Aadam and Azora Hoffman were NEVER missing

Exposing Jami Webber's Lies

Since our last post, Jami decided to reply by creating a post on her own blog. She makes grandiose remarks about our first ever public statement as being a "public trial". As a mother of two allegedly missing children, normal people would expect Jami to be relieved or glad to hear from us. Instead, Jami is taking a defensive posture and hurling insults because she's afraid of being exposed for her various lies.
A liar always perceives the truth to be like a "trial" because the truth challenges their delusion.

Jami's newest blog entry is riddled with unsupported slander and baseless accusations.We posted real factual evidence but Jami only blabs on without substantiating anything. Anyone can fabricate a tall-tale, but can she prove what she's saying is true? Take notice that Jami has not presented any evidence to back her wild accusations.

What did Jami say exactly? Let's take a look:

Then Why Don't You Contact Me?

"It seems Rick Hoffman has created a FB page and requested many of our mutual high school friends as his friends, I have read his blog and am disgusted how he has taken pieces of things out of context to use as evidence for this public trial he is creating on-line. Contrary to his blog, I have not had updates on my children, the call log he posted shows my calls to him (note no calls to me) & they all last 1min since they all went to voice mail, the picture I have of Azora & Aadam that he says his sis took while on a visit was obtained from someone who knew my family had not had any contact since 2008 & wanted us to know they were ok. Rick has blocked me & my sister from his FB, he has never given us an address & implied to his family that if they were in contact w/my family he would cut off communication w/them as well. My parents phone# is public & has always been the same, he has never tried to contact them. The 1 attempt he shows of trying to call me, was after my # changed (his sis had a current# for me). He changed his # in October 2008 when he claims I cut off contact, the authorities chose the Aug 1 2008 "last seen" date since I knew there was a possibility of extending their vacation (of which I was supposed to be notified & have been in contact through out). Which was also the reason for the notarized letter that HE asked for & told me what it needed to say. The only medical updated I received from Richard were threats thru txts to sent him money for Aadam's glasses, but when I replied asking for the doctor's info, he wouldn't give it to me. Richard has conveniently left out how he made false claims to CPS, threatening txts, taunting txts to call @specific times & never answer, and degrading emails. If his whereabouts where ok for me to know, why has he been keeping them from me for 5yrs? I have not received an updated phone# that he says he gave to law enforcement 3 wks ago. Since he claims it is ok for me to contact my children, I am posting my email address for him to email me: webberjami@yahoo.com on here, facebook, his youtube, & his blog...i'll let you all know when I hear from him and have spoken to my children."

The Holes in Jami's Claims:

"Out of context"

Yes, the battle cry of any ignorant liar or fanatic is always that their words were taken out of context. We would say that it's laughable except that it's actually tragic.
In order for something to be taken out of context, the meaning must be entirely different than the meaning when read within a collective thought.
Jami claims that all of the solid evidence against her claims were taken out of context. Let's examine Jami's exact words.
Jami Webber (in her May 20, 2008 email) said:

"I'm glad to hear the kids are adjusting well. A bit surprised you have them doing SO much (all the things i told you they wanted to do, but you always said not enough money)."

Was Jami literally glad that the kids were adjusting well, or was that taken out of context? Jami's very first sentence is that she is "glad to hear the kids are adjusting well". The sentence that follows it does NOT change the meaning or understanding of the first sentence.
By May 20, 2008 (3 months into their relocation abroad), Jami is quite happy that the kids are acclimating to their new home. She never says that they are "missing" or taken without her permission.
So when exactly were the kids "missing" or "kidnapped" as she claims?
The reality is that she was glad that they were abroad, just as she had fully consented to let them live abroad months earlier, in her hand-written and notarized letter of consent.

Has anyone ever heard of a kidnapper that has a letter of consent from the parents and also further written acknowledgements of agreement?
Neither have we.

Jami would like you all to see the situation like this:

Of course, Rick is not Iranian and this is not 1984. (Gee..I wonder where Jami borrowed her ideas from.)

Jami never had updates about the children

Jami said:
"Contrary to his blog, I have not had updates on my children..."

Jami was given CONSTANT and REGULAR updates about Aadam and Azora from the moment they arrived abroad.
The very picture posted on MissingKids.com was given to Jami by Rick, via email, after Azora's 11th birthday party. The picture used is only half of the picture given to Jami. The original whole picture is of Aadam and Azora at Azora's 11th birthday party at an amusement park. The picture was taken on October 11, 2008 and was sent to Jami within a day or two of it being taken.
Jami acknowledges receiving this photo in her email messages. However, she simultaneously claims that she was never updated about the children.
I would say that this is quite an update.

