Lisa Loucks-Christenson Media Syndicate News

Over a decade ago, I acquired a publishing business, and a stenciled letter arrived addressed to me — but delivered to my husband’s business. The lettering was oddly spaced, deliberate in a way that tried too hard to conceal itself, and it gave the names of people involved. The more effort someone made to hide their hand, the more clearly they seemed to reveal it.

That was the first sign this was more than a business transition.

I rebuilt the company into an imprint for my own in-house work, but one book in the original catalog never left me alone. The story behind it stayed with me. It tied back to a dead sheriff, and the case had gone cold. When I got the letter, I reached out to a detective in that county, and then to others in neighboring counties too, following every lead I could find. But only one detective’s name kept getting programmed into the game player on my brand-new iPhone — over and over again, inside a game app I never added.

The game app I couldn’t delete seemed programmed to remain, and in a twist of irony, I’ve decided to turn that same app and name to my advantage now, years later, with multiple network security certificates under my belt.

I kept notes. I kept watching. And I kept following old clues.

I also wonder whether some people believe they can still reach what they once touched, but I’m not afraid. It comes down to this: I’m either following the truth, or I’m not there yet. Either way, I keep going until the truth tells me which.

As an investigative journalist, I’ve learned that unanswered questions rarely disappear. They resurface. They leave traces. They find their way back to the person willing to notice.

That’s what happened here.

I don’t know yet where every thread leads, but I know enough to keep following them. Because sometimes the paragraphs we form after the fact are the ones that can still write a new ending.

 A False Mother Entry Was Put Into My Official Record

Rochester Police Department and Olmsted County court paperwork falsely identified me as the mother of a child who is not mine. I was never properly notified or served. The officer did not verify my identity before placing my legal name under the mother section of the report.

That is an official error with consequences.

A false entry in a police report or court file can follow a person, distort future agency action, and poison the record for years. Public institutions do not get to hide behind their letterhead when the record is wrong. If they put it in writing, they own the harm it causes.

I am not accepting a false official identity. I am preserving the record, correcting the record, and pushing for accountability.

If the record is false, the institution that created it is responsible for the damage.

Pool Pond, Dragonfly Nymphs, and the Rights of Story

This story began at Pool Pond, but it also reflects a broader media practice built across writing, photography, audio, books, and visual storytelling. On November 14, 2025, I found the first dragonfly nymph in the sunlight in a few inches of water. I named that first one Pat, and before winter fully settled in, I had collected 61 nymphs from the pond. What began as a rescue effort became a larger story about observation, stewardship, memory, and the responsibility that comes with documenting the natural world.

This is the kind of work that can move across formats. A field note can become a blog post. A blog post can become a narrated segment. A photograph can become exhibit text. A firsthand observation can also become licensed content for editorial, educational, or documentary use when rights are clearly defined and intentionally managed.

My work appears across Hope River Radio, Joy & Crown, Florida Trips, Book Divas Network, Rochester Sun Times, Clean Fiction Magazine, and other outlets where I syndicate columns, comics, art exhibits, podcasts, and related media. That distribution matters because it allows the work to reach audiences in multiple forms while preserving the integrity of the original voice and reporting.

For me, the goal is to build durable media from lived experience: content that can be shared, licensed, repurposed, archived, and revisited across platforms. That is the work behind Wildly Personable™, and it is part of the larger publishing and syndication practice I continue to develop.

Licensing and syndication inquiries are welcome for blogs, podcasts, books, photo essays, exhibits, and other media forms.
