A.K.A. MERGEL,PAUL ROBERT SRA.K.A. MERGEL,PHANTOM MAN

Paul Mergel killed his mother. Her name was Mary Ann and she was my father's sister. He seems to be getting away with murder because my aunt's body has never been found. I've been mentioning this situation every so often. I was hoping that some things my cousins and I were doing would turn something up, if not the murderer himself. He's now skipped town and no one knows where he is. He's wanted in the state of Georgia so this should be the one place that he isn't. That means that he's probably closer to you than he is to me. For my aunt, for my father and his brothers and sisters, and for the family of the woman who died in the trailer fire (another murder he seems to have gotten away with) I've posted all the information that I could get my hands on.

To protect myself from a potential lawsuit, I have to tell you that this is all my own opinion. But you will read nothing but verifiable facts on this blog. Those facts may convince some idiot that my cousin is innocent, but most thinking people would read the facts and conclude that Paul Mergel is a murderer.

After the way you all responded to the search for Rosie, it occurred to me that you guys might also help locate a killer by posting a link to this post. If he hasn't done so already, he will most certainly kill again. He is absolutely armed and dangerous and living next door to someone out there. He has to have been seen somewhere. Email this to everyone you know, it doesn't promise to grant you a wish and you won't have bad luck if you don't, but you might just be responsible for putting a murderer behind bars. If we circulate this post around enough, the man can't possibly hide out for much longer.

Wouldn't it be cool if we could catch a murderer and put him behind bars? I would LOVE it! We can do it with a few strokes of our little keyboards. Just remember, this guy is dangerous and has nothing to lose by killing anyone who might turn him in so if you DO see him, don't confront his fat ass, just call your local police and let them handle it.

Here is a letter from my father that pretty much explains a few of the reasons that we suspect Paul of killing his own mother:

YOU CLAIM THAT THE POLICE SEARCHED YOUR HOUSE AND YARD AND FOUND NOTHING. I SPOKE TO THE POLICE AND THEY SHOWED ME THE NUMEROUS WEAPONS THAT THEY FOUND AND ADDITIONAL WEAPONS THAT PAUL PAWNED IN THE NEXT COUNTY. (BY WEAPONS, I MEAN ILLEGAL RIFLES) I ALSO SAW YOUR YARD AND SAW LITERALLY HUNDREDS OF SHELLS FROM A VARIETY OF GUNS. BUT THEN, MAYBE I SHOULD BELIEVE YOU AND NOT MY LYING EYES. I SPOKE TO THE POLICE IN NEW JERSEY WHO ARE INVESTIGATING A PREVIOUS MYSTERIOUS DEATH THAT INVOLVED DEAR OLD DAD.
IT SEEMS THAT HIS GIRLFRIEND WAS GETTING TO BE A BOTHER TO HIM AND SHE FOUND HERSELF DEAD IN DAD'S TRAILER. IT IS SURPRISING TO HEAR YOU DEFEND YOUR DAD. YOUR GRANDMOTHER WAS THE ONLY PERSON WHO EVER PROVIDED A HOME FOR YOU. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT YOUR MOTHER WAS CONVICTED OF SOME DRUG OFFENSE OR ANOTHER AND THE STATE CHOSE TO PUT YOU IN A FOSTER HOME RATHER THAN LET HER HAVE CUSTODY.
BUT, BACK TO DEAR OLD DAD. IF THE POLICE FOUND NOTHING, WHY WAS YOUR DAD ARRESTED, TRIED AND CONVICTED OF OFFENSES THAT LEFT HIM IN PRISON FOR SEVERAL YEARS?
IF HE WAS NOT INVOLVED IN GRANDMOTHER'S DISAPPEARANCE, WHY DID HE TELL HER RELATIVES AND FRIENDS THAT SHE GAVE HIM HER HOUSE, HER CAR AND HER CHARGE CARDS AND WENT TO CALIFORNIA?HOW DID YOU WIND UP WITH GRANDMAS CELL PHONE? HOW COME THERE WERE $10,000 IN STRANGE CHARGES ON HER CREDIT CARDS SHORTLY AFTER SHE "LEFT"?
HOW COME A MAN, LATER IDENTIFIED AS YOUR DAD, WAS SEEN CASHING ALLEGEDLY FORGED CHECKS ON GRANDMAS ACCOUNT?IF DADDY REALLY WANTS TO CLAIM INNOCENCE, I AM SURE THAT HE WILL BE WILLING TO COOPERATE WITH THE PERSON APPOINTED BY THE COURT TO HANDLE YOUR GRANDMOTHER'S AFFAIRS.
HOW COME IT HAS BEEN ALLEGED THAT FRIENDS OF YOUR FATHER WERE ALLOWED TO GO INTO THE HOUSE AND REMOVE ALL OF THE VALUABLE ITEMS THAT YOUR GRANDMOTHER OWNED? THEY EVEN DISCONNECTED AND STOLE THE WASHER AND DRYER! YOU SAY THAT YOUR FATHER "RAISED YOU BETTER". YOUR FATHER DID NOT RAISE YOU. YOUR GRANDMOTHER RAISED YOU. SHE WAS THE ONLY PERSON WHO EVER PROVIDED YOU WITH A HOME AND CLOTHES AND 3 MEALS A DAY. FATHER WAS TOO BUSY COLLECTING GUNS AND A CRIMINAL RECORD. NOW, YOUR GRANDMOTHER IS DEAD AND YOU DON'T SEEM TO CARE. DON'T HOLD YOUR BREATH WAITING FOR AN INVITATION TO THE NEXT FAMILY REUNION!

My father deserves to have his questions answered as do all of his other siblings. I have 2 other aunts, 2 uncles and a slew of in-laws, cousins and friends who all knew Mary Ann. Here are a couple of comments by 2 of them:

I've known Maryann Mergel for 20some odd years! She was one of my mothers best friends....Maryann would NEVER just go on some trip, or move away from her grandchildren!! They were her life, thats the only reason she moved to Georgia in the first place! She was murdered! Wake up and open your eyes people....there is a serious pattern here and the police need to dig deeper, it's not just about forgery or guns!! She was murdered and her grandchildren need to know who cared for them through thick and thin cause it certainly wasn't their mom or dad!!!!!

And:

There is little doubt that Paul Mergel was, in some way, involved in his mother's disappearance. Whether it was in a fit of rage or drug addled pandering, he knows what happened to his mother.Regarding the NJ incident...Funny how he just happened to sleep at his mothers the night the trailer that his mother paid for him to live in, caught fire which burned his girlfriend to bits inside.Although the evidence may be circumstantial, the truth is quite clear. Paul Mergel is responsible for the death of his own mother and has a deadly way of ending relationships...beware all who know this cold blooded killer. (Including his children.)

Here are some links to other posts that I've written regarding the cold blooded killer, if you are curious about this murderer amongst us:

I could go on and on but I think that's enough. If you'd like to read the rest you can go to the upper left hand corner and do a search on this blog for Paul Mergel. They all come up when you do that.

Thanks for caring.
