Luke Wenke sent this letter to the federal courthouse in Buffalo while detained at the Cattaraugus County Jail in Little Valley, New York in November 2023. In it, he tells the judge about how he has started mailing letters to a victim’s wife because he believes that it’s perfectly legal for him to do so. At the time, he was actually banned from contacting the entire family due to a state-issued order of protection and the conditions of his probation prohibiting him from doing so. From my understanding, while the woman he sent the letters to wasn’t explicitly listed on her husband’s restraining order, the order’s protections extended to her by default of her familial connection to the person listed on it.
Also, never mind the fact that openly boasting about contacting the spouse of someone who wants to be left alone is extremely stalker-like and creepy, whether it’s being done legally or not.
He also rambles about his desire to sit down and “talk things out” with me and at least one other victim, even though he knows I want zero contact with him. Letters like this make it clear that Luke Wenke was terrifyingly obsessed with me long before this website existed, and that this website is not a provoking factor of Wenke’s behaviour.

USA v. Luke Wenke – Document #92 – LetterPage 1
“Dear John Sinatra,
This is my final ‘third time is the charm’ letter to you from here as we approach that November 7th date I just learned about. My heart is not racing at all, I am looking forward to a positive outcome. You listen to the entire courtroom before making a decision and you were so perfectly nice in August I absolutely walked out of that courtroom regretting not having spoken.
I know you know very well I have been doing the ‘Only Lauren [last name]’ letter thing. It is not illegal in one way shape or another after re-reading legal paperwork from Frank Passafiume,1 but I am remembering former Congress candidate Nate McMurray’s brother Todd McMurray screaming at his mother on the phone at Niagara County Jail even though she had an order of protection against him and the judge felt bad anyways.2 I recall watching Judge Jeanine on Fox scream ‘We don’t have a justice system’ on tv at Chautauqua County Jail during the ‘Hunter Biden’s sweetheart plea deal’ chapter of recent American history and then the judge blocked the decision and Judge Jeanine shouted ‘We have justice’. I recall your perfectly intact humanity this past August so as you have already received preparation for the ‘Luke is talking for himself’ defense, it is now time for some more humanity on my end.
I will start off by saying positive things about both Katie [last name] and Brett [last name]. Katie first since I have known her face to face way longer. I remember her coming into Salamanca Subway when I worked there in 2010 while also a student at Bruyer’s Martial Arts of Olean. She had a very special yellow ghi she bought for herself. She was married to [ex-husband] at this time. After she left Salamanca after her divorce,3 her and I talked online up until 2014 when I saw her again in Brooklyn while she was an NYU student. It was around this time I was taking a class through Edge Studio in NYC I traveled to attend in person. After NYU she spent a lot of time living elsewhere and so we did not see each other face to face again until 2018 on two separate occasions. She can perfectly recall her cat being out in Wisconsin and my help taking her out there, summer 2018 we drove around every state in New England and she took the picture of me in front of the Betty and Barney Hill abduction sign in New Hampshire. She sat at Mt. Herman Pole Dojo4 when I first opened that place, she took a picture of me in her house at the end of 2020,5 I gave…”
1. Luke Wenke was already being detained for contacting victims in violation of protective orders and court-imposed contact bans when he wrote this letter admitting that he was mailing letters to his romantic obsession’s (Ryan’s) mother. Here, he doesn’t seem to think sending letters to the victim violates any rules, but he was banned from contacting her via a state-issued order of protection that Ryan’s father, Brett, had obtained against him, which prohibited Wenke from contacting the man’s family members.
2. This is just my opinion and I could be wrong, but it seems like Wenke is trying to low-key justify breaking orders of protection because he believes a fellow inmate got away with doing so and that perhaps his “situation” will be viewed in a sympathetic light.
3. Not that it matters, but I didn’t buy a “very special yellow ghi” for myself. I received one as a gift, and it wasn’t particularly special to me. I also find it extremely stalker-like how Luke Wenke obsesses over my past relationships and exes, especially since I don’t even think about most of the people from my past who are mentioned in his letters. And I didn’t move away from Salamanca after my divorce. I left during my divorce, so Luke Wenke’s timing is inaccurate.
4. Mt. Herman Pole Dojo was Luke Wenke’s failed pole dancing studio. The now-shuttered business was open for a few months in 2019 before permanently shuttering its doors.
5. Untrue. I snapped a photo of Luke Wenke at a family member’s house during the summer of 2020. I only saw him in person one time after that, when I paid him $10 to take me on a beer run while visiting some friends in Lackawanna later that summer (he was driving for Uber at the time).

