Shameful and unforgiveable. A state cage should be this crooks home until this felon is frail, old and feeble.
ReplyDeleteIn a state cage until this vulture is decalared a ward of the state with a young, nasty, cruel guardian making all life and death decisions for this miserable criminal til her last hour of life.
The best form of justice is when the bad person is forced to suffer alot in the end the same way that their victims suffered. I think that is called Karma. What a sad sorrowful story I hope people learn God is watching and to be good and honest.
ReplyDeleteI knew this women. Unfortunately, this didn't surprise me. We wondered how she came in to the money being that she rarely ever had training clients.
ReplyDeleteHow she ever fooled the American Outdoorsman people, we'll never know. Her life is one big lie. !
What She did is unforgivable and sickening.
All I can say is Karma!

ReplyDeleteIs Kathy Simane using the name Kathy Larson to train gun dogs in Minnesota?
How can a convicted felon be legally using guns to train dogs just because she uses a different name?
This doesn't seem right or legal to me.
Kathleen Simane aka Kathy Simane aka Kathy Larson should be thrown back in Wisconsin prison for this.
From: Concerned Citizen
Yes it is her, and she's stupid enough to have a picture of her posing with the dog, dead birds, and HOLDING a shotgun. Yes, she is not allowed to handle, possess, or use a weapon of any kind. That is a violation of her Probation. Felony probation, means jail time.
ReplyDeleteShe's a goof'
Hey Anonymous,
ReplyDeleteI know Kathy too(17 years).. Sure it was wrong what she did, but she has gone through ALOT in her life when she was younger.. just remember
CHERISH THE CHILDREN...
was this woman related to her mother or FATHER!
Ha Ha !
ReplyDeleteShe told you that story too!
She has a dozen stories as to who and what she is.
If you believe that, you are easily fooled.
She has ruined many lives, even before committing this FELONY ACT.
No excuses.
I only hope Kola and Ashton were taken care of.
Kola was already getting on in age, but Ashton was young. She even stoled someone's idea for a crate pad!
Pathetic!
Anon as I understand it, you asked: was this woman related to her mother or FATHER!
ReplyDeleteThis woman, Helen Fabis, who was victimized by Kathleen Simane was related to her mother.
To those of you that say you knew her for 17 yrs, you have to be as stupid as she is to believe her lies of her "troubles"! I am her cousin and I have seen her in action at the young age 0f 6!! The things she did to out great Aunt are inexcusable! Do NOT fall for her sympathy stories and lies.....I know better! She deserves to spend her life in prison, not enjoying her dogs etc! Our Aunt was stripped of her golden years by this evil, manipulative person and she does not deserve freedom! Kharma will come back to haunt her!
ReplyDeleteWell put Tamme. Born with a criminal mind? I believe so. Simane made a lot of mistakes and the big one that finally got her in prison was her biggest mistake of all targeting the person she took advantage of Helen Fabis. I agree Simane should have received more prison time to keep society safer. KARMA yes!
ReplyDeleteTamme you confirmed what I believe that sociopaths come into this world lacking characteristics that allow for a conscience they come into this world in costume but in reality they are predators - it scares me to think of her birth parents with abnormal DNA who created this monster in the form of a human being. Thank you for sharing your first person observations and recollections. Let's hope and pray KARMA has been and is taking place every minute of every day for the rest of her miserable life.
ReplyDeleteHas Kathleen A Simane taken advantage of the court system? Looks like her debt to society isn't being satisfied the question is will anyone in authority hold Simane accountable? Beware and be aware Simane and others with criminal minds looking for personal gain are watching YOU!
