According to news reports Gary Shawkey was arrested in NJ for passing a bad check but it has come out he is now facing Murder with Special Circumstances in California for killing a potential long term investor of his. This charge could send Shawkey to be Scott Peterson's roommate on Death Row at San Quentin. This could be the ultimate justice for a man who was responsible for at least one previous suicide caused by his actions. Rot in Hell Gary Shawkey PS He bilked me out of a few thousand dollars back in 2004 so this guy frying aint gonna hurt my feelings one bit http://www.nbclosangeles.com/topics/?topic=Gary+Shawkey

Dear members... We felt compelled to provide accurate and updated details about Gary Shawkey and request that you no longer link him with the name Deer Valley as he has no ownership, affiliation, or connection whatsoever dating back to 2005 when the DVC property in OH was sold. The new owner of DVC in OH purchased the property and the rights to the Deer Valley Camp & Retreat names without any knowledge of Gary Shawkey's internet related misrepresentations of what appears to be a pyramid scheme of some sort. Deer Valley Resort in Colorado...is one of the highest rated resorts in the US and is also not at all related to Mr. Shawkey. DVC in Ohio is not at all related to Mr. Shawkey since the property and camp was purchased in 2005. The property was actually purchased through the title holders which was a religious organization that Mr. Shawkey was financing the lease purchase. Apparently Mr. Gary Shawkey defaulted on the mortgage payments and was about to lose the property when it was sold. We later learned of his less than admirable business dealings when we started getting calls...on the camp line from creditors... We still get calls on our phone line at the camp from people trying to hunt down Mr. Shawkey...but we have had no contact with him since the property and DVC camp name were transferred back in 2005. His last know phone was in the 804 area code dating back to 2005. The last report from one of his unfortunate business associates/victims was dated 2004 and should be removed or amended so as to stop causing harm to the legitimate Deer Valley Camp for children and new owners operating the camp since 2005 with excellent reviews and a history of excellent camps for children in the greater cleveland area. We invite you to visit the website www.DeerValleyCamp.com to ensure that the camp is in no way connected to Mr. Shawkey dating back to 2005 when the property was purchased and a legitimate camp was established by a former health & PE teacher and Yale athletic department staff coach. Thank You for your attention to this matter.

In my statement made previously, I erroneously stated that a man from overseas lost thousands of dollars that he invested from his Church. I am not sure of my exact words right now, but what I want to correct is that this man actually invested his OWN PERsoNAL savings, with the intentions of using the monies to benefit his church. I need to clarify because I understand that there could be some legal ramifications of having used church funds to make such as investment.
