Subject: Kidnapping/Murder of My Deaf Husband and CISS President

 

Dear Dr. Rogge:

 

I am a deaf spouse of Felix Shlimovich who has been a missing person since
December 11, 2005. Before his disappearance my husband was a manager of the
Russian Deaf Sports Committee and traveled to Deaflympic Games many times.

 

I do sincerely hope and pray that you, a concerned and caring citizen, will
read this very painful message of mine and do something  in finding the truth as
to what actually happened to my beloved husband.

 

Since the day of Felix’s disappearance, our family members - Samuel
Shlimovich ( Felix’s aging and ailing father ), Anatoliy Shlimovich ( Felix’s
deaf brother ) and I  have tirelessly and sleeplessly been working day and night
to locate Felix or his body.

 

Recently, on February 4, 2006,  an advertisement was published in the
popular Russian daily newspaper - MOSCOW  KOMSOMOLETS. On that newspaper
advertisement my family appealed to the Russian public for help in locating
Felix’s whereabouts and in which a monetary reward incentive was set up for this
purpose.

 

So far, there is no positive result.

 

However, my family received the following leads related to Felix’s
disappearance:

 

1)  that the persons who were involved in planning to kidnap ( and,
possibly, murder ) of Felix  were the three deaf members of the Nikolai Klimov
family: Nikolai himself, his son - Slava Klimov, his son-in-law - Yakov Frenkel,
as well as their close female friend from the USA - Donalda Ammons,

 

2) that the idea, influence and order to harm Felix came directly from
Washington, D.C., that is, from the two Gallaudet University employees - Slava
Klimov and Donalda Ammons, and

 

3) that Nikolai Klimov, as a result, decided to launch and finance the
horrific operation to eliminate Felix from his life’s  existence by hiring the
service of deaf hit persons in Moscow.

 

Please note the following facts: 1) Donalda Ammons is the current President
of the CISS and she is employed as a teacher at Gallaudet University; 2) Slava
Klimov is also an employee of Gallaudet University and since 2001 he has been
acting as an informant for Donalda Ammons in her legal case against one
prominent and outspoken deaf sports leader from New York; 3) Nikolai Klimov -
was removed as the President of the Russian Deaf Sports Committee in 2004; 4)
Yakov Frenkel was also removed as the Vice President of the Russian Sports
Committee in 2004.

 

Previously, I was aware of the facts that twice - on February 27, 2003 in
Sweden and on January 3, 2005 in Australia, respectively - at the influence and
orders of Donalda Ammons -  the local police and security agents were attempting
to arrest Felix in these respective places because Felix accused Donalda Ammons,
with the assistance of the Klimov family members, in allegedly stealing his
exclusive property - the original of his produced videofilm of the 37th CISS
Congress and 2001 Deaflympic Summer Games.

 

For such an alleged theft and by being unable to retrieve his own property
from either Donalda Ammons  or the Klimovs - father and son, Felix filed the two
separate lawsuits against these persons in Washington, D.C., and Moscow.

 

I was also aware of the two following facts that during Felix’s visit to
the campus of Gallaudet University in Washington, D.C., on March 17, 2004, Felix
was verbally abused and physically attacked by Slava Klimov there ( an incident
report was filed with the Gallaudet University  police department on that day ).
In addition, on January 12, 2005, during the Deaflympic Summer Games, at the
premises of the Melbourne Sports and Athletic Complex in Melbourne, Australia,
Jerald Jordan, the former President of the CISS, 1995 Olympic Order holder and
now a senior advisor to Donalda Ammons in the CISS, secretly met with Felix and
there Jerald Jordan vainly persuaded Felix to drop his lawsuit cases against
Ammons and her accomplices.

 

The recent court case held in Washington, D.C., on January 18, 2006, in
which Felix as a plaintiff was absent and in which both defendants Slava Klimov
and Donalda Ammons appeared, is now being dismissed because of Felix’s
non-showing  up at the court’s premises on that day.

 

It is quite unbelievably, outrageous and appalling that a
still-sitting-in-the-office President of the International Olympic Committee of
the Deaf ( CISS ) - Donalda Ammons - is being directly and indirectly implicated
in this criminal act: the kidnapping and possible murder of Felix!

 

I  write to you because the IOC has influence over the CISS and Donalda
Ammons since the IOC, as I understand, provides some financial assistance to the
CISS. I do also understand that you and your people in the IOC have a close
working relationship with Donalda Ammons.

 

Therefore, I  am now appealing to you, dear IOC President, to take
appropriate action, including using your influence in pressuring Donalda Ammons
to tell the truth and provide accurate information as to what factually happened
with Felix’s mysterious disappearance on the night of December 11, 2005.

 

Please help my family and me.

 

With Tears in Eyes,

  

Irina Im Sem Nyu Shlimovich