“…her a crockpot back in 2021, and the documented phone calls between her and I while I was at Niagara County Jail should still be there. My first two letters to you have given you plenty of leads on other aspects of her character I expect there to be an equilibrium on before the court hearing so Judge Jeanine can also scream ‘We have justice’ if Marianne Mariano also wants to testify against Katie,1 but the point is Katie and I know plenty of happier times.
Brett [last name]. Met over text September 2020 after his son’s arrest but never face to face. There are pictures of myself and Elexya [last name] together in my FBI Discovery in 2020 and a picture of her and Benjamin [Ryan] together too in Brett’s house in my FBI Discovery. Brett can recall me emotionally blurting out the words ‘father in law’ to him over text Sept. 2020. He provided me with a picture of his then-14 year old son with former Governor of New Mexico Gary Johnson in 2012, I believe it may be findable online too. We don’t receive pictures of federal inmates at 14 years old unless we are on texting terms with their family.2 Brett has two other younger sons I do not know the first names of admittedly but all three of his offspring were homeschooled and he plans on retiring to Argentina when all three kids are grown up with his wife Lauren (a psychology enthusiast). Brett’s interests involve growing trees and Greek mythology. He lead me to a book on psychological confidence while I was upset about his son. He can recall me asking him to get the Moderna vaccine so he wouldn’t die of Covid. He may or may not still have a Luke Wenke for Coroner 2019 yard sign3 with ‘Libertarian party’ on it since I learned in 2020 he and his fellow North Carolina Libertarian registered voters like Mark [last name] had been watching my affairs online from the comforts of the south. In 2021 though Brett can recall supporting Ron DeSantis over Donald Trump for 2024. Come Covid Omicron, I thanked him for giving me ‘[last name] Balls’ for Christmas, but during that stage of Covid people’s continued fighting negatively affected my indirect homeschool spelling lessons-over-text with him and his two younger kids, and January 2022’s inevitable reality became a factor as his attorney’s stay at home paralegal used my car.4
At Chautauqua County Jail, someone told me ‘9 times out of 10 orders of protection situations get over it and come back together but better than before’,5 and my mother’s 2017 situation with the…”
1. It doesn’t matter if someone involved in Luke Wenke’s case wants to testify against me or not. I’m not the one under legal scrutiny. It’s Luke Wenke’s criminal case, not mine.
2. I’m not sure what Luke Wenke is trying to prove by mentioning the contents of his discovery file, which the judge obviously already had access to, but in my opinion, everything he’s saying here is totally stalker-ish and creepy. He’s obsessing over people who the judge had repeatedly told him he’s not allowed to contact. People he was still sending letters to while sitting in jail for contacting.
3. During one of our final Telegram conversations just weeks before Luke Wenke’s January 2020 arrest, he told me he drove to North Carolina for the sole purpose of leaving a “Luke Wenke for Coroner” sign in his romantic obsession’s (Ryan’s) family’s yard. It was clear, based on the things Luke Wenke told me during this conversation, that the recipients were unhappy about the yard sign (which is understandable, because driving 900-plus miles to someone’s home to leave a sign in their yard is totally stalker-ish).
4. This is an example of why I agree with forensic psychologist Dr. Corey Leidenfrost’s conclusion that Luke Wenke experiences erotomanic delusions. Here, for example, he blames his lack of recent communication with Ryan’s father on Covid (Wenke blames a lot of things on Covid, to the point of using it as a total cop-out, in my humble opinion). In reality, I highly doubt Covid had anything whatsoever to do with the family’s desire to be left alone. Secondly, Wenke is referencing me with his use of the term “stay-at-home paralegal.” He seems to believe I work for his cyberstalking victim (the Minnesota attorney/Ryan’s defence attorney) as a paralegal. I’ve never worked as a paralegal or for Luke Wenke’s cyberstalking victim.
5. Once again, it seems to me like Luke Wenke is trying to low-key justify breaking an order of protection. This statement may also suggest that he thinks his issues with his stalking victims might blow over, and communications might resume. By this point in time, all of the victims Luke Wenke mentions in this letter had made it abundantly clear that they wanted to be left alone forever.

“father of one of three of her kids [name] proves that statement true 6 years later. ‘Things get darker before they get lighter’ and ‘Everything works out in the end’ I continue to hear in recent times. Due to the perfectly truthful statements made to you over this letter, I have faith that that can come out of this court hearing coming up.
