Savannah, GA

I got a flyer from this weirdo today. Older, pudgy black lady in a funny white hat.

Wow. What a nut ball.

Savannah, GA

I just ran into marilyn gibbs today and recieved a piece of paper that is very similar to the one described in your blog. I live in savannah ga and she was in the campus library when she approached me with the paper.

Orange Park, FL

I just read your blog. Well as of today, 7/17/09 Marilyn is in Orange Park, Florida right outside of Jacksonville. I was at office max today in orange park, faxing something and let me tell you she stuck out, she kept mumbling things to herself she had all of her stuff (many copies, her black backback, water and a can of food sprawled out on the office max copy center counter. I noticed her because she was standing in front of me as I was waiting to ask the customer service rep about faxing. Anyways she had a bunch of bags (grocery bags) with something in them and she was stapling her highlighted papers on them. As I was waiting to pay for my fax, she handed me one of her papers and told me it was about Martin Luther King. So anyways I said okay thank you (I didn't want to be rude). Well anyhow she looked normal, nicely dressed and smelled heavily of perfume (so did the paper she gave me). She flagged me down in the parking lot as I was leaving and asked me if I would give her a ride. I politely told her I couldn't because I had to be somewhere (I DO NOT GIVE STRANGERS RIDES). Anyhow she walked away mumbling. So I get home and look over the copied papers she gave me, I was like what the heck!! IT made no sense. She spoke of her microwave technology and a raft and how Obama got elected from the 900 million, 800 trillion and all the money madeon her microwave technology 667 rackaterring offenses. Everything was quite funny but made abosolutely no sense. She also attached a brochure from some womens care center that she wrote a bunch of mumbo jumbo on about how the center put every black women out of the shelter to keep her and the shelter safe. It was really weird. And I noticed she also gave a white man in office max the paper also. She did not give any of the balck customers her copies. She also attached her Florida driver's license, some other identity card and a benefits security card...very strange...

Miami-Dade, FL

While on the TriRail in Miami-Dade county of Florida I found a copy of Marilyn Gibb's manifesto that seems to be different from any copy or documented record of the letter that I have seen online thus far. I will be scanning and uploading the copy of the letter, which is both back and front, and is addressed to a David Bleakney with the Canadian Postal Union. If anyone has any further information once the scanned images are uploaded please post to this blog as soon as possible.

Tavernier, FL

This encounter was so odd I was dying to get online to google this woman to find out if she was a missing person or a wanted criminal. Long story short, My family and I were on vacation in the keys and gave Marilyn a ride from Tavernier, Fl to Big Pine Key, Fl. from there we gave her money and put her on a bus to Key West. Before getting on the bus she gave my husband a handful of papers that she insisted we take. I thought at first that it was just the letter she wrote asking for help but, when I got back to where we were staying I discovered that she also gave us a copy of her Birth Certificate (lot of info there),copy of her Fl ID card and a copy of her Social Security Benefits card. There is a greyhound bus ticket receipt with notes written all over it and then there is also a copy of a lot of receipts with notes written all over them re: box and line rape??Warm up technology,sexual assaults in bathrooms, etc. From the info she left with me, I can say that her current plans are to get to San Juan, Puerto Rico (passport not needed there), she wants an identity and a race change. The hour or so she spent in my car she was very polite and very grateful. I am a nurse and about 100% sure that she has a mental illness. Whatever Marilyn is searching for I hope she finds it. Like I stated earlier, I do have her photo ID with address in Miami, her DOB and all of her other info from her Birth Certificate, I would not feel right posting everything about her on this blog. I will say that she has a twin.

Minnetonka, MN

I'd like to report a sighting of Marilyn Gibbs that happened around March, 2008. My dad and I were driving near the Ridgedale Center in Minnetonka, MN, just outside of Minneapolis, and as we stopped at a red light, she approached from the median, and signaled for my dad to roll down his window, which he did. She handed us a 15-page photocopied pamphlet, said something like, "I'm an activist!", and then walked on, presumably to other stopped cars. I still have the pamphlet, and I happened to be typing in the words "Mrs. Kunston Sawyer Rodwin Ringwald" to Google, and that's how I found this blog. The last few pages of the pamphlet include bus and train tickets that appear to map out her itinerary: from Effingham, IL to Sacramento, CA by Greyhound in January, 2008; from Martinsburg, WV to Chicago and then to Minot, ND by Amtrak in February, 2008; then from Bismarck, ND to Fargo and Grand Forks by March 8. She has handwritten next to the ticket "Crookston, Bemidji, St Paul, Golden Valley," which I assume is how she ended up where we encountered her. In retrospect, I feel kind of honored to have run into Marilyn, and I hope she ends up safe.

Valdosta, GA

I work a domestic violence shelter in Valdosta, a woman called our crisis line around 5:00 pm saying she had been given a ride by a elderly couple because she was walking from another home that she and her boyfriend were at. The woman refused to give her name or tell if there was any abuse. She was told she could not come in unless she could give us her name (its our policy). She gave the phone to the elderly couple and they said that the woman would not leave their home and was becoming upset and yelling. It was suggested that they call the police. Later that evening around 8:00 the lady showed up at our dv shelter. It was explained to her the process in which we accept people into the shelter. She refused to leave saying that her boyfriend was a cop in another county. The shelter was forced to call the police to remove her from the premises, she left but later called back to know why the police was called on her. She stilled wanted to come into the shelter but again she was refused because of behavior. She was volatile and hostile and could not be place in the shelter with other women who were seeking safe shelter.. Later that night the shelter was called again but this time it was from our local homeless shelter, they had the same lady there and she told them that our shelter employees dropped her off there which was not true, but at least she gave them a name, Marilyn Gibbs. All in all it was a really scary situation.
