which lead to an endless flow of serious; funny; political; social conscious issues along with other topics neither of us imagined would transpire. Can I say that was the best part of the time we spent. Naturally pressing my lips to yours at the end was a treat. (GAG ME!! did she pay for everything Ed?) I don't normally have heart pounding experiences but that was one. Smile. (how about being questioned or called on your lies? running from other wives & women?)

I just wanted you to know what I thought and felt of our meeting.

Hope you day goes very well. I don't have much planned but there again this is Monday and things have a habit of popping up.

Be good and take care. I trust your drive home Sunday was without incident.

Good Morning Ed!

I am starting to write this in the morning, but there is a good chance that "transmit" will come after the noon hour! It was busy this morning. I got a late start from home because of a couple of phone calls-people who tried to check in last night but my phone was busy then because of folks checking in!! LOL!! I guess it is good to be missed on some level! I mean, my gosh, I was only gone 2 1/2 days!! I guess the craziness of last week's full moon still has folks on edge and just wanted to make sure all was well. It gets kind of scary to think that I am the voice of sanity!! Then I rushed into a meeting, barely on time, and the same male ego was there that tormented me last Thursday. This time, each time he spoke I just imagined him as a two year old with a dirty diaper whining to his mommy.....it allows me a different perspective and it didn't get under my skin during this meeting. Is that sick or what? (um...yes)

Yesterday driving home was quite an experience for me. I think I had what is considered an emotional outburst. I cried. I cussed. I ranted. I raved. And by Charlottesville, I found some level of peace. It is truly amazing that passerby folks did not call the state police about a crazy woman-they must have assumed I was singing with the radio!! The cause for this unlikely behavior, you ask? Saturday. (Oh god you were with Ed!! you poor target)

I realized much the same thing as you. And I decided life and being a grown-up totally sucks.

I loved the time we had together. It flew by. I realized, once again, why I know you are the true love of my life. Regardless of outcome. And that set off a wave of diverse emotion that I was not quite prepared for. I thought I was in much better control of myself. Guess I was wrong. But by Charlottesville, I stopped, got a caffeine drink (I think the teller thought I was stoned because my eyes were so glassy - because you'd been zapped by a mind numbing emotional PREDATOR!), and cranked up the stereo the remaining 3 hours, and all was well. When I got home, happy puppies greeted me and I picked up the cards of my life, as I have been dealt, and the few wayward tears that have since made an appearance periodically have been banished!

(Guess all this story was a little more than you had anticipated. Sorry.)

But I am okay. I simply look forward to the next opportunity that we have to share our pounding hearts. I'm just glad you didn't see the tears as I walked away Saturday night..... (you will have more to cry about soon)

Have a great Monday afternoon. I need to get my head back down to tasks at hand.....I have a grant to write today and tomorrow and an appeal decision to write-up before Wednesday. Plus, I want to go home early on at least one day and plant my summer pansies-they aren't dead yet, but they soon will be if I can't get them in the ground before the rains come again! Aarrgggg. I refuse to complain about the rain, but please! More sunshine!

Take care of yourself. Stay safe. Write when you have the opportunity.

Probably not the forum to say this but so I will keep it short.

I WANTED TO STAY WITH YOU BUT HARNESSED MY DESIRE FOR VARIOUS REASONS (Ed, you had to GET HOME TO YOUR WIFE YOU LIAR!). You know me by now: I did not want to appear sexually aggressive or have you thinking that is all I wanted. (they ALL say this- they ALL say its more than sex..... Always proclaiming their "love" or moral, chivalrous nature. IT'S A TOTAL LIE SAID ONLY TO MAKE YOU BELIEVE IN IT) Sort of like the first time we spent time together. Full of doubt, apprehension and now add a lot of guilt in with it and you have my feelings. Life has dealt us a dirty blow and I don't know how to get around it. Not your fault for sure and I refuse to take the blame as well. How one gets around the crap and back to reality, life as we see it, normalcy or at least feeling normal as defined by me.........

I don't know. I do know I do not want to hurt you. (again, a typical LINE.... he's already hurting her, just reeling her in for more!) I think there has been too much of that without provocation on either of our parts.

You get the gist of what I am saying. (Predators LOVE to let their Targets FILL IN THE BLANKS FOR THEM. THIS IS CLASSIC!) I hope so since I have to run downstairs to a meeting.

Be sweet and think of the 90 + degrees you will have tomorrow.. Smile

Subject: RE: I had a great time with you ..........................

There is never a proper forum for expressing emotions in this crazy world. That's why we do the best we can with what we have. You have no idea how nervous I was in seeing you again. It was worse than the initial meeting. This time was a type of closing of a gaping hole in time. I was most afraid of not feeling in reality what was left in limbo a year ago. I guess that is one reason I was not prepared for the emotional rollercoaster that ultimately came for me.

All I know is that if and when the proper time comes for us, it will happen (never Lynn never).

And what I can tell you is that fate lies in your hands much more than in mine-for many reasons-some obvious, some not.

But there are several "truisms" that exist for me. One, you are the true love of my life. Two, despite the pain and loss, my unconditional love endured and still endures. (his is all conditional - you are playing right into his game!) Three, I am always content and therefore happy when we have time together. I believe that it feels "right" when we are together. Four, with you, I take what comes and expect no more (because you aren't getting more than player's lines & a quickee). Hurting me would come from dishonesty, deceit, and planting false hopes. (YES IT WOULD!!! Get a clue, he's a PREDATOR) And finally, you must realize that I believe myself to be fatally flawed, so I have no real expectations in a relationship. The abandonment always comes. (The target blames herself, just what predators want!)

So there you have five pieces of the inner wall of which I willingly allow no breeches. Not that they are any big surprise to you, since I do wear my heart on my sleeve. However, I do try to protect myself in some manner-real or imagined. Now just seemed to be the time open the inner sanctum a little bit......

You know your heart. Listen to it. The rest will follow. Unless your willing deceive or lie to me (he already has), or worse-to yourself, it will be okay. Like I said before: Regardless of outcome. ("Lynn" had already been confronted once by wife #7 but went back for more!)

And I thank you for your intentions to not hurt me. (Lynn will take that back since he ALREADY has... read on..)

Are your relationships always this complicated? (YES!!) Or do I just promote that in people!!

Hope your meeting went well this afternoon. I categorically DO NOT look forward to 90 degrees by mid-week. But I will take the sun on any terms for a few days!! Enjoy it yourself! At least I have mountains, cool breezes, and trees to offset it all!! (Oops....sorry, didn't mean to sound "gloaty")

More later.....

You are correct in so many of your statements. Especially ones which pit the heart against reality (surely not YOUR heart, Ed) I still have ties here and responsibilities I wish I did not have. (YOU? ED?) Smile. I cannot ask you for time. That is totally unfair and unrealistic. So, despite the fact that I could drive the kids out, retire, purchase a place in the woods so things looked right and than move in with you. That sound is coming from my heart and not based on reality. I am trying to think into this and it is not working except increasing tension which will surely give me a headache soon. I will leave it for now. Know that I really care for you no matter where or how we turn out. That is not a death sentence for us nor is it a, "I promise".

To answer one other question embedded in your note. No, you are not the first to come into my life and not have it frothed with turmoil. You are not the cause whereas the one other time (HOW MANY? YOU TALKING ABOUT YOUR WIVES? AND THE MONEY YOU TOOK?) this person just could not take no for an answer. (typical - the predator plays "VICTIM") I believe we talked about it briefly during one of your late night chats. (Which lasted for hours) Smile.

You know me, I just want to live my life and not screw up anyone else's (this HAS to be a joke, Ed). Peace at almost any cost is my motto. (yeah, keep your mouth shut and don't expose ole' Ed!!) Don't hurt anyone except the type persons we were talking about on Saturday............. (for you is that anything FEMALE, Ed?)

Hey, you have a great day. Yes, I like you will welcome the heat if only for a couple days. Smile. It will take a week of 90 + to dry things out here. Hopefully I survive................

Some interesting mail I received to day. There was also a phone message given to my receptionist that implied that I was the "other woman" in a marriage and I would be dealing with the wife today in some form or another.

I left my meeting after becoming physically ill from the phone message. I am at work only because I have a Board meeting tonight. My computer at home crashed last night, again, and I am beginning to believe that it is being sabotaged in some way-but I am too cyberly challenged to even know how to tell.

Things always come in three's, and if this is the 3rd, it is quite a doozy. I could use some input about no--

I have sent mail to you. I called an left a message on your work phone. (Not sure when that was. It was during Xmas and we corresponded since than. I am not sure what is happening with mail. Twice I got out of office replies and can understand that. Other times I have just not gotten a response. (typical predator lies - btw, how can call your girlfriend from your MARITAL HOME?)

This email you sent to me had no way of replying. Not sure what that is or about that is why I am using a new message. (PROJECTION!)

Sorry to hear about your sister. No cancer is a good thing though. How is she doing in general with the medical things going on? Tumors can be awful even when found in time. I am glad nothing more has come of it than what she is presently experiencing. I know that is bad enough. Hopefully she can fully recover from the surgery and her hearing comes back to normal. Darn, we are getting to the age when all kinds of things happen both mental and physically.

One of the notes I sent to you was about a friend of mine from my home town who died. (NOTE: NO FRIEND OF ED'S DIED!! His wife #7, Sandra's, FATHER was dying of cancer at the time!!) He and I are the same age. While there I as told of many friends who have died of many different diseases. Cancer and heart trouble being among the tops. I don't fear death and really am still in pretty good shape physically. I often wonder about the things we have no idea they are going on inside us. Cancer has no mercy on anyone. We can be a picture of health on the outside and have things that can kill us in short periods of time. No of us want to leave this earth. I especially don't want to leave until at least my kids are out and doing okay. At least that would give me some sort of peace of mind in knowing they will be okay.

Yes, our situation stresses me out as well. (BUSTED ED?) I am not sure what the answers are. What happens to me is of very little concern. (Don't make us all laugh) What happens to you and how you feel is what bothers me. I told you once before to take care of yourself. Loving someone is wanting the best for them. I want the best for you and this situation seems to be doing the opposite for you. I won't tell you what to do but will stand by any decision you make in regards to us. (OMG Ed, this is beyond TWISTED! You make us SICK!)

Tell your sister I said hello and to get well soon. (Ain't he just Mr. Sensitive?)

Honey, you do what you have to. (Because I sure as heck do whatever I feel like with whoever I feel like whenever I feel like.) Love you always.

Ed

Is it true that you are married? I think if I hear this from you I can move on. It sounds like that's what you want me to do anyway.

There are two things that bother me.

(1) Why haven't you send my daughter something back from the ticket she purchase for the Hawaii for us. (you will never see DIME ONE from Mr. Hicks!)

(2) Why am I hearing that you are married. I would not be upset if you are. I want you to be happy. From the sound of it you would want me to happy as well if I were married.

I think we both know that something's aren't meant to me.

We need to get real with each other. I would never hurt you Ed.

I Love you too much.

