the death of Michelle Mundt: a year out/ Katie Houle suicide threats

This is the hanging time.
The anniversary of Michelle Mundt hanging, for ten days or two weeks, before she was cut down.

it happened last year.
my first contact was with multnomah copwatch (david kif davis): have you heard from Michelle?
michelle Mundt had spoken fondly of kif in her letters.


i tried not to believe it.
i called her building, and they sounded morose.
my letter had been returned, tipping me off.

i called the Coroner. They didnt want to tell me her method of dying. But i suggested her abusive ex-husband killed her.
so they attempted to refute that by explaining hanging.
they had talked to him, her babydaddy, "mean mate" as she called him, the man who strangled her, numerous times over the years.

her neck looked strained, with the sinews protruding under the skin, as if her neck was straining under whiplash.


after ben pickering threw me to the floor giving me neck whiplash, i saw my neck becoming like Michelle's.

Richard Mundt lives in SE Portland, and never faced any consequences for strangling Michelle, over and over.

He worked in Guantanamo.

So---rough guess of her death date was April 13, 2016. she was cut down April 26.
I just happened to be freaking out about Ben Clementine's song "adios" about walking in front of a train.  I was worried she was sick, and that's why the letters stopped.

So come April 15, 2017, i get more bad news, that kif is getting threatened with murder by HUD employee katie houle.
He has asked me to keep this private, but i can't.

it's just too horrifying.

she threatens to lie to police, to have him locked away, punch herself and say he did it.
she threatens to shoot him.

Less than 48 hours ago she was threatening suicide on the phone with me.

My physical reaction went like this Mid-Day april 15, 2017: find out david kif davis is being death threatened in is own home.
panic, terror, heart pain.

i recommend creating a paper trail, for his own protection.

sickness.
imagining loss.
the terror continues all weekend.
she sends me mean messages on twitter, trying to break up kif's safety line.
Philip wolf blocks her on twitter.
laura recommends a restraining order, and change the locks.
recording the abuse.
Monday morning i reach out to her employer, hoping they can give her medical leave.
I tell kif, explaining i dont care if he disapproves.
i have to follow my conscience.
Tuesday she calls to berate and scream at me. threaten suicide. curse at me. call me the b-word. order me around.
Tuesday night, i report her additional suicide threats in additional email to her employers.
Tuesday night she floods my twitter with messages, denying she was homicidal, but only suicidal.
she sends me "kif is mad at you" text.
Wednesday she sends me a "my sister's going to write you a cease and desist letter" text i dont see until after i've sent her a no contact request. her employers speak to her.

they recommend if she or i are in danger call authorities.
what about kif?
him too i presume?
threatening to kill someone is not a figure of speech.

Kif's gag request comes in a less authoritarian way.
i am in no way trying to humiliate anyone.
i find it humiliating to have his abuser verbally abuse me too, after threatening to kill my best friend.
the horror of being verbally abused and harassed by katie houle, and have her threaten suicide with me on the phone is my experience. it is a part of my autobiography now.

How do people react to having a best friend threatened with death?

mostly i want to be like oh--kif---what a hot head, i don't know him.
but, despite his grittiness, he's an actually sweet person.
and i dont think anyone should be death threatened.

my sincere hope is she stops threatening to kill him, realizes her actions have consequences.
i asked her if he is abusing her, if that is why she is threatening him with death.
its sad that society assumes abusers have a "good reason" but i really dont know, because i'm not there.
i hate that she is putting him in a potential law enforcement situation, and damaging his reputation by bringing an atmosphere of strife and violence into his world.

i could forgive anyone, anything, almost.
but his has cut very deeply.

i worry she will cut him off entirely from the outside world, and if the abuse continues, he will suffer it alone.
i hope, everyone will be happy and peaceful.
maybe i will never know.

in a sense, i'm not anti-suicide.
Michelle Mundt really challenged me on that, because it hurt like hell.
so intellectually i support personal freedom to die.
But in practice i dont like losing loved ones.

so if katie houle knows, i care about her co-workers and her friend enough to stop her death threats in their tracks, i do find death threats to be of significant ethical significance there is a PUBLIC RIGHT TO KNOW.

would you hire a death-threatening chick to babysit your kids?

so if any one is worried about the situation, i suggest get in touch with david kif davis, and pay your last rites.

be ready to see him go.
face that.
and accept that women kill.
and women threaten to kill.

it's a sick world.
and i dont care how polluted washington dc stress-out goes---there is a right and a wrong here.
i am clearly a good friend to give a damn.

now the portland police dont need any excuse to show up and get violent.
so please, katie houle, chill out.

and i you want to call me a "dumb bitch" all over the internet, really that reflects on you.
that's not a nice thing to say to anybody, and i avoid people who speak this way.
