After my initial post on John Kufner, I was contacted by someone who knows John Kufner well and knows his ex-wives. He has two ex-wives. After the claims made by Kufner’s attorney, Mr. Russo, in opening statements, I think it is important that some of this information come to light.
Kufner’s impact has been from coast to coast. Based on what has been shared with me, I believe this has gone on for at least 40 years.
I am keeping some of the details vague, because there is fear and concern on the part of my source (s) and for the confidentiality of other alleged victims and their locations I will not say who my source is. Those who knew him do not wish to be contacted by Kufner or have their families traumatized any further.
According to this source, Kufner married one ex-wife, a 16 year old girl when he was 22 and another 15-17 year old when he was closer to 40. These facts, according to my source are documented in the courts-one in Illinois and the other girl possibly, Oregon. That's where Kufner lived before moving to CA.
Kufner has been called Ed by family and friends, others call him John. He has a granddaughter who was 6 when she last saw him, she is over 18 now.
“My thoughts and prayers are for the girls who have been affected negatively by him. I'm afraid there may be more than I even know of. I am many many years away from him emotionally, but with his arrest & trial I find my thoughts taking me back to some very dark times in my life with him. The effects of that relationship are much further reaching than I ever imagined. I thought all that stuff was buried but the memories are resurfacing every day now and I look forward to putting them back to rest."
"Counseling wasn't too popular years ago, I hope the girl(s) in this case will have full access to counseling and that it will help pull them through this and that they will be able to move forward in life and leave this behind them. It will be a long road for them. I won't forget them ever, even though I don't know them. My heart aches for them.”
