There’s been a lot of misinformation and wild claims floating around, particularly concerning my daughter Natascha. Some of this has been in the form of podcasts, articles, and even rumors that have no basis in fact. As a parent, it’s time I set the record straight, not only for Natascha but also for anyone who’s been following along or who might have gotten lost in these fabricated stories.

Natascha’s birthday is September 14, 1998, and as of May 21, 2017 the day we left, she was 18 years, 8 months, and 7 days old. Let me be clear: Natascha was not kidnapped. She was not sold into sex slavery, as has been alleged. This is pure speculation and completely untrue. It hurts me as a parent to hear such things, and I want to emphasize that this is a distorted version of the truth.

In fact, Natascha is doing well. She’s now married to a wonderful man—someone she’s known since middle school. They have a strong, loving relationship. On top of that, Natascha has earned two degrees and is currently working toward her third degree. She’s been incredibly focused on her education and her future, and I’m incredibly proud of all she’s achieved.

So why the confusion? I can’t say for sure whether this is a result of manipulation or just sheer ignorance on the part of those spreading these false claims. But I want to assure everyone that Natascha is safe, thriving, and has been living her life the way she chooses.

My heart felt congratulations go to the newlyweds Carl & Natascha October 31, 2024.

Thank you to those who have supported me throughout this journey and have trusted my story in my own words. If you’ve heard the rumors, I hope this update clears things up. I always believed in honesty and transparency, and that’s what I’m offering here.

More to come soon. Stay tuned for updates as we continue on this path, and thank you for your understanding.
