<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #365f91;"><span style="font-family: Cambria;">12<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Michael Frazier<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></h1>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<o:p><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span></span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;">Michael
Frazier was not an attractive man—not by any stretch of the imagination. At six
feet, his frame bordered on scrawniness and he had a slightly humped back,
probably from years of leaning over to play the organ. His hair resembled steel
wool and was usually in dire need of a good trim. His eyes were beady black
holes punctuating his pinched, pale scruffy face. Unable to wear contact
lenses, Frazier’s myopia was corrected by large, horn-rimmed glasses that only
accentuated a small, taut face with thin, lifeless lips and a receding
hairline.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Although plagued by social awkwardness, there were two
arenas where Michael had friends—Trinity United Methodist, where he was thought
to be a musical genius, and at The Oak Ridger Newspaper, where is talent as a
writer was appreciated. Unknown to most, Michael possessed a certain disdain
for many people, usually thinking he was the smartest person in a room. He was
quick with sarcastic comments veiled as jokes, when someone’s “stupidity”
annoyed him. Like one in three Americans, Michael suffered from bouts of
depression, compounded by a certain bitterness stemming from his disappointment
in the life he had lived.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;">But
Michael Frazier had a secret—one he kept from the world. He was in love with a
beautiful creature he had met seven years earlier. His joy, and paradoxically
sadness, spun around his brain when he allowed himself to fantasize about how
his life would be with her by his side. Facing the truth, he knew there was no
way such a woman would ever be interested in him. In his heart he knew, Lisa
Whedbee was unattainable...<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;">Lisa
and Michael became friends when she joined the choir in 1991, about a year
after the birth of her daughter with severe disabilities. He admired the
strength she seemed to show for the cards she had been dealt. He could not know
it was a well-practiced facade she presented to the world. The tender care she
showed for her daughter moved him, and he always wished there was some way he could
help this precious angel. It was this desire that motivated Michael to suggest
the story about Lisa and her struggles to raise a special needs child.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;">Lisa
loved the idea of the story. Of course, Lisa loved anything that made her the
center of attention, and she was happy to meet with Michael numerous times as
they worked on the article. Michael was in heaven getting to spend time with
Lisa almost every day during the two weeks it took to gather everything he
needed to write the piece. Maybe he stretched it out a little bit, but being in
her presence made him feel like the man he had always wanted to be. Despite
everything he was feeling, he thought he was in tight control of his behavior,
lest his true feelings slip out and give him away. When the article was
published on that Mother’s Day, Michael was elated to see how proud and happy
Lisa was with his work.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;">Michael
would have almost fainted if he knew, for all his outward control, Lisa became
increasingly aware of his feelings for her. She thought his adoration of her
was sweet, and a thought began to germinate in her mind—Perhaps Michael Frazier
might be able to serve a real purpose in her life.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 11.5pt; line-height: 200%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-themecolor: text1;"><br />
<o:p><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p><i><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Lisa Whedbee wanted out</span></i><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">. Since her daughter Brittany's birth, she had never
been able to accept the loving little girl with profound physical and mental
disabilities. Selfish and narcissistic, Lisa considered the child to be an
embarrassment and a burden; one who had destroyed the perfect life she
took great pride in presenting to the world. Brittany's care had created
growing discord between Lisa and her husband, Rob, and was slowly decimating
any love they may have once shared. Lisa was ready to break the fetters which
bound her to him. Rob was no longer an asset, and with him gone, she would have
the means to live the life she believed she deserved. Finally, there was the
pawn-- just a means to an end. His moments were also numbered in her murderous
plot.<i> The horses were at the gate, and Lisa Whedbee was poised for a perfect
trifecta.</i></span></o:p></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">

