“He used and took prescription medications of others to quell his habit,” Miriam alleged. “He made me feel trapped and hopeless as a result of excessive control and lack of liberties placed upon me…Because of all the aforementioned abuse, stress, and circumstances, I became physically ill after months of diagnostic tests, blood transfusions, and other medical procedures, not only was I diagnosed with blood disorders caused by stress, my body was what seems to be near death and I had no choice but to leave.”

Shane denied Miriam’s allegations and claimed that she took their two children from Orange County to Utah without telling him. “In November 2007, Mother Miriam went to Utah with our children for the Thanksgiving weekend and never returned to California,” Shane said in his declaration obtained by RadarOnline.com.
