A Shockingly
Powerful Story;
A True Crime Exposed.
by Officer John Caravella
 /retired



What Adele Fraulen might have thought to be nothing more than a meaningless bad dream one night in 1935 would actually come true. At age 79 she would find herself living a nightmare -- a struggle for her life, simply because she innocently trusted the wrong professionals to help with her portion of a Million Dollar inheritance; they would steal her very existence. Her neighbors, Chris and Patricia Zurillo, would realize that Adele's life was going terribly wrong and dedicate themselves to freeing her from captivity. “Marked For Destruction” is a rare book that exposes an ever-expanding crime against our elderly.

FROM THE AUTHOR

AN ESSAY:  REFUSE COURT EXAMINATION ORDER

          FREEDOM FROM INTERFERENCE

Imminent danger to the alleged incapacitated person, who is criminally and civilly innocent, begins with a court ordered pre-trial examination by an examining committee.  

Court ordered examinations, and examining committee members, are controlled by statute.  If indicated, the committee's examination must be comprehensive and include:
1. A physical examination;
2. A mental health examination;
3. A functional assessment;
4. A diagnosis, prognosis, and recommended course of treatment.

Court ordered comprehensive examinations of such innocent persons' minds and bodies may be unlawful.  ...read more

CHEMICAL RESTRAINT:
ABC News Article - Chemical Restraint


 
"I found 'Marked For Destruction' to be a very compelling and heartbreaking story, and despite the positive ending there were no clear-cut 'winners'.  I think (this book) highlights the true cost of the crime that was committed against Adele, and the inability of the system to 'make it right' in the end.  Those vultures stole something even more valuable than Adele's money; they stole her precious time.  It's a lesson to us all."

TELEVISION SERIES:
  
Thank You to the producers of "Boston Legal" for
portraying this story's theme, highlighted by the performances of Betty White
and Norma Michaels as Adele.  Norma Michaels captured the desperate plight
Adele lived and provided a portal to the significance of this crime in today's
society.  The life-altering events of this story unfold daily in our own
backyards.

About The Author:
John Caravella patrolled the streets of the City Of
Wauwatosa (Milwaukee County, Wisconsin
) from 1976 to 1989. Citizen trust resulted in his clearing arsons, armed robberies, missing fugitives, dozens of  burglaries and two homicides.  After retiring, he volunteered his investigative skills to help others.  “That is how Adele came into my life,” Caravella said.  "I learned that she was 'imprisoned' and had to be freed.  Through this book, Adele’s voice exposes the deceptive schemes used to keep her quiet."
