I helped fight crime - Now I need help

I helped bring a fugitive from the law - Daniel Robert Janney - to justice, and now I need your help.

I have personally known Daniel Robert Janney since July 2012. I met and worked with Daniel Robert Janney in Pasadena, Maryland, on a restaurant renovation project.

Daniel Robert Janney is a convicted sex offender from Maryland with other types of prior criminal convictions. He is currently in jail in West Virginia, thanks in part to my own efforts, which is where he fled to in an attempt to evade justice in Maryland. He is wanted on felony theft charges in one county of Maryland, and sex crimes against a minor in another county of Maryland.

When I became aware of Daniel Robert Janney's failure to appear in court in Maryland on his theft charges last February, I set out to help the police apprehend him in West Virginia. I succeeded in doing this. Daniel Janney was arrested in Bluefield, West Virginia, on March 29, 2014.

Daniel Robert Janney has caused me extreme financial hardship over the relatively short time in which I have known him. I am thousands of dollars in debt now due to my efforts to help Daniel Robert Janney live his life as a productive citizen. Daniel Robert Janney has always understood that he would have to repay back to me the money that I have loaned and invested in him.

I did this all for Daniel Janney simply because I only wanted to help him get his life on the right track. For example, I was the person who helped Daniel Robert Janney remain compliant with the terms of his parole and probation, which he was still on when I first met him in July of  2012.

I was the person who helped Daniel Robert Janney to get his driver's license in Maryland reinstated, which had been suspended for many years prior to when I first met him in July of 2012. I was the person who took out a personal loan from my own bank (which I am still making monthly payments on) in order to purchase a used Ford Ranger pickup truck from a brother of Daniel Robert Janney.

I also financially assisted two other members of Daniel Robert Janney's family. (Their house burned down in February 2012.) I did likewise for his former fiancee in Elkton, Maryland, who is now longer engaged to him now. (This is actually a good thing as far as I am concerned - theirs was a toxic relationship.) Daniel Robert Janney agreed to repay all of these costs to me also.

There is even more to all this than just these examples which I have cited above.

After all of this time since I have known him, which would be approximately 22 months by now, Daniel Robert Janney has only managed to repay me a relatively small sum of money back, compared to how much I have loaned out him.

I just started a blog to chronicle all of this. You can read this blog here:

Daniel Janney Ruined My Life

I also started a Twitter account about my ordeal with Daniel Robert Janney:

It is almost a certainty now that Daniel Robert Janney will be serving yet another number of many years in prison back in Maryland sooner or later. I am the person who helped to make all of this happen. Although I have made many telephone calls about this, at this point, it does not even appear that I will be able to collect any type of a reward from the respective Crime Stoppers organizations in either Maryland or West Virginia, for my invaluable assistance to the police in apprehension of Daniel Robert Janney - a felony fugitive who crossed state lines to evade justice.

This also means that Daniel Robert Janney will not be able to go back to work in any capacity and pay me back any time soon, since he is in jail now, and he will not be eligible for bail or bonding out. Daniel Robert Janney is set to be extradited from West Virginia to Maryland sometime soon, due to the serious nature of his charges in Maryland - sex crimes against a minor.

I started this page on the gofundme.com website so that I can hopefully start to recoup my financial losses due to my attempts, albeit failed attempts, to help Daniel Robert Janney reform himself and live a productive life.