ED HICKS continued: A Great Example of the LACK of Closure to be Expected with a Cyberpath

Despite Ed Hicks' "inspired" farewell letter to *Carol* (see post on this site: ED HICKS: "Adieu Adieu" AWARD WINNING!!!) she continues to correspond with him in an attempt to gain closure (and possibly get an explanation for Hicks' behavior, treatment, etc.)

*************
What is sad is that rarely do targets get the closure they need and deserve from these cyberpaths. Hicks, like most of his breed, continues to toy with *Carol* like a cat with dying mouse, via email. Many cyberpaths will cut off communication and run or think up "dramatic" problems (like an 'email' from their 'cousin' saying the cyberpath has died in a car accident or been called up for military duty.... etc).

Sometimes they just say "my partner found out" and block your email and IMs so you are left dangling with questions. Or say they will be back 'when things calm down' only to never appear again! Attempts to gain some further explanation or closure often cause them to charge the target with stalking and obsessive behavior. (click here to see a wonderful article: "THE SMEAR CAMPAIGN OF THE ABUSER") They will tell their partners that the TARGET started the relationship, planted or made up the 'relationship' and/or that they have changed, found religion and will cut all ties with the TARGET. (For some of the typical 'lines' these predators use click HERE)

In reality, the target is left with unanswered questions and often unpaid debts in this horrible pattern of Emotional Rape. The target is made to look like a fool while the Cyberpath either goes on to new targets or buys some time with their partner and with good behavior and in a few months or years -- goes right back on the prowl while learning to be more covert and cover their past misteps. - *Fighter*

My love -

I've started this email several times. But tears keep getting in my way. My thoughts are I have been waiting for you to tell me it's over and I would be relieved. But that's not the case. I knew when you left Monterey things would never be the same between us. But I wanted to believe in my heart that you would love me enough to say hey forget about circumstances and let's try after a few years of being apart.

I'm crazy to believe that might still happen. I also want to feel sorry for myself or go do something stupid like sleep with someone I don't love. But that's not me. I hate empty love making. (Sorry to say *Carol* - Ed doesn't)

I haven't had the desire to be with anyone accept you. So much for freedom. Not sure where I'm going with this email. But It's best I leave work early today. I need sometime to myself.

You stay dry from the rain.

Honey, I am sorry for the heavy heart I have caused you. Believe me I feel the same way. I just know after reviewing your last few emails that this was the only course of action I could take. Sometimes loving a person is putting them before yourself and understanding what is best for both of you. (And I want to look like a great guy while I dump you!)

I too do not know what to do or where we go from here. All I ever wanted was for you to be happy and I have not provided that for you when I thought I could. Distance has taken its toll on both of us.

I want you to move on. If we were meant to be we will be. I believe in destiny; you have a strong faith in God. Distance does not change things that are meant to be. (Ed where are you GETTING this claptrap?)

I sit here with tears in my eyes and a heart with a huge chunk missing. (and laughing my butt off - free sex and you paid all the rest of my bills when I was with you!) You were the best thing to happen to me as far back as I can remember. Take with you the fact that I will always love you. That means Always. (Or at least until I hit "Send")

To keep in touch when our hearts are much calmer is something I would like to do. You be the judge of how you handle communication between us. For now with feelings so apparently close to the surface I am not sure writing right now is the best thing. It only serves to refresh the hurt we both feel.

*Carol*, I love you very much. You take care of yourself. Find happiness and be happy. (And stop writing me because if you find out who & what I really am you are going to feel even worse)

I have one thing to ask you. It's regarding my daughter. ### really admires you. She thought enough of you to buy you a ticket to Hawaii. She constantly ask about you and shows concern about your health.

Can you at least send her half of the money she spend on the ticket?

Please consider this.

I know you are a good person and will send something. I respect you as a man and Father. (Respect is the one thing Ed Hicks deserves NONE of ) I would not like her to know that we are not seeing each other yet. She will be disappointed.

Just arrived back from travel. I could view your email but could not respond until now. Our Internet portal is all messed up. (Lies, Hicks was married to wife #7 and couldn't & wouldn't respond to *Carol*)

I would not forget ### in all of this. (I will take care of the money to ###. - NOTE: Ed never sent dime one for that ticket) Paying for two kids at once is a drain. (Wife #7, Sandra, was helping pay for Ed's kids) The kids tuition rates are up along with everything else associated with college and it is sucking me dry. They are talking about increasing rates by 25% next year. They are pricing us poor folks right out of school. Rest assured I would never tell ### anything about us. You handle that end of things. (Yeah, tell your daughter her mom's been conned)

I trust you find what you are looking for and need. (Ed sure did! Next!)

It is hard for me to sit back and not look upon you as my partner. I will try to be as objective as possible still given the fact that I love you very much. Giving you freedom to move your life in different directions as you require it was done out of love. Not what I wanted but when you love someone you do what is best for them and not yourself. (Typical 'backwards talk' of a psychopath - reverse this last sentence for the TRUTH)

So, on a personal note what is the problem or what is wrong? Remember, we were in love, lovers, and friends. You can tell me what poses the statement, “ not doing so well” and I will give you my opinion or maybe how to solve it. I already know it will not be what my heart wants to tell you but being a friend I am obligated to give you the best advice I can. (GAG!)

Hope your trip to LA went well and you had fun if that is what the trip was all about.

Subject: RE: How is your day going?

There is no understanding. I know what feelings are there. You did not make me stay nor did I make you. Yes, you are correct, we had freedom all the time but loving someone wouldn’t allow us to act on that freedom. That is a matter of choice. Sure missing is one thing but terminating a love affair that has been on going for over 5 years is another. I listened to your letters and they made me notice what you were really saying. So I made a decision based on what I thought was best for you and what was in your letters to me. (Tell her you are married and involved with a couple other women and haven't divorced a couple of your other wives either, Ed!)

I am immersed in this God forsaken place, which I hate. Things here move fast and most of the time without reason. This was just not the time to add a life to mine. (Besides I already am married to a few women and just married #7 a few months ago) Knowing I could not and would not ask you to wait any longer there was only one logical choice to make. If I lost you as a result than that would be on me. If for any reason we endured and could pick up the pieces later I would welcome that, naturally.

I do want you to try it though. I want you to be sure of what life has for you and also if you are missing anything out there. You are a smart girl and will make the correct decisions as far as men are concerned. One thing to remember, I would take you back if you could not make another relationship work. You will always be my friend, lover and the love of my life. (HA HA HA!! how many times a day do you say that Ed?) Nothing could or would ever change that. Let yourself relax, stop feeling like you have lost something. (Because you have not and never will) All I ask is that you be smart in how you deal with men. Take all the precautions you should so you remain healthy. I don’t want to hear any horror stories, which relate to you. I could not deal with you contracting any of the numerous diseases that are out here. We surely cannot tell what a person has by looking at them. (Okay, I will stop the lecture) (Tell her the names of the NUMEROUS partners you had before during & after her so she can tell her DOCTOR Ed!)

I think hearing from you is a lot better than not. So, if we keep in touch that would be the best for me. (I really get off thinking women still BELIEVE my B.S. and it helps me hone my lies) If you find remaining in touch is keeping you from exploring other avenues than by all means let me know and we can discontinue correspondence. (Oh how GALLANT Ed!) I want the very best for you My Love. Get out and look. Satisfy yourself in what is out there and if things turn out to be not what you expected, you know I will be here for you. (I can always use you....again)

Love Always,
Ed

I feel like I have gone through a no fault divorce. My mind, heart and soul is for you and no one else. (like a spider with a fly, *Carol* is now emotionally paralyzed by this cyberpath)

Why would think I want freedom from you when I have had it all along? It's been mine the entire time. (you have also been ALONE all this time too, *Carol*)

However I choose to believe, admire and love you. My feelings have not changed. What is suppose to change my feels for you? Maybe if I can get an understanding. Then I can cope with the hurt and fear that I have of moving on.

Thanks for making this difficult situation make sense to me. I needed to hear that you will still be there or somewhere in my life. I realize that you are trying hard to make the best of your life where you are living at this time. I also realize that isn't where you want to be. Yes, you are right. It would not be wise to bring someone into a place where you are not happy. I understand your feelings. (Ed's married to wife#7 *Carol*!!)

I would not want to be with you unless you where living in a place of happiness in your life. If you were not happy I wouldn't be either. My feels for you are so strong. They scare me. Trust me I have tried to go out and enjoy other men. But when it comes to being intermit my heart or body will go there and it hasn't since the last time we were together in December of last year.
When I met you I had not been intimate for almost three years. Here is where my faith thru prayer came into play. Although we are not married I still maintain my self because I LOVE YOU HONEY.... (Cyberpaths love this: Needy, Trusting, Compassionate! Run *Carol* Run)

So you will not have to wonder about me contracting diseases. There is no one here that has or will ever replace you. Until you tell me you have found someone else and are in a committed relationship. I will continue to wait for you out of respect and love. (*Carol* get tested NOW. Cyberpaths look at women like they are a blow up doll with a pulse)

I would find it hard to share anything about another man with you. I would not like to know anything about you in this area . It would add to the pain. I'm not ready for that at this point. Maybe one day. But it at this point I'm not ready at all.

You are still in my heart and I find it very hard to move a stranger in to replace you. I'm sorry.... (so are we *Carol*)

Love always

ED HICKS - LURED IN WITH HIS OWN METHODOLOGY

(from EOPC, December 2005 - worth a re-read!!)

After Ed Hicks wife #7 (Sandra) kicked him out and started to file charges - she went online with a few "stealth identities" to prove what Hicks was doing. She nailed him trolling online for new targets almost immediately!! Here's one of those times.

Wife #7 is "Pam" and Hicks uses the pseudonym "Steve Sanders" BUSTED!

________________
Pam, I don't know what happened at the other site. I sent pictures and emailed you two times. Well, we have established contact now and can move on. Yes, I wish this weekend I had remained in Alexandria so we could have gone out to dinner and listened to some Jazz. My choice of music. I have been to a couple clubs in Old Town for exactly that very reason. I cannot remember the names of them but I think they were on Duke St.

No, the picture I sent you was on a beach with a shipwreck my dive buddy and I were looking over prior to getting our gear out for a dive on it. The island has numerous beaches like the one I was walking on. My property (that i own WITH MY WIFE!) is on the Caribbean side of the island. I wanted to be there because the land is mostly rock. I will build my house on a rock foundation. More likely to remain in case of direct storms. I will have to do a lot of concrete work so water entry will be easy for windsurfing, sailing and other water sports. The water depth at my shoreline ranges from 7 to 11 ft. Rather deep for maybe normal beach residences but perfect for my purposes. I will send you some pictures of my property at another time. It has palm and coconut trees on it close to the road. Vegetation and wild natural plants will surround the house. Nature does a better job of planting and growing things there than humans. :) (LAZY!!) Flowers there are so beautiful with various colors that allow you to see the true wonders the island has. If you are a nature lover this island will keep you in aw throughout your entire stay.

Okay, I have rambled on for quite some time. I will give you a break so you can tell me more about you. Send pictures when you can. Also, we should set aside some time to meet for a drink, lunch or dinner. A movie or jazz would be great as well.

