Report to the Governor

How the Discovery of Mass Corruption in the state of Arizona led to the Abduction of McKinley Harris Thaler

ByJohn Harris Thaler

Usually printed in 3 - 5 business days
On September 19, 2020, McKinley Harris Thaler, nearly three-years-old, was abducted. At that time, McKinley’s dad was investigating money laundering and public corruption in his home state of Arizona. The abduction was intended to extort dad into terminating the investigation concerning. To date, neither dad nor dad’s family members nor family friends has seen McKinley or received any communication from him. Dad does not know where his son is. The State of Arizona is a cesspool of corruption. Fentanyl, heroin, cocaine, and crystal methamphetamine flow freely through an open border. And with it comes the cash. Billions of dollars flow into hundreds of cash houses while the drugs are held in stash houses. The result is a plethora of racketeering enterprises: money laundering, tax evasion, insurance fraud, payroll theft, election fraud, and bankruptcy fraud. Bribes paid to public officials, both elected and appointed, provide the Mexican drug cartels with a safe haven. In February 2019, attorney John Harris Thaler and his team were retained to investigate. Thaler had a star witness: Brittany Rae Chavez, his wife of three years. At the time of their marriage in 2016, Thaler had no idea that his wife and her mother, Dawna Rae Chavez, were participants in one of the largest multistate money laundering schemes in U.S. history or that their participation spanned more than 20 years. Thaler had no idea that Brittany had known him since 2011 when she was paid to create an extortion scheme intended to disrupt an earlier investigation into organized crime. He did not know that their chance meeting in October 2014 was anything but an accident of fate. He did not know that their marriage was a sham. Thaler’s accidental discovery of certain falsified recorded trust deeds in early 2018 changed everything. By late 2019, Brittany was a cooperating witness who requested Federal Witness Protection. But before protection could be arranged, Brittany succumbed to family pressures and threats of violence aimed at her, at Thaler, and at their two-year-old son, McKinley. After two previous short-lived abductions, on September 19, 2020, McKinley was taken for the third and final time. Report to the Governor chronicles the four-year investigation conducted by Thaler and his law office. It includes the findings and evidence provided to Arizona Governor Doug Ducey in May 2022, to federal agencies, to attorneys general in five states, and to a joint Arizona House
