Post from my mother, Its time for the truth and nothing but the truth !!! As Jonathans mother when I was 26 years old it was February 1982 I rode to the park on my lunch hour from Harrells ferry Road animal Hospital where I worked. My friend was riding in on the trail ride and I went down there to meet her at lunchtime. As I was standing there holding her horses rains Edwin Edwards walked up to me and started talking he asked me if I like horses, of course I said yes. He told me that I can have all the horses in the world if I really wanted them. Without exchanging phone numbers even though I told the man where I worked I started getting phone calls from him. By the way he was not acting governor in 1982 David Treen was. Marci Banton who was the veterinarian at the time who would answer the phone put him on hold and tell me your governor is on the phone. After a few weeks I consented to go meet him. As he said in letters to me from prison he said that he would not be persistent with a woman that did not respond to his overtures. But its like I told him I was curious I never said no so you kept calling until I consented. I went to the Belmont motel on the corner of airline and Winbourne Avenue and a car with two men told me to follow them. They took me to some apartments on Jefferson highway and pointed to the door I was to go into. (And by the way in the letters I ask him if he ever had Access to or had an apartment on Jefferson highway?(in 2008 in a letter from prison, which I still have every copy of every letter from him to me and me to him even a copy of the envelope from the prison and Fort Worth.)he evaded that question. but I have had a friend that can confirm that her friend and her know for fact that he had an apartment exactly where Im talking about, so that part I have proved. (Im sure apartment records can be subpoenaed to court.) Edward Edwards was sitting on the sofa waiting for me when I got there. One thing led to another and without going into detail (to keep this G rated)I left with no further contact with him. Not because he didnt want to but because I found out I was pregnant and totally flipped out because I was scared to tell anyone and I mean anyone. (I finally broke and told my best friend Fay Hill, Les Kirkland and Mary Suggs Ourso.)I was seriously scared for my life and the life of my very much wanted unborn child, (I had to have surgery toward the end of the prior-year to be able to get pregnant because I was not able to conceive, evidently,the surgery worked) I had more fear than I had ever had from any and every wild crazy thing of ever done. this had me nauseous, nervous, looking over my back, scared for my life and my unborn child that I wanted so much. On November 1, 1982, I gave birth to Jonathan 7 lbs. 4 oz. 20 inches long the most beautiful baby Ive ever laid eyes on at womans hospital in Baton Rouge Louisiana. not just because he was mine but he was perfect in every way. I was wishing I could let his biological father know just always curious about how he would respond but I was still scared and did not know how to go about doing it since he was still married to his first wife, and with that being the first and only time I have went with a married man I so apologize to his first wife not knowing any of the situations or circumstances behind their marriage. The last thing I ever wanted to do was cause problems or break up a marriage. I had heard he was a womanizer and he did this all the time so I guess that played a role in why I finally gave in and excepted his proposition. I had a lot of friends that were politically Women and I thought I could play that role in life but after that one time I decided that was not what I wanted to do with my life. I did not want to sleep with an older man to have all the great material things in life. I did not want the fancy things in life if I had to do something I didnt want to to be able to have it all. My dad raised me to work for what I want and that I would appreciate it more that way. Ive had it all just maybe not all at one time but Ive had the Fine Cars, motorcycles, horses and the nice houses but what means the most to me is having the beautiful children that Ive had. Three boys and one girl happy family, perfect size. As far is Edwin Edwards I was never able to totally get over the idea that he was Jonathans father. I mean were talking Mafia here and A man that can get anything done without getting caught. (Well I say that now but he eventually got caught and went to the federal penitentiary serving eight out of 10 year sentence released to his daughters house and Denham Springs serving in house and then got an early parole. now he thinks he can run for six judicial seat in Congress because he cant run first to any office in Louisiana. This world and the laws that exist makes absolutely no sense at all) and according to my communication and what Im saying he is now married to a younger woman in her later 30s, that is very controlling and greedy. Just recently she sent me a very threatening and slandering message on Facebook when I tried to reach out to her as a mother? Dont understand that one because we were not threatening her. before I could answer her degrading, slandering message she blocked me. Before he went to prison he was also married to a young 32-year-old nurse whom he had frozen some sperm just and case his current wife decided that she would like to have his child/ children while he was in jail or after he got out. His second wife ended up divorcing him while he was in prison and she is now happy and married and has kids with her husband. I feel like if I could have a heart-to-heart with her that she would probably help out in the situation. She is actually good friends with my ex sister-in-law and her husband and Louisiana. Im working on that one. The one that hes