Take care until the next time.

Ed

Pam, you are a cutie. I was not surprised, just delighted.

See, you pose an interesting question. Water Sports. Yes, one could allow their imagination to run over the edge with that one. I see yours did. :) I won't say what I was thinking when you said that, I will just let it remain there. :) You have the forum on that subject. You can expound on it or leave it alone.

I am so glad you have a great time at the Festival. It must have felt great being outside with the temperature at a pleasant level.

I will join you at the 219 anytime you would like. I will plan around your vacation dates and find something to do. Might be a good time to go to Hatteras. I am supposed to be taking lessons to make the transformation from Windsurfing to Kite surfing. Most of my friends are making the change this year. I think I will love it more than handling a board attached to a large sail.

Back to this subject again. - Do you participate in any water sports? (I guess that is still leading) Scuba diving, snorkeling, swimming, skiing, etc.? We surely don't have to spend or time at a beach. There are other places I would like to take you. We can talk about that when you get back.

I need some feedback from you on what you like doing and where you like going. Also, time would have to factor into those kinds of choices.

Have a great time. I will let you know if I head off to Nags Head or Hatteras. They should have WiFi down there so I can send and receive email at least.

Thanks for the picture. Again, you are a very nice looking lady. :) (you're breathing - that's enough for Ed)

Subject: Re: Vacations are nice

Ed:

An A+ for your guess. I am in Amsterdam. I have been here a few times and love the city with its beautiful canals, history, and art and the people are so warm and hospitable. I stay out of the smoke shops. I am getting way too old for that. It sounds as if you have been here although you do not elaborate. What are your favorite things to see and do? Give me some ideas of places to go. Where did you stay when you were here? Have you been to Rotterdam?

You asked about my private life. I am hiding nothing and will tell you everything about myself and prefer to do that face to face. (like 'YOU ARE BUSTED you ONLINE PLAYER!!' LOL) Frankly that is the way it should be and if goes beyond just gratification for us, I expect it. The reason I talk about discretion is because I am not yet divorced and would appreciate discretion in that area until it is final. I am sure you understand. My divorce will be final very soon.

I was married to a master manipulator, first-class, certifiable low life. He was also pretty lousy and totally controlling in bed and to top that off impotent at times, and those times were 'coming' closer and closer together...excuse my pun! A little humor for you this morning. He was much older than me so his impotence was to be expected. (that's you Ed!) I am glad you and I are the same age. That is such a plus. (Ed you change your age like your underwear)

I will tell you all about him at some point but don't want to waste precious Internet Cafe time talking about Him. I made a terrible mistake but I'm over it.

I am driving Rotterdam for a couple of days to see the sights there and will be back to Amsterdam on Sunday. I will check my mail then. I fly back to Dulles on the afternoon of July 4 and I am looking forward to meeting you at 219 or even some where for dinner prior to our going there.

Until then, take care for now.

Hi Pam
Sounds like you are in Amsterdam. Are you having a good time? Have you been there before or is this your first visit? The museums there are great. Is this a good guess? :)

It is hard to talk about myself. About as hard as writing your own professional resume.

What makes me tick - I think peace makes me tick. I dislike arguments but disagreements are fine. Discussions which have no right or wrong are great. Mental jousting is always a good thing as long as it remains that. I am a giver unless I realize the one I am giving to is a taker. (Ed gives NOTHING - he takes and bolts as fast as he can!) It doesn't have to be material things. (your trust, your soul, your good name... Ed will take it ALL)

Actually, material things have a tendency to turn me off. All I require is to feel a person loves or cares without reservation. (that won't find me out, that won't expect me to pay my debts or my share and will let me use them like toilet paper) We all look for different things, that is what I yearn for. So far, those illusive traits have avoided me for a very long time. It is hard to find someone you can touch their heart and they touch yours. (Since Ed HAS NO HEART) This is on any level. Even the level we speak of can have those factors rolled into it.

I am going to retire in a couple years. Some of my plans have changed but the basic of living in the Bahamas is still first and foremost in my mind.

Now, how personal can you be with me about your life? I don't want to pry. If there are things you don't want to tell me let me know what they are and I will refrain from asking. I am not nosy, just curious. (so please don't be nosey about me!)

I am private and I respect others who are the same. Discretion and privacy have always been a part of my life. Even as a kid I could keep a secret and never tell anyone. (Never tell anyone THE TRUTH!!) When I was first learning about girls. From my first affair through the remainder of my life has not been spoken of in terms of who, where or when. Friends would see me with someone and I would listen to their escapades but would not offer names, etc. Naturally we would talk about the things we did and how we did them but no names from me. I remember the first time oral sex came up in my life. I had heard about it but had never made and attempt. Sure, the other side of the oral equation had been performed on me a couple of times and I knew there should be more for her. To shorten this, after I reciprocated I found that I felt just as much excitement as she had received. The pleasure was mutual.......... Wow. (I had yet another way to use & control women!! whoo hooo!! Now I could really twist them into emotional pretzels)

Hey, stay out of those SMOKE SHOPS. :) No, you do what you want just leave it there when you head home.

Write when you can.

Lies from a Bigamist (and Online Predator)

(from EOPC, December 2005)

Bigamists are consummate liars, and my ex bigamist is no exception. Below is one of the first email notes he sent me, three days after initial contact of meeting the Internet predator on an online dating site. Keep in mind when he wrote this to me, he was definitely married to Wife #6 and she was living with him in Chesapeake, Virginia...three hours from my house in the Metro Washington, DC area. Take a word from the much wiser now...if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is false!

FYI:

Ed Hicks does not have a degree from Cal Poly and never received a full scholarship anywhere!
Ed Hicks was not born in 1952; he was born in 1944!
Ed Hicks was married at least six times before he met me, not one!
Ed Hicks never owned a Porsche!
Ed Hicks never gave his ex wife a house...he never owned a house to give her!
Ed Hicks' home in Chesapeake, VA was much larger than their apartment in Marina, CA, according to Wife #6! By the way, he told me he owned his house there. No, he rented the house and still has judgments on record in Chesapeake, VA for not paying rent.

Enjoy the total mind-numbing BS below...consummate lying from Ed Hicks, A Legend in His Own Mind!

Hi Sandra

Thanks for your interest in telling me about yourself. I appreciate it very much. So, you are a true Virginian. I am not sure about this state. I must say that I have relatives here and have as a kid visited here. Relatives in Emporia and Richmond and surrounding area. I am originally from New Jersey. Left there when I was 17 to embark on a college degree (with the aide of a full scholarship) at Cal Poly in San Luis Obispo, Calif. I could have gone to school in my local area as well but decided that education was important and I needed to be far away from home to succeed. (and far away from people who KNEW me and KNEW I was full of B.S.) It worked. A lot of my friends did not finish and are still in my hometown (Burlington) doing virtually nothing. At least not living up to capabilities. (Me? I am a full blown psychopath. Go ME!)

See, I am not totally foreign to Virginia. The heat and humidity are going to kill me. In Calif. We virtually don't have a humidity problem. Warm and dry most of the year. Oh well, not there now and must make the best of it. Sounds like you can introduce me to a lot in your area. I will hold you to it on a later date.

This area is filled with history. Williamsburg, Richmond and most areas here are a Historian?s dream. I like history but unfortunately have forgotten so much of it. (Because I spend so much time making UP my own history as the person I am targetting requires me to) I wanted to teach history when I was in my teachers mode. Oh well, in another life, maybe. (How many lives is it up to now, Ed? Just in this body? 10? 12?)

Funny you like racing. You are into oval track racing like most folks here. I am a product of Calif. And was into street rods and ¼ mile tracks. Don Pordome, Big Daddy Gartlets, etc. were my idles. Great you are into cars. I am into family cars for another couple years than it is back to the more sporty models. My graduation car (as my kids fondly refer to it as) is a Porsche. I owned one until my daughter was born. Than I soon figured out that baby car seats did not fit to well in it. (And of course I abandoned all my kids as soon as it didn't fit my predatory lifestyle)

Yes, I used to rebuild engines, transmissions, etc. Loved every minute of it. Okay, we both like cars. (PUT ANOTHER MARK ON THE WALL FOR US)

Yes, my children live with me. I raised them on my own since they were both in diapers. My ex-wife developed a drug problem. If you know anything about addictions, you know what I went through trying to hold that relationship together. (of course I treated her like such crap I was part of the reason for the drug problem. OOP!!!) Well, as strong as I was I could not let her addiction affect our children. We finally split for that reason. I had no fight for the children. She even says today that I was the better parent and the kids belong with me. She and I get along very well now. The drugs and alcohol could not be overcome and eventually won out. I took the kids and left. Gave her the house and everything in it. Two suit cases with the kids clothes, that was it. Okay, enough of that for now. Will answer any questions you might have at a later date. (You ran with no thought for anyone but yourself. Are your pants on fire yet?)

I have to spend some time with the kids. My daughter just received her license today and she is very excited. I need to interact as I usually do with them in the evening. I will write again later. I still have not gotten a chance to dig out my scanner. Hopefully you will forgive me for taking so long. I still have boxes from our move that I have not opened yet. This house is smaller than the one I had in Calif. Things just don't quite fit right. You know when you purchase furniture for one house it seldom fits in another. Oh well, I still need to find a comfort zone here.

I am a Pisces. Feb 23rd, 1952. (excuse me, your Math is lacking, Ed) Just thought I would get that in since you talked about your sign.

Have I answered most of our questions? (OUR? OUR? is that one of the multiple voices in your head in that OUR? You answered nothing but what an embellisher!) I hope so. I also added some facts about my life as well. Talk about boring. If it gets to boring, let me know and I will not volunteer the STUFF. Smile.

Until we talk again. Let's see where we are and that is the next step. (Bring your checkbook & credit cards - then I will decide)

Be good.

ED HICKS: Before He Proposed To Confirmed Wife Number SEVEN

Subject: RE: If you cannot concentrate...

Simply since I have been single most of my life. Married for 4 years (Ed, if you were Pinnochio, your nose would wrap around the globe into infinity). Raising kids for almost 18 years. I loved the kids part of it since they just did what I wanted to do and vise versa (Your poor kids, you had them involved in your lies). You had been married most of yours (Sandra had been married twice previously, to two kind men, who were very honest and trustworthy. Unfortunately, the marriages just didn't work out. Both marriages lasted ten years each). Not meaning anything by it. Not making comparisons in that way.

I never once wished I was married during that time (Let's get out the barf bucket! Ed, you were married the first time in 1965 and have seven confirmed marriages in 40 years and four of those marriages overlap, meaning you would marry the next one before you divorced the previous one). Now that the kids are almost grown I think of being with you for the rest of my life. (What BS, the rest of your life...Ed, you should have said, I think of being with you until I can take what I can and then I will move on to some other poor, trusting woman).

Dumped by Ed Hicks - Horrifying MUST READ!!

A MUST READ!!

Here is the letter Ed Hicks left on the pillow for wife #6 - Julie - to find when he just up & left. No face to face. No paid bills. And NO DIVORCE! And by the way? He was already romancing wife to be #7 - Sandra. Told all these women he'd only been married once & divorced back in the 1980s.

