Lynn Craig — Resident, Alexandria VA
Posted to: Nextdoor — Old Town Alexandria

Lynn Craig is a woman I had encountered perhaps four times across the span of twenty years. We had no relationship. No friendship. No history of any significance.

In 2022, I returned to Alexandria to save my mother’s life. I was in the process of registering my mother for palliative care. Lynn Craig — who had quietly inserted herself into my father’s circle while I was away — was actively pushing a narrative that I was a violent alcoholic. This was an absolute lie. It was the narrative my father had been telling everyone to justify what came next.

What came next was June 2022. Lynn Craig, Dr. Scott Leaf, and my father coordinated a setup. They entered the house together. The police were already positioned nearby. They claimed to witness me attack my father. They demanded a restraining order.

Lynn Craig was not a concerned friend. She was not family. She was a near-stranger with a role to play — and quite possibly a promise of remuneration to play it.

The restraining order that followed contained a specific provision: I was forbidden from contacting Lynn Craig’s adoptive daughter — who was jailed in Massachusetts at the time.

Ask yourself why that clause was necessary.

I had told Lynn Craig directly, in 2022, that I suspected what had happened to that daughter. That I suspected abuse. That I would expose her.

I was removed from Alexandria — while registering my dying mother for palliative care — because I knew too much. The violent alcoholic narrative, the staged setup, the restraining order: none of it was about protecting my father. It was about silencing me before I could talk.

That is Lynn Craig. That is why she got involved. That is why she went as far as she did.
