“I can remember being in that courtroom like it was yesterday. When she turned around and saw us, she almost shit her pants.”

 

“I don’t want that bitch resurrecting her ass and maybe, maybe hooking into me somehow.”

 

“See, when you’re honest and you tell the truth, you ain’t got to worry about what I tell Charlie, Mike or Louise, you know, because I told them all the same story. But when I went over to see Tom they had the armor up, you know? She had already talked to them and told them don’t let this mother-trucker in here he’s uh, you know, he was in the joint and all this stuff, you know? And when I went there, they would – the female nurses – they wouldn’t get any closer than five feet to me. But along with myself, the priest that came to visit Tom, his doc – the doctor, doctor that knew me very, very, very well, who is an established doctor at the Latrobe Hospital – The Queen – R E Y N A – it means “The Queen” in Spanish, and I always tell him, you’re a queen all right, you mother-trucker. But anyway, he turned the tide, he said Oh no, no-no, no-no, you – she told you exactly the reverse – whatever she said about him, is her. And the saint that she tried to make herself, that’s him. I never got a penny off of that man and um, I didn’t want a penny off him – I did it because he was my friend.”

Context: After Tom Butler took up residence in a nursing home specializing in care of elderly dementia patients, Lynda schemed to isolate Tom from all the people in his life who knew him and cared about him for years. Although she’d lost her LPN nursing license nearly twenty years earlier, she still remembered “nurse talk” and was able to convince the staff to turn away all visitors for Tom, allowing only her to see him. Recall, in the months leading up to Tom moving into the nursing home, Lynda had used his credit identity to order hundreds of items from dozens of online vendors for herself as well as to opening up new credit cards in Tom’s name, but without his knowledge, for her exclusive use.
Lynda told the nursing home staff that it was Tom’s “so-called friends” who were taking financial advantage of him and to protect Tom from these people, the nursing home should not all them to visit. The staff actually believed her – for a while. As the speaker in this audio clip, Carl recalls, although Lynda had slandered him causing the staff to deny him access to visit his lifelong friend, the support and good word from a priest and a doctor on his behalf made crystal clear to the nursing staff who should really be denied access to Tom. From that moment on, the nursing facility protected Tom by blocking access to Lynda. Tom’s old friend and attorney even got involved by making sure the nursing home staff never let Lynda in the building. Reports were, that she made a few attempts.
As Tom’s condition worsened a computer crimes officer from the Pennsylvania State Police conducted an investigation into Lynda’s “Elder Abuse” and Identity Theft of Mr. Tom Butler’s financial identity. A judge signed off on a search warrant and Ms. Kerr’s apartment was entered by the police and her computer was confiscated as evidence. The state was building a case against her which would have resulted in years in prison.
But suddenly the District Attorney dropped the case and an explanation was given. Mr. Butler’s mental functioning had deteriorated to a very low point. The DA felt that he was no longer capable of providing competent statements and couldn’t understand the things they were saying Lynda did to him.
Lynda seized this opportunity. Her “defense” for her actions, she said, was that Mr. Butler “gave me permission” to use all of his credit cards as much as she wanted and to open up new accounts in his name.
Without a credible victim / witness to testify, the DA knew he had an unwinnable case, so it was dropped.
Ms. Kerr narrowly avoided being convicted of multiple felonies that would have led to years in prison because Mr. Butler’s dementia worsened when it did.
Shortly after that, Mr. Butler died and Lynda’s search for her next victim began anew.

A letter from Lynda to Tom, found amongst his possessions after his passing confirms that Lynda (and Nick) was barred from seeing him.

“What she did was, what see, see, now you remember now, she grabbed the car, she grabbed the new Honda and they were going to, they were going to use it, you know they were going to drive that mother-trucker into the ground, and, I called her and told her if that car is not back here by ten-o-clock tomorrow morning, I’m turning all this over to the police department, and when I went there the next morning guess what – the car was sitting right there in the breezeway.”

Context: Shortly before Tom Butler entered a nursing facility for what would be the rest of his life, as a consequence of his diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease, he suffered a stroke and was hospitalized. Lynda and Nick seized upon this opportunity to commandeer his new car. They drove it for almost two weeks before Carl – Tom’s dearest friend, caught wind of it and got involved, demanding that Lynda return the car. With the threat of the police getting involved, Lynda returned the car.
