This is what creeps me out the most about heidikin, that she can come up with this chit like it is nothing

I was wondering about the pics and how Catherine could NOT be suspicious of them. I'm not entirely clear of the timeline of everything, but didn't Kimmer put some of these pics up here (red dress, the one in the chair, etc) BEFORE the Kimkins.com site was started? If so, that would mean she was scouting Russian bride sites before Catherine's involvement.

Okay, before I go back to lurking, I want to say and Great detective work!!!

Thanks for listing these.... I'm trying to screen-print all of them, and a few looked like they could be real. I'll try to get those too, but I wanted to concentrate my efforts on the ones that were most likely to be fakes. I'm also starting to screen-print the guys before/after, so that we have them.

Here are the ones I have so far (I took a little break when hubby insisted I get some sleep).....

Anne, Bambi, Cammy, Catherine, Celeste, Cheryl A, Claudia, Diane M, Elizabeth, Genevieve, Gregg, Gretchen, Jasmine, Jillian, Joann, Kim B, Linda, Lisa V, Lori, Lucy, Marisol, Nikki, Pam, Raquel, Roz, Stefania, Susan, Melissa... and are these real --> Carolyn, Lei Lei, Misty

Were they up when Catherine was working on the site? Did they go up after? This whole "I'm innocent a pawn of Kimmer" is not ringing true to me either. It's more along the lines of, "OMG people are starting to question, lets get out and tell all we know and hope no one comes after us. I also think we can make some advertising money from google along the way if we post a blog."

Heidi is the main issue here, but I'm not letting Catherine off the hook if these were up when she was doing the web design.
If I remember correctly from Martin's posts, one of the red flags for Catherine was a questionable success story. But I do think we should retain some skepticism about her: what she knew, when she knew it. It would be good to get some clarification on your question.

I have also copied the pics off the same success stories and have them either in photobucket or tinypic with the links to those on word.

So now we are ready if we find the pics I can cut and paste what I already have saved and downloaded. That was what I was working on. I bet you were too...

The other thing I was concerned with is Kimmer deleting the pics. Her red dress pic is gone from the site but it is also not coming up in the google cached file. But I as well as others have screen shots of that.
But does anyone have screen shots of the success stories in case they get deleted?
It's all good, HoneyBee. I missed your posts because I was busy scurrying back and forth between here, old threads, Kimkins Russian bride sites and my documents. Plus I was half blind from looking at so dang many pics. I went to bed and got some much needed sleep (but still not nearly enough) once I knew you had it all under control. You are doing a great job.

I have to go make some money this morning, but will be back early in the day to catch up on the gazillion pages I'm sure ya'll will post while i'm gone.

I predict that pretty soon shy ol' Heidi will have tons of reporters from diff networks hanging around. This story WILL make national news thanks to the women here. The Russian photos insure it~_*

This is probably the biggest diet scam in history.. The amount of fraud being uncovered is so surreal.. truth is stranger than any fiction. There will also be a movie and maybe even a book..

It is like she felt she was untouchable.. Many psychopaths/sociopaths think everyone is beneath them in intelligence. That is usually their undoing. They feel they are untouchable.

You know, I was looking at the "success" pics on Monday and I noticed that the afters were not of the same people, but I had no idea how to find the real pics. What made you all look for Russian brides? She really put a lot of thought into this. It's sick.

I hope anyone who still "doesn't care" because the diet "works" stops to imagine Hiedi/Kimmer as she sat typing away. She came up with all these stories to con you out of your $59.95 and, judging by the absurdity of some of them, I'd bet she was giggling about her own cleverness as she did it. Do you care about that?
