In the letter he tells his story referring to it as the “story of the century”. He had tracked down his natural mother and felt it was the greatest joy of his life after the birth of his own son. He then states in the letter that “unfortunately, my mother had other concerns that came before reuniting with her grandson and myself.”
The FBI stated in this article that in addition to the phone and fax messages she was receiving the adoptee mailed her packages of baby clothes, toys, light bulbs, and rocks. He also placed an ad in the NY times that read “Roger, sadly taken away as a baby from his mother in 1966 announces with joy the reuniting with his mother, “ followed by her name. The adoptee also went on to contact relatives of his natural mother which included his natural birth grandmother who resides in a nursing home.
He admits in his letter to the NY Daily News that some of his letters were nice and some expressed his hurt and some had bad language but insisted that they were not threatening.
Approximately a year after making initial contact with his natural mother the adoptee allegedly left his 9 year old son at his natural mothers office. The adoptee is divorced and has custody of his son and retrieved his son after the adoptee was tracked down by the New York Police Department.
According to the adoptees adoptive father the adoptee always felt rejected. The adoptee was adopted through a Jewish social services agency in Washington and was treated fro emotional and learning problems as a child.
This adoptee sounds to me as if he has a controlling personality. His actions show that he wanted to manipulate his natural mother through any means required in order to get her to see the world as he did. Maybe he wanted his natural mother to see him as the loving son he had built himself up to be in his mind which was a son who spent years trying to locate her, trying to reunite this family and therefore most likely find some measure of peace in his own life.
I noticed in the articles I have read that the adoptee no once apologize for the problems he caused the woman he claims to love so much. He has no feeling for anyone but himself or the well being of anyone else. It is almost like he believes the world revolves around his desires and all those who do not agree with it must be conspiring to hurt him.
I can’t help but wonder what else he would have tried had he not been caught.
