Gail Nowacki Palmgren: Beyond the Mountain Top

Dr. Gail Palmgren age 44, mother of 2 vanished from Signal Mountain TN, on April 30, 2011. Weeks before she was in the process of ending her marriage. Gail does what I have instructed victims of intimate partner violence to do for over twenty years, tell a trusted friend.

Gail Palmgren confides in Arlene Durham, her best friend. She gives her various items, paperwork to hold for safekeeping, keys to property, along with her verbal and email instructions to pick up a dvr at best buy. Because of various spyware applications on cell and her own personal computer Gail is unable to facilitate certain safety plans as it relates to leaving. Her best friend, Arlene gives Gail her laptop to use.

At the urging by Gail's relatives and Arlene, Matt Palmgren reports his wife missing. Arlene gathers everything given to her by Gail and goes to the police making every effort to tell them what she knows and hand everything over. The police response was dismissive. Signal Mountain Law Enforcement decide to turn a deaf ear.

How many of missing persons cases's involving women and mothers in the process of ending their dysfunctional and often violent relationship have to go missing before it is taken seriously by law enforcement?

The case is now 56 days-cold! Many a missed opportunity, erased by, in my opinion, incompetence in this particular missing persons case. Arlene Durham's only "agenda" is finding her best, Gail. She has important information in this case that I believe is of significance to what happened to Gail Palmgren. Speaking from experience, no one listened to my mother, or all those thousands, like her who go missing each day. The crime of intimate partner violence that leads to homicide is still dealt with in silence behind closed doors. I am one of the lucky ones to have been able to find my mother after searching for three days and take her to what resulted in a final resting place.

I vowed the day my own father murdered her that I would not allow another woman to be a statistic. Arlene Durham is doing the same as she shouts from beyond the mountain top for help in finding her best friend, Gail. That cry for help now includes the media.

Earlier today, on the show "Times Up" Arlene Durham was a guest on the live broadcast along with Robert H. Rarn, Retired Lt and Kim Anklin Criminal Analyst, principals in the firm Management Resources, Ltd., we discussed the missing person case of Dr. Gail Nowacki Palmgren.

"Do what you feel in your heart to be right- for you'll be criticized anyway. You'll be damned if you do, and damned if you don't. Eleanor Roosevelt"

The only goal is to find Gail Palmgren. If you or I were to go missing, I hope my best friend would do exactly what Arlene Durham is doing, shouting from beyond the mountain top, until we are found!

Description of Gail’s Jeep

Gail drove a four-door maroon 2010 Rubicon Jeep Wrangler with a black soft top. The wheel cover on the back has the words “Life is Good” and a daisy painted on it. The trailer hitch has a picture of the Disney character Goofy on it, and the Jeep has Alabama tags that read “EAZY ST”.

Gail is 5’8” and weighs 135 pounds. She has blonde hair and brown eyes.

If you have any information about Gail’s disappearance or her whereabouts you are asked to call the Signal Mountain Police Department at 423-886-2123.

A Facebook page, "Bring Gail Home Now" has been created as a support for family and for news updates.

If you are in a relationship that has a history of violence, simply mustering up the courage to confront the person and say it is over, without the proper tools, can cost you, your life!


The book "Time's Up A Guide on How To Survive and Abusive and Stalking Relationship" is the prescription that every person must obtain before they announce they are leaving. Below is an example from Chapter 4, one of many unique tools provided in the book. It is available onAmazon.com, or you can purchase via e-book or on a CD. If you have questions, the email address is: timesupforjustice@gmail.com


Before you decide that you have had enough and are ending the relationship, create the "Evidentiary AbuseAffidavit" and video (shown below).

If you do nothing else, please take one important step that if something does happen to you, if you do vanish like Stacy Peterson, Vensus Stewart, Rachel Anderson, Susan Powell, Lisa Stebic,Kelly Rothwell or are found murdered like Monica Beresford-Redmond, Franki Jacobson, Renee Pagel,Summer Inman, and others where the person responsible has gotten away with murder, that your voice and record of the abuse will be captured and recorded. Do it for you friends, family and loved ones. Do it for your children. Do it for you!