<span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Her plan unfolded in the
early morning hours of June 8, 1994, when a flyspeck of a man dressed in black,
covetous and possessed by passion, clutched a large knife in his gloved hands
and stood above his sleeping prey. He could not know, as the blade arced
towards its target, how many lives would be forever changed by his crimes.</span><span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 11.5pt; line-height: 200%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-themecolor: text1;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Breaking dawn would reveal aspects of the odd
and multifaceted case, and the minute the story hit the AP Wire, the media
descended upon Knoxville, Tennessee, a charming city in the shadows of the
Great Smoky Mountains.<i> CNN, The Los Angeles Times, The Washington Post, The
New York Times,</i> and <i>People Magazine</i> were just a few of the news
outlets vying for interviews with anyone who might have a connection to the
case. The reporters said it was a "sexy" story--church, greed,
adultery, blood, and a defenseless, profoundly disabled child, all the elements
that garner column inches and ratings, spurring readership and attracting viewers.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">

<span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Even when the O.J. Simpson case fired up several
days later, media interest in the attempted murder of a respected Knoxville
businessman remained high. Tabloid news outlets saw a good story and, before
long, the cameras were rolling for segments on<i> A Current Affair, City
Confidential, Dateline, Hard Copy, </i>and<i> Snapped. </i>For the first time
in Tennessee legal history, the doors of justice swung open for <i>Court TV</i><span style="mso-bidi-font-style: italic;"> and<i> </i></span>legal pundits lined up to
provide commentary about the unusual proceedings. Despite the high profile
coverage of the case, the whole story, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">what
really happened</i>, has yet to be told<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">A true crime chronicle, <i>The Rude Awakening of
Rob Whedbee</i>, explores the bizarre account of attempted murder,
recounts the events leading up to the crime, and provides an in-depth
post-mortem of the legal fiasco that followed. The book discusses some of
the psychological behaviors that drive ultimate betrayal and exposes some of
the gross inequities sometimes found in the judicial system. It also reveals
how a courageous spirit can learn to move forward, rebuild lives, and
rediscover trust.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="post-body entry-content" itemprop="description articleBody">
The episode will focus on Rob Whedbee's life with a wife who manipulated him, lied to him and about him, and ultimately tried to kill him to reap the benefits of his $1.5 million dollar life insurance policy, and other assets totaling more than $4 million..<br />
<br />
A narcissistic sociopath, Rob's wife made life difficult for him for twelve years, with things rapidly disintegrating after the birth of their daughter Brittany who was born with profound Down Syndrome, and suffered numerous traumatic medical issues during her first four years of life, including a congenital heart defect called ventricular septal defect (VSD), and a rare brain defect called MoyaMoya disease.<br />
<br />
Lisa Whedbee never could accept her special needs child and frequently neglected her, leaving Brittany's care to Rob and his parents, Joyce and Lloyd Whedbee. Most believe that Brittany's life was also in danger the night of the attempt on Rob's life.<br />

