It has been revealed that the head of the American missionaries sent to prison for alleged child abduction in Haiti has a very tainted past full of bad debts, divorce and unpaid wages back home.

Laura Silsby founded her "New Life Children's Refuge" organization at an address development in an area of Boise, Idaho, that to this day, has not been finished. She created this group in November. By December the $338,500 house was repossessed.

Silsby, a divorced mother of small children was responsible for creating the Christian rescue mission that led to ten American Baptists attempting to take 33 Haitian children out of the country. The ten Bapitists were subsequently arrested.

Back in America, Silsby runs a shopping service on the world wide web. But court records demonstrate that she has been sued for wages that remain unpaid and had bad debts time and time again, and has had at least nine driving violations since 1997. A final total of fourteen claims totaling $38,100 were filed against Silsby's company over the past two years.

The Idaho department of labor concluded that $30,620 was owed to employees and in addition hit her with a $4000 fine. The company's previous marketing director took Ms Silsby and PersonalShopper.com to court in October. She claims that she was jipped out of five months of unpaid wages for a grand total of $22,016.

According to the law suit's documents during 2009, Silsby repeatedly told the plaintiff that she had investors committed. She claimed that the money was being wired and also that investors were going to be the ones providing the funds.

Silsby is now sitting in a holding cell in Haiti but she is due to be back in Idaho for a civil trial on February 22. Additionally, she is due to appear in court in March to face a second civil suit involving an Idaho law firm for $4, 526 in unpaid fees.
