I think what he means, Chat, is that no matter what, it always goes in circles. You ask me to post something, and I do, or someone else does, then a couple days later, you say the same thing, ask for proof, we post it, you ignore it, turn around a few pages later and ask the same things, or you...

See my last post. (pictures, DNA, detectives, circumstances) Well whoever is in that picture, she looked exactly like AA!

I have given you many, MANY examples of her insane behavior, including the rooftop tirade at the Jennings'. Is your memory really that short or do you just enjoy playing games with me?

Nope. Take a look at my picture comparisons. So that's where the 'squirrel' comment came from, a person who only met her a few times. I'm not even going to bother with the Botkins, you know what I think, and of course any FS family member would have to keep denying her once they did initially...

I really think the evidence strongly supports her being FS. The DNA matched the FS family with 99.9% accuracy, she disappeared in the same time frame and in the same place AA showed up, detectives in the 20's found her to be FS, and their faces are identical, right down to the eyebrows that fade...

All I'm saying is that as FS she was declared insane, her behavior was insane throughout her life, from her suicide attempt to her old age and in between, she had many brushes with the 'men in little white coats' that average sane people don't have, and where there's smoke there's fire, or as...

It may be a piece of evidence for consideration, but not proof. It is, in the end, just something somebody said. How do you know how well FS spoke German? Oh that's right, because she was AA and AA chose to use it. My guess is that the reason AA sounded the way she did is because she was...

The news stories clearly tell that her court appointed guardian put her in there, and that Jack feared her being taken to a mental institution. There had to be a reason for that. You keep claiming that she was only in for 'observation' and that she was being sent to a regular hospital instead...

Yet when you really compare pictures that aren't blurred, shadowy or posed, their faces actually look nothing alike. I doubt the voice, too, since the languages and accents were so different, and that so few people had heard the real AN talk enough to be a judge of it. Also, the handwriting...

Haven't you said before to believe Kurth's book instead since Lovell didn't always have accurate info (for whatever reason) Actually the story states that she was in one already, and that Jack feared she'd be taken to a mental institution. I have already posted the link and the text. Again...

[/B] But don't you always call Lovell a liar, or at least an embellisher? I see nothing of the kind in the newspaper stories. Read the Hook article again. It's not my invention.

All we have is word of mouth and the details are all different. AA clearly chose German as her main language, something FS would have done but not AN. I'm saying, reading from a piece of paper, or writing words down, does not prove proficiency, FS knew how to pronounce German words. So...

Six years? Sigh, we've been through this before, too. As Olga A. said, Queen Marie was the ONE person in the family liberal enough not to be shocked or judgemental of it, however, Irene Hesse was one of the most prudish, making it silly a real AN would have hidden from Marie to seek out Irene...

Where on earth did you get this? I see no such verdict. I see a court appointed attorney guardian saying her commitment would not happen IF Manahan found viable options, which means it was possible. What do you mean, he feared quite a few things? Are you trying to say he was the paranoid and...

But sometimes this is really all it amounts to, as no skills are gained or remembered. That doesn't mean you know what you're saying. Anyone can read from a piece of paper. The skills and proficiency of each individual varies greatly and you cannot make this blanket statement. As long as...

Then WHY did Manahan fear she was going to be put in a mental institution? We have a direct quote from the arresting sheriff that he said it.

Doesn't prove a thing. She did a lot of research and posted it here. AND YOU DON'T??!! As I have said many, many times, you have to consider what a shame on the family an illegitimate pregnancy was in those days. People would go to such great lenghts to hide them they'd send girls away...

This does not prove anything. As for 'mistakes' she had a harder time with the cyrillic alphabet. Copying down words means nothing. I could do that, anyone could. This is NOT TRUE! One of our posters here recently told you she could translate in several languages in writing, but couldn't...

Apparently, the Sheriff didn't know what language it was, or he'd have said.

Again, we have this from BOTH sides. Everyone isn't right. The DNA proved who was right, and it wasn't AA's side. From the Daily Progress article, Dec. 3, 1983: Manahan was taken to the Albemarle sheriff's office and later appeared for a bond hearing in the county court. He was released...

It is on BOTH sides. THEN WHY DID HE FEEL THE NEED TO ABDUCT HER AND GO ON THE LAM?! What you claim is very different from the news stories of the time. Manahan "said he was very concerned for her welfare," (Amherst County Sheriff Michael) Cox said. "He said that's why he took her away...

This is all based on your assumptions. It is possible (and my brother and several friends I know are an example) for a person to study German in school and not know it or be able to speak or understand it. Just because you have lessons that does NOT prove she 'knew' any German. Several people...

It could be. FS left home to work in Berlin in 1914 when the war broke out, that gave her feet six years to get that way. Yet, as Elspeth has shown us, there is no medical basis for any of it. You have to remember and consider these people had denied her, for her and their own good, and...

Here is an article from the Daily Progress (Dec. 3, 1983) discussing the "kidnapping" of Anna Anderson by John Manahan. The quote about him being afraid of her being committed came from Michael Cox, the Amherst county Sheriff himself: "ANASTASIA" IS FOUND; HUSBAND WILL FACE CHARGE AMHERST...

That's because he got her away in time. Must have been somebody at the hospital. Only the bribe is alleged, his statement of believing she'd be put away was something else. He said it. If you want to know more, write to the author of the HOOK article and ask him. That forum is heavily...