October 11, 2008 Azora's 11th B-Day Party. This picture was sent to Jami via email. The below email message refers to this very picture.


Jami and Rick's October 27, 2008 email where Jami acknowledges that Rick sent her an updated photo of the kids from Azora's 11th Birthday party. The photo mentioned in this email is the same photo used on missingkids.com.

Our challenge to Jami:
Show us PROOF of outgoing emails after October 2008!
Prove to everyone that you ceaselessly emailed Rick and the kids at the same email address you had for them! We already know that you're lying about the phone being disconnected, but explain why your fingers could no longer type a message to Rick's email account???
We're waiting.
We have email after email that show Jami was contacted regularly until she became unreachable.
To the best of our knowledge, Jami had NEVER given any of Rick's sisters a new number to contact her with.
Since Jami has spoken to Azora (May 2013), we now know that she made contact with Lori, but Rick and the kids hadn't spoken to Lori since 2007 and Jami knew that. This seems to be another tactic Jami loves to engage in.
She'll say: "But I spoke to someone you haven't had contact with in years."

Jami also claims that Rick's number was disconnected.

That is yet another lie.

Jami knew that they could not be reached on the old US Vonage phone number from the very beginning. The Vonage phone device was not compatible with the technology in Malaysia. At best they could only play voicemail tag with one another. And that is exactly what they did. The screenshot of Jami calling Rick's phone was taken by Azora and the reason was to show Rick that Jami had a new surname: "Aning". However, it does show that Jami had a number to contact us on.
By March 25, 2008, Rick no longer tried to use that phone number. Instead, they found that it was better to use a number through Skype. Rick forwarded all calls to their new number, 602-904-XXXX as well as calling Jami from that number.

It's ok...Jami already knows the last four digits of that number.
But how can we prove it?

A subpeona of Jami's phone records would reveal that Rick and the kids called her and that she called them at that number until late October 2008. That same number is the one and only number they use to call friends and family in the US and there is no excuse why Jami stopped calling except that she didn't want to communicate with them any longer.
Rick's entire family had always called him at that same (602) phone number and it was never disconnected.
At one point, Rick started a Facebook account under the name Rashad Abdullah Hoffman. He lost the login credentials, but before that he openly contacted old friends. He posted pictures of all the children and himself and he also openly gave friends his (602) phone number.
Rick's father gave the Buffalo Police their contact information back in 2009.
Jami has not tried to call us since 2008 and no one from any law enforcement agency has ever called us.

In the (above) screen shot of the Skype Account screen, anyone can clearly see that Rick and the children had activated an online phone number: 602-904-XXXX. Notice that the subscription was for 12 months, in March 2008 and it was renewed in March 2009.
Rick maintained the same number from March 2008 until at least March 2009. This means that Jami is lying because his phone number was never disconnected.

Jami was given this new number to contact Rick and the kids within 30 days of their relocation.

More blatant lies from Jami

Jami says:
"Rick...implied to his family that if they were in contact w/my family he would cut off communication w/them as well."

Prove it!

Rick rarely spoke to his parents and siblings as it was. What kind of threat would that have been??

Anyone that knows Rick well, knows that he moved out when he was very young. As a matter of fact, by 2008 Rick's parents and siblings didn't even know that he was remarried with a new baby! There was nothing ever implied to them about ceasing contact with Jami and her family. That accusation doesn't even make sense, because Rick was rarely in contact with them anyway.

Jami claims "The Authorities" fabricated the lie about August 1st, 2008

Jami says that she never claimed to have last seen Aadam and Azora on August 1, 2008. She claims that the Police fabricated the date.
Jami says:
"...the authorities chose the Aug 1 2008 "last seen" date since I knew there was a possibility of extending their vacation (of which I was supposed to be notified & have been in contact through out.)"

That explanation is a lie.
According to the NAMUS website (under the "police information" section), a police report was filed on October 19, 2008. At that point in time Rick and was still in contact with Jami. She still had his email address and had just received Aadam and Azora's newest pictures from Azora's 11th birthday party! The idea of them being on an alleged vacation was not even part of the equation. Jami knew full well that they were not missing when she filed the police report.
The Buffalo Police likely didn't invent the missing date, but they are basing their information upon Jami's lies. From the October 27, 2008 email below, we see that Rick was clearly in "contact throughout."

