I hope that isnt the Tracey i know.
ReplyDeleteherion ruins families.
ReplyDeleteThe Tracy Koester I know has been into hard drugs since he was 16 both as supplier and consumer...ABOUT TIME SOMEONE noticed.
ReplyDeleteTracey Koester was arrested a year ago for similar offenses. See courts.state.md.us.com. The informed District Court judge with the assistance of his public defender put him back on the street. Maybe this time judicial enlightenment will prevail and they'll do the right thing. "Poor" Tracy, my a--!
ReplyDeleteKoester's the son-in law of local defense attorney, Lee Clarke. No surprise Tracy's walked away from his past behavior. Tracey's arrest last year came about when Clarke's daughter, Nicole, was arrested for armed robbery of Cooper Insurance Agency in Fruitland, after a prior string of felony CDS & theft crimes.
ReplyDeleteToo bad Koester's van was so polluted with CDS and used needles especially for the daughter Nicole. She's in the drug court program but I guess she too is blind to the presence of the substance and paraphenalia around her.
CLARKE'S CHICKENS HAVE FINALLY COME HOME TO ROOST, so said Jeremiah.
I live in Foxchase where Lee Clarke has his office in his home. Many neighbors object to the type of criminals he brings to our kid-friendly neighborhood; murderers, rapists, and others of like ilk. In any event, maybe the homeowner's association will finally take action to limit his use of his home as his criminal practice law office. Now it's in his own backyard.
ReplyDeleteIt all started with those damn OXY COTTONS.
ReplyDelete"I live in Foxchase where Lee Clarke has his office in his home."
ReplyDeleteNo, you live on Kay Avenue and your alleged husband lives on Woodland Road.
Be careful. Those who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.
If this is true why was this man not arrested for the drug crime???? He was obviously guilty of posession of drugs why is he not in jail??? Im very upset that our judicial is now the good ole boy system!!!!
ReplyDeleteHey Sonny we know its you since your sister has called you out!!!!! HA HA HA HA HA HA
ReplyDeleteNow I understand this thread!
ReplyDeleteLee Clarke's wife has a loony sister, Sonny Houilihan, who lives on Kay Avenue.
Sonny, and her pseudo husband John, who lives on Woodland Road, were front page news, a few years ago, for assaulting a police officer.
Court records show that the robbery charges, against Nicole Koester, were dismissed after a jury didn't convict her.
Given her own drug problems, one would think that Sonny Houilihan would have empathy for her niece Nicole.
BTW, I've known Lee Clarke for years. His wife's youngest daughter, Carla Nicole Koester, was an adult before Lee even met her mother.
Sounds like Nicole's evil Aunt Sonny just wants to stir up lies against her own family. She must be off her meds or self-prescribing, again.
Sonny never does anything without an ulterior motive. I'll do some digging and keep all my fellow readers posted.
Sonny, you been outed.
ReplyDeleteHAHAHAHAHAHA
It is really so sad that no one seems to realize that this is a family. They are going through a terrible time and while even I might say I would have done things differently if it were me , I don't really know that do I? I have known Nicole for so many years.What every one fails to remember is that before this time in her life she was an excellent, loving, caring and nurturing mother. Family meant everything to her and friends were treated as family too. There was always room for 1 or 10 more at the dinner table and she was always there for her friends. Her house was always full and everyone always felt welcoome. I am saddened every time I hear that there has been more trouble for her and her family , I would like to wish them the best and I hope Nicole can heal herself and move on from this someday.
ReplyDeleteI'm not surprised to see Sonnie Houlihan outed.
ReplyDeleteShe has always been sneaky.
carla nicole rantz, (and yes i say rantz, not koester) is the single most humle, loving, caring, compassionate human being that i have ever had the pleasure of knowing, and i mean that with all of my heart and soul. her drug use/abuse can be traced back to a single careless doctor who prescribed nothing but addiction, and along with her over bearing drug-addicted, alcoholic and abusive husband she never really had a chance at sobriety.this isn't opinion or slander, anyone who has ever spent time with her family knows this as truth. i know, as i have witnessed first-hand her hopelessness, her grief, pain and her tearful frustration at her own condition and what it has done to her family, the children that she so loves most of all. her remorse at her mistakes runs deeper than most will ever know, but her pain and regret seem to be overshadowed by the politics of her own family's never ending soap opera.nicole supported her friends and family no matter what the crime, no matter what the situation, and in this respect, she is truly the most forgiving and honestly unconditional person i have ever met, yet i see some of those same people, no matter how well hidden behind "anonymous" text, pasing judgement on her. nicole is a victim, a victim not only of drugs and addiction, but a victim of her own husband's reckless apathy and her family's petty squabbles. shame on anyone who would pass judgement on such a tortured young soul who only strives for the same compassion that she always gave without a thought.