I want you to know that two days ago prior to my writing this to you (Oct. 29th), I went to bed feeling extremely awful about my share of dragging this entire thing out for the two years I have let them go on.1 I could have been permanently home Sept. 2022 without one more day like this had I been on top of the Indiana case while in Allenwood. I did not have to say very dark things to Brett [last name] over text in May of this year after Buffalo Medical Transportation denied me a job for insurance reasons after I waited for their response week after week. Why did I not take them to court rather than just signing the ‘don’t talk to us’ orders? We could have solved things positively in a supervised setting. Shame on me for thinking with my emotions rather than with logic. I have even said over letter to ‘Only Lauren [last name]’ (the one I am sending out today, Oct. 31st) I wish I introduced myself face to face under polite circumstances right away Sept. 20202 rather than find time to street entertain in Las Vegas (something Brett also remembers me live texting him about). January and February 2022 right away I had come to terms with over a decade of internet drama boiling to the top with the internet activity I allowed to happen under my watch.3 March 2022, I finally come to terms with the humanity issue surrounding [Victim-1]’s side of things. I am upset that it took up until now to come to terms with personal regret over handling my entire side of the situation the way I did. I’ve even been upset over giving Katie her crockpot back by leaving it on a park bench rather than in person in 2021. If I want a more personally acceptable human environment in the world around me then obviously the ‘lead by example’ factor matters. ‘What we give we get’ is very true.
I want you to know about another situation taking place in this jail with another defendant you have I believe may be quite a sign of ‘divine timing’ and ‘syncronicity’ taking place. Someone with the last name Abughanem from Yemen and accused of trying to force his…”
1. Luke Wenke seems to take on a somewhat remorseful tone whenever he realizes he’s landed himself in a huge mess. I think this is his version of trying to do damage control. Regardless of the motive behind it, he doesn’t mean any of it because this regretful tone never lasts long (regardless of who it’s directed toward), as his future letters prove.
2. Luke Wenke’s expressions of regret for not interacting with his victims face-to-face more than he did simply proves that he has no respect for our stated wishes to be left alone. I can’t speak for other victims, but I don’t want to sit and “work things out peacefully” with Luke Wenke. I want zero contact with him. That’s it. And if he had respected this boundary, none of his victims would’ve deferred to the authorities for help. Even after that, if he had simply followed probation and the court’s orders to leave people alone, he’d have less than a year of probation left right now and he probably wouldn’t be in jail.
3. Luke Wenke didn’t “let” a “decade of internet drama” happen on his watch. He instigated and perpetuated it.

“…daughter to marry someone according to his definition of Muslim decree. My father [name] who I told you rents from your Sinatra relation was once with a woman named Ekram who also comes from Yemen. Her family also pushed my father away because he was not Muslim enough for their liking. I don’t want to hear Mr. Abughanem come up with his own ‘but the Koran says we have to marry Muslim’ excuses for whatever the Edmund FBI agent in his paperwork is saying he tried doing ‘without audio or video evidence’ in Abughanem’s words. I don’t want to hear him simultaneously complain about whatever petty turf war is taking place in Yemen either because it is no different than the accusations I read about in his paperwork. Due to all this Yemen talk I’m giving in this letter, it’s just another ‘Why is there no Sinatra Oil company in Yemen’ talking my point. My father would not want to deal with a sex offender halfway house and he seems to think Brazil is hopelessly savage, so since he always idolized his uncle my grandmother’s brother [name] a former Dresser Rand VP, I don’t see why my father the Sinatra tenant can’t use his University of Tennessee MBA productively and go right to Yemen on behalf of hypothetical multiple Sinatra interests I mentioned here on page 4.
[Business] is a [type of business] in [place] that [allegedly does nefarious thing], according to people in here. Nobody can accuse me of being useless for federal affairs simply because I have an extraordinarily frustrating personal situation with so many legal issues I am determined to fix. I am telling you useful information directly over letter, I am expressing my unfettered thoughts and emotions over this entire ordeal. There is someone in here wearing rosary beads, thereby proving your June ‘We are not Nazi America’ statement in court true. Egypt had plague after plague and fought with itself for 40 years in the Book of Ezekiel before coming back together ‘but never exalting itself again’. It’s up to me to stop my share of vitriol during these American Book of Ezekiel everyone versus everyone wars, but we are not continuing this for 40 years. Impossible for a sea to shining sea country with Ukrainian bread factories and Okinawan military bases to ‘never exalt itself again’. I am convinced we can recover and I would prefer to see that recovery start with positive dialogue with Brett and Katie right in that courtroom…”1
1. Despite knowing full well that I want zero contact with him, Luke Wenke explicitly states that he wants to engage in “positive dialogue” with me. It blows my mind that I have had to beg and plead with the authorities to understand and believe that Luke Wenke is obsessed with me and is never going to leave me alone, including long before this website existed.

