PETITION TO ALLOW SERVICE BY PUBLICATION
COMES NOW, the Plaintiff in the above action, by her attorney, Samuel W.
Milkes, Jacobsen & Milkes, and respectfully requests of this Honorable Court that
it allow her to make service upon the Defendant by publication, pursuant to Rule
430 of the Pennsylvania Rules of Civil Procedure. In support of this Petition,
Plaintiff avers as follows:
1. On February 6, 1998, Plaintiff filed the above styled Divorce Complaint.
2. The last known address of the Defendant is the Plaintiff's residence,
where she continues to reside, at 106 North Locust Lane, Mechanicsburg,
Pennsylvania 17055.
3. The Defendant does not live at or accept mail at this address.
4. The Plaint.iff attempted service upon the Defendant by mAiling the
Complaint to 126 Mayfair Road, Hattiesburg, Mississippi 39402, a location where
one of the Defendant's creditors said he may be accepting mail.
5. Mail to this address was returned as "Attempted Not Known." A copy of
this envelope is attached as Exhibit A.
6. The Plaintiff and her counsel have inquired of postal authorities as to a
forwarding address of the Defendant but there is none.
l:,

7. The Plaintiff and her counsel have inquired of neighbors, friends,
.,
creditors and employers Il6 to the Defendant's whereabouts but none are able to
identify his location.
/:,
.,
,
8. The Plaintiff is unaware of any living relatives of the Defendant.
9. Examination of local telephone directories, voter registration records, local
tax records, and motor vehicle records all reveal expired addresses or the Plaintiff's
current address.
10. One of the averments of the Plaintiff's Divorce Complaint entitling her
.-
,
to a divorce is that the Defendant deserted her.
11. The Plaintiff has not spoken to, corresponded with, or in any way
communicated with the Defendant, his family or agents since October 1997, when
the Defendant deserted Plaintiff.
12. Before the marriage of the parties on May 22, 1997, Plaintiff was in solid
financial condition. Due to various fraudulent business activities of the Defendant
.
I
before and since the marriage date, Defendant caused Plaintiff to be significantly in
debt, to the extent that Plaintiff was forced into bankruptcy solely for the purpose
!
,
of extinguishing the business related debts incurred as a result of Defendant's
business practices.
13. Since Defendant's desertion of Plaintiff, he has taken with him, or in
some way disposed of new vehic1es,lell6ed in Plaintiff's name or the name of
business enterprises created by the Defendant.
14. The Defendant would have to be aware that if he is located, he will be
held responsible for large amounts of debt which he incurred.

avoid debt and to avoid the Plaintiff.
16. Collection on one of Defendant's creditors, Keystone
Financia1lPennsylvania National Bank, was referred to a collection agency called
Roquemore & Roquemore, Inc. In connection with this agency's efforts to collect
this debt, the agency communicated regularly with the Plaintiff, and followed leads
she WIl6 able to offer, as well as other developed leads. This agency also spoke with
individuals where the Defendant was believed to have lived at one point but was
unable to locate him.
17. The attached letter from this collection agency, Exhibit B, is a true and
correct copy of its communication to Plaintiffs counsel. The letter confirms that:
We were able to locate Ms. vernon and had numerous discussions with her.
She was very cooperative and gave us information to aid in our search for
John Dean Raffensberger. We pulled TRW traces and researched every
address available and spoke with nearbys to no avail. [W]e traced Mr.
Raffensberger from Pennsylvania to Tennessee to Florida. Had an [sic] two
different agents run addresses in Pennsylvania and Florida. Our search was
not successful.
18. At this time, Plaintiff is unaware of any further efforts which could be
made to locate the Defendant.
WHEREFORE, for the above reasons, and based upon the above efforts of
Plaintiff, her counsel, and others to locate the Defendant, Plaintiff respectfully
requests of this Honorable Court that it allow the Defendant to be served with the
Divorce Complaint by publication, in the manner proposed in the attached Order,
and that she be relieved of the obligation to serve the Defendant with any further
documents relating to this case unless the Defendant enters an appearance in this

