Brandy is Gone!

Lorraine Day, M.D.
It is sad to say that Danny Shelton has not even settled the financial portion of his divorce with Linda, his second wife,
five years after he divorced her, and now his third wife, Brandy, has left him.
Walter Thompson, Chairman of the Board of 3ABN puts the blame on those who have improperly “attacked” Danny. “Why wouldn’t Brandy leave after having to put up with all the problems caused by these attacks on Danny?” goes Thompson’s story. Of course Thompson never mentions that Danny Shelton brought his troubles on himself by his misdeeds – including his false accusation of adultery directed at Linda and Danny’s forcing Linda out of her job, her marriage and her home within a 3-month period of time – so he could marry the young wife who has now dumped him.
“God will not be mocked. Whatsoever a man sows, that shall he also reap.” It appears that the “reaping” has begun.
What’s Happening in Court?
3ABN and Danny Shelton who have been dragging their feet for months regarding documents the court has ordered them to produce, as well as with the scheduling of their depositions by Linda’s attorneys, have finally turned over a box of documents to Linda’s attorney. Whether the box contains the documents ordered has not yet been determined. But even if they do, these documents cannot be made public because of the “Protective Order” frantically obtained by Danny and his attorneys so all the information can be kept from scrutiny by those who have supported 3ABN for years. Just WHERE has the money been going?
Please note that Linda fought the “Protective Order” because “Protective Orders” are often used to “protect” the guilty.
Linda has nothing to hide.
The Infamous Tape
Right before I traveled to Southern Illinois on April 29, 2009, for the DNA testing, I asked Danny Shelton via e-mail to bring the infamous tape to our meeting, so I could hear it. This is the tape that Danny claims as “proof” that Linda was having an adulterous affair with the doctor. This is the tape that Danny said, several times, he “might” send me, but never did.
But now that I was to be there in his territory, I pointed out that he could bring the tape and play it for me without having the tape leave his possession.
When Danny arrived for the DNA testing, he said he did not bring the tape, but that when we were finished, John Lomacang would bring the tape and allow me to listen to it.
Indeed, John Lomacang did show up later with the apparent tape in question that had been transferred to a laptop computer. I was only allowed to hear select portions of the tape. The tape only recorded Linda’s voice. It is not possible to identify the other party on the line or hear anything the other party was saying. It is impossible to know the identity of the other party on the line. If Linda called the other person by name at any time, I was not allowed to hear that. So, as far as I am concerned, it is impossible to know the person to whom Linda was talking.
Nothing on the tape that I was allowed to hear proves in any way – or even suggests – an adulterous affair.
In addition, according to Illinois law, it is against the law to tape a phone conversation between two people unless BOTH people know it and approve it.
Therefore, Danny – who claims to be the one who taped the conversation – has broken the law. There have been times when Danny has tried to justify to me his right to tape Linda’s conversation, saying that he did so in her car that he says was jointly registered in his name and hers.
The truth is that Linda’s car was registered solely in her name, but even that fact has nothing to do with Danny’s illegal act. Irrespective of who owns the car, it is against the law to tape a conversation without both parties knowing it – and agreeing to it.
The Pregnancy Test
After Danny first made the accusation of “spiritual adultery” (and later – physical adultery) against Linda in late February or early March of 2004, he became obsessed with having her followed by private investigators, rifling through her belongings himself, and recording her conversations. His actions were so bizarre, Linda couldn’t figure out what had happened to him.
When Linda would confront Danny about going through her belongings, he would deny it.
Linda and her daughter, Alyssa, decided to play a trick on Dan and came up with the idea of buying a Pregnancy test to “plant” in her belongings, knowing that Danny could not let that go by. He would have to accuse her again of adultery – citing the pregnancy test as his “proof” - and thereby he would have to admit that he had been regularly rifling through her belongings.
And that’s exactly what happened!
Danny fell into the trap.
But Danny still tries to use that as “evidence” that Linda was having an affair. There are at least two major problems with that accusation by Danny against Linda:
- 1. Linda knew that Danny had a vasectomy several years before. It was not a secret to her. If she had really been having an affair, she certainly wouldn’t have put the pregnancy test in a bag of other things she had just purchased and placed them where Danny had access to them.
- 2. By the time this episode occurred, it had been 3 months since Linda had seen the doctor with whom she is accused of having an affair – a man she had only met twice! If she had indeed been having an affair, she would already have known – at three months - if she was pregnant and would not have had to buy a pregnancy test kit
.
Danny was clearly “grasping at straws” to try to fabricate
any type of incriminating evidence against Linda – no matter how
far-fetched it was. Linda now agrees that hers and Alyssa’s plan to play a “trick” on Danny was not very “funny.” But at the time, she had no idea why Danny’s behavior had become so bizarre. Linda had no clue that Danny had already made plans to divorce her
long before she traveled to Norway, in February of 2004, to visit her son. The evidence to support this last statement will be revealed in due time.
