Here is a sample of his recent writing-- an email to his mother.
Re: Please send a check for $40,000 to MIKE "God" PROCTOR at Enginuity Automotive Services, Inc. 5926 Stratler Street Murray, UT 84107 (801) 268-0125 before he gets back on Tuesday

O*M*G - and this is how my life goes all the time:
I went in to tell Mike the good news you'd be sending $40k and his daughter said he was like a little kid with the steel-knuckle gloves I sent him when he liked mine and had "just left minutes ago for his 40th wedding anniversary" in Elko. I was going to run out and tell him he was getting $1,000/year from y'all as a little wedding gift for being such a stand up guy he's been with the same woman for 40 years.
He really needs the money because he made the mistake of having a worthless son (Brad; sassed me so Mike canned him from his shop) who had a kid and doesn't want to care for it so poor Mike and his wife, at nearly Susan and Don's age, have to take in a teenager.
My mother said she can "barely stand Janet and Andy's kids for even five minutes and was so glad" I never had kids. Imagine having to raise one of mine.
Thank you again for sending Mike the money. And isn't that a funny coincidence? It's almost like GOD INTENDED IT TO HAPPEN THAT WAY.
BTW, I said yesterday that Michael Proctor is God. So you know, since he's getting the money, it literally is like God intended. DO IT!
Oh, and I didn't go out to Elko as Kristy said she would kill me if I bothered God on his 40th anniversary and when the daughter of God tells you to do something, sometimes I do it ('cause she's super cute and in a bad marriage so I have a pretty good shot if Kelli approves; God has already given his blessing by saying how much he hates his son-in-law).
HOW DO YOU LIKE ME NOW, HATERS?
There are lots of details about his arrest on the internet and they are easy to find with a search. His videos have received thousands of views, the picture of his arrest wearing a black sequined mini dress with cowl neckline and orange fun fur trim is everywhere as is his mug shot:
How did we get to this point? I thought David was irrational a couple of years ago when he refused to provide DNA for genealogical purposes. The reason given was that the government might discover that he had a rare, fatal and highly contagious disease and would therefore kill him to protect the human race. I told him that the testing people did not need his name or even initials and that the genealogical test was very limited, but it made no difference to him. Then last summer (2011) two of his beloved dogs died and he seemed to go off the deep end. My sisters and I talked and talked about the situation but always came to the conclusion that there was absolutely nothing we could do. We all felt helpless, distressed and very sad.
I am reminded of two lines of poetry (Edna St. Vincent Millay).
Having shook disaster till the fruit fell down
I feel tonight more happy and at east.
David spent his last day of freedom busily shaking disaster and the fruit did fall down. It seems very clear that his escalating craziness was designed to provoke a response. Does he feel more happy and at ease? Did he need the legal system to help him stop a descent into madness that he couldn't escape on his own/ Did he hope or expect to be killed in the process? A similar situation later in the week, also in Salt Lake City, ended with the death of a mentally disturbed man.
As I wrote today to his mother, I may be naive in hoping that the several charges filed against him will be dropped in favor or inpatient psychiatric treatment. In the meantime I think of him alone in custody-- no drugs, no computer, no dogs, no freedom. Please let it be that some wise and kind person is trying to help him through this.
David in happier times. He brought four black dogs to visit us in Maine and because he needed to sleep with all four (and his wife Kelli!) we gave him our bed.
