Bodycam: Psychopath Susan Manning Attempts to Kidnap our Daughter | Ephraim, UT Police Sgt. Steve Cragun

FACTS:
1. Alleged Psychopath, Susan Manning was told by law enforcement that she did NOT have authority to have Tim and Cheri McGaffin's daughter.
2. Susan fled with our daughter once she knew Cheri was on her way to pick up her daughter.
3. When called on the phone by Ephraim, UT Police Sgt. Steve Cragun, Susan resisted bringing our daughter back and had to be threatened with kidnapping charges 3 times.

Susan Manning has a history of grooming, abusing, kidnapping, making false allegations and exploiting family in an attempt to gain power and control.

Susan Manning and her 6th husband, Michael Brook both now have a permanent Stalking Injunction against them which prevents them from contacting us and our family or gathering any information about us directly or indirectly through any 3rd party.

In addition to the stalking injunction there is also a NO CONTACT ORDER against both Susan Manning and Michael Brook as they were also each criminally charged for "electronic communication harassment".

Susan Manning attempted to kidnap our daughter on April 28, 2022.

As Cheri was growing up, Susan groomed and brainwashed Cheri by constantly lying to Cheri about her father, coaching Cheri what to say on the phone to her father, then recording the phone calls between Cheri and her father. Susan also took Cheri to satanic rituals and kidnapped Cheri 3 times, among other psychopathic behavior.

In 2022 we recognized Susan repeating her same patterns of grooming and brainwashing with our own daughters (Susan's granddaughters).

We (Tim and Cheri McGaffin) then confronted Susan and established healthy boundaries to protect our daughters, our children, our family from Susan's machinations and manipulations.

On April 26, 2022, Susan called and lied to CPS caseworker Annette Monson.

Later, DCFS supervisor Dave Stevens called Tim McGaffin on the phone and told Tim that Susan "lied about everything". Dave said "it wasn't just half-truths mixed with lies, it was all lies." And that "there wasn't even a sliver of truth."

Dave Stevens also told Tim that CPS “definitely made mistakes” and that "changes need to be made" such as:

1. No more trespassing. (Annette Monson trespassed in our home)
2. Review actual evidence, do not make assumptions.
3. Need to verify all information.

Cheri McGaffin speaking:
On Thursday morning April 28, 2022 my 5-year-old son came running to me and saying that he saw my 16-year-old running out of the house, across the front yard and down the road. I immediately ran outside and saw our 16-year-old getting into a white van at the end of the road. I immediately called 911.

I did not hear back from the police or anybody for about 4 or 5 nerve-wracking hours, but I almost immediately suspected the involvement of my mother Susan as she had done something very similar when I was a teenager and my parents were involved in a bitter divorce.

On my 16th Birthday I had wanted to go out to dinner with my mom Susan and her current husband at the time. My dad was the custodial parent and he said, “No”, I could not go to dinner with Susan since he wanted to spend time with me on my birthday and my mom could see me another day. I was pretty mad about that and called my mom crying saying that dad was abusive. My mom told me and my sister to run out of the house at a certain time and she would drive by and pick us up. Later that day when our dad was upstairs, my sister and I ran outside and down the road. When he noticed we were gone my dad got in his car, but my sister and I jumped over a snowbank on the side of the road so he couldn’t see us. When my mom came driving down the road, my sister and I jumped over the snowbank and got into my mom's van. We did not see our dad for a year after that.

Susan would have me try to record phone calls with my dad when I was younger. She would have myself and my sister either together or separately call my dad on the phone and she would press record on a phone-recording system she had setup and connected to the phone. Susan would coach me on what to say to try and get my dad to say something she could use against him so she would get custody. She didn't have custody of me or my 2 siblings. At the time I was not able to fully recognize how inappropriate and damaging what my mother was doing, but I ultimately was able to understand how wrong it is.
