Subject: Ally Farson Profile
Ed:
Here's a "quick and dirty" profile on Ally Farson. I'm still receiving information on a daily basis, so this profile will be
updated as changes occur.
Allison Elizabeth Farson was born in London on 24 August 1971. I've no information about Ally's parents, Ed. All I do know is that Ally's mother (and
grandmother) comes from one of the more wealthier and influential families in the United Kingdom. But, again, I've no information about what happened to her parents (strange).
Ally has two
siblings. An older brother, Robert Farson II, was born twelve years earlier (DOB unknown), and a younger sister, Frances Rachael Farson (DOB unknown). What's also strange, Ed is that I
can't find any information on either of them! I don't know if they're living in the UK, or here in the US.
Ally's grandfather, Bob Farson, resided in the UK during the period 1970 to
1976. He is an aerospace engineer, and he was a consultant for the USAF at RAF Lakenheath. Scotland Yard has been uncovering evidence that Bob Farson very abusive to his daughter-in-law, Ally and
her siblings, and their grandmother, which is why he terminated his services with the USAF in the spring of 1976. However, he brought along Ally's grandmother (Wilhelmina Browning) and Ally back to the
States with him, and bought the home where he and the Mrs. Browning live today. Bob Farson is independently wealthy. He designed and patented aerospace equipment, which is used on military and
civilian aircraft. More on this later.
Ally's childhood was, to say the least, pretty tumultuous. During her grade school years, it's apparent that she was a very good student, but
disruptive in the classroom. One of Ally's former teachers said that her classmates genuinely disliked Ally. For what reason, the teacher couldn't say. But, she was hazed and tormented
daily, in and out of school.
Ally Farson had no real friends in school. She did have a friend outside of school, when she was about 11 years of age; a fellow by the name of Tom Sturka.
Sturka (who is legally blind, by the way) stated that he began talking to Ally on a daily basis during the school week for a period of six months. He remembers her to be a very articulate, imaginative
girl. Tommy wasn't a classmate (home schooling), but he recalls how Ally would stand in front of his house and talk with him for hours. Then for no reason, Ally stopped coming by. Tommy
could not give a reason for this. He genuine liked Ally Farson.
I'll be giving you a chronological list of the various violent episodes in Ally's past. (And, Ed, there's a lot of
them!) Most of them have to do with Ally reacting to her being hazed, or being slighted (real or imagined) by someone.
Ally began high school in August 1983. Once again, Ally was a very
good student, but unpopular with her peers. Ally's student counselor, Delores Borden, told me that, when interviewing her, Ally would fluctuate from being withdrawn and quiet, to happy and animated, to
snarling angry. She does recall that Ally's favorite subjects were literature, history, and geography and, also, Ally was very active in the school's Audio-Visual Club. Ally, again, had several
episodes of violent behavior during these four years. See the next memo for details.
Ally graduated from high school on June 1987. She then enrolled CSU Fullerton, and majored in Liberal Arts.
She graduated in 1991, and (oddly enough) she didn't have any incidents while going to school there.
Now, Ed, here's where it gets interesting: From 1991 to 1994, Ally Farson just disappears!
Inquiries with Ally's grandmother reveals that Ally was "sent away" to Ireland. But, upon further questioning, I was told that it was Scotland. When I told Ms. Browning that I could arrest her
for giving false information to a police officer, she declined to speak to me further, stating she wanted a lawyer first. (Ed, this may be significant: There were six unsolved murders in the area
around Dublin, Ireland and three in Edinburgh, Scotland, during this period! All victims were bludgeoned with a hammer, or other blunt instrument! (Interesting!)
Ally Farson returns in the
summer of 1994 (according to the neighbors). They all say that, although Ally made them nervous, there were no incidents. In fact, a neighbor remarked that when her four-year-old wandered away
from the house, Ally found her, and brought the little girl back to her. She said that Ally had a very gentle way with little children, which most of the people I've interviewed agreed. (Very
interesting!)
Finally, last year, Ally Farson enrolls with USC in the basic film course. From what I've been told by her classmates and instructors, Ally was quiet, civil to everyone, but very
distant. All agreed that Ally seemed driven while taking the course. It was like (as one of her classmates remarked) she was on a mission or something.
Once again, the Farson family is
very wealthy. Ally Farson withdrew $400, 000 in cash from the Eldorado Bank prior to her committing the murders, and there's no telling what offshore accounts the family may have. (Bob Farson,
before he took off, is said to have remarked that he could disappear forever and not be found because he had enough money to buy an island if he needed to. It might be true, Ed. I heard that Ally
remarked to the little girl who wandered off that she (Ally) was a Princess in the Royal Court of Tortoise Cay in the Cayman Islands!)
Well, Ed, you've got the gist of it. You'll see in my next
report the turmoil Ally Farson had in her life. Truthfully, Ally Farson isn't the only crazy in the picture. Her whole damned family is!
If you need to know anything else, Ed, call me. In
the meantime, I'm just slogging along with this. Anyway, my regard to Lucille; hope she's feeling better.
Respectfully,
Raymond J. DeLima