Donna Jou Case: Follow The Money

"On May 06, 2009: John Steven Burgess pleated guilty to Involuntary Manslaughter

and Concealment of Accidental Death and dumping of Donna Jou, 19,

college student into the Pacific Ocean (due to lack of evidence to prove

or disprove his statement, the court accepted his fabricated story. )"

On April 15, 2011, after serving 2 years of a 5 year sentence, John Steven Burgess, will be released from North Kern State Prison, in California. This disturbing case is not about time served, but a dangerous sexual predator who, in my opinion, willingly, like a good foot soldier in his organization, falls on the sword for a much larger and dangerous international crime ring, human trafficking, child pornography and prostitution.

In August of 2008, when Burgess is arrested and charged with the disappearance of Donna Jou, he posts $250,000 in cash as bond. This man does not have 2 nickels to his name. No source of documented income. He owns no property. How is able to post that much cash? In addition, a heavy hitter lawyer initially represents him to the tune of approximately $60,000 during some of the court hearings. That is until Burgess signs papers releasing the attorney and represents himself.

While incarcerated, does Burgess enjoy a more comfortable lifestyle? Who are the individuals filling his prison bank account so he can purchase whatever he needs? Why is he not being released on a GPS monitoring device? Why is he not being discharged and documented into a halfway facility? Why is he being allowed to go out on his own minus any accountability? Who is his parole agent?

Burgess did not register when he was mandated by the courts as a sex offender before Donna Jou vanished, so why is he going undetected back into the community? That is outrageous.


John Steven Burgess is coming to a community near you.

Follow the money and you have your answers. Tragically, this case from the beginning had less to do with the disappearance of a Donna Jou and more to do with money, corruption and protecting informants. Follow Burgess and his connections and you may just uncover one of the largest criminal organizations that make the mafia look like girl scouts.

This entire week will be devoted to the release of John Steven Burgess. Also known by the name of Logan Anderson. Intimate number F95524.

On Tuesday, Crime Wire at 9:00 PM Eastern time will devote an entire hour to the release of John Steven Burgess and missing College Student Donna Jou.

On Wednesday, at 7:00 PM Eastern time www.therothshow.com will continue the coverage on the case.

On Thursday, on The Susan Murphy Milano show "Time's Up" the system, the money and what must be done in this case, prior to the release of John Steven Burgess.

Through out the week on the blog coverage will continue. Hopefully, everyone who reads this will post on their websites, twitter, social networking pages and write to the California Parole Board, Senator Diane Feinstein and Senator Barbara Boxer to express outrage over the release of John Steven Burgess.

There is still a $15,000 Reward for any information in finding Donna Jou.

If you have any information regarding Donna please contact your local

police department or call Los Angeles Police Department at 213-486-6900

A Letter to the Parents of David Hartley and the Media

When David Hartley was reportedly killed the tragic story of what supposedly happened on the lake that afternoon was told to the world by the last person to see David Hartley alive.

There are too many unanswered question about your son's death.  And after the holidays it is my hope that you the parents, perhaps with the direction of others in your community will seek answers and fight for the truth.  You owe it to your son, David.

The information below was released to the public 4 months before your son was killed. It is important to notice that the same story given by the sole survivor is similar as to the information released by authorities regarding the area.  They scared people on the lake and took money. They did not kill them.  Where people robbed took "photo's" is the same place the only survivor says they also went.  In the 911 call it was stressed what side of the water the tragic event took place.  Again, impossible.

It is very difficult to believe the person with whom we have come to know or take into our family is capable of causing harm.  I work on these types of cases everyday.  I have nothing to gain by pointing fingers or accusing anyone of any crime it serves no purpose. I work and am successful in saving lives, but learn from those who are silenced by those who profess to love them.