What is notable & horrifying about this letter is how TYPICAL of PSYCHOPATHIC BEHAVIOR IT IS!! Note the:

Projection
Blame-Shifting
Denial
The Twisting of Reality
The Guilt-Tripping
The ME-ME-ME stuff
Confabulation/ Word Salad
Seeming Honorable when He was Anything BUT!



Read on and please get your air sickness bag, a bumpy ride is ahead:

Julie

This is a very distressful day for me. I have been considering this for months. I don’t know what else to do. I am at wits end with no way out. I have tried to be patient and not be critical and all that stuff. It is not working and I am very depressed and have been for months.

Honey, we are not getting to where we need or should be in this relationship. (she run out of money, Ed?) I need evidently more than you are willing or know how to give. I don’t want a slave as you so amply put if some time ago. I need a woman that puts me first in her life. (While I treat her like #2) To view this home as just that and take care of it. Yes, you are so much better than you were when we first met. You have changed a lot, as have the kids and me as well. I thought somewhere you would recognize the need for you to be more active in what goes on here. It has gotten worse instead of better. You have dropped out here and seem to be very happy spending most of the time in the room reading or doing crossword puzzles. Well, we all need more. It is hard for me to believe this makes you happy. You will not talk to me about things that concern you so I have not a clue. I am not a mind reader and have reached my end with trying to get you to understand that married people talk about almost everything. You are very closed mouthed about what goes on here. (CLOSED MOUTHED? Why ED!!! This is Projection at its Pinnacle!!) When we first got together I told you that talking is the key to making a marriage successful or not. Well, we are not there. You seem to like being in your own world and coming out when you want to and that is not to often. (so did you Ed according to all the other wives and numerous girlfriends!)

I have been paying bills that are months behind. If we had a problem how come you did not come and tell me. We could have set up something to take care of it. Instead I find out when I open all the bills. (The bills YOU INCURRED Ed? While this poor woman was trying to keep her head above water?) Things like this require serious conversation between two people. We have no communications at all about anything. I have to even ask you how your folks are doing. Things are not good and they are not going to get better unless we take some serious action. (what action? - you just WALKED OUT and She couldn't find you until you bellied up on wife #7) You are seriously overweight and are continuing to put more on. That cannot make you happy; I know I am not. I cannot sit here and watch you kill yourself. (just say it Ed - You watch so much porn that chicks with a little meat on them turn you off because you objectify women) You are headed in the same direction as your Mother. I don’t mean that in a bad way but in a way that I have voiced in the past about health concerns.



You are off work more than any person I know for various reasons. You never feel good; there is always something wrong with you. I am not saying those illnesses are not real. I know they must be. What I am saying is that you are causing most of it yourself. Being as overweight as you are cannot be helping matters any. (Guilt tripping!! Probably depression from being married to a psychopath who will NEVER be happy, who is romancing other women behind her back, going through her money and looks at all women like they are a blow up doll with a pulse & checkbook)

Something is really happening to you and that too goes without conversation. I am not sure where this non-verbal practice comes from but I cannot take it any more. (What happened to her is YOU!!! How DARE you Blame-Shift!! What's up Ed? The computer girls getting more interesting to you?)

First let me tell you that I love you so much and it hurts terribly to be in this position. I have to take drastic measures in an effort to try and save our marriage. It won’t be easy and I have given this months of thought and can see no other way to proceed with trying to salvage love and the possibility of getting us put on the right track and back together in the future for a life long existence together. I do want that but not under present circumstances.



There are also issues with the kids. We went through you hollowing/ cursing and getting extremely mad at them for things that kids normally do. We have been and still are in a phase where you tell them you don’t care what I say you will do what you want. (Did you get this out of book Ed? Maybe she should ask the son you BEAT & ABANDONED about your parenting?) Or, telling them that you don’t care what I say they must do what you say. You seem to take many opportunities to put real pressure on them with comments that go against what I have taught in this house. There should have never been anything like that come out of your mouth. Even if you thought it, saying things like that in front of and to them has done nothing but strain their relationship with you. Do you forget that I raised them and when you came to us I was the only authority they had ever had. (NOT!) Why were they such good kids? I think I can take credit for that. Even their Mother does not or to my knowledge has never said things like that to them. She has always supported me even at times when she did not necessarily agree with me. She even says now that there were times when she thought I was wrong in my approach to raising children but now she sees what I was trying to impart to them. Even now she will call me and ask for advice in how to deal with them or what I would do in a particular situation. (she calls asking you for money or child support you owe her I bet) You never once came to me in that manner. I wish you had, it would have made things a lot better here. By the time you and I talked it was you being angry because I did not see your point of view. That is not to say you were wrong but that was not the right approach for these kids.



When we moved here I left the house to you. Look at it; we still don’t have curtains at the kid’s windows. The living room carpet was filthy until I got some carpet shampoo and cleaned it myself. (well it takes 2 Ed!) No, this is not asking you to be a slave but a wife and a mother. I should not have to travel most of the week and come home to wash clothes; clean floors worry about bills that aren’t being paid. It is too much for me to take. I have a course to study for that as I told you would take an enormous amount of time to get through. (besides the online predator needs time to keep up his girlfriends & online ads) That was not something I wanted but what was dumped on me. Still I see no change in action from you. All these things are fine if you want to deal with them and it only affected you, but all of this affects the kids and me. They are learning what not to do or how to act when they get married. ### is willing to do more for me than you are. She knows that with what I have taught her about life, marriage, duties and partnerships that this is not what it should be. That you should be doing more for me. As she said, they can take care of themselves but it would be nice to know that you were taking care of me better. My weekends are spent washing, ironing, yard work, gardening, and anything other than what I should be doing. (should or want to be doing? screwing with the bodies & heads of other women) This house was supposed to be yours and you have done nothing with it. You said when we were in Monterey that you felt the house was not yours. Well, that was true since you moved in with us and we had almost everything required. Since we have been here, what is the reason for not feeling like the house is yours. You opted out and so things stand still unless I do something. Not a way a partnership should be. (partnership? nah Dictatorship!)



Let me preface the remarks about washing, housework, etc. You know that I do this continually anyway. So I don’t ever want you thinking that slave thing again. That train of thought is totally missing the point. I know you will do that so let’s not go there. I have always done chores inside the house. (you are really obsessed with that slave thing Ed; did she hit a nerve there? because that's what you wanted right?)

I could go on and I am quite sure you have issues with me. Well, that is a given. I am different and I know that. The one thing that you can take from this is that the kids and I love you very much but we need a break (besides I have another patsy on the hook) and a change in you. If you get angry as you usually do and dig in your heels, we stand no chance.



My solution to the problem is this. (here we go!)

1. Give your job here two weeks notice and tell them that you are going back to Utah to assist with your parents. They know the situation there. If they ask how long, just tell them it could be several months. Also, it gives you time to ensure you have some money when you get there.

2. Go to Utah and help your sisters with your folks. See what it is like to give of yourself 100% to something you want. (not something you would know anything about, Ed) Also, they could use a break. They are handling both your parents in times that would be trying for anyone. While in Utah, search your heart for answers to some of the questions I have asked and that you know are inside you. Make some decisions on how you act or react to situations. You and I can talk long distance and try to work this out or if you like we cannot have any contact at all. You are the one that has to figure out what you want in life and what you are willing to give to get it.

3. Drive your car back there so you have your own transportation. I will drive back there with you if you like. I don’t want to worry about how you are doing out on the road alone. I can fly back. (he'll be LONG GONE by the time you get back!)

I love you Julie and this is not a way to get rid of you but the only way I know to try and salvage our relationship and the love we have left. I do love you so much and it hurts to see us like this. I would give the world to have you see my point of view or to have us agree on a compromise that is right for this family but to date it has not happened. You have ideas and thoughts that do not fit into what I have built this house on. (lies, deception, predatory behaviors and the gospel according to Ed) You know I would never tell or do anything to hurt you. (WTF!!! WHAT DO YOU CALL THIS NOTE?) I have more experience with life than you and I have been where you are now. I thought I could help you with things in your life but you don’t want help. I can understand that.



Julie, I do want you back but with a different frame of mind. I know you love me but it seems you love yourself and your way more. There is a conflict there. (yes and it has be all about ME ME ME ME!!)

I don’t know where I am going or what I will do this evening. (LOL!! That's funny Ed always has someone to pick up his check or bang him!) I just want to ride or go or do something that takes my mind off this situation. No, I am not out drinking. Please don’t get the kids in the middle of this. Don’t slam doors or act anything but like an adult. (puke puke puke)

THE KIDS DON’T KNOW ABOUT THIS AND IF WE DO IT I WANT THEM TO KNOW THAT YOU ARE GOING TO UTAH TO HELP WITH THEIR GRANDPARENTS. (oh god don't let MY kids know I am bottom feeding scum who just ripped off one of their step-mothers!!.... AGAIN)

That is all I want them to know. So if you go OFF over this note you are going to get them all upset. I have had enough of that. Don’t get mad and leave in a huff as well. If you don’t want to wait or you have other ideas, please wait until they are sleep and I am home to act. PLEASE THINK OF SOMEONE ELSE BESIDES YOUSELF THIS TIME. (HAHAHAHAHAH!!!)
PLEASE. (please please please.... it starts with P just like PSYCHOPATH!!)



I love you Julie Hicks and I do want us to work this out if that is what you want to do. (just like I loved those before during after and .....oh well you know.... I am just one man!)

Love Always, You husband (now let's open a can of whoop ass on him!)

Man Rapes 13-year old he Met ONLINE

A 22-year-old New York City man is due in court next week on charges he had a sexual relationship with a 13-year-old Putnam Valley girl, the Putnam County Sheriff’s Office said.

Cannell Jerome, of Queens, was arrested Tuesday for allegedly making an Internet relationship with the girl physical last month.

He is accused of having sex with her twice at her home, and visiting her secretly at home before that — sometimes sneaking out of her bedroom window, police said. The pair met in an Internet chat room in November 2005.

The victim’s mother learned of the relationship on Jan. 26, when she checked her daughter’s computer, police said.

Jerome was charged with two counts of second-degree rape and two counts of second-degree criminal sexual act, both felonies. He was sent to Putnam County Correctional Facility on $2,500 bail and an order of protection was issued to keep him from contacting the girl. He is due in Putnam Valley town court Thursday.

ED HICKS: "Adieu Adieu" AWARD WINNING!!!

(From December 2005 - this has to be one of the most HORRIFYING "goodbye" letters from a predator we've ever seen. And in light of what was found out about this animal - its even more horrifying and idiotic.)

A goodbye from Ed Hicks to 2 of his many Targets!! Worthy of a Writer's Guild Award. The DRAMA!

Notice how, like most predators, Ed casts himself in a noble and understanding light. Making the goodbye the "fault" of the target and not anything HE really wanted! This is typical of their false chivalry.

Hi Honey (Stop with the HONEY already! Does this guy remember any of these women's names?)

