A Criminal Mind
Abstract
In this chapter, Dr Langley provides her own personal eye-witness accounts of the incidences of criminal activities that Rob and his family members were involved in throughout the six and a half years of her forced imprisonment. From walking into a huge shed whose walls were plastered with an assortment of firearms ranging from hand pistols to military-grade sniper rifles with long-range scopes, to a family dining table covered with hand-made bullet shell casings of various calibres during family reunions at his brother’s house and a sister-in-law prison officer who smuggled drugs to her inmates, it all seemed straight out of a Hollywood movie. Rob’s continued theft of items from his workplace eventually led to police visiting Dr Langley’s home and questioning her. This was further exacerbated by Rob’s dealing of high-level narcotics and bringing home large wads of cash in his bulging wallet. In addition, Rob was accustomed to committing insurance fraud, intentionally damaging and destroying two of Dr Langley’s cars and telling her that they were stolen and vandalized. It was only several years later that Dr Langley discovered the truth behind her missing cars. Each time Dr Langley questioned him, he would lash out his violence on her, leaving her incapacitated for days.