To the David's parent's the events of September 30, 2010, as told, are impossible.

On May 17, 2010 -Law enforcement agencies urging caution on Falcon Lake

Citing several armed robberies and attempted armed robberies on Falcon Lake in Zapata County, the Texas Department of Public Safety, the Texas Parks & Wildlife Department and the Zapata County Sheriff’s Office are strongly urging boaters on Falcon Lake to stay on the United States side of the lake and not venture into Mexican waters.  http://www.txdps.state.tx.us/director_staff/public_information/pr051810.pdf

Three reported incidents since " April 30" have raised concern among law enforcement officers in the Lake Falcon area. Two of the three incidents involved United States citizens who had gone into the Mexican side of the lake, passing the International Waters markers. Most of the incidents occurred in the Old Guerrero area, but it’s possible that other areas are a concern as well. Fishermen are advised to stay as far away as possible from any of the Argos-type fishing boats typically used as fishing vessels by Mexican fishermen. These boats have a large prow, a small outboard motor without a cowling and no identification numbers on the hull.Several bass fishing tournaments are scheduled for Falcon Lake during the next few weeks, and officials are concerned that they could be in danger if they cross into Mexican waters while they fish. One of the incidents occurred in U.S. waters. This weekend, Zapata County Sheriff Sigi Gonzalez, will discuss these concerns with bass tournament participants. He has been working with Texas Parks and Wildlife regarding security matters on Falcon Lake. The DPS Border Security Operations Center and the Fusion Center are working with Zapata County and Parks and Wildlife to review protective measures in the area.

The robbers are believed to be members of a drug trafficking organization or members of an enforcer group linked to a drug trafficking organization who are heavily armed and using AK-47s or AR-15 rifles to threaten their victims. They appear to be using local Mexican fishermen to operate the boats to get close to American fishermen.

• On April 30, five people in two different boats were fishing on Falcon Lake and went to the Old Guerrero area, where they were taking photos of the old church. While they were there, a boat with four heavily tattooed men approached the two boats quickly. The men identified themselves as “Federales,” but they were not wearing uniforms. The men boarded the boats, demanded cash and asked “where are the drugs?” The fishermen told the men that they had no drugs and were just fishing and taking photos. They ended up giving the men $200 cash-  www.txdps.state.tx.us

To the media I am asking that you assist the parents of David Hartley, it is the least you can do since providing a national platform from the only "witness" without checking details and facts.  And as you each understand the "devil is always in the details."    The world was given a story based on events similar to those on Falcon lake in prior months.  Obviously if this area was "so dangerous" why would there be a bass tournament?  Why not cancel the event it if it was going to cost lives?  Because there was no real danger only what was sensationalized in my opinion after the death of David Hartley.   In these types of cases they are called intimate partner homicides. This is where a spouse either a man or a woman related to the person missing or killed used other events in their story telling as they hope the person will never been found and if they are the truth of what really happened can not come back to them.  David Hartley's case can in my opinion be solved not by finger pointing, but with the facts and evidence. That is what myself and others provide to families and law enforcement.

The longer time passes the more difficult it will be to solve the case.  I am asking that you consider my words from someone who knows first hand these cases.  Although when my own mother was murdered in 1989, I was fortunate that her body was discovered within a few days.  And it was soon after I trained to work in this specialized area providing a balance for truth and justice in crimes involving the last person to see their spouse alive.

Finally, and more importantly, where is the body of David Hartley?

Why The Roth Show

With the numerous talk radio shows airing on radio stations and on the Internet, why listen to The Roth Show? If you are tired of the same old talk radio shows that fail to thoroughly examine and investigate critical issues facing our nation because they promote a specific political agenda, then The Roth Show is for you.  Are you weary of talk show hosts who claim to be hard hitting, yet are disappointed when they fail to address the deeper issues that endanger the freedom of every American?