I have been procrastinating about writing you a letter of this nature. I have been on the phone with the insurance company requesting a determination of my case. They are stalling and that makes me angry. I called an attorney and chatted about it and basically he said to give them 30 days to respond than file a law suite; pay for the trip out there to see the Dr. and sue them for the costs associated with it. Like he said, sometimes that is the only thing they understand. I sent them a registered letter with contents as he stated. My Dr. in Sunnyvale said he would not press for payment so I won’t have to pay the thousands the tests, exams, etc. will cost until the insurance co. paid up.

Still with that in mind it does not relieve me of my obligation to you and what I envisioned for us in the future. (WHAT might that be Ed?) Those words you wrote have been on my mind before reading them in your email to me. The fact that you were there alone has always bothered me. Yes, selfishness and love kept me from doing what I knew I should have done some time ago. That is to give you your freedom from further obligation to me. (Get lost!) Have you free to explore whatever options you deem necessary for you to feel all the things I cannot supply via long distance. Even with travel more frequently it still would not give you what you needed as a woman or a person. God knows I wish things were different; I wish I was still in the position I was in there in at Schnoover. They were some of the best days of my life. Being with you daily, evenings and nights was what I revolved around. People used to ask me why I always had a smile on my face. We know why. You were the reason. (A nice, trusting target!) Now I have to do what I should have done when I left. I am giving you your freedom. You are such a sweet person, the kind like I have never know in my past or will ever meet in my future. We often wonder what life has in store for us in this life, you were always in those plans now I must make the ultimate sacrifice because I do love you so much. (WHAT!? You never honored your obligations to ANYONE Ed!! Even your creditors are still chasing you! What TRIPE!!)

I am not sure what my reaction will be once I finish this note. My heart is very heavy right now. I am losing the very best thing that has happened to me. Calling It quits is necessary for both our survival. I want you to have a full life. I pray for peace and joy in your life because you deserve the very best life has to offer.

I love you *Carol* XXX. No matter where your life leads you a part of me will be there. Move on to what makes you whole. (Cause it ain't gonna be me, baby)

I am not sure what kind of contact we will have in the future. Just know that I will always love you.


Good bye my love, (Ed, your village is missing its idiot)

Subject: I guess this is good-bye, then.....

I suppose I should assume that our contacts from here on out are prohibited. That really is too bad. The conversations and laughter were always wonderful. And comfortable. And undeniably quenching to both of us. And irreplaceable.

I protected you as best I could. (You knew there was at least one other woman and LIED for him? Did you KNOW he had 4 women going at once??)

I also suppose that you will again disappear despite your promise to the contrary--the only thing you ever promised (that and whale watching). That too is unfortunate. I know that we could be lifelong friends. There is just that kind of connection. I guess our relationship has been re-defined one too many times and you just aren't up for the task yet another time. (Re-defined? Ed Hicks has redefined himself every time he meets a new target! New name, new story, new b.s.)

So the sun has been taken back by a jealous sky. I wish you great happiness. I will hold you, my friend, in my heart always. And as always, be sure to take care of yourself and stay safe. I will miss you. (Poor *Lynn* - she calls Ed the Sun and his wife du jour the Jealous Sky... she should only know how many women he had going!)

I will keep you updated so you will know when I anticipate getting there........

Oh, what did XXX say about that woman DR. she went to see? Did she like her or did not say much about it? Let me know, okay.

Hi Honey, I got in later than normal today since I had to depend on someone else to pick me up. I have a stack of email and other things to do.

Nice to hear the Windsurfing stuff arrived............ Where in the world did you put the board and other stuff........ ?

I am glad the kids are finding things to do. They need outside things, especially Eddie. If that gets him off his butt and doing something we will have won this battle. (How about you getting off your butt, getting divorces and paying your debts?)

The car was something else. We can maybe get some time to test drive one......... It doesn't look like this weekend will do it. That will do in my Saturday........ Sunday will only have a half day since I need to get to Emporia at a decent hour. I felt so much better not making that drive early Monday morning. I never recover all week from that.

Hope the Gov't gets the budget straight so the hiring will begin in earnest........

I had better get back to the real business. (REAL business?) I will call later.

Oh well, out of my range until the kids get out of school. List on the one I saw today was $45K. they said they would let it go for $41K. Green with white interior............... Wow...........

Hi Babe,
I know you won't read this before I'll see you again but I'd like to talk to you and sending e-mail helps alleviate some of that need. So even though this probably won't be new info when you read it, you don't know any of this stuff right now. (Yeah in emails & chat Ed REALLY shines!!)

I had my interview with the Strategic Planning folks. It seemed to go well though I'm their first interview and it sounded like it would take a few weeks before they get around to interviewing all of the candidates. There aren't too many of us but they've spread the interviews out. I'd much rather be the final candidate so I'd know much sooner what the outcome is. The position sounded even better after I finished talking to the dept than when I read the description. Of course, they all wanted to know why I'd want a job so much lower than my current position. I was as honest and straight-forward as I could be; I told them that I was under-utilized in my current position and that I'm looking for an opportunity to apply my talent and experience in a meaningful way. As I said, I think things went well and I'm very hopeful that I'm right. I enjoyed the atmosphere in the office and really liked the people I spoke with. Now we'll have to see if HR will meet halfway.

So, did Sears have a good price on tires? I usually go to Costco to get my tires; the prices there are generally better than anywhere else. Glad Lee's worked out for you. Hope they did a good job.

Well, it's getting late and I certainly have no reason to stay here until 6 pm on a Friday but at least I feel like I've talked to you. I miss you, too, when we're not together. It seems that we get a day or two together and then something comes up or the weekend happens. Our time together is fragmented and disjoint things just start getting comfortable then we're interrupted. (Ed's got other women to deal with Lorraine - come on, he's just one man!!) I don't have any solutions for that phenomenon and I suppose it's worse for you than me (at least my clothes are all in one place. . .) but I'm finding more often that I want to talk with you, share my day or ideas, yet you won't be around for a while. (Where will you be EXACTLY Ed?) Please don't misunderstand me--I'm not complaining, I'm just talking. I'm just telling you something about myself and you get to do with it what you will. You'll know when I'm complaining because with a complaint comes a request for change (which you can also choose to do with as you see fit.) (Good 'cause Eddie ain't changin' - except his underwear for his next date!! and how DARE you ask him to commit!!)

I truly hope you're feeling better soon. I have't had an earache in years but I still remember how much they hurt.

I'll call you this weekend and let you know about getting together with XXX and XXX.

Love you,
*Lori*

Sounds like you have important plans for the weekend……Good Deal. Be safe and be careful. And by the way, why doesn’t Eddie just tell folks at school that he is a “freshman”…..no further explanation needed…..let them assume his age!

So. You think we have made it through the storm? That statement sounds good to me. It makes me feel like we need to have some long conversations and see what’s coming at daybreak…… (STORM? HUH? Was she asking too many questions for ole' lover boy?)

Honey, (I am about to start a hit meter for all the times he calls a woman HONEY!) we cannot rationalize for him. He has a voice and chooses not to use it. Or better yet, he doesn't know what he wants or how to get there. He knows he doesn't want to be told what to do....... In his limited wisdom he doesn't realize that for the remainder of his life he will be told what to do and when to do it.......... When that brick falls on him let's hope he conforms.......... (hey Ed, can you take your own sage wisdom?)

Love you,

Well, we are at the end of the lawn growing season but when the dirt dries some we should put the seeds down anyway. Some will come up even in winter. Need something on that patch of mud. Smile.

Honey, we have talked about how we both feel about being with each other. The conflicting feeling, etc. I think has been sufficiently talked about. Lets just try to put those things in practice.............. (what's up? she getting wise to you Ed??)

You are finished already. You should be here helping me. I am buried.........

Hi,
How are you doing today? I think I'm all caught up from not being here yesterday--and since it was that easy I should have taken another day off.

It was so good to see you again yesterday and to be able to spend some time with you. Speaking of spending time together. . .I was writing to you yesterday when you called and was trying to explain my thoughts about asking you to spend time with me. (This is going to get confusing.) I don't know if I got my piont across or if I even completed my thought in the message you received but the short-hand version goes something like this: The default is that I always want you around so I'm not going to ask you to come by unless it's something special. I also assume that you want to be with me so when you're not it's because your presence is needed elsewhere--and that's a judgment call you'll have to make. I think I'm probably beating a dead horse here but I wasn't sure I got this out yesterday. (Ed, tell her you are with one of the other girlfriends or your fiance. Come on Ed - make her just take a number!)

Well, it looked pretty nice out a few minutes ago but now it's starting to cloud over. I'm never going to get the lawn in this year. . .

Love you, *Lori*

How are you doing? I do miss you and wish whomever was tracking our email would just give it up........ I have not heard of any since the last one. I have not used my yahoo mail and it rejects mail since the box is full...... Maybe they will give it up. I think they realize that interfering with Gov't mail puts the Feds on them.

More Fun, Games & LIES from Charles "ED" Hicks

The Man Who Married Too Much
Va. Wife Discovered Utah Wife and More

By Tom Jackman --Washington Post Staff Writer

Ed Hicks is married to two women: one in Fairfax County and one in Utah. He previously has been married to at least five other women in this country, and, three times, he did not manage to get divorced from one before hitching up with another.

Hicks, 61, is "in love with love," according to a profile he posted on a dating Web site. Current and ex-wives describe him as romantic, handy around the house, a smooth talker. One woman continued to live with him after they were divorced.

He was "the first man I ever fell in love with," said Sharon Hicks Pratt, 60, of Las Vegas, the second of his former wives and the mother of his first child. While living in California, the two took motorcycle rides along the coast every weekend, Pratt said. Hicks built a brick wall outside their home, installed lawn sprinklers, redecorated the bathrooms and served as a father to the three kids she had before she met him, she said.

"He could be a real nice husband," Pratt said. "But he just has to have more than one woman."

Sandra Phipps Hicks, his Fairfax wife, found that out the hard way in April, when their tax refund check was redirected to pay off a tax lien from his marriage to Julie Flint Hicks, 43 -- his wife in Layton, Utah.

Sandra Hicks went to Fairfax police and showed them a copy of Julie Hicks's marriage license. They charged Ed Hicks with bigamy, a rarely used felony count that in the case of conviction carries a minimum two-year prison sentence. Hicks has a date today in a Fairfax courtroom.

After the discovery, Sandra Hicks began digging into her husband's past, working backward from ex-wife to ex-wife. The last three wives have formed a support circle of sorts, commiserating with one another and warning Ed Hicks's new romantic prospects of his secret past.

"I had already picked up on some of his lies and was a blind fool to his cheating," said Sandra Hicks, 49, who married Ed Hicks two years ago. "But he, in his charismatic, smooth way, was always able to explain it away."

Ed Hicks has been officially single between marriages only for periods of eight days, six days and 13 months, court records show. He has three children and has had nine stepchildren.

He lived in the Hybla Valley section of Fairfax with Sandra until April, when she booted him out of their townhouse. He declined repeated requests for an interview.

According to Hicks's résumé, obtained from Sandra Hicks, he is a publications analyst for the Army and works with a low-level security clearance at the Hoffman Complex in Alexandria. He has worked as a civilian for the military for most of his career.

