My name is Daniela Skov. I am from Denmark, and my fiancée Ranger Frank is deployed in Kabul Afghanistan.

I write to inform about Ranger Denton Knapp (https://www.facebook.com/ denton.knapp?fref=ts) who has used my fiancée’s life story as his own on a Facebook profile where he calls himself Knapp Hills (https://www.facebook.com/ knapp.hills.1?fref=ts). Denton Knapp is a trained Ranger and he has a leading rank in the US Army. We have confronted him how he can break the Ranger’s creed. In the army soldiers trust each other with their lives. How can Denton Knapp be allowed to lead men and women, abuse their most vulnerable life stories to chase after Danish women and so also be a high risk to the soldiers he is a commander of? They cannot trust him with their lives when he abuses their life stories behind their back. Denton Knapp is currently working at CAPE (Center for the Army Profession and Ethic) which has this facebook page https://www.facebook.com/ USACAPE?pnref=lhc.

Really scary that he can chase after Danish women and make them very distressed and confused. He has also abused two really good men: Don Moen and Ron Kenoly, worship leaders to boost his ego in the way that he has “liked” them on his false Facebook profile. The fact that he is working with ethics is scary and alarming.

Lars Skov Krøgholt, who helps me, wrote to as well Denton Knapp as to Knapp Hills on facebook as depicted below.

The next day he received an apology from Knapp Hills: “Sorry”

Earlier this year we filed a IC3 complaint (Internet Crime Complaint) from which I have taken the text below:

Daniela Skov looked up Knapp Hills' Facebook profile on July 1 2014 and saw that he was friend with Helle Dyhr. She lives in a town Viborg, a couple of hours from Kolding where Daniela Skov and I live. This is not the first time we learn of women in Denmark who are contacted by American soldiers and they never know if it is fake or real, and it gives a bad reputation to the American Army. Daniela Skov wrote this to Helle Dyhr on July 1 2014 at 9:21 Pm:

(English translation below)

"Hej Helle denne mand bruger min mands livs historie som in det er hans. Een kvinde kontaktede mig I denne uge fordi hun ku se der var noget galt og de to lige var begyndt at skrive sammen. Da hun konfronterer ham nu har Han skyndt sig at slette hende. Pas godt på dig selv ! Jeg blir vred over at han stjæler min mands identitet. Bedste hilsener Daniela

to Helle Dyhr July 30 "014 at 02.39pm :

Denton Knapp skrev "sorry" tilbage.

Mvh Daniela

sent to Helle Dyhr July 30-2014:

Kære Helle Dyhr jeg er ked af jeg lavede en fejl. Det var Knapp Hills der skrev " SORRY" da Lars Skov Krøgholt konfronterede ham med at han bruger min mands livshistorie. Det er jo en måneds tid siden, og det med at han har flere identiteter, denne Denton Knapp var så forvirrende og modbydeligt. Vi indberettede ham nu i juli måned.

Bedste hilsener

Daniela Skov

HI Helle this man is using my husbands life story as if it is his. A woman contacted me this week because she could see something was wrong and those two had just started writing together. When she confronts him now he has hurried up deleting her.

Take care! I get angry that he steals my husbands identity.

Best regards

Daniela

Hello mr we will report you US Army since you are using my husbands life story as if it is yours. Kind Regards.

Denton Knapp wrote " sorry " back"

Kind Regards Daniela

Dear Helle I am sorry I made a mistake. It was Knapp Hills who wrote "SORRY" when Lars Skov Krøgholt confronted him he is using my husbands lifestory. It is about a months ago, and that the fact he has more identities this Denton Knapp was so confusing and disgusting. We reported him now in this month of July.

Best Regards Daniela"

We send today to Helle Dyhr picture and message from Knapp Hills on July 15 12.36 Am

Kind regards Daniela Skov – with Lars Skov Krøgholt

We have written a letter to President Obama on the matter of Daniela’s fiancée Ranger Frank as presented below:

​Dear Mr. President Obama.

I plea my need as the fiancé of Ranger Frank from Florida, my husband to be.

He is deployed to Kabul, Afghanistan and we had to go through 6 months from about July 1-2014 with no possible internet and online contact. Then in December we had 2-4 days at the most where he could go online since he is working on post off in a remote place in Northern Afghanistan. He wrote me shortly before Christmas for me not to fear he was DEAD! that now he would be going to train Afghan military again for some DAYS, BUT DAYS HAVE NOW TURNED INTO 1 MONTH WITH NO SIGN OF LIFE!!!!

I live in Denmark. My biological father was an an American citizen deployed as an American soldier to Bavaria, Germany in 1960, my mother, Sieglinde Helene Anna Gutschmidt a German citizen. They were not married and she married a white American and therefore gave me up for adoption on written document in spring of 1961 and I grew up in Denmark. I have always treasured my American roots, my father is from Hawaii, and I was given the opportunity so amazing to be an exchange student. I graduated from Metro High School, Chicago in June of 1978, and I was so honored to be chosen to give speech to all the students and teachers at my High School then.

My husband to be is stationed at an Army post off in Afghanistan for his security's sake. The summer of 2014 the American Sergeant Bowe Burkdahl was released from captivity through Pentagon's intervention and so were 5 Taliban warriors and they were released to Qatar. Their release caused Taliban to pose a huge threat on American soldiers to be kidnapped according to what Ranger Downie Frank told me, so they were to dislocate base and work in post offs.

I am sure many army families and soldiers are in our shoes.

Ranger Frank was granted his retirement from US Army already in April 2014, but he was never released and given a date of departure to come home to me. I spoke to our Danish Minister of Defense, Mr. Nikolaj Wammen about our grieving and seemingly hopeless situation at an important event in my city Kolding to mark our standing with the 12 people killed at Charlie Hebdo and the 4 Jewish people and police officers also cruelly killed by terrorists!

Our Minister of Defense, Mr. Nikolaj Wammen could not help us, but he most sympathetically thanked Ranger Frank and me for our contribution to the nation of Afghanistan and G W T. Yes he then said.

I should bring my plea to the American Army. I have written them, but had no answer or help in return.

Ranger Frank, (48 years of age) has served most faithfully for 26 years in the American Army and he has been given 3 medals honoring his service!

I have had no sign of life from him now for 1 month and his close friend Mr. Lars Skov Krøgholt here in Kolding has contacted different authorities as follows. Lars Skov Krøgholt writes:

In order to reach out to Ranger Frank and Ms. Daniela Skov I have contacted Pentagon, where an answering machine gave me 3 to 4 categories, none of which were an option to talk to a person,

and Ranger Training Brigade Fort Benning where I wrote:

"Dear Sir!

I write on behalf of Daniela Skov from Kolding, Denmark. Her fiancé is Ranger Frank from Fl, he is a Ranger stationed in Kabul Afghanistan.

She has understood that the American Forces would leave Afghanistan around New Year, but she has not heard from Frank since before Christmas.

She does not know anything about his current situation. Last time she heard from him was just before Christmas where he came back to the Base after having been on an outpost for six months. He then told her that he was going to train Afghan soldiers for some days and she should not worry.

Mr.Frank was granted retirement in April last year. He has told Daniela that he could get on a flight to Denmark after his release date.

Daniela Skov is ill after surgery and she cannot understand why she has not heard from him.

As a consequence of being ill she has no strength and cannot cope with the uncertainty.

Is there any possibility to get a message out to him, or could you possibly make an inquiry as to where he is right now.

Kind regards Lars Skov Krogholt"
