I noticed an article article the Times ran several years ago, regarding someone currently going by the name of "Randall Dana" (http://www.nytimes.com/2007/05/20/nyreg ... ef=thecity).

It is probably good for the Times to know that the person currently calling himself "Randall Dana" is actually named Randall Pepe. He has a history with a great deal more hatred, destruction, and violence in it than the sanitized version presented in the article run by the Times. Full details, including an "autobiography" he posted in the 1990s, can be found here:

viewtopic.php?f=18&t=2324

I was one of many people whose lives were damaged or destroyed by Randall Pepe during his periods of violent attacks - today I still deal with the consequences of what he did to me and my family. To see him shedding his old name like a reptile and rebranding himself as an "artiste" is disgusting - the only way he will ever be able to face the future without having his past come back to haunt him is if he acknowledges his past and the horrible things he has done.

Please feel free to contact me if you or anyone else at the times needs additional details regarding "Randall Dana." I spent nearly $15,000 on private investigators tracking him down in 2000/2001, as he has a habit of creating many fake names and hiding behind many fake stories. The real story, unfortunately, is far more horrible than anything he likes to present to the public.

We drove over there tonight, was a lot of traffic due to a controlled house
burn by the local fire dept, suited me fine

Observed: Yellow house, screamed "rental"... no visible street number (which
would tend to fit randy's paranoiac mentality... but it's the only house
*on* the 600 block on either side.. it was framed at both ends of that (small)
block by 500s and 700s. One thing strange: that house should've been odd
address, there were even addies on the other side of the road. Unless they
number strangely anyway. House had two cars parked, couldn't see the one
tag, was on a brown foreign car like a toyotski. Couldve been a honda,
but his honda was blue IIRC. Car parked in the drive, IA tag # 450 82S,
a blue GMC car product.. maybe a caprice, looked 80s or early 90s maybe.
Any way you can check on the tag?

I saw no visible presence of his bus, either at Dobs or at the house. If
that car belongs to someone else, it's possible (wouldn't surprise me either)
that he moved and didn't update, after you revealed his info... and the
house is rented to someone else. I'll see what I can work from this end
to possibly find out who the house belongs to.. public records at county
courthouse should show ownership... with the amount of junk behind the place,
it's either a very tolerant landlord, or maybe dobson owns the place.

This came from the friend with whom I was staying about 15 miles south of
Pepe's place. Cost him a whopping 50 cents.

So the shithole property belongs to him. I'm impressed... with it's
shithole-ness. It's a genuine dump, and unless he's renting the place out,
that car probably belongs to him. Chevy or GMC which makes sense since the
only car dealer nearby is GMC products. Did you ever turn up anything on
him WRT an NCIC search for past convictions? Xxxx's PI friend apparently
turned up some info back in 97, the PI started with "looks like this guy is
no angel." If the info was correct, he's a multi-time convicted felon. He
claims to have guns, although AFAIK you can't without some special actions
legally to permit it. I don't know that he's ever acknowledged that info,
in fact I think he pooh-poohed it, and before I'd attack him with it I'd
like to know for sure that it's accurate, since my only source was secondhand.
Since he likes claiming that zoophiles are going to be the next Jeffery Dahmer
or something, it would be good to bash him with his own words.

Did you ever get confirmation that the car was his? Not seeing his old
Honda isn't a surprise since he hated it, according to him back in 97 when
he moved there, the heater didn't work very well. Not an issue in
Roseburg... definite problem in Iowa. heh. Figure he traded it in on the
newer car.

Re: Old times, eh?

This will be my only communication with you as you seem to be going out of you way to attract my attention like a child with your domain games and subscriptions. As far as the above, that's just fine, I don't care, but don't forget that I have the full dossier on you as well saved and that there are a number of zoos out there who know who you are and hate you more than they do me.

I never called your "mom" I wouldn't waste the phone call, or my time, you see Mr Spink, unlike you I don't waste my days fretting over decade old hurts. As you claimed you hated me so much it's rather laughable to see you become exactly the same, a decade later.

Only a disturbed individual, such as you have become would waste time and money on little ole me, buying domain names and going through all the stupidity you are now, but that's just fine because it's your time to waste and your money to throw away.

Someday you will discover there's more important things in life than wasting your time on such pettyness.

...

3. Randy posted extensively throughout the web, in his zoobuster phase, stating he was an "ex-zoophile" and how disgusting zoos were, and on and on and on - sometimes under his own name, sometimes under one of his many aliases.
...

The book describes the author's sordid problems with weight, IV drug use, and divorce, it's quite clear from the book's contents that the author turned to bestiality as a cop-out from the real world.
The story reads like a boring Times Square porn shop rag and attempts to convince readers that having sex with an animal is somehow normal or "ok"

Bestiality is ILLEGAL in most states, with more states passing laws against it, all of Canada, UK, AU and most other countries. This book is promoting illegal activities and condoning sexual assaults on animals, sorry but this book belongs in the garbage can.

Compared to other things done/said by this group, this is pretty tame, but I wasn't expecting to find remnants of that Inquisition, nor to see that "asairsinc" had made their own Amazon account. Another thing I found unfortunate was that the top 2 tags associated with this book were "delusional" and "ghastly".
