Hi! you do not know me, but it looks like you know Sheldon and Darlene
Christel. I've been tracking them all over
the country, they live here and there and move on a few months later.
I wonder
what the heck they have been doing.
I tracked them to NM, she told some one they had this fancy house in
Bernallilo, NM but they sold it and were moving
to Las Vegas to be near their daughter and they would be buying a house
there
and Mexico where they planned to live
the winters in Las Vegas, and the summers in Mexico in the house they
were
going to buy there. How can they be
living fancy when they owe so many liens and judgements.
