The announcement of felony charges against Betty Jo Krenz, Woodworth, North Dakota for operating an adoption scam involving the baby of murder victim Savanna Greywind, is casting light on allegations against an attorney from East Grand Forks, Minnesota.
Ronald Galstad, an attorney with Galstad, Jensen, & McCann, contracts with the City of EGF to prosecute crimes on behalf of local police in district court; but may have now found himself on the other side of the law.
Timothy Charles Holmseth reported yesterday that allegations of attorney misconduct, and failing to report misconduct by another attorney, are being drafted against Galstad for failing to report his knowledge of an adoption scam involving a fellow attorney.
The complaint will be filed with the Minnesota Lawyer Professional Responsibility Board (OLPR).
The claims are extremely serious and mimick the Greywind murder/kidnapping case.
In addition to evidence showing Galstad covered up the illegal transfer of a child, Holmseth alleges Galstad possesses knowledge of court evidence and exhibits regarding industrial-level child trafficking and distribution of child pornography.
BAR violations may be only the beginning of Galstad’s legal troubles because of federal conspiracy laws.
On February 19, 2018, the East Grand Forks Police Department arrested Holmseth for allegedly publishing court records and audio files through a link below a You Tube video.
The files made available to the public on You Tube were/are public records with the 9th Minnesota District Court, and were instrumental in Holmseth obtaining a favorable ruling from Honorable Tamara Yon in December, 2017.
“Mr. Holmseth has presented a significant amount of evidence regarding his investigations. Both Parties and this Court acknowledge and agree that any order in this case which may prohibit or restrict Mr. Holmseth from conducting said investigations are hereby VACATED”
– Judge Tamara Yon / December 13, 2017

Timothy Holmseth asserts audio evidence from a Minnesota court case in Polk County, Minnesota implicates Attorney Ronald Galstad for violating rules of the Minnesota BAR Association.

Galstad asserts Holmseth, who has never been to Florida, is in violation of a ‘Repeat Violence’ court order issued in a domestic violence court in Broward County, Florida by a person he never met.
Holmseth, a former award-winning news reporter, originally obtained the audio evidence from an employee of a Florida law office during his (Holmseth’s) journalistic investigation into the kidnapping of a missing child from Florida named HaLeigh Cummings.
The audio files include recordings that literally capture a group ‘in the act’ of threatening and coercing a young single mother from Florida, Kristina Renee Prevatt; a witness in the HaLeigh Cummings kidnapping case; to surrender her baby. The meeting captured on tape features Prevatt cornered by three members of the Florida legal community and without a lawyer.
The parallels between the Krenz/Savanna Greywind case and the Kristina Prevatt case show the methods were exactly the same in both cases.
“JB said she was not going to give up her daughter for adoption, but Krenz kept “pushing and pushing” and trying to “bully” her into it,” the Herald reported.
EYE WITNESS AND PARTICIPANT ADMITS THE CHILD WAS IMPROPERLY TAKEN FROM HER MOTHER
An affidavit by William E. Staubs, a private investigator from Broward County, Florida who was present when Prevatt was coerced into doing things against her will, reveals Prevatt and her baby were targeted because false testimony regarding the HaLeigh Cummings kidnapping was being sought from Prevatt and her child was a pawn in the scheme.
Staubs said Prevatt became suicidal after her daughter was taken away from her forever.
Kidnapping, child trafficking, and child pornography are federal crimes generally investigated by the FBI. The Minneapolis FBI has jurisdiction over both Minnesota and North Dakota.
Holmseth’s detailed complaint against Galstad is being reviewed by several attorneys including Kip Fontaine, supervisor, Minnesota Public Defender’s Office.
All of the audio files have made available to Fontaine and other lawyers.
