I have included every link that led to me this discovery for the reader to follow as well.
The person in the mugshot above is IlWAR_VALORlI.

The tale begins with a simple cell phone number. A simple screenshot sent anonymously. A link to the outside world of someone I loathe.The prankster in me thought, "I could use this number to find her name and address. Possibly even an email address."
My motives were harmless, but devious, I will admit.
- Sign her up for every website newsletter I could
- Add her to the mailing list of every single catalogue company I could find
I never dreamed or imagined
it would lead me where it did.

$1.95 and I have a name!

Phone Number Lookup
Sadly, the email or mailing address weren't included. Disappointment sets in.
My evil plan to flood her inbox with spam and her mailbox with junk was foiled by Spokeo.
Plan B begins to brew.
So, I couldn't find an email or mailing address. Luckily for me, social networking sites have made finding people very easy (including people you despise). I had her name, perhaps she had a LinkedIn or Facebook profile. I knew what she looked like already from her Palringo photo. (see below)

All was not lost, I had a name! I could do some "googling".
If nothing else, I could snoop around and see what I could learn about her.
I had her name. I knew what she looks like. I had her cell phone number.
I knew she was from COLORADO.
And it's off to Google I go!
Needless to say, I am shocked
at what my search results displayed.
Court cases, convictions, and mugshots weren't
what I was expecting to see on the first page.
Did I have the wrong name? Was it all for naught?

But wait, there's hope! I see a photo I recognize! YES!!

Her mother's name will become very important
FB gives me the name of the person she's in a relationship with - Val Medina.
Not significant overall to this tale, but a rather interesting twist and side story.
If you're bored, Google Valerie Medina. I guess you can find love in prison.
But, I digress.
The wheels are turning....... WAIT!
Isn't her degree in Equine Science and animal behavior?
Didn't I see something about a horse thief in those search results??
You just can't make this stuff up.

A horse thief used to be hanged in the Wild West, but luckily for two
Colorado women, things have changed.
Donja Vaughn and her mother, Sharon Vaughn, are getting locked up instead.
On Thursday, Donja Vaughn was sentenced to 12 years in prison and her mother to three.
The pair stole seven horses in 2000 and 2002 from Kansas and Utah, according to the state attorney general’s office.
Donja Vaughn was convicted of animal theft, forgery, tampering with physical evidence, perjury, attempting to influence a public official, conspiracy and other charges. Her mother pleaded guilty to perjury.

| Remember her FaceBook Page? Mother is listed as Sharon |
Let's just quickly recap the search for information
- Cell phone number leads to a name
- Google Search of the name leads to a MESS of news articles about a felon with the same name AND in the same location.
- Palringo, LinkedIn and Facebook profiles confirm I have found the right person
- Photo is the same on Palringo and LinkedIn
- Cell phone area code matches location in all profiles
- Same university listed in both profiles
- Clear interest in horses/animals
- MOTHER is Sharon Vaughn (Facebook profile)
- Kingdoms at War on FB profile as well
- THE MUG SHOT PHOTO AND THE PALRINGO PHOTO ARE OF THE SAME PERSON
Now, let's quickly recap the charges/convictions:
- theft
- theft of animals
- forgery
- attempt to influence a public servant and conspiracy
- perjury
- forgery
- tampering with physical evidence
- defrauding a secured creditor
- LAST, BUT not LEAST Attempted Robbery of a Credit Union
Like I said, You just can't make this stuff up.
My search continues. Yes, I am that nosy. And this shit is just too good to be true.
Here are some choice tidbits from Case 1:04-cv-01002-MSK-CBS
War Valor, I mean Donja attempts to sue the very people she has stolen from. REALLY?

She's the plaintiff :
Plaintiff does not dispute that Donja Vaughn sold Keri to Zabla International, Inc. in violation of the breeding contract. Plaintiff does not dispute that based upon the fraudulent transfer from Donja Vaughn to Zabla International, Inc., Zabla International, Inc. obtained a hard card and horse transportation permit for Keri.
While Plaintiff admits that she was incarcerated for the time periods established by Ms. Rhea, she responds without explanation that these incarcerations "may or may not have rendered her financially and otherwise unable to care for [Keri and Toby]." I've seen this before.... no explanations, just accusations.
I wonder if she learned these animal care skills in college :
Plaintiff does not dispute the material fact that Keri and Toby were found to be in an undesirable environment and in unhealthy conditions by Dr. Matthew Crane, a veterinarian with the Montezuma Vet Clinic in Cortez, Colorado, when he examined the Vaughn horses at the Akin property, before the Vaughns were evicted. Plaintiff does not dispute the material fact that Keri and Toby were found to be in an undesirable environment and in unhealthy conditions by local veterinarian, Dr. Jen Kowalski. Plaintiff does not dispute the attestation by the Krehbiels that Keri was in serious and immediate danger of "decay or waste" and "depreciation" and that Circle Double K Ranch was unable to continue to care for Keri.
Plaintiff mentions something about insurance for Keri, but fails to identify where in the record the disputed facts (if any) are located as required by MSK Civ. Practice Standard V.H.3.b.2.b. I've seen that before ..... make claims, can't prove them
Plaintiff misstates the elements necessary to prove a claim for conversion. See Plaintiff's Response, p. 1. § 1. Plaintiff ignores that the fundamental element necessary to prove conversion is proof of legal title to the converted property. See, e.g., Frost v. Eggeman, 638 P.2d 141, 144 (Wyo. 1981). Plaintiff ignores her own cited case law which holds that Plaintiff has the burden of proving both ownership and the right to possess the converted property. Eggert v. Vincent, 723 P.2d 527, 529 (Wash. App. 1986). a. Keri. i. Donja Vaughn Did Not Have Legal Title to Keri. I've seen this before too, change her story to suit her needs. Forget that she blatantly contradicts herself.
Here's more of the same story, should you find legalese a fascinating read.

Introducing : IlWAR_VALORlI from WarLoR . No wonder she's crazy.
I'll close with one of my favorite sayings. It's always reminded me of her.
El ladrón juzga por su condición Loosely translated: A thief believes everyone steals.
Oh, one more thing I TOLD YOU, YOU CAN'T MAKE THIS SHIT UP.