Whedbee was sleeping peacefully in the bedroom of his two-story brick house
last June 8 when he suddenly awoke to a nightmare. Looming over him stood an
intruder wearing rubber gloves and holding a large butcher knife. A weight
lifter and onetime amateur boxer, Whedbee, 33, fought back furiously as the
figure lashed out with the knife. As he and his assailant tumbled to the floor,
Whedbee yelled to his wife, Lisa, 31, for help. But, he later told the Knox
County, Tenn., sheriffs department, Lisa was not in her usual place beside him
in bed. <br />
<br />
Instead she appeared frozen in the bedroom doorway holding an aluminum baseball
bat. Whedbee shouted for her to turn on the lights and call the police, but she
didn't respond. All he heard, he says, was his attacker shouting, "You've
got to do it! Do it now!" Breaking free, Whedbee fled the room and ran
down a hall and into the garage, with the assailant in close pursuit. There in
his garage, Whedbee finally got a clear look at the knife-wielder before he ran
off. Whedbee was stunned. Treated and released for minor wounds on his ear and
hands, he later told police that the man who had tried to kill him was Michael
Frazier, 32, the features editor for the Oak Ridger, a nearby weekday newspaper
with a circulation of 10,000. Whedbee knew him as a fellow member of the
Trinity United Methodist Church in Knoxville. And more to the point, Frazier
had written a prize-winning article last year about the Whedbee family's
struggle to care for their daughter Brittany, now 4, who had had a series of
strokes as a toddler and also suffers from Down syndrome. Within hours police
arrested Frazier and Lisa, and on Aug. 10 a Knoxville grand jury indicted them
on charges including attempted first-degree murder. In the year that Frazier's
article appeared, investigators believe, the pair became lovers and later
decided to kill Rob Whedbee—perhaps to collect on his reported $1.5 million
insurance policy. <br />
<br />
Reaction to the attack among friends and acquaintances was one of disbelief.
Frazier, an opera buff who was married to his second wife, Tracy, 31, was a
popular figure at the church. He worked there as a part-time organist to supplement
his income from the Oak Ridger, where he had worked since 1988. Lisa sang in
the volunteer church choir. The other connection between the two was Frazier's
article, "A Mother's Nightmare, A Mother's Dream," which had
portrayed Lisa in highly sympathetic—even heroic—terms. Paul Jones, the music
director at the church, says it never occurred to him that the two might be
having an affair. "Everyone loved Michael," he adds. "He's a
real tight part of this church family." But no one was more aghast at the
accusations than Lisa and Rob's neighbors. "I know a lot of people who
don't appear happy," says Suzanne Shinn, who lives next door in the
suburban neighborhood. "They always did." <br />
<br />
Yet appearances, in this case, were misleading. Last April, Lisa Whedbee
consulted attorney Sarah Sheppeard about a divorce. Then, on May 17, she filed
a petition for an order of protection. In it, she alleged that when she
returned home after the appointment with Sheppeard, her husband was angrily
waiting for her. "He told me that my attorney would not ever make it to
court for me because he would kill her first, then he would kill my best friend
for helping me," Lisa claimed in the court document. The following week,
when Whedbee noticed that she had removed her wedding rings, she declared, he
"placed his hands around my neck, choking me (in front of Brittany), and
told me how he would snap my neck." Then he allegedly raped her. <br />
<br />
Whedbee, Lisa's husband of 12 years, adamantly denies her accusations. "I
have never been physically or mentally abusive to [my] wife," Whedbee
stated in a divorce action he began hours after the June 8 assault. In fact, in
his testimony at a preliminary hearing, he contended that Lisa threatened him
with domestic violence. Last May 15, according to Whedbee, after one
particularly heated argument over whether their children, Justin, 8, and
Brittany, should be allowed to swim at his parents' house, he encountered his
wife in the basement carrying a loaded shotgun, which she pointed in his
direction. Whedbee ran from the house. <br />
<br />
Since the attempted knifing, Lisa has fired off a divorce counterclaim of her
own, citing "irreconcilable differences" and asking for sole custody
of Justin and Brittany. But because Rob obtained a temporary injunction
forbidding any contact with the children, who remain with their father, she has
seen neither one since her arrest. Released that night on $50,000 bail, Lisa
spent nearly two weeks under psychiatric treatment in an undisclosed hospital.
As for her possible defense, lawyers intend to argue that a statement she made
to police on the day of the attack, in which she apparently admitted having an
affair with Frazier and letting him into the house, should be thrown out
because she did not have an attorney present. Like Lisa, Frazier, who is also
free on bail, is expected to plead not guilty at their arraignment on Sept. 9.
Whatever the outcome of the trial, which may not begin until next year, the
June 8 attack has left local residents wondering if anything these days can be
taken for granted. Says the Whedbees' neighbor Bill Shinn: "The Whedbees
were the perfect family. They were the perfect neighbors. And Lisa was the
perfect wife." <br />