"He was so much fun," said Julie Flint Hicks, his Utah wife. She met him at her job in the early 1990s when both were living in California, and after a chance meeting several years later, they began dating. She said Ed Hicks told her that he had been married once before, to the mother of his two children, and that he had bachelor's and master's degrees. All false.

The two went on only one formal date, Julie Hicks said, because Ed was raising two children. Instead, they stayed in and watched television mostly.

"It didn't really bother me because he was a good dad, he was watching out for his kids," Julie Hicks said. "If you had asked me then, 'Does he love me?' Oh, yes, there is no doubt in my mind.

"It was so strong. Then one day, it turned off. It was just weird. I don't know why."

They had been married four years and were living in Chesapeake, Va. Julie Hicks's parents in Utah were both ill, and she made plans to go there to help them. One morning, as she was getting ready to leave, she found a typed letter on her pillow from her husband, telling her, "It is not working out." Julie Hicks went to Utah and never returned to Virginia. She also never divorced Ed Hicks.

While Julie Hicks was in Utah, Ed Hicks moved on to Sandra Hicks, whom he met through an Internet dating site. Ed Hicks began driving to Northern Virginia to date her, not mentioning his wife in Chesapeake.

"I loved him. I wanted to be his wife, I wanted to share a lifetime with him," said Sandra Hicks, who took in his two teenage children and helped support them even before their father had moved in with her. The two went fishing, traveled together and bought property in the Bahamas. Sandra Hicks said she paid for everything.

Then, shortly before their second anniversary in May, she called the IRS to find out why they hadn't received their tax refund. She was told it had been applied to a tax lien from his joint return in 1999 with Julie Hicks.

She contacted Julie Hicks and learned that she was still married to Ed Hicks. Then Sandra Hicks checked the Internet and found he was still looking for women to date. She kicked him out April 13 and went to police six days later.

In addition to the trail of broken hearts and financial problems that current and ex-wives say Ed Hicks has wrought, his legacy includes an abandoned son, who is living in Las Vegas. At 32, Christopher M. Hicks, his son with Sharon Hicks Pratt, is working his first job and getting his life in order after years in foster care, street gangs and prison. He hasn't seen or spoken to his father in 20 years.

"I don't know what I would say to him," Christopher Hicks said. "I think maybe if he would have taken care of me, I think we both could have bettered each other. Maybe we wouldn't have been in this [mess]."

Hicks was 21 and in the Air Force in California in 1965 when he first got married, to a woman with four young children. Over the next four decades, he would impose strict rules on how his households should be run, inflict occasional beatings on the kids, according to his first son and his stepchildren, and start dating other women while he was still married.

Sharon Hicks Pratt, his second wife, was then Sharon Tealer and the half sister of his first wife. They had Christopher while Hicks was still married to his first wife.

"Everything he did was romantic to me," Pratt said.

Then, she said, she caught him cheating. Hicks was on to wife No. 3, taking young Christopher with him to Washington state and refusing to disclose his whereabouts, Pratt said.

Hicks invited his third wife, Monica Marschall Hicks, and her friend Johnette Erlandson, to live with him. This, in turn, led to Erlandson becoming wife No. 4, though Hicks hadn't divorced his third wife, according to court records.

Ed and Johnette Hicks had two children together in the mid-1980s. Even after they divorced in 1994, they continued to live together for several years, she said. "He's just a very charismatic individual," said Johnette Hicks, now 45.

The pattern continues to this day: A seemingly normal relationship begins between a single, working woman and a divorced man with two children, followed by a quick trip to the courthouse for a civil ceremony. No mention of any existing marriages from Hicks and not much financial contribution from him, either, his recent wives said.

"I just think he wanted control," Johnette Hicks said. "He looks at his women and his children as his possessions."

Julie Hicks said that after she and Ed Hicks grew close in the mid-1990s, even as he was married to his fifth wife, he moved all of Flint's furniture into his new home in California without telling her. At first, she said, she was taken aback. But she saw it as a romantic gesture and moved in with him.

Their wedding was a brief courthouse ceremony. By 2000, they had moved to Chesapeake and their relationship had soured.

"I ended up having to declare bankruptcy and I lost my car," Julie Hicks said, after her husband ran up credit card bills and failed to make payments.

By early 2001, Ed Hicks was looking around again and posted his profile on the Internet. That's when he met wife No. 7: Sandra Phipps, a technical writer and former teacher.

"He has an aura of magic about him that is mesmerizing," she said. They went fishing and took vacations together. Sandra Hicks said she, too, always paid for both of them. They married in a civil ceremony in the Bahamas.

As with all of Ed Hicks's marriages, the magic quickly wore off. Sandra Hicks said debt collectors soon began appearing at her door.

After learning about the Utah wife, she checked the Internet. There he was, trolling, Sandra Hicks said. She threw him out and had to take out a home equity loan to repay the debts her husband had incurred.

"That's my money, and I'll never see it," she said. "And I don't want to see it as long as he gets thrown in jail."

Even after he was arrested in late May, Hicks did not stop looking for love. Sandra Hicks said he has dated a woman he met online and has been chatting online with at least four other women -- three of whom are fictitious characters created by his Fairfax wife.

"He was charming, he was accommodating, he seemed to be who he said he was," said one of the women Hicks has dated several times in recent weeks, until she was alerted to his history by his current wives. Hicks told her he was 52, had graduated from California Polytechnic State University and had been married only twice -- all false. She and Sandra Hicks were particularly impressed by his government security clearance, thinking it signaled a level of verified integrity.
(Note: Hicks STILL has security clearance - WHY IS THAT!?)

I know men," said the woman, who requested anonymity to protect her privacy. "You usually can pick up red flags. But him . . . God, he talks good."

Staff researcher Bobbye Pratt contributed to this report.

TO: XXXX
From: Charles Hicks

Sam, I am glad you have such family support. It is wonderful to have them around when things are tough. It is also great that your Ex has come to help as well. You have a structure, which permits such helpful actions.

You asked quite a few questions which I thought we would have gotten to by now. I understand your concern since your last relationship went bad on you. I felt as though I was paying the price for someone else's actions. I backed off since it seemed you were guarding against to close a contact. I was not happy about it but I did understand. (NOTE from Site Owner: Notice the "I am such a sensitive noble guy B.S.!!) I felt you would be worth getting to know even if we just turned out to be friends. I don't have a problem with just being friends at this point. I just would not enjoy being scrutinized to the point of being bad until I or someone else proves I am not. More like being guilty until proven innocent. Okay, I am past that stage and am willing to move on if the effort on both our parts are genuine.

When I first told you I was not living alone you were confused about that. Let me address that issue so we can either move past it or let it hold us back. I am planning to retire sometime within the next year or so. I have a house to build on the island and paying premium dollar for a house or condo in Alexandria or any surrounding community would not be in my best interest. I have seen housing markets come to a screeching halt in the past. House sales slump to lows, which would keep me here and not allow me to sell and move on in my life. I cannot or will not allow my hopes & dreams to be smothered by market sales of homes. Remaining liquid is the way to control my own destiny. I don't know what to tell you other than that is my decision and it is best for me. My children are grown and are not in the equation now. I don’t' have to provide a home and stability as I had for over 20 years. My thoughts are now to do what I can to ensure a retirement which will allow me to travel and do what I makes sense to me and give me what I have worked for all my life. I hope you understand and not put me into a box, which is associated with everyone else.
(Note: Can we count the number of times this narcissist said "me" or "I"??)

Your life with your Ex ended in an equitable sharing of assets and things you both accumulated together. I was married twice. My first, she and I are great friends. (LIE!) Things happened which had no bearing on love or caring. I raised two children from diapers to adulthood. She knows my character and who I am. Just as your Ex feels comfortable with you after a divorce. My second wife is Satan herself. (PROJECTION) I did not see this but have paid the price but at least have successfully removed the problem from my life. Am I cautious, yes? Am I wrapped up in what went wrong and what a mistake I made in judgment, no. I am looking for a friend and if she turns out to be more than it should be a mutual arrangement. I don't want anything from anyone I just would like someone to spend time with and maybe share a life long dream of living in the islands. Being able to pursue the water sports I love and enjoy. This may not answer any of your questions but it might let you know I am not carrying baggage, which would prohibit love, friendship with another person. There is no one perfect for any one person. Without flexibility and a willingness to trust it is fruitless to search for someone to hopefully include in your life. Maybe it is too early for you. I don't know, but again I am willing to see if we can be friends.

Now for some other issues you are concerned about. I work for the Army. I have worked for DoD and the Navy during my Fed career. I have twenty-seven years with the Gov't and probably won't remain for 30 years. I can leave when I am fifty-five and that is what I plan to do. Trying to compute and live with a 2% reduction in retirement benefit will not be a deterrent for me leaving. Life is short. Most persons our age are leaving the work place because they understand that fact and realize that when you don't feel good about what you do it is time to move on. (I have reached burnout (but not marrying & defrauding women burnout, huh?)) Adding stress by remaining will take years off my life. I am a very healthy individual at this stage of my life and I would like to enjoy what ever is remaining.

I live about two miles from Old Town off Route One (YEAH IN HIS VAN). So I am close to where you would be staying. It would not matter to me if I lived as far away as Richmond, it would not be a problem getting there to have coffee with you. Face to face puts some things into perspective and allows each to view and chat a little with a person. This is innocent and without commitment. (nice words, innocent & commitment - seducer-speak) I would not be honest if I told you I expected more: I don't. I understand visual acceptance is part of any friendship or relationship. Let's continue with your schedule and see if we can obtain a level worthy of us being just friends. No expectations, just talk. When it is over you can retire to a neutral arena and assess whether you and I can be friends. I will do the same. If that first step turns out to be negative we just thank each other for their time and move on with our lives. I would always wish you the best and know you will find the right person for you. I know I will as well.

My weekend was uneventful but enjoyable. I like down time every so often to reflect on life, direction and remaining within myself. (Troll for my targets at the local internet cafe?) They are huge points, which drive us to our goals. I worked a little more on my purposed contribution to the island I plan to live the reminder of my life on. As you might know, most islands in the Bahamas are close to third world. Meaning there is high unemployment, facilities are in most local areas are substandard, etc. My plan is to make the islanders aware of their responsibility to the island they live on and love. (Because I am the KING of RESPONSIBILITY!! not) Clean beaches. Going to remote locations and actually cleaning them up and making all visitors aware it is their responsibility to pack out what they pack in. Not the case at this present time. I have developed a monthly plan, which is in conjunction with the many churches on the island to clean a beach a month. Have islanders take responsibility for informing those who enjoy the beach >to help clean it. I have enlisted landowners; heavy equipment companies who will act as land fill maintenance or caretakers for covering the trash and refuge we collect as a result of our beach cleaning efforts. If I affect a few it will be doing something very near and dear to my heart.
(None of this was true - and btw, what a control freak! Sounds like a dictator)

Okay, now you have some idea of who and what I plan to do and close to a time frame of when. I am not a churchgoer and have not been for a very long time. (One would hope NOT!) I believe but have not found the right place to practice a religion I can believe in. (the religion of ED, where everything he does is o.k. & wonderful) This is a long story and should be taken as a single issue.