October 27, 2008: Jami asks for another copy of a picture from Azora's 11th Birthday party to be sent to her. Jami was receiving updates and pictures of both Aadam and Azora.

Which of Jami's versions are the truth?

At first:
Jami claims that we were on a "2 week vacation". Yet Jami authoured and notarized a letter that allowed Aadam and Azora Hoffman to relocate without restrictions. The date of Jami's handwritten, notarized letter of permission supersedes the date of the passport applications.

It wasn't a matter of if they would move to Malaysia forever.
It was only a matter of when. Jami's letter and her later behavior makes it extremely clear.
Jami raised no objections to this arrangement before or after they left. Rick was not present when she drafted the letter nor when she notarized it. She lived in Buffalo and he lived 2 hours away.

Then:
Jami changes her story to claim it was also an "extended vacation".
After Jami realized that her story didn't make any sense in light of the emergence of her handwritten and notarized letter of permission, she changed her story.

Now:
Jami's claiming it was a 6 month +++ vacation.
Who in their right mind goes on a six month vacation with 3 children? I've never heard of such nonsense before. As we highlighted earlier, Jami was glad to hear the kids were "adjusting well".
So why would any parent expect young children to adjust to a new environment, temperate zone, and culture only to make a difficult transition back into the previous environment?
It just doesn't make sense. People do not adjust for a vacation!

Why doesn't Jami's new claim make sense?

The school year in Malaysia doesn't end until November

Why would we work so hard to make sure Aadam and Azora acclimate to their new environment, only to tear them from it before the end of the Malaysian school year? The truth is that there wasn't any plan (written or verbal) to return by August 1st or anything similar to that.
The US school systems are ahead of the Malaysian ones, so it would be easy and practical to leave the US and let the kids learn in Malaysia, but it would be counterproductive and disruptive to do the opposite. Returning to the United States was never part of the plan and Jami was fully aware of this.

What kind of job would Rick return to?

Rick had already quit. If investigators had interviewed Rick's boss at the Medical Facility he worked at they would have likely learned that Rick was reluctant to take a promotion as a Senior Instructor because he was planning on terminating his employment when leaving to Malaysia in the coming months.

We were still in communication with Jami at that point

There is no mention of us returning to the US at any point, in any form of communication between Jami and Rick. Returning to the US was never even a fleeting idea and Jami knew that. Jami was still in contact with Rick and the kids via email and their (602) phone number until the end of October 2008. It had been 9 months, since Rick and the kids relocated, and Jami had not sent a solitary email message that said anything about the kids being missing or that any wrongdoing had taken place.

Did Jami invent these lies, or did the "authorities"?
We would love to see any solid evidence that shows Jami demanding the kids return to the US.

Threats to Send Money for Aadam's Glasses

Jami says:
"The only medical updated I received from Richard were threats thru txts to send him money for Aadam's glasses..."

Jami admits that she did, in fact, receive a medical update about Aadam from Rick, and she also admits that she failed to pay for the medical costs.
By the same divorce decree that Jami clings to so religiously, it would be fair game to remind her that she is obligated to pay for all medical costs according to that divorce decree. Knowing the name of the doctor or not has nothing to do with the price of tea in China. Jami was given legitimate information about Aadam and she refused to pay what she is required to pay by law.
In fact, I think it's time that everyone is made aware that Jami has not contributed a single penny towards Aadam and Azora's medical costs or any other form of child support since February 2008.

Ironically (and illegally, we might add) Jami has a surplus of money gained from claiming Earned Income Credit from the IRS each year, since 2008, even though the children have not lived with her and have not lived in the United States. This is a clear violation of US Tax Law.

According to Publication 596, Chapter 2, page 17, Residency Test (visit the IRS website):
"Kidnapped child. A kidnapped child is treated as living with you for more than half of
the year if the child lived with you for more than half the part of the year before the date
of the kidnapping. The child must be presumed by law enforcement authorities to have
been kidnapped by someone who is not a member of your family or the child’s family.
This treatment applies for all years until the child is returned. However, the last year this
treatment can apply is the earlier of:
1. The year there is a determination that the child is dead, or
2. The year the child would have reached age 18.
If your qualifying child has been kidnapped and meets these requirements, enter “KC,”
instead of a number, on line 6 of Schedule EIC."