<span class="userContent"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Reviewing pictures for the book, I found this one taken of Rob Whedbee when I was in Knoxville last October. I had flown out to meet Rob and to make a decision about writing the book. So it's been a year and I'm headed back to Knoxville (via my jeep) to <span class="text_exposed_show">work on the filming project and to tie up some loose ends. It's been a real pleasure to get to know Rob and to work with him on the book. He has a wonderful family and some great friends, and although I work my rear end off when I am there, I always enjoy my time. Many thanks to Rob and his family for the friendship and support they have given me over the past year. This has been one of the best experience in my life. Really!</span></span></span></div>

<span class="text_exposed_show"><em><span style="color: #0c343d;">"The Rude Awakening of Rob Whedbee"
explores the bizarre account of the attempted murder, the events leading up to the crime, and an in-depth post-mortem of the legal fiasco that
followed. The book exposes the traumatic impact of the crime on the victims,
and the gross inequities often found in the judicial system. It also shows how
a courageous spirit can move forward, rebuild lives, and even rediscover trust</span></em>.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #cc0000;"> <em>Court TV</em> Coverage of Tennessee vs. Michael Frazier</span></h2>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
For the first time in Tennessee legal history, the
doors of justice swung open for <em>Court TV.</em> The cable channel came to Knoxville to provide national coverage of the trial of Michael Frazier, charged with the attempted murder of John Robert Whedbee, his lover's husband. While Frazier and Whedbee's wife, Lisa, failed in their attempt to murder Rob Whedbee in his bed that night, the defense made every effort to assassinate his character during the trial.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Catch some of the coverage on YouTube.</div>

by email. Maybe I was naïve, but I felt a certain kinship with the best-selling
author. After graduating from college in 1969 and before he wrote his first
novel, Tom Clancy worked as an insurance broker. In 1980, he bought his own
agency and began work on <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The Hunt for the
Red October, </i>which was published in 1984.<o:p></o:p></span></span><br />

perhaps Mr. Clancy might be willing to point me in the right direction. When I
emailed the best-selling author, it never occurred to me that <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>he might not welcome questions from fledgling
writers. I thought, you know, one insurance guy to another.<o:p></o:p></span></span><br />

UPDATE: Tentative date set for airing of Investigation Discovery segment on the story of the attempted murder of Rob Whedbee.<br />
<br />
Saturday, March 1st<br />
Investigation Discovery Channel<br />
WHO THE BLEEP DID I MARRY<br />
<br />
Stay tuned for details.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Stay tuned all you Investigation Discovery addicts. The production company film crew will be in Knoxville this month to film an episode for <em>Who the Bleep Did I Marry</em>. The episode will focus on Rob Whedbee's life with a wife who manipulated him, lied to him and about him, and ultimately tried to kill him to reap the benefits of his $1.5 million dollar life insurance policy, and other assets totaling more than $4 million..<br />
<br />
A narcissistic sociopath, Rob's wife made life difficult for him for twelve years, with things rapidly disintegrating after the birth of their daughter Brittany who was born with profound Down Syndrome, and suffered numerous traumatic medical issues during her first four years of life, including a congenital heart defect called ventricular septal defect (VSD), and a rare brain defect called MoyaMoya disease.<br />
<br />
Lisa Whedbee never could accept her special needs child and frequently neglected her, leaving Brittany's care to Rob and his parents, Joyce and Lloyd Whedbee. Most believe that Brittany's life was also in danger the night of the attempt on Rob's life.<br />
<br />
The filming will take place over a two day period, and will include interviews with Rob Whedbee and others involved in the case. The episode promises to be a good and informative "watch" and is projected to air in February of 2014.<br />
<br />
We'll keep you posted.<a href="http://.www.mayoclinic.com/health/ventricular-septal-defect/DS00614">.</a><br />

A sociopathic, narcissistic woman, purposely, and without regard, did unforgiveable damage to her husband, her children, and their families...and she just didn't care.