married to now is so greedy she did not waste any time using the frozen sperm to have their son which is now probably about a-year-old give or take a few months. His first wife was very tall dark headed, very politically involved I respect her. I feel sorry for the fact that she had to tolerate the lifestyle that he lived while married to her. The current wife has made sure she has her security in life and that she will be a part of his will because by having the child sealed that dilemma. The second two wives are both tall blondes and so am. How ironic? It that seems to be what his biggest attraction is. LOL !!! even though we, my son Nor I do not want any of their money or anything to do with their morals and life lifestyle, we just want a final episode of the honest to Gods truth for my sons closure on who his biological father is. Anyway my friends I am searching for my friends that stand beside me no matter what! and my best friend at the time who knew exactly what happened and was beside me the whole time the whole pregnancy. I need to find out where she is at this time because she knows the whole story. I am not making this up it is the Gods honest truth. I have an aunt who used to work really close to Edwin Edwards for some reason she is scared to death and doesnt want me to mention her name. I dont know if she scared of Mafia, scared Edwards or what the reason is but she knows the whole story and has read all of the letters and communication that him and I had while he was in Fort Worth Prison system. After seeing pictures of EE and my son side-by-side from baby pictures on up said OMG He looks just like himbut yet refuses to get involved. I was separated not divorced and living with my mother when I agreed to go me Edwards when I found out I was pregnant I was scared for my life and for the life of my unborn child scared I would be alligator meat, or get my brake lines cut. I was raised in south Louisiana and I was honestly scared for my life. I know people can disappear and never be found. I know most of the people in the back of Edwards book Carlos Marsellus, Bennie Realan, in fact I actually dated Bennies son before I ever met Edwin Edwards but my aunt had to quit dating Carlos because of what he was and what he did related to where she worked. And in the meantime I ended up using the guy that I was married to and separated from for the use of his insurance to have the baby. I made a mistake by putting his name on the birth certificate. then after that I met Joe Levell who adopted Jonathan and we had three other kids. I told the other man (ex husband) after I had Jonathan and had separated from him before I got pregnant. I lived with my mother while I was pregnant and when I had Jonathan he came to see Jonathan when he was six weeks old but I told him it wasnt his child and to leave me alone and lets finish get a divorce because in Louisiana if you were pregnant you could not get a divorce finalized while youre pregnant which that is what happened. At this point I lived with my mother with Jonathan until I could afford to get the two of us an apartment and that is where I met the father of my other three kids and the man that adopted my son Jonathan. I never heard from the ex-husband again after I told him what I did. I did not know that back in the day if a woman got pregnant and told Edwin Edwards that they just got paid off. I have verbal proof of that from an Edwards family member. they didnt get killed. boy was I dumb? But you live and learn. I raised my son as my best friend and my compadre just him and I until I met his adoptive father which we divorced in 1991 and 1994 his adopted dad told him it wasnt really his child and then thats when I had to tell Jonathan the truth and nothing but the truth all of it every detail. Jonathan has been on the computer and trying to chase down Edwin Edwards since he was in the ninth grade, he was a minor when he first started to try to put the pieces of this chaotic episode in his life together. Now I feel like hes being cheated in his life, his biological father will not acknowledge him as far as not even want to give a DNA sample which in my eyes just seems to say Edwin Edwards is guilty and he refuses to prove we are right or take that chance to see if Im wrong? but by not wanting to give it up its kind a like an admission of guilt he scared of the truth. Ive never known a ex governor to be scared of the truth or anything for that matter because theyre on a power trip in the office they hold. Why should he be? because of Jonathans age hes not after money, is not entitled to it, doesnt want it, he doesnt want to dad hes got one, he doesnt want anything except medical history, family history, to tell his daughters which one of them has had seizures and it doesnt come from my background and number one reason is closure for going through a lifetime of just knowing the story and not knowing 100% of the truth. He has always believed me but because of his masters in psychology he wants to see it in black and white. Cant say that I blame him. I will go the rest of my life until I take my last breath proving this to my son. There are routes I can take that nobody knows about and Im going to pull my strings. now. Even if you dont want to be involved if you are subpoenaed in court you have to tell the truth. I have a few more people to locate but hopefully that wont take long, thanks to all our computer technology. To all the people that did not know this I apologize for just blurting it out but its come to that point in time. I need all the support I can get from friends and family for myself and Jonathan , his wife and two daughters. Thank you for your consideration and your support. This is a G rated version of what happened and resulted in the birth of my firstborn son. I love you Jonathan and your beautiful family.
