Marlowe and fraud. Fraud that included participating in harboring a felony convicted animal abuser while she was a fugitive. Starting a fraudulent non-profit for the animal abuser. Allowing the animal abuser to torture animals in Marlowe’s Tehachapi property. Marlowe, in an effort to hide her fraud and participation in animal abuse, hired an internet reputation repair company to spam the internet with fluff so when you google her name you won’t see the official documentation filed by Marlowe herself. Is Marlowe still hiding behind fraudulent non-profits to scam and fraud?

BEWARE OF 'RESCUER' SUSAN MARLOWE: Accused animal hoarder faces similar charges in Riverside — under different name
BY JAMES Burger, Californian staff writer
Alleged animal abuser Anita Gilbert, arrested in Tehachapi Wednesday, may actually be Barbara Ryan, a Hemet woman who officials say skipped out on similar animal abuse charges in Riverside County in 2006.
Pets rescued from nightmarish conditions; corpses found in freezer
Or Barbara Ryan may be just another alias for the woman.
Rita Gutierrez, field services commander for the Riverside County Department of Animal Services, said she is 100 percent certain Ryan and Gilbert are the same person. And in another twist, some of the animals seized in Kern were the same animals seized from her in Riverside County.
Kern County Animal Control officers raided a home on Bear Valley Road on Wednesday and discovered Gilbert living in “deplorable” conditions with 15 dogs, 37 cats and 14 animal corpses.
Kern County Senior Animal Control Officer Steve Eirich said Thursday that the case was one of the five worst in his 17-year career and described piles of discarded animal food cans two feet deep and feces-covered rooms buried in refuse.
During the raid, local officials found pet carriers emblazoned with Riverside animal control’s name and phone number, Gutierrez said.
They called the number.
That phone call brought Gutierrez to Mojave Friday morning, where Gilbert was scheduled to be arraigned on 41 counts of felony animal abuse.
Riverside officers walked back into the holding cells, saw Gilbert and knew they’d finally found the woman who’d been running from them for two years.
“It’s nice to know she’s in custody right now and she won’t be hurting any more animals,” Gutierrez said.
Riverside officers also discovered that several of the animals taken from Tehachapi on Wednesday are the same ones that were seized from Gilbert’s rental home in Hemet two years ago.
In a jailhouse interview Thursday, Gilbert refused to take blame for the animals’ condition.
TERRIBLE MEMORIES
Gutierrez remembers well the conditions she and other officers discovered in September 2006 when code enforcers called them to rescue pets from a Hemet home Gilbert was renting under the Ryan name.
Immaculate on the outside, the home’s inside was filled with trash and feces and the floor was soaked in urine.
“Urine from the floor had wicked up into the walls. The drywall was disintegrating,” Gutierrez said.
The home and the animals were infested with *censored*roaches and fleas and covered in dried feces. Riverside animal control officers rescued 15 dogs, 23 cats and several cages of mice.
Then they came back for Gilbert with an arrest warrant.
“We went to arrest her and she was gone,” Gutierrez said.
ANIMALS RETURNED
Currently animal control officers from both counties are looking into how animals from Hemet made their way back into Gilbert’s hands in Tehachapi nearly two years later.
The link may be a woman named Susan Marlowe.
John Welsh, public information officer for Riverside animal services, said all of Gilbert’s animals were released to Marlowe after they were rescued from Hemet in September 2006.
Two months later, according to documents filed with the Kern County recorder’s office, Marlowe took out a loan to purchase property at 24492 Bear Valley Road.
Price confirmed that the address was being rented by Gilbert and was the location Kern County animal officers raided Wednesday. It is where they found the animals that Riverside officials say they put into Marlowe’s care in 2006.
Calls to Marlowe’s business offices in Beverly Hills were not returned.
Susan Marlowe, CPA, the 'rescuer' who runs this so called 'rescue and facility' has actually aided and abetted a fugitive and accused animal abuser of the worst kind, Cynthia Gudger aka Anita Gilbert, for close to 2 years until Gudger was caught living on Marlowe's property with sick animals and dead animals in the freezer. Here is an article about Ms. Marlowe's disturbing participation: A do-not-enter sign is taped to the front door of the property Anita Gilbert rented in Tehachapi after it was raided by Kern County Animal Control in mid-July. Pets rescued from nightmarish conditions; corpses found in freezer Accused animal hoarder faces similar charges in Riverside — under different name Accused abuser requests her animals be returned Accused animal abuser confronts county officials Animal hoarding: Why do they do it? Accused hoarder: 'I love the animals like they’re my children' Accused animal abuser charged with threatening lawyer Animal control workers detail findings at alleged hoarder's Links Photos of inside Gilbert's warehouse Kern County Animal Control officers were acting in the best interest of the animals when they seized 18 dogs and 33 cats from accused animal abuser Anita Gilbert, a county hearing officer has ruled. Hearing officer Brian Pitts called the officers “heroic” for fighting off nausea, headaches and dizziness plus suffering flea bites and ammonia burns to rescue the animals. Pitts also ordered Gilbert to pay just less than $60,000 for what the county spent on the one-day raid on Gilbert’s property July 16 and the subsequent board and care for the animals. The animals were found in a warehouse on Bear Valley Road where Gilbert was living. Photos of the warehouse interior showed dogs and cats kept in cages so clogged with a sludge of urine, feces and rotting food that the animals could not move. One chihuahua, officers reported, had hind legs that had atrophied from being locked in such a cage. Gilbert, who fled from a similar animal abuse case in Hemet in 2006 before she could be arrested by Riverside County animal control officers, has skipped out on the $100,000 bail she posted following her Kern County arrest in July. She has a no-bail warrant for her arrest for failing to appear in court on Aug. 21. She also faces arrest for allegedly threatening her previous public defender Craig Elkin. “We’re actively looking for her,” said Supervising Kern County Deputy District Attorney Michael Yraceburn. Gilbert’s civil attorney, Clayton Campbell, has said Gilbert is concerned about the safety of her animals while they are in the care of Kern County Animal Control. He has filed a civil lawsuit against Animal Control on Gilbert’s behalf. Pitts also released faxes from two women who signed sworn statements supporting Gilbert. Beverly Hills accountant Susan Marlowe, the owner of the home on Bear Valley Road, sent a fax to Pitts last week. Marlowe states that dog runs in the warehouse were clean and free of urine, “poop” or any other substance that would make them unclean. Kern County Animal Control officers told Pitts that the runs were cleaned up the night before their raid but the rest of the property was in “deplorable” condition. Marlowe has played a role in Gilbert’s story before. Riverside Animal Control officers said they released animals seized from Gilbert’s Hemet property to Marlowe in 2006 only to have Kern County officers find the same animals, along with the cages they were in when released to Marlowe, inside the warehouse Gilbert was living in on Bear Valley Road. The other fax was addressed from Gwen Francis of the VIVA rescue in Lompoc. It contained a declaration in which Francis offers to take all of Gilbert’s animals, putting the dogs in foster homes and the cats into either foster care or her rescue’s sanctuary. But the fax was sent to Pitts from a Staples copy center in Granada Hills, 139 miles from VIVA’s headquarters in Lompoc, and 33 miles and a different telephone area code away from Marlowe’s offices in Beverly Hills. Calls to Marlowe and Francis Tuesday afternoon were not returned.
