UPDATE FROM AUTUMN AS FOLLOWS:

Autumn Lee

In the recent weeks I've had multiple exemployees from Menards come forward with claims of verbal abuse and fear of termination for speaking up from Lee Dardis.

Today, a previous employee called me with information that she overheard Lee confiding in another manager that he was planning to purchase traps at Menards to begin removing neighborhood cats from the middle of South Dr months ago.

We had previously stopped reaching out to lawyers and Menards, but as witnesses come forward I will be resuming the effort to at least encourage an investigation from the store and hopefully press charges. Since September, I have been keeping a log of all of the harassment/stalking coming from the Dardis' and Menards employees. Including stalking my socials, sending pictures taken from outside my bedroom window, and attempting to have me fired for discussing the situation online.

Last week, the Bartholomew County Commissioners were quoted calling a citizen "crazy" for asking for stricter punishments for animal abusers. They claimed she had no plan. What they didn't know, was that I have spoken with a lawyer who is willing to help draft a new law, but we can't get it onto the ballot without their support. I called the office on 12/19 to let them know we had the manpower and would be willing to put in the work, my call has still not been returned.

Additionally, I have been in the room when a member of the Columbus Animal Commission has called this same group "crazy" for trying to help protect animals.

This same member spent an hour trying to urge me to stop using Lee & Breanna Dardis' names because she didn't want to upset any animal rights' groups. This member is up for reappointment 12/31/23 and is going to have her term renewed.

Lee & Breanna are sleeping comfortable in their beds while Aspen is still missing. These monsters have been continuously protected by Columbus & Bartholomew County officials as well as Menards corporate even after providing a written confession. Although we'll likely never complete our ultimate mission of returning my baby home, we don't plan to stop fighting to protect other animals anytime soon.   END OF AUTUMN’S UPDATE!!

First of all Regrettably, Aspen has NOT been found yet !! 

Everyone, I apologize for leaving Such a gap I was wanting to continue on in the “Hall of  Shame “ I have been waiting on the account and perspective from an eyewitness in the next case, but I have not gotten that yet. I will proceed on with that in some aspect In the future.
As you can see from Autumn‘s post, even though we somewhat stepped back for a short time the Dardis’ supporters and Menard’s  employees who are Dardis’ supporters have continued to  Attack and harass Autumn. 
There was a Menards employee who posted anonymously on “Columbus Man” - a local Facebook page -accusing The Columbus Menards manager of sexual harassment. 
No one connected with Autumn had ANYTHING To do with this post or anything about it YET AUTUMN AND HER SUPPORTERS WERE ACCUSED OF BEING BEHIND THIS ANONYMOUS POST. The Dardis’ supporter’s are reaching a level of crazed and asinine !!  

Many of you from the beginning and all along have called for Justice to be served against Lee Dardis and condemned Menards. 
Many of us, including Some of you have contacted Menards without any results! 
It is time for us to regroup  and ramp this up and contact Menards again!! We can’t let this go!!! Please help us!! Let Menards know we are not letting this go!!
