Daniel James Witmer was reportedly a convicted felon, and charges alleged to have been brought against him over the years include DUI; public intoxication; assault and battery, including on a police officer; possession of a controlled drug; impersonating a cop; faking a fatality wreck; and domestic abuse. No fewer than six mug shots of his were pulled up by a simple Internet search performed by the writer in 2020. Witmer reportedly died on Feb. 6, a month after the comment quoted below was submitted.
A commenter intrepidly shared this year that the cousin of a woman who persecuted me through the court for over a decade had held an electric hair dryer against her arm until it branded her.
It may not be a coincidence that Daniel Witmer and his cousin Tiffany Bredfeldt, my false accuser, were born into a family with a multigenerational cattle ranch in Arkansas.
Bredfeldt’s father, Tim Hargis, and Witmer’s mom, Jamie Hargis Witmer, are brother and sister. Tim Hargis, a retired bank VP, keeps the family business running today.
Here is the commenter’s account (edited for clarity):
I had a…horrible experience with Daniel [that convinced me] he is a true monster, and if I were to see him randomly now after 15 years [I might] have a breakdown. I knew he’d hurt me if I didn’t do something drastic, like move to another state on the fly…to hide from him (after knowing him about 2 weeks max). I knew he’d hurt me, [because] he already had. [He] burned me with a hair dryer and left grill marks on my arm for months, for one instance. If he’s free, I know in my heart he will kill someone or already has—zero doubt. [I’m] so glad I ran and didn’t fight. I’m so sorry and hope you know that any efforts to tame these monsters have not been in vain. Your plight and your fight [may have been] why I was able to escape from [Daniel Witmer] at age 18. I saw this after Googling his name while telling my husband about my brief but scary and regrettable encounter with a Witmer about 15 years or so ago for the first time. I’d tried to block it all out.
Daniel Witmer reportedly died this year of unspecified causes. As of this writing, no condolence messages have been left on his obituary page.
COMMENTARY:
- It’s worthy of note that the victim who was brave enough to share her trauma didn’t obtain a restraining order against her assailant but instead did what security specialist Gavin de Becker recommends: She got out of Dodge.
- Conventional “progressive” dogma promotes the idea that violence is bad and lying is tolerable. Lying, however, is not less characteristic of sociopathy than violence; it’s the opposite.
- Exploitation of government for evil ends is just a savvier, passive-aggressive version of violence, one that may be far more enduring. Would I tolerate being seared with a cattle brand in place of losing a dozen years of security, health, and peace of mind? Sure I would, as I’m certain many victims of false accusation would. Moreover the exterior wound would probably evoke sympathy.
- Tiffany Bredfeldt is a former senior government official and Ph.D. Her cousin Daniel was a train wreck. Their origins were similar, as were their ethics. This is what pat narratives obscure.
