Could federal authorities step in on the Amy Bishop case?

Revelations of fiscal wrong-doing by the Bishops may soon emerge.

Dr. Amy Bishop, PhD, in addition to being a murderer, is also a liar.

On an “Affidavit of Indigency and Order” (an affidavit is a sworn document, i.e. one that is given under oath), Amy Bishop checked the “no” box the following questions:

• Do you own anything of value (land, house, car, etc.)?

• Does your husband or wife work?

• Do you have a job or work for yourself?

• Do you or your wife receive benefits from any other source?

• Do you have any money in any bank, savings and loan, credit union or any other place including cash on hand?

Below a clear warning that “a false statement or answer to any questions in this affidavit may subject me to penalties for perjury.” is where Amy Bishop signed her name.

Own anything of value?

She, her husband, and  their four children – all whom are now residing with relatives nearby –  reside at a house on McDowell Drive which current records indicate is valued at $230,000. The southeast Huntsville house with a pool, was deeded without mortgage July 31, 2003. No mortgage was ever associated with the house until March 2009 when a $30,000 mortgage from Alabama Credit Union was obtained. The lack of mortgage at the time of deeding, in conjunction with the payment of deed fees, would indicate that at the time of sale, the purchase price of the house was paid in full. That purchase price was $190,000. They own at least one vehicle, which is the one that Bishop’s husband used to pick her up after she called for a ride after shooting her colleagues.

Husband or wife work?

Bishop’s husband also works for UAH, and as of this writing, Bishop is still employed by UAH.

Do you have a job or work for yourself?

Bishop is a UAH employee, and both are employees of their company Prodigy Biosystems.

Receive benefits from any other source?

In June 2007, Bishop and her husband were recipients of a third place $25,000 Alabama state award for their business.

Dr. Bishop was awarded a federal taxpayer funded $219,750 National Institutes of Health grant for research to be performed over the life of the grant, which is the period April 1, 2008, and ending March 31, 2011. However, public records indicate the grant’s funds were totally paid out in 2008.

Further, the business owned by Bishop and her husband, “Prodigy Biosystems” raised over $1,200,000 from the Huntsville Angel Network.

Money on hand and in financial institutions?

Anderson is getting around in their van, and doubtless has “walking around” money. They most likely have an account with Alabama Credit Union, where they obtained a $30,000 mortgage on their house.
