About Linda Hunnicutt
Linda Hunnicutt: An Unauthorized Biography
Linda E. Hunnicutt was born Linda Elaine Lamm on 07/01/1942 in Craven County, North Carolina. She relocated to Florida, attended Hialeah Senior High School (class of 1960), in her own words: "ran away from home, got pregnant", and gave birth to a son (Ray Lamm, 10/21/1960, more info).
Linda later returned to Florida and married Paul Erwin Schubkegel, 25 years her senior. Together (along with Ray Lamm) they purchased a property at 2570 74th Ave SE, Naples, FL (Tract 12, Unit 107, Golden Gates Estates, Plat Book 7, Page 17, Collier County, FL) in November 1986.
At age 71, Paul Schubkegel passed away on July 28, 1988 - just a few days before he was to have appeared in court for a charge of "manufacture controlled substance" he incurred on July 16 of the previous year.
Linda had opened a restaurant business called "My Place", and in March 1988 she paid (or rather, didn't pay) its assessed sales tax using a worthless check. In a final judgment granted to the business' landlord against Schubkegel, the court ordered Heimback (the landlord) entitled to all "furniture, fixtures, and equipment" left on the premises plus $5,543.68 for non-paid rent, damages, and legal fees. Her son Ray carried the torch, figuratively speaking - racking up delinquent sales tax warrants (8/3/88, 1/20/89, 6/7/89). He eventually paid off the 1989 sales tax warrants in November '89 [ 1 | 2 ], leaving a 1988 tax lien outstanding. When Ray Lamm had been arrested on or about March 19, 1988 and charged with intentional malicious land burning, it was Linda Lamm Schubkegel's mother (Ray's grandmother) who came to his rescue - taking out an additional mortgage in order to pay his bond.
In 1991, Linda (Lamm) Schubkegel and Timothy Malone Hunnicutt got married. They opened a pet shop called "Tim's Animal House". In 1992, Tim and Linda Hunnicutt dba (doing business as) Tim's Animal House were sued by West Coast Development Corporation for breach of contract, resulting in a 1993 judgment against them in the amount of $18,153.34.
In 1997, Linda Hunnicutt was sued by Flor Ramirez for "contract indebtedness", resulting in a 1999 judgment against Hunnicutt and a court order to convey clear and free title on the Golden Gate Estates property to Ramirez in settlement of that judgment.
In 1998, Tim and Linda Hunnicutt aquired a home in New Bern, North Carolina and relocated there. In 2001, they attempted to raffle off the house; which resulted in their being charged with and convicted of "operating an illegal raffle". We found several versions of Tim and Linda's house raffle web site still online at archive.org (and a couple of remnant pages on tripod.com, the original host site). Careful examination of the pages in these screenshots [ 1:archive.org:02/23/01 | 2:archive.org:04/01/01 | 3:archive.org:04/07/01 | 4:archive.org:05/18/01 | 5:archive.org:07/20/01 | 6:tripod.com ] yields a few observations:
How comfortable is Linda Hunnicutt when it comes to advertising something that may be planned or intended, but not yet solidified as fact? How willing are the Hunnicutts to re-invent their "message" for the pursuit of money?
Note, also, the statement appearing on the house.htm page in Screenshot 6: "House was donated to National Primate Association Inc. by primate lovers to help all primates."
How could this be true, when a) National Primate Association Inc. did not exist in 1998 when Hunnicutts acquired the property, and b) the Hunnicutts are recorded as borrowers on a 1998 Deed of Trust associated with the property?
Why had the Hunnicutts previously claimed on their 1997 web site at www.nationalprimate.org that National Primate Association was incorporated and a 501-C-3, but then announced in 2001 (Screenshot 2:archive.org:04/01/01) they were in the process of becoming incorporated? And why did the Hunnicutts make the claim that the www.nationalprimate.org web site was on a secure server when it was NOT?
See "Is 'Monkey Business' Linda Hunicutt's Middle Name?" for more on Linda Hunnicutt's reputation in the primate business.
In 2003 and 2004, Linda Hunnicutt was attaching herself to animal rights activism circles, and by 2005 she had gathered a crew of activists who took up the passive-agressive moniker "Granny Warriors". There is no shortage of reading materials in Google's index about Hunnicutt, the Granny Warrior. Although Hunnicutt claimed on the internet in September 2008 that Granny Warriors was a non-profit corporation, we were unable to turn up any documentation to substantiate that claim -- and we have to wonder: IF Granny Warriors was already incorporated, then why did Hunnicutt file an assumed name to do business as "Granny Warriors" in July of 2009?
