When Angel was 17 in 1993 she was getting into serious trouble. At
the time she was living with her mother, Beverly Barteaux, in Modesto and
going to high school, but not doing well. She had been caught for shop
lifting, crashed her car, purchased for her by her grandfather Barteaux
entirely wrecking it. She was also dating an older guy, the manager at the
local Taco Bell there in Modesto and unwilling to accept her mother's
rules.
She had been attending high school but was not doing well.
During a domestic dispute over her staying out with her boy friend at
night a physical argument erupted. Angel called the police and had her
mother jailed.
Her grandparents and her brother and sister-in-law, Jillkster, were
all fed up with her. Her mother was no longer willing to have Angel living
with her, either, when she turned to them for help, again. Angel had lived
with her grandparents on and off over the years. They could not deal with
her.
It was decided, probably by Dean, she should just move into Richard
Senior's home, vacant since is death two months earlier. Therefore, she was
shipped off with a girl friend, Brandy, to live at the house in Cheyenne,
Wyoming, which had belonged to her father.
Jillkster accompanied the two girls and got them settled in, ensuring
they had all they needed. Jillkster was also the one handling the allowance
and paying the bills. Angel had to do nothing but go to school. A new Ford
Escort was purchased for her. Angel complained because it was not what she
wanted.
Brandy only lasted for 24 hours. She called Jillkster from the home
of Richard Senior's old girl friend, Peggy, begging to come home because
Angel was being entirely unreasonable about everything.
Jillkster says Angel was a pathological liar and refused to cooperate
on anything. Angel signed up to go to high school, attended for a month,
then dropped out. The partying began immediately.
She was outraged to discover her allowance was cut in half because
Brandy was no longer there. “Tough,” said Jillkster.
Shortly thereafter, just a little later in 1993, Jillkster received a
letter from Chayla Rae Brown, a connection of Peggy's , telling them Angel
was using drugs, not going to school, and hanging out with a druggy guy,
Jason. Disgusted, the Barteauxs stopped sending Angel any money.
The house was in the names of Angel and her brother, Richard, Junior
as tenants-in-common. Ignoring the fact she did not actually own the house,
Angel sold it, taking the entire proceeds of around $76,000.
The following year there was a shot gun wedding because she was
pregnant by Jason. Married October 14, 1994, giving birth on January 9th of
1995.
Jason was working as a cook at Denny's in Cheyenne. Angel was staying
home. The couple was receiving food stamps. Shortly thereafter she became
pregnant again with Sarah. The new baby was born May 31st, 1996.
While she was pregnant with Sarah, Angel began calling the Barteauxs
for help. Her mom, Beverly, went down to help when Sarah was born. The
Barteauxs spent $86,000 for a house trailer so she and her kids and husband
would have a place to live.
After Sarah was born Jason began battering her. Angel sent pictures
of her bruises.
By October 1996 Angel reported the abuse from Jason was too much for
her to take. She decided she wanted a divorce and to return to California
and get a trailer home there.
The trailer was sold at a huge loss. Angel returned to California in
the same Ford Escort which had been purchased for her when she relocated to
Cheyenne.
The Barteauxs again dipped into Angel's trust fund and bought her
another trailer home, this one in Modesto. The divorce was finalized. Jason
paid nothing.
Angel was sold a used Jeep Grand Cherokee, which had been owned by
Jillkster and Richard, Jr.
An attempt to allow her to have credit cards ended after one month.
Angel had blown through $20,000 on trinkets and junk.
Right after she moved to Modesto she met Damann Rogers and, again,
fell in love. Rogers adopted her kids. They lived in the trailer home
purchased for Angel until they got the inheritance after Betty died and
then bought a house, where they still live.
The Barteauxs paid for Damann to go to school to repair copiers.
Today Angel does passion parties, selling sex toys, to make money and
receives a monthly stipend from her trust fund.
