Marty Prehn: Man, Myth, or Monster?

Your faithful correspondent is busy on a Top Secret project.  In the meanwhile, enjoy this memory of our humble beginnings.

When I decided to give this a try, I had big plans for a post.  I was going to link court documents and quotes to support my ideas about Marty.  After extensive research and questioning people that know him, I decided he was just not worth it.  Bill Windsor at one time had a large following he called the "Nobodys". Marty is literally a nobody. I wanted to expose him for what he is but with the exception of about five people, no one cares who he is. 

We all find humor in the outrageous claims he makes but deep down Marty is a very disturbed narcissist desperate for attention and accolades.

This will be the first installment in a series that will review a man whose life has and never will amount to anything. For this segment, I'll cover his claims regarding his poor mother. No one in Marty's family will speak to me about him for fear of the harassment they are sure will follow. That means I have to piece together the story from reviewing all that has been posted 

For the 17 years preceding the death of his mother, Marty depended on his parents for all of his financial needs, as he was unemployed that entire time. He had the ability to manipulate his father into paying his way through life. It went as far as having his parents pay for not only his home but also a cottage on the lake near the one owned by his family. 

When his mother's health began to fail, he convinced his father to establish a trust and name Marty the successor trustee. This would insure Marty access to his parents savings and that they could continue to finance his life even after his father's death. When his father passed, Marty became his mother's primary caregiver. That was the beginning of a nightmare for Marty's mother and his siblings. From the information I've been able to gather from people who know Marty - who shall remain anonymous - his care of his mother was severely lacking. 

While Marty spent his days dinning out for all meals and generally just trying to act like a big shot, his mother, suffering from old-age related dementia, was left lying in bed all day with only the TV to keep her company. When word of the poor treatment reached Marty's sister in Colorado, she took action and moved her mother into her home in Colorado. Marty didn't object to this until his control over the savings accounts was stopped. With her daughter, his mother now had health care and even an in-home caregiver that would be there when a family member could not. From all accounts she was well taken care of in a very loving environment. Marty's sister dedicated her life to making the final years of her mother's life as enjoyable as possible. This high level of care required resources. A new power of attorney and trust were needed to provide for Mrs Prehn and when Marty refused to allow the family access to the accounts they were forced to legally take control of them. 

Marty then started to legally challenge the Colorado ruling.  He would claim to have documents to back up his claims, but even after being given time extensions to produce them, never could. His legal challenge finally ended when he was required by the court to provide an accounting of the money spent while he was in control. He refused to do so. After Marty's legal challenge failed, he then began an online hate campaign against his sister. He went so far as calling her a murderer and circulating an online flier, wishing death on her kids - his own nephews.  I find it interesting that none of Marty's siblings joined him in questioning the sisters actions regarding their mother. The only child in the family that objected was Marty and that wasn't until he lost control of the money. You draw your own conclusion. 

Marty now continuously seeks pity and charity by saying he is homeless after two foreclosures at the hands of his siblings.  Actually, the properties were foreclosed on because Marty could no longer use his parent's savings to pay for his personal expenses. But here's the rub; Marty shouldn't claim to be homeless. He inherited the family cottage on the lake. It was paid in full with even the taxes covered by his parent's estate. A search of property records show the transfer of the deed into his name and it remains there as of this writing. Marty's parents worked their whole lives in order to own their homes.  Marty, on the other hand, only had to wait until they died so he could own his.  I have no idea of the habitability of this property, as Marty claims to reside about 190 miles south of it.  

This story cannot be told without pointing out the incredible price paid by Marty's sister. She did everything in her power to provide for her mother in the most loving and respectful way possible. I'm sure Mrs Prehn's final days were the best they could be because of the love her daughter showed her.  Now she is harassed by a monster who cared about no one except himself.  He has even gone so far as to sic his real or Facebook friends including Helen Childers and Barbara Nemeth on his family.  

Marty didn't even bother to attend his mothers funeral.  Rest in peace, Bernice.