settled in 1786, Knoxville abounds in history.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>It was the first capital of Tennessee, and was reported to be a stop on
the Underground Railroad. Although the city struggled with geographic
isolation, the arrival of the railroad in 1855 helped precipitate an economic
boom.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Bitterly divided during the Civil
War, Knoxville was occupied by both Union and Confederate armies during the war
vying for control of the railroads and waterways. Numerous forts were erected
during the war including Fort Dickerson, and Fort Loudon. Probably the most
famous was Fort Sanders, named after Union General William P. Sanders who was
killed by a sniper’s bullet as he was surveying the battleground in order to
develop a strategic plan. The bullet came from a confederate sniper positioned
in the bell tower of the Bleak House, headquarters for Confederate Lt. General
James Longstreet, one of General Lee’s most trusted commanders. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;">On
November 29, 1863, Longstreet planned and executed an unsuccessful campaign to
break through the lines of Union Major General Ambrose Burnsides to provide
reinforcements to the Confederate troops in Chattanooga. Longstreet’s siege was
ultimately ended when Union Major General William Sherman marched into East
Tennessee bringing reinforcements to Burnsides. The Confederates would not
regain control of Knoxville for the rest of the war.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;">Established
in 1794 as Blount College, the school went on to become the main campus of the
University of Tennessee, recognized as the largest research institute in
Tennessee. Offering more than 300 degreed programs to its student census of
approximately 28,000, UT is especially respected for its agriculture and
engineering programs. UT is also home to the Tennessee Volunteers, and
Knoxvillians take their football and their beloved “Vols,” as the locals say,
with a religious fervor.

is also home to the Tennessee Valley Authority.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Established in 1933, the TVA began constructing hydroelectric and other
power plants which provided flood control and jobs, and provided the area with
electricity, making a major impact on industry in Knoxville that continues
today.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

25 miles west of Knoxville sits Oak Ridge, an area, once shrouded in secrecy,
chosen by the United States Federal Government in 1942 to be the research
facility for the Manhattan Project. The government felt that the location’s
accessibility by highway and rail, and readily available water and electricity
resources, along with its situation within a long valley made it an ideal
facility for the development of the atomic bomb. During the war, more than
70,000 people were brought in to work on the top-secret project.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Today the facility is under civilian
control.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>According to Wikipedia, “… the
Department of Energy runs a nuclear and high-tech research establishment at the
site and performs national security work. Tours of parts of the original
facility are available to American citizens from June through September. The
tour is so popular that there is a waiting list for seats.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

I glanced at the calendar on my desk yesterday, and wondered: Where has the
summer gone? We're just one week away from September. The big, yellow
school buses are already rolling, and I see the faces of children lined up at
the bus stops on my way to the office. <o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
Work is never-ending. My dad is in ill health, and can't put in the hours he
would like to. Justin, now 27, passed his insurance exam, and is working
hard to put the numbers up on the board. He's doing quite well, and I am proud
of him.<o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
There is also a new little fellow at the office...My grandson, Logan, is
about eight months old now, and he loves coming to work with Daddy and Mom. He
is growing fast, and has recently become a speed crawler. Yes, I am prejudiced,
but he is one of the cutest babies I have ever seen. I can't wait until he
is old enough for me to teach him how to fish.<o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
Miss Brit is doing well. She has formed a real bond with her nurse, Pam
McDonald, and I am grateful for the excellent care she gives Brit.<o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
My parents just celebrated their 62nd wedding anniversary. Can you believe
it??? Sixty-two years, and they still have a good, loving relationship.<o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
The book is moving along at a good clip now that most of the research has
been collected. Sheree spent three weeks here in July, and uncovered a wealth
of information critical to the story. She also solved a few mysteries that have
been speculated about for 19 years.<br />
<br />
Anyway, just wanted to check in. Thanks for your continued support. I'll leave you with a few more pictures from the family album.<o:p></o:p><br />