“…since I already started this letter writing out the positive past they know very well is there and can’t lie about.1 I have already laid out my end of my defense for obvious reasons, I know you know how to see through things. No kidding I haven’t seen Benjamin [last name] in 3 years thanks to an extraordinary Freedom to Assemble violation taking place. Not one more day of ‘Luke Wenke is a public safety threat’ please.2 Felons can vote in NY state since 2016 and 2022 in North Carolina, all drugs decriminalized in Oregon in 2022, death sentences giving away even the most ‘heinous’ of examples right before our eyes. We are likely less than 75 years away from murder itself becoming obsolete. You know about Abraham Lincoln’s Civil War medium Nettie Colburn Maynard thanks to my summer mental health report. Sylvia Browne predicted ‘the next President is black’ when Bush was in there and the Kardashians reminded us about her 2020 Covid prediction. She predicted ‘the veil will thin by the end of the 21st century’, meaning everyone becomes Sylvia Browne, Nettie Colburn Maynard, and Michael Crick of [address] in Salamanca with his extraordinary ‘Luke Wenke and Benjamin [Ryan]’ claims since July 2020. The implications of this means you will see spirits in longtime ‘haunted houses’ demanding property rights from their county governments. Murdering someone means their spirit testifies against the defendant in court.
Mr. John L. Sinatra I have attempted to ‘sell’ you on my own faith beliefs in the most structured way possible using my own words. What I have described to you is the ultimate ‘God is watching’ belief system I could possibly provide. God is watching us tell the truth and tell lies. It is not a lie for me to say in writing that there is court documentation of all of them having my handwriting for over a year now and I have reasonable suspicion to believe that they will not admit court to working together to try and get me arrested in September claiming license plates of mine that were legally turned in last year were seen near Katie’s house in [city]. I expect them to Plead The Fifth if Marianne Mariano and this new guy Frank do their job and prepare I have given everyone weeks in advance to know about. So nobody will be pleading guilty to anything in court I guess.3”
1. I don’t think anyone is trying to deny that they were polite, courteous, amicable, etc. to Luke Wenke at a previous point in time. I’ve certainly always been open about my past friendship with Luke Wenke. So I’m not sure why he thinks anyone was trying to “lie” about something like that.
2. Per usual, he doesn’t see it as his responsibility to stop acting like a public safety threat, but as everyone else’s obligation to stop seeing him as one regardless of his behaviour.
3. As I’m sure any sane-minded reader can infer, no one is conspiring against Luke Wenke. I’ve never tried getting him arrested on my own or with anyone else, for any reason other than his actual crimes. If Luke Wenke had left me alone like I had asked, I would’ve never reported him to the cops. And of course “no one” would be “pleading guilty in court.” Why would we? It’s Luke Wenke’s criminal case, not ours.

“9 times out of 10 orders of protection situations get over it and go back to getting along’ I was told in Chautauqua County Jail by someone who knew George Borrello. God is watching everyone in that federal courtroom as God is watching me too. Marianne and Frank will get getting a letter from me too with all the preparation needed to prevent all further horrific instances from continuing. I don’t blame my father for being unable to ‘get over Ekram, seeing how her Yemen (south Saudi Arabia) family forbid him from entering this extreme version of Islam your defendant Mr. Abughanem is presenting me in here. Thankfully my stepmother [name] got her citizenship in this God-fearing nation from her native Morocco last year.
I will be thinking about Frederick Douglass back in the U.S. Marshals part of the building before court on November 7th which I assume was scheduled without giving me notice in the hopes that I would be caught off guard and not have enough time to prepare myself to speak for myself finally. [Victim-1] is far too Christian to instruct his subordinates to lie in John Sinatra’s God fearing courtroom. I look forward to true God-fearing forgiveness from both myself finally and [Victim-1]’s entourage finally after I produce a sex offender and violent offender FSA class framework for him to sophisticate and pass into law without feeling the need to give me any public credit.
Free the slaves said God after he threw plague after plague at Egypt over the matter. Free the institutionalized said God to America during it’s first last and only pandemic, as predicted by the angle who gave George Washington a vision. The Book of George in a new Bible will explain to Christians in the year 3000 why America wound up beating out the antiquated Israel/Palestine ‘gorillas throwing feces at each other’s faces’ turf war. No more murder once the veil things since the murdered will be to testify against their assailants in a ‘no statute of limitations’ 22nd century American courtroom. Thank God for the convicted 101 year old former Nazi getting sentenced to 5 years in 2022. World War Two finishes up accordingly during World War Three.
-Luke Wenke”
