After reading this, I think about Jimmy Shiplett. They gave him a gun, and sent him to die. And he did it
I wonder what happened to his motorcycle
Golly Ned on a day that "I am just swinging thru "(barrowed that from Setko), something has caught my eye.
Jimmy Shiplett’s motorcycle.
This blows my mind to see this question so many years after the fact of Jimmy's untimely death. I vaguely remember two residents talking by the bar in the dinning room of house known as three in Poland Spring , Maine . They were talking about how they had not gotten much sleep the night before considering they had been woken up and asked to go pick up a motorcycle from Kenny Zaretzky's place and dump it on the side of the interstate. They also talked about how odd it was , though they did it.
At the time it did not make any sense to me and it was something I just heard them talking about. These were two residents that had been in the program for a while.
It all makes sense now because when I asked Zaretzky why he had been pulled back in and the story, he told me about his involvement in Shipletts death (in a very matter of fact way, chilling and mind blowing to a 15 and half year old young man) and that he was pulled in to hide him from the authorities questions.
As I now know it was to protect Ricci’s golden cash cow, Elan. Elan was just starting to take off as serious money making scam for Ricci. He could not afford any lunacy like this to cast any negativity on his incorporated money making cult. Joe Ricci and his serial child abusing henchmen were more concerned about bilking money from the states for fraudulent and criminal pseudo treatment for those particular states children., than they were about a former graduates death at the hands of another graduate.
It also made Ricci and his henchmen feel like they could do anything and get away with it. Ricci and his cretins that helped him run élan felt invincible. They knew they could do anything and get away with it. Look at how they turned the tables on Mary Leahy and the Chicago child protective services, which incidentally had Ricci and élan dead to rights, into the debacle that it became. This of course is another Elan bedtime story.
The incident with Jimmy Shiplett made me realize just how dark and diabolical Elan truly was and just how sick Kenny Zaretzky was. And at what lengths Ricci would go to protect what we now know as his criminally abusive child mind rape mill . It made me realize how helpless and trapped I was in this hell hole called élan at the time.
I know for a fact this is something Kenny Zaretzky took with him to his grave. And more than likely something joe Ricci and his henchmen held over Kenny's head till he died.