After reading what I have written if you still feel we should meet we have time to match schedules.

You have a great day. I am getting things ready for work tomorrow. I hope your daughter continues to improve so she can get home where I know she would rather be. I am heading to California at some point within the next three weeks. It could be tomorrow or the complete term doctors have estimated for the time and date of birth. I will let you know if any of this effort changes plans we have made.

Take care, Ed

Hello Sam
You are so right about Eleu and Harbor Island. Riding the golf carts around the island which has a third world feeling about it. It is precisely that feel I like. Given the right kind of transportation (Sailboat), you can visit all of the islands in the Caribbean with very little effort. That has
always been my dream to do just that. Why live in the hustle and bustle of commercial life when you can live on an island you can call home. If persons come to visit, we could take them to one of the more commercial islands but still acquaint them with a new way of life.

I hear an investment company has purchased the resort, which was destroyed several years ago. So there will be more activity on the southern end of the island but still would not affect how we live or where. (In your VAN maybe??)

Think of the diving, snorkeling and kayaking we could do in and around the 10,000 islands and Cays, which make up the Bahamas Islands. That is the allure for me.

You are lucky you can telecommute with your agency. I tried it but they are still in the dark ages with respect to what can be done from home. They are ignoring the mandate to move 30% of all jobs into that arena. Oh well, I will be gone (Hopefully) by the time it sinks in or they are made to participate in a good program of telecommuting. Great for you.

It is not my nature to talk about others to others. I promise not to talk about anything concerning Exs unless there is something specific you want to know. There should never be blame since it takes two to tango. We have a deal.

I have two children as well. My daughter is the oldest. She is pregnant with my first grandchild. She is due around the first week of July. I will be going there for the occasion. She lives in Monterey. The place we moved to the East Coast from.

I lived my childhood in NJ. I went west to college and decided to remain there. I had been west until 3 years ago when I was forced to come East. I am a Mechanical Engineer by academic study. I have served in many capacities through the years. Mostly in the computer side of the house but more recently as the agencies Program Analyst. They need someone to blame if
major projects go wrong.

I will close for now. It is getting late and I want you to get this note before you turn in for bed. That seems important to me right now. There is always tomorrow and I look forward to continuing our conversation than.

Chat with you later. Ed

Hi Samantha

Are you too good to be true? (GAG!!) I just joined the service and with what I wanted in my life it seemed a long shot to find someone interested in water, beaches and the Caribbean. Your profile speaks to me in a way no other has. Your interests are so similar to mine. If you add windsurfing and there would be an identical match. Believe me that is not a showstopper as far as I am concerned. As I see it, all we have to do from here is to feel our hearts jump out of our chests when we first meet. I am not into beauty contestants so I don't feel as though looks will be a problem. (as long as you have money and are a smart trusting woman I can fleece) I am a very relaxed person. I do not get upset very easily. As my kids tell me, "I have never gotten mad at them but have been disappointed at times." They know they can come to me no matter what the situation. (IF THEY CAN FIND YOU!!) If things get heated it only lasts about 10 minutes and than life gets back to normal. I don't carry things on for days. Everyone has to move on and that is hard to do if a person remains in the past. (And bothers to get a divorce or 6...)

I have been scuba diving since the mid 70's. I have had meaningful chats with Jacque Cousteau and his son on a couple occasions. Did you know Jacque and his oldest son lived on Eleuthera? (NAME DROPPING!! more Seducer-Speak) When you were there, did you visit the deep hole? Cousteau had a 1-hour special about that body of water on Eleuthera.

Okay, back to you and I. It is highly unusual to find anyone who has been to Eleu. The island is very remote for most tourists. North Eleu is the tourist spot but you need to travel by boat to get to the main island. I am still pinching myself - (are you sure you are not my EX and are playing games?) What a selfish person she was and would do anything to thwart my efforts to
find someone who is down to earth and real. Okay, enough of that talk. Don't worry; I am not carrying any baggage where she is concerned. Life is so much more relaxing now. (At this point Sandra Hicks hadn't filed her charges, Julie Hicks hadn't filed and Tom Jackman was about to make him 'infamous' in the Washington Post) (THWART YOUR EFFORTS? excuse me, you are a multiple bigamist!!)

I see you live in Richmond. Have you lived there all your life or other locations? You sound more like a California girl. (I hope you do not mind me referring to you as a girl. If you do just say so and I will change. I moved here from California. To date I viewed it as a mistake. I was site
manager for a division whose headquarters was located in Wash DC. They closed my location and I had to move to the DC area or lose all retirement benefits. Well, you know the answer to that. I moved. I am a late person as well and rarely get to bed before mid-night. So, if you write back I will get your responses.

To answer your question about St. Maarten; no I have never been there but is probably very interesting as many of the Caribbean Islands are. They are still governed by the Dutch, arent they? I would have to read their retirement policy and what their tax structure is to understand how they view persons who relocate. Seems you made a good decision to move from here. I dont like the direction the US is heading.

If I did not say it in my profile, I am a Program/Management Analyst.

Chat with you later, Ed

LIVING YOUR LIFE ON THE INTERNET - FOR ALL TO SEE

excerpts:

"...Younger people, one could point out, are the only ones for whom it seems to have sunk in that the idea of a truly private life is already an illusion. Every street in New York has a surveillance camera. Each time you swipe your debit card at Duane Reade or use your MetroCard, that transaction is tracked. Your employer owns your e-mails. The NSA owns your phone calls. Your life is being lived in public whether you choose to acknowledge it or not.

"Any new technology has its victims, of course: the people who get caught during that ugly interregnum when a technology is new but no one knows how to use it yet. Take “Susie,” a girl whose real name I won’t use because I don’t want to make her any more Googleable. Back in 2000, Susie filmed some videos for her then-boyfriend: she stripped, masturbated, blew kisses at the Webcam - surely just one of many to use her new computer this way. Then someone (it’s not clear who, but probably her boyfriend’s roommate) uploaded the videos. This was years before YouTube, when Kaazaa and Morpheus ruled. Susie’s films became the earliest viral videos and turned her into an accidental online porn star, with her own Wikipedia entry."

No Sweetie (GAG!!!) I did not get a card. (Typical predator, he got it - just toying with her MIND!) Just the thought is great though. How are you doing? Are you finished with scheduling yet. If not let me know when you will have some free time.

I was just headed out the door to a meeting in the adjacent building but just wanted to send you a response back so you know I got your email.

Let me know about the free time. I will be back in the office in about 2 hours.

Also, my office phone number has changed since I moved. The number now is 703-428-0565.

Stay sweet. (Because I am NOT!)

Yes, I'm done. I feel so much better since Scheduling has been completed. There are some technician problems that have not been resolved with the schedules having to be downloaded into NPS database.

Most of the scheduling information didn't download into NPS's database. Therefore no one can view the schedules at this point. But my part is over.I'll be free this afternoon, if you mean to day.

The technician will be working from Arizona on my computer all morning to see if there is something wrong with my database. (you need someone to work on your conscience - it seems to be MISSING)

I won't be able to use my computer for the most part of the day. But I'll be here at my desk. (Love talk at work? what a great use of TIME, Ed.... so your NEW WIFE doesn't hear it?)

Take care and thanks for the new number.

Love you
*Carol*

Hon (BLECH!), that is great. I know you get awfully stressed during that time. Did ### ever address the issue of getting you another person of some value? Knowing him he will just leave it and hope it goes away by itself. Hopefully ### can fix the error. Most skilled technicians can take care of it for you.

How is the weather there? I know according to ### (He talks to ### almost everyday) the weather has been up and down. I want to finish this project I am working on so I can get there for a few days. If I can get my cousin to come stay with the kids (cousin? HA!! he's pawning off his kids on HIS NEW WIFE?) I would like to stay for a week. You know me, I hate depending on anyone else to do something (LOL!! like pay your bills?? or take responsibility for YOUR kids?). I will check with her to see and when and if she will do it. If not I can only stay a few days. These kids are at the age of really getting into trouble. I can sense it................ Smile.. (We need to wipe off that SMILE!!)

Okay, I had better get back to work. (Answer more emails from other women on Government time) Chat with you later.

No, he has avoided the issue so far. The weather is normal for Monterey during this time of year. Lately it's been cool and no sun.

But the weekend is suppose to be warmer.
I am going to ### place in ###e from the 1st to the 6th of ###. ### is going to use her timeshare in ### and we are going to join her for a few days. Other than that I have no other trips planned until October.

It will be great to see you and be with you for a week. I hope your cousin can come. Yes you are right they are at a dangerous age.(smile) Remember what we were like at that age.....

Love you

Good morning *Carol*

How are things going today?

I am sorry to hear what I knew the answer would be with ###. Avoid the issue. (Just like I avoid TRUTH like the plague!)

Hopefully you will get a good streak of weather so folks there will feel better. Too many days of no sun is not good for the spirits.

So, you are headed down to ###' place. How is she doing? You girls have a great time when you are together so have lots of fun. ### is a great place. Little warm for me that time of your but still good.

My sorry cousin has not answered me yet on staying with the kids. I may have to sweeten the pot by offering money. (My new target...er, wife just doesn't seem like she'd like me leaving her alone for now, so this time I will blow YOU off *Carol*) It would seem relatives would be willing to do things for each other without that. (How about married people keeping their vows?) I reminded her that I baby sat her when she was a tiny tot and she could at least return the favor.

We just finished Gas Mask Training. All Federal and military workers here have to go through training and be issued a Gas Mask. I don't know if that is required in any other area except DC but it is happening here. It stirred up thoughts of 9/11 in some folks just taking the training and being issued a mask. I cannot think about that kind of stuff or it will drive you crazy. (On 9/11 - Hicks told Wife #6 he was AT THE PENTAGON and didn't call her all day because he was busy with then fiance, Wife #7!!! Wife #6 was WORRIED SICK!!! and Hicks was nowhere NEAR the Pentagon!)

You have a great day and smile a lot. You have a beautiful smile. I miss it very much. (HAHAHA!)

Gas mask training. I bet that brought back military memories for you. (MILITARY MEMORIES?) I hope you will never have to use them while you are there.

Things are fine today. I am going home early and plan to take tomorrow off to rest from this job. Mostly to sleep.

I can't wait to get to some warm weather. However I'm still burnt from the sun in Hawaii.
### is fine. She had brought a new house in ###. But she is planning to move back to ### next year.

### is planning to retire after she sales her ### in ###.

We plan to relax, sleep eat good home made cooking and chase men...(smile)

I pray your cousin comes around. You are missed especially from the times we have shared.

### keeps asking about you. When I don't call her over a period of a few days. She thinks you are in town. She will say to me. "Is that man in town?" I have to laugh at her comments because she is funny! (Hopefully she is worried about you being with that SNAKE!)

Miss you as before
Love

Well, when I get there we will have to go by and see her. She must be lonely there in that house by herself.

