Former Dietrich "medical cosmetologist" Vanessa (Venus) Clark disputes story Dietrich has told for years.

Douglas Dietrich has repeatedly told the story of Vanessa Clark being a Veterans Administration employee who was attacked by a veteran while in her car in a VA parking lot.  Dietrich claimed an incendiary device was used to cause the vehicle to burst into flames, and Dietrich busted out windows and saved Clark's life.  This is how Dietrich claims they first met.

Dietrich also claimed that Clark (a "retired VA employee") had accessed the personal identifying information of veterans John V. Lilyea and Richard K. Cole and provided the information to Dietrich who then publicly "doxed" them on air on several occasions in July and August 2017 as retaliation for exposing his false claims of military service.

I would like to publicly express my gratitude to Ms. Clark for having the courage to set the record straight.  Dietrich has claimed that it was Clark and not VA employee Gary D States (Muskogee, OK- VBA Claims Examiner) who accessed the data and was the subject of an investigation by the VA Office of Inspector General from September to November 2017.

"A very good friend of mine for many years, Bruce, who was a Ball Player for the SF Giants years ago - was in the paper in his early 20's for SAVING A WOMAN'S LIFE who was trapped in a burning vehicle. HE RESCUED HER by breaking and kicking in the window and pulling her out - when others were useless in panic mode - not wanting to get close to the flames. This man is 6 Foot 4 and solid muscle. He was in the SF papers for this act of unselfish bravery and was called a hero. He was in his 20's at the time. Everyone called him a True Hero. He told me, "he felt, he did not do anything extraordinary, he just reacted not thinking much". 

Now, I told this story to someone (that has a radio show), who, actually started telling others that HE was the one who was the HERO in the story and had saved ME from the burning car. UNTRUE. Not so. Also he told additional BS details around the lie saying I gave him info about someone from the VA, this is so untrue and SO IMPROBABLE and IMPOSSIBLE. OMG.

I just found out about these BS twists on the story that I TOLD HIM - about my friend Bruce, the ex-Giant - who was now sick - being a hero, saving a lady from a burning car. NOTHING ELSE he, (D) fit into the story he copied - is true. He made a mistake by using my name in this story, which I just found about 2 weeks ago.

Now, I am really very insulted. Especially since the REAL HERO of this true story is now very sick. I will post his picture soon, asking everyone to offer prayers to him. A SF GIANT'S TEAM HERO. I will find the news article and post it later. Bruce has a Giants Card too.😞 Love you Bruce, please get well Soon. V."