Being disgusted by Jami's repulsive attitude towards her shirked parental obligations, and by her illegal activities, is in no way a "threat". The harshness of Rick's words was limited to suggesting that she go back "on welfare". Aadam needed glasses for school immediately. This was no time to contemplate the universe and meditate on it. Asking for the doctor's name was a stall-tactic, which Rick recognized from his days of dealing with debtors as a Debt Collector.
In later communications, Jami admits that she didn't have money because she was "unemployed". Rick emailed his bank account number to Jami, after she left "taunting" voicemail messages (March 28 & 29, 2008) for Rick to do so, but she failed to deposit anything ever.

Jami is a deadbeat mother who was unable to provide basic monetary support for essential medical services for her children. Jami complained that even her parents were too poor to help loan her the necessary money, so Jami made the outrageous suggestion that Rick's father pay Jami's bills!

In the end, Rick paid for the eye specialist appointments and for Aadam's very expensive glasses. Jami lied about not getting medical updates, failed to pay for the children's medical care, and she even lied about why she didn't pay anything! The lies just keep piling up.

Jami promised money for Aadam's medical care and never paid it. In the email above Jami admits that she is unemployed and too poor to support the kids. (May 6, 2008)

What Point Did Jami Fail to Address in Her Blog and Why?

In Jami's latest blog entry she makes many accusations, as we have shown above. However, Jami fails to address some key issues and facts raised in our previous blog entry.

Why did Jami offer to pack up the house for us if she really believed we were coming back?

Imagine:
You're leaving for a two week vacation. -OR- You're going for a six month vacation.
Do you pack up your whole house and put the items into storage?

No. Of course not.

Jami offered to pack up Rick's house and place their items into storage because she knew that it was a PERMANENT move.

Think about it. Why else would Jami wait nine months to file a missing person's report? What parent wants to wait for the mandatory 48 hours, let alone nine months!? It's because Jami knew the kids were never missing. There is no other logical answer.
Before Rick and the kids left abroad, they planned on packing up the house and placing the items into storage until shipping could be arranged. They were preoccupied with traveling to Boston, MA to retrieve the kids' passports so they wouldn't miss their international flight; arranging a mover was the least of their priorities that week.
Jami knew that and when she came to get Black (the pet turtle) she realized that maybe they would want her help to make arrangements. According to the neighbors, she even left boxes inside Rick's front patio when she visited the house! These are not the words and actions of a victim.

Imagine:

Your kids are supposedly kidnapped by your ex-spouse -OR-You believe that you kids and ex are only leaving for a vacation:
Would you then offer to pack up their house for them?
Would you also bring boxes to actually pack up the house?

In fact, Jami brought boxes to Rick's home with the very real intention to actually pack the home. The neighbors have signed sworn statements to the same and so has the property manager of the property.

Jami knew, fully consented, and even facilitated the relocation. This is not a case about missing kids! This is a case of a woman who has lost her marbles!

How to reach us

The police were given our home phone number (602-904-xxxx), and email address back in 2009. They never contacted us. We supplied missingkids.com, Buffalo Police, and others with the same contact info 6 months ago. So far, we have only received an anonymous letter containing an unofficial missing kids poster inside and no return-address on the letter. No heart-felt letter or gifts were sent to Aadam and Azora, from a mother that loves them. Just a disingenuous missing kids letter.

In Summary:

1) Nothing was quoted "out of context"in our first blog entry.
2) Jami was given updates about both kids, including a barrage of pictures.
3) Jami did have Rick's current phone number since they relocated
4) Rick did not tell his family to cease contact with Jami
5) Jami or Police fabricated the missing date of August 1, 2008 because no crime was committed
6) It's not a "threat" to expect Jami to pay for the children's medical expenses
7) Jami posting a newly created email address is mere subterfuge. She has our phone number and simply refused to call and now she refuses to answer when her kids try to call

Jami currently has Azora's Skype username, Malaysian cell phone number, email address, home address, Blog address, Facebook address, etc. Yet, Jami has not attempted any substantial contact.
In June 2013, Jami told Aadam and Azora that she would send them a box of gifts. It has never arrived and she has not mentioned it since. The children have left her daily voicemails and send emails, but she has not replied.
As of July 6th, 2013, Jami has vanished once again. Jami has not answered her cell phone for the children in 2 months time. The children's phone number is visible on caller ID and Jami is running out of excuses.

Azora and Aadam Hoffman are not missing, their mother is missing.
Call your children, Jami.

For live updates about Jami's lack of communication with Aadam and Azora, visit Rick's Facebook Page.

***The goal of this Blog is to exonerate Rick Hoffman, explain the true circumstances regarding their relocation, and encourage Jami to contact her kids.

Aadam and Azora Hoffman were NEVER missing
