Are you Esther the Delano Voodoo woman? - By N.L. Belardes


Beware!!

Yesterday I was trying to help punk rocker Heath Dobbler find a home for his dog. Today it’s a different story. It’s helping you avoid Esther the Delano Voodoo Woman.

You’ve all heard of Delano, right? The farmworker town 30 miles north of Bakersfield in the Central Valley, the cancer cluster capital, the land of the voracious blackbirds with 70-foot-high dust devils spinning out of control.

Now there’s Esther the Delano Voodoo Woman on the loose.

Maybe you can catch her. Maybe she will catch you!

Maybe Arthur Chilling can rescue her demon-possessed body from the land of tainted grapes.

Abooogaboogaboo!


Watch out! She’ll make you give blood and money to spirits and saints and show you her bag of magic sawdust!


maybe she can be a tourist attraction... Delano can open a coffee house in her name...

Delano Police Department
Press Release
Date 10/05/06

I would like to inform the public of a current scam in which the victims are approached by a female handing out flyers. This person identifies herself as Esther and that she is able to spiritually heal or solve all of the victim's problems. The female suspect tells the victims that they have to either give blood or money to the spirits and saints so they can be healed. The suspect then says a prayer and she some how exchanges the bags and shows the victims a bag of sawdust. the suspect tells the victims that their money would reappear over night. The victims are then instructed to return the next day to retrieve the purified money for the healing to be complete. When the victims return the suspect has vacated the apartment and is no where to be found.

If anyone has any information regarding Esther they are encouraged to call the Delano Police Department at 661 720-2275 or the Detective Division at 661 721-3387.

    At the risk of sounding cold, anyone who would fall for these types of scams needs to be institutionalized.

    To anyone who disagrees, I've got some magic water for sale... it's guaranteed to seperate you from your money.