RE: Cathleen P. Vernon vs. John D, Raffensberger
No, 98 - 765 Civil
In Divorce
Dear Mr, Milkes and Mr. Raffensberger:
By order of Court of President Judge George E. Hoffer
dated December 29, 1998, the full-time Master has been appointed
in the above referenced divorce proceedings.
A divorce complaint was filed on February 6, 1998,
raising grounds for divorce of irretrievable breakdown of the
marriage, indignities, and willful and malicious desertion, The
complaint also raised the economic claims of equitable
distribution and counsel fees and expenses,
I am directing counsel for Cathleen P. Vernon and Mr.
Raffensberger, who is apparently unrepresented, to each file a
pre-trial statement in accordance with P.R,C.P, 1920,33(b) on or
before Monday, February 1, 1999, Upon receipt of the pre-trial
statements, I will immediately schedule a pre-hearing conference
with counsel and with Mr. Raffensberger to discuss the issues
and, if necessary, schedule a hearing.
I am sending this letter to the last known address which
we have for Mr, Raffensberger. It does not appear, however,
that he will receive the notice of the filing of pre-trial
statements because apparently the address that he has been using
is no longer an address where he is getting mail. If Mr, Milkes
determines that we need to proceed with the scheduling of a
hearing on the alternative grounds for divorce of willful and
malicious desertion or indignitiesr he should so advise and then
.
Mr, Milkes and Mr. Raffensberger
12 January 1999
Page 2
we can request that Mr. Milkes give notice of the hearing by
PUblication which apparently has had to occur with respect to
the service of the complaint,
Mr, Milkes ShOUld determine whether or not he wants to
proceed on fault grounds since within nine months the parties
will have been separated for a period in eXcess of two years and
he can publish the affidavit under Section 3301(d) and he can
obtain his divorce under that prOvision of the divorce code.
I will await Mr, Milkes' comments on how we shOUld
proceed in the event that we are unable to notify Mr.
Raffensberger of directives and hearing dates in this case,
Very truly yours,

Pursuant to Rule 1920,33 (a) and (b) of the Pennsylvania Rules of Civil
Procedure, Plaintiff f1les the following inventory, Additionally, Defendant f1les the
following pre-hearing statement,
The parties were married for a very brief period of time before the Defendant
abandoned the Plaintiff and his whereabouts remain unknown, Service of the Divorce
Complaint was made by publication, The Plaintiff Il6serts there is no marital property
to be distributed, To the extent there are marital debts, most of Plaintiffs obligations
relating to the marriage have been discharged through a bankruptcy proceeding,
The Plaintiff and Defendant were married on May 22, 1997, at Hagerstown,
Maryland, During the course of the marriage, the Defendant caused the Plaintiff to
become personally liable on various debts incurred by Defendant, relating to
Defendant's individual and corporate business activities, Without notice, the
Defendant left the marital residence in September 1997, leaving Plaintiff liable for
various debts, and leaving her to defend against various legal proceedings for debts
which wcrc not of hcr making, Sincc thc scparation of thc partics, thc Dcfcndant has
failed to contact the Plaintiff or to makc his whcrcabouts known, '1'0 datc, Plaintiff
is unawarc of his place of rcsidcncc,
During the marriage, thc Defcndant induccd Plaintiff to providc for Dcfcndant
in various financial ways, by misrepresenting his own background and financial status,
and by misrepresenting his intentions regarding the marriage itself,
Plaintiff contends that the Defendant has offered such indignities to her as to
render her condition intolerable and life burdensome, and she seeks a fault divorce,
Additionally, Plaintiff contends the Defendant has committed willful and
malicious desertion and absence from the habitation of the innocent and injured
spouse, without reasonable cause, justifying a fault dissolution of the marriage.
Plaintiff also contends that the Defendant induced Plaintiff into this marriage
by misrepresenting to her his history of prior marriages, and by failing to reveal to the
Plaintiff how many times he had been married prior to this marriage, also justifying
a fault dissolution of the marriage,
The parties incurred to various marital debts, mostly at Defendant's initiative,
and often without Plaintiffs knowledge, which are subject to equitable distribution
between them as marital debts, While most of Plaintiffs obligations have been
discharged in bankruptcy, to the extent they were not, and to the extent Plaintiff
incurred the costs of a bankruptcy proceeding, Plaintiff seeks an award of equitable
distribution from the Defendant,
All property now in Plaintiffs possession should be distributed to Plaintiff.
Plaintiff is not in a financial position to meet the costs and expenses of