Yes the training did remind me of military life. I look at it this way, if we get a warning that infectious gas is in our area it will be too late. We will have been infected by than. Just a false sense of security the Gov't wants us to have. Smile. (Not much different than the false sense of honesty & security you instill in all your targets, huh Ed?)

Sounds like you need some rest. I know with doing the scheduling there by yourself was a big task. One that sucks the life out of you. (LIKE I AM SUCKING THE TRUST OUT OF EVERY WOMAN I MEET!)

I won't comment on the chasing me statement. Smile.

### is going back to ###? What is the reason for that? I thought she was trying to get out of there for all their sakes. The kids and her Ex. (Like I run away from my exes, my obligations and anyone who unmasks me!)

I hope ### sells them okay. I would think they would be a very attractive business for someone in that area. They have to be profitable especially since the air lines are not serving food anymore.

You get out of there and get some well deserved rest. That reminds me of times past. Meeting you at your house and relaxing. Well, we could call it relaxing. I should say stimulating. Smile. (UGH!)

Be good. I am always thinking of you. (ALWAYS!!! define ALWAYS, Ed)

Love Always

ADDED NOTE: When Hicks & wife #7 Sandra were married? She would drop him at his job where he removed his wedding ring on his way in. NO ONE at his office even KNEW he was married! Nice touch, huh? UPDATE: Hicks has since been FIRED from this job while he was in jail for felony bigamy.

PREDATORY FUN WITH ED HICKS!!

Charles "Ed" Hicks was our first Predator of the Month when EOPC started this blog in October 2005. Hicks is better known as the 'Dr. Phil Bigamist' when Dr. Phil's show had 2 of his wives on who exposed him as the bigamist & online predator he was. Hicks spent one year of a five year sentence (4 suspended and he's on probation) for felony bigamy. Hicks is a PRIME example of the dangers of Online Dating as well as giving EOPC perfect examples of schizophasia (word salad), seduction techniques, mind control and a sociopath at the keyboard. Hicks is currently living in South Carolina and most probably -- back online.

"come and listen to a story 'bout a man named Ed,
a life of total lies and a legend in his head.
Then one day his last wife had him nailed;
ole' Ed, the bigamist, had a year of being jailed!"

Marrying man left loose ends
He was indicted on bigamy charge in Fairfax; Chesapeake investigates
BY PAUL BRADLEY -- TIMES-DISPATCH STAFF WRITER

ALEXANDRIA -- Call Ed Hicks the marrying man. On an Internet dating site, the 61-year-old described himself as being "in love with love."

So fond is he of the institution of marriage that the Alexandria man has exchanged vows seven times in the past 40 years.

But Charles Edward Hicks' proclivity for romance has left not only a trail of broken hearts and unpaid debts but trouble with the law. According to court records, four of those marriages took place while Hicks was married to somebody else.

In July, Hicks was indicted by a Fairfax County grand jury on a felony bigamy charge, a rare crime punishable by a minimum of two years in jail and a maximum of 10.

Late last month, however, Hicks avoided going to trial, seeming to slip through a loophole in Virginia law. The quirk led prosecutors to drop the bigamy charge against him, though they reserved the right to charge him again.

Meanwhile, authorities in Chesapeake are investigating Hicks and considering whether he can be charged with bigamy there. Chesapeake police have been in contact with Fairfax authorities and with two of Hicks' wives.

Today, he remains married to two women: Julie Flint-Hicks of Layton, Utah, and Sandra Phipps Hicks of Fairfax.

Or does he?

Undisputed, according to a marriage license, is the fact that Hicks married the former Julie Flint on April 15, 1997, in California. It was his sixth marriage. They have not divorced.

Also undisputed, according to documents, is that Hicks married the former Sandra Phipps on May 26, 2003, in the Bahamas. That would seem to mean that Hicks' marriage to Phipps qualified as bigamy.

But not so fast. In the eyes of Virginia law, Hicks and Flint might not ever have been legally married.

That's because court documents and marriage licenses show that when the couple wed in 1997, he was still married to his fifth wife, Rose Marie Sewell. They wed in 1995, and their divorce became final May 6, 1997 -- three weeks after Hicks married Flint.

Under Virginia law, if someone who is already married weds a second time, the two-timer is guilty of bigamy. But that second marriage is considered invalid -- in this case, that means the marriage to Flint.

So if a person marries a third time after the first marriage has been dissolved, bigamy doesn't apply. That's because the first marriage (to Sewell) had ended, and legally speaking, the second marriage (to Flint) doesn't count. That would leave the third marriage (to Phipps) intact.

That doesn't mean Hicks is off the hook, however. Because he and Flint lived for about a year in Chesapeake, he could be charged there.

Bringing bigamy charges is rare in Virginia. A computer search of 20 years of Times-Dispatch archives found the paper reported on 18 cases statewide in which people were accused, indicted or convicted on bigamy charges. Fifteen were men and three were women. Most punishments involved jail terms of less than a year.

Neither Hicks nor his lawyer, Richard S. Simpson, returned phone calls for this article. Simpson has said that Hicks "is dealing with some scorned women who are very angry."

To that, Phipps said: "We're scammed, not scorned."

Both Phipps and Flint are moving to have their marriages annulled -- Flint in Utah and Phipps in Fairfax. Both want their marriages with Hicks behind them, and both want to see Hicks jailed.

Flint said she was forced into bankruptcy and lost her car after debts Hicks had accrued on her credit cards went unpaid.

"He has done this time and time again," Flint said.

Phipps said she had to refinance her home to cover the debts racked up during her marriage to Hicks.

Phipps, who met Hicks on an Internet dating site, said, "He's an Internet predator. He targets women. He'll keep on doing it."

The women didn't always feel that way. Both said they fell hard for Hicks, whom they described as intelligent, charismatic and fun.

"He makes you feel like you're the only woman in the world," Flint said.

Phipps, a 49-year-old federal government employee, was living in Fairfax, he in Chesapeake, when they met online. For their first date, they arranged to meet in Richmond. They hit it off immediately.

Hicks said nothing of his wife in Chesapeake and said he had been married once before, Phipps said. She was impressed that he worked for the Army Publishing Directorate and held a low-level security clearance. He frequently traveled to Northern Virginia on business and to see Phipps.

"I've been around this town long enough to know what a security clearance means," she said. "I thought he was on the up and up."

They boated together, went fishing. Even before Hicks moved to Northern Virginia, Phipps took in his two teenage children into her town house. The couple married in 2003 in the Bahamas, where they had bought some property, looking forward to retirement together.

She had no idea he was married to someone else until April. It was then that she called the Internal Revenue Service to inquire about an overdue tax refund.

She was told the IRS applied the money to a tax lien from Hicks' 1999 joint return with Julie Flint. She called Flint, who told her she was still married to Hicks. Phipps kicked him out, changed the locks on the town house and went to police.

Since then, Phipps has waged a campaign to bring Hicks to justice. She and Flint have become friends. She has traced the information on Hicks' earlier marriages and flagged his ads on Internet dating sites. She has pressed police and prosecutors and pitched the story to the media.

"It is mind-boggling to me that in Virginia, my marriage may still be legitimate," Phipps said. "I'm determined to end his predatory career. I don't want him to do to another woman what he did to me."

A few emails good ole' Ed sent to a new victim while he was still married to Wife #6 and courting soon-to-be Wife #7!

Of course, Wives #6 & 7 did not know about one another and nor did they know about the new victims! It wasn't until Wife #7 kicked Ed the fabricator of lie upon lie out of her home and found a backup copy of his Federal Government Department of Defense work email did she learn about all the other victims.

Hi,
I'm at home. I just left you a voice message with that info but you might not check that for a while. I needed a day off so I called CXX last night and left a message that I wouldn't be in today. I can't do that often, and haven't done it before, but sometimes a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do. . .

The two of us are a pair. I don't ask for more of your time because I don't want to make you feel torn or conflicted about seeing me versus spending time with AXXX and EXXX. I always want you to be around; I wanted you to be with me all day Saturday and was hoping you were coming in to town Sunday. You aren't interfering with my routine; I didn't know that's what you thought. Actually, I'd like for you to be part of my routine but that doesn't seem to be happening very consistently. The travelling you're going to be doing only makes these pressures worse for you; I'm very reluctant to add to that by asking for your time. This has to be your call; if there's a time or event or something that I'd really like you to be with me I'll let you know.

You just called so I'm going to stop and send this to you.

Hi Honey (they love these cute names, since ACTUALLY REMEMBERING YOUR REAL NAME BECOMES A PROBLEM WHEN THERE ARE SO MANY!!!!)

First let me comment on the job interview. They will be crazy not to select you. I get a good feel for the type of worker you are and any dept. would be greatly enhanced having you on staff............ That opinion could be a little bias....... Smile.

I know what you mean about the pushes and pulls of our relationship. I feel the anxious times as well. (YEAH, LIKE SHOULD I BOTHER GETTING ANOTHER DIVORCE OR JUST KEEP LYING??) One for me was yesterday. I wanted so much for you to say come to Norfolk. I resisted my inner feelings of asking. (BECAUSE I WAS WITH MY WIFE!!!) I just don't want to interfere and I expect us to be straight forward with each other when it comes to time together......... How do we bridge the gap that is clearly evident when it comes to things like this? Suggestions welcomed............. (PLEASE HELP ME LIE!! PLEASE!!)

I was glad to hear your Saturday went well with all the functions you had on your schedule......... That would have been a great time to see you in your environment............. Smile.

Well the dreaded trips are starting. I have to be at Ft. Belvoir on Thursday. Possibly flying to Huntsville on Friday with the possibility of leaving Huntsville and going to Rock Island, IL. Sound like fun; well it is not........... I hate the south so Huntsville is not to my liking......... It is getting cold at Rock Island and I don't like cold............. ( I think the Huntsville thing is a go - Rock Island ?????????

Sounds like the perfect time when I get back for us to go on a GET ACQUAINTED TRIP to CA. I could be gone for a 1 - 1/2 weeks if things don't go well. If they do it could be shorter.

What is on the agenda for today............. Dinner in or out? How is the lake doing in front of the house? Has LXX heard anything from the Marines? GOD, I MISS YOU................ (I MISS ANYONE WHO IS STILL BELIEVING MY CRAP, or anyone who I have an OUTSIDE CHANCE of selling my lies too!!)

Dinner, Movie -- and a BACKGROUND CHECK -- for Online Daters

Kimberly Hall was twice betrayed by men she met dating online. Both turned out to be married.

So she started doing background checks on her dates using a Web site called Intelius. Now, the 33-year-old from Laurel is engaged to a man she met on Blackplanet.com, but even he had to undergo record checks.

"He wasn't happy" about doing it, Hall said of her fiance. But eventually he turned over his Social Security number.

In the past decade, sites such as Yahoo Personals, Match.com and eHarmony helped make Web-based courtship mainstream for 10 million current daters. But some seasoned veterans say the thrill of using the Internet's power to find soul mates has given way to caution. Singles now draw on a growing arsenal of security and research tools -- from services that verify identity and background to companies that provide temporary phone numbers as a barrier to stalkers.