ReplyDeletealso regretful,
ReplyDeleteVery well put!
Nicole Rantz Koester is a fine young woman, who got hooked on drugs.
She is getting treatment and doing everything she can to make amends.
In the meantime, two people are doing everything they can to hurt her and make her fail; namely, her Aunt Sonnie Lee Ford DeVault Houlihan and her husband (?) John Houlihan.
Their motive is to steal Nicole's youngest son.
The Houlihans agreed to temporarily care for the child, when Nicole's addiction was at its worst, while she sought help.
Over a year later, the Houlihans won't allow Nicole any communication with her son and they defy Court ordered visitation.
Meanwhile, Nicole does her best, one day at a time.
God willing, she will recover, despite everthing the Houlihans do to hurt her and her son.
i wonder where her 2 kids are ?? does her mother have them now ? anyone know ??
ReplyDeleteI am a family member by blood of Nicole's. I know this article is almost two years old, but google her name and you will find out about her most recent arrest. That's how I happened to find this article.
ReplyDeleteI don't care what any of you who have any sympathy for her have to say. She is an addict, yes, and she used to be one of the sweetest people I knew and a favorite cousin. But she does not deserve praise or tears for her condition. In the beginning, we were all there to help her, before she committed several acts against us. She has stolen money and personal objects, switched out her own grandmother's pills (which could have killed her), and completely forsaken both her children. Nicole cares about one person, and that's Nicole. Now that she is in jail again, she will hopefully be there for a long time and get off the drugs (and away from Tracey, who does not help matters). I miss my cousin, but the person she has become is NOT her.
By the way, her two children are being cared for by much better people than her in her current state, trust me.
I do not know Sonny that well but I do know she gave a sweet little boy a safe, loving, caring home. While the boy's grandparents(rantz) left him in a home fulled with drugs and addicts. Instead of exposeing them they cleaned the drugs out,cleaned the house, fill it with food, as there was none just so to keep the social services from taking the 3 children out of there that night. The children's safty was never put first. Those children were forced to lived in hell for so many months, years. The ones who known did nothing to help them. They (rantzs) were more concerned about coving up for nicole, feeling sorry for her only. the rantz had been doing this from the very being of her drug addiction. mr rantz is a recoving alcoholic and not once did he follow the steps to recovery for nicole. He was more worried about himself and what people would think, did not want to be the bad guy. He knew where she was heading and did nothing about it. Well see what all the father love did, sent her all the way to jail for a long time.
ReplyDeletelets just say I am very acquainted with all this bull s***. If Nicole's youngest son ever wanted help, he would find ways of retrieving it instead of sitting around like a f***er. He is almost 15 now, is he not? He can make his own decisions on whether or not he wants to stay or leave. This is not Sonnie or John. Whatever prior issues they may have had are over now. I hope all those who found a reason in any of this needless s*** read this now and realize how ridiculously irrational they are. I have spoken to him before and he knows what to believe. Whether or not he was kidnapped doesn't matter. He is happy and in a home where he can live as a normal child. He believes that the only way to forgive is through time. Sometimes time lasts longer than a lifetime. If that's the way he wants it, so be it. Do him a favor and leave him alone for a lifetime if that's what he wants. If you play with fire, you will get burned. FTW That child is very intelligent. He has his ways of finding anything out. I would know. See you all around.
ReplyDeleteP.S. He believes both Nicole and Tracy should be in prison for a very longtime. I hope you see the light soon.
Bless Sonnie Houlihan for helping nicole's youngest son. I know him very well and love him with all my heart. He is the most intelligent child I have ever met and he deserves the best that anyone can give him. He knowes exactly what is going on with his family and all he wants is to live in peace. Sonnie, if you ever read this, I thank you for your love and support towards the boy. Keep him safe.
ReplyDeletewell it seems sonnie houlihan's new middle name is "anonymous" judging from the last few posts praising herself.well written sonnie...dont pull a muscle patting yourself on the back or u may need me to sell you some oxycontin like i used to. or did you forget you also used to buy them from nicole...? hypocrite even after all these years.
ReplyDeleteThe comment before you "disgusted" was not from sonnie. Sonnie actually has never liked me and I only put up with her because I knew she loves the boy. I don't know Nicole, but I do know her youngest son well. I love him. I love him.
