To
the Editor:
I admit I am not surprised
at Trent and Tracy' Chapin's
statements as of of late.
First of all Tracy
basis her story on what
Trent has told her. She has
been with Trent for a short
while. Here are some facts
to consider, I promise you I
will not just WAG my tongue.
Trent Chapin attended
Thanksgiving dinner with me
at my brothers home in
Anchorage, AK. one week
after I met him. I know
Trent from a halfway house
in Anchorage. My parents,
two brothers and their
families along with my son
attended this family dinner.
Another fact to chew on is
when I met Trent Chapin I
had just been transferred
from Fairbanks, AK. I had
not gotten a job in
Anchorage as of that time.
According to the story that
is being circulated I worked
with Ms English at City
Mortgage. When I met Trent
Chapin I did not work at
City Mortgage yet. So as
you can seen based on the
information I have just
provided, which can be
verified, Trent Chapin is
not being truthful.
My son Josh O'Brien, is the
son of Mr. O'Brien, whom I
was married to. Mr. O'Brien
is caring father, a good
father, and yes he paid his
child support as good
fathers do. Yes I was
married to a man with the
last name of Fox for a short
time, this marriage was
short lived when both
parties realized we had made
a mistake. My son was 4
years old when Imet and
married Mr. Fox.
I am not the only woman in
Trent's life he has
threatened to kill if I did
not keep my mouth shut.
Trent threatened his mother
in 1990 after he forced her
into bankruptcy, causing her
to loose everything she
had. Becky told Trent and
his then wife Kelly Hegg
that she would sue them for
what she had lost because of
them, Trent threatened
her stating that he would
kill her if she came after
them.
I
am no longer intimidated by
Trent Chapin, I now see him
for what he truly is. I
hope and pray him and his
wife Tracy live happily ever
after.

To the
Editor:
Please print this letter,
perhaps it will shed some
light for Traci Chapin and
her confusion regarding the
man she is married to (Mr.
Chapin's 6th or 7th wife, we
have lost count).
Helgoe met
Chapin in Anchorage,
Alaska. Chapin was being
housed at a halfway house in
Anchorage, a place where
people who are being
released from prison can
have the opportunity to work
their way back into society
if they follow the rules and
prove to be worthy of that
privilege. Chapin was
employed with Cal
Worthington Ford there in
Anchorage as a car
salesman. Chapin talked
about Helgoe a lot, and
never called her by any
other name than Kelli.
Chapin,
quite the ladies man with
his blue eyes and snake like
charm, swept Helgoe off her
feet asking her to marry
him, showering her with
gifts and an engagement ring
hehad made specially for
her, or so she thought!
Friends and family could
see he was no good, but
Helgoe couldn't see him for
what he really was.
Chapin
swore his faithfulness to
Helgoe. The very next day
Chapin was sent back to
prison.
There he
would sit for another year.
It turns out Chapin had
already swore faithfulness
to another woman who had
been caught by his
charm. This lady had
visited him in prison
before he was released to
the halfway house and
continued to make plans for
their future together once
he was out on parole. This
lady's name is Renae. Renae,
being angered and outraged
by Chapin and his
unfaithfulness to her,
contacted the appropriate
authorities and turned
Chapin in for falsifying
earnings statement reports
he had submitted to the
halfway house. This
information can be verified
through the State of Alaska
Department of Corrections.
I saw
the letters that Trent
Chapin sent addressed to
Kelli Helgoe at her home in
Anchorage, Alaska, every day
for a year after he went
back to prison. If Chapin
can not tell the truth about
what happened almost 18
years ago, what makes you
think he is telling you the
truth today.
Do some
research. I know Chapin
from the half way house in
Anchorage. The funny thing
is I saw all the love
letters he had written to "Renae"
while he was in prison, she
brought them back to him the
day she turned him in for
falsifying his earnings
statements. They were full
of how much he loved her and
how she was the only one for
him, how he was going to
make her his wife....there
would never be another, he
would love her forever.....
