Silsby: Part Deux
Wow! 
**********************************************************************************
I thought I would look up Laura Silsby and see what she was doing…….
![]()
Yikes! Maybe I shouldn’t have done that…

**********************************************************************************
So, I looked up all of the posts that I did on her-18.…now 19. Here are some of the posts that I did about her (Unfortunately, a lot of internal links have disappeared from the posts. C’est la Vie):
Opinion piece about Amy Coney-Barrett
Oh Boy! The “Aftershock: A Journey of Faith to Haiti” book review
Ah Yes! The “National Remember all of the Haiti PostEarthquake Adoption Debacles Day”
Now, that you have re-acquainted yourselves with her history…
Laura Silsby has a new name!
It is now Laura Gayler.
Let’s step back and do deep dive about this entangled debacle…
So, I listened to a podcast… ( I Guess those are the only news sources we can get nowadays?)Season 1 Episode 42 The Paranaughtica Amazon Music podcast… that podcast very unfortunately lasted for 1 hr and 42minutes
… I took one for the REFORM Talk team and listened to it in its entirety…It aired on November 6, 2023
Go ahead and listen to it… [I guess they are Gen Z podcasters?
or something ?] or read the summary below:
Laura got her start in Idaho. She was the cofounder of Avenue Me. What kind of operation is this? Well, it is what started the online shopping experience. I am not kidding. Whenever you purchase something online, it all goes back to Laura Silsby…I mean Laura Gayler. Ya! Frightening! But lets back to Laura…
But who was the other cofounder? That is where this all starts…
The other cofounder was Von Hansen…. remember that name…
Avenue Me had a bit of entanglement with the retailer Avenue, therefore after a lawsuit was filed against them, they changed their name to Personal Shopper.
Laura was a very poor “businesswoman”
. Ya see, she kinda forgot and didn’t pay her employees so well. She accumulated $10,000 debt.
In 2004, she married Norman Wade Gayler. (Unfortunately, he died on September 25, 2024.) Ya see, he “used his talents to glorify Jesus with his carpentry skills. He loved Disaster Relief Ministries. He served faithfully as a volunteer who became the Salt Lake Baptist Association Disaster Relief director before being tapped to be the State Disaster Relief Director for the Utah-Idaho Southern Baptist Convention from June 2005 to September 2011.” says the article. Now when did that devastating 7.0 magnitude earthquake hit Haiti?
Ah yes, it was January 12, 2010!Hmm….
Ya see, she divorced Norman, married Terry Silsby, then divorced Terry and remarried Norman Gayler…
.. but she was a “good” Christian…..
In 2008, employees filed lawsuits against Personal Shopper because Laura “missed” paying 5 consecutive paychecks. Eight civil lawsuits were filed against Personal Shopper, even though Laura was voted “Business Woman of the Year”![]()
Then, the debacle hit Haiti. I didn’t fully realize that Haiti is physically the size of Maryland. Back in 2010, there were 9.8 million people living on Haiti and only 5.8 million people living in Maryland. There were 760 orphanages in Haiti during the year 2010.
760. Laura honeymooned in the Dominican Republic (DR) with Terry Silsby. Apparently, she really wanted to live in the DR.
She “looked into” purchased some land in the DR and even said there was an orphanage there. . . [That was one big ol’ fat lie that she purchased land there . There certainly was not an orphanage there either… I think that one of the 10 commandments is “You shall not give false testimony against your neighbor”? or something? I think that means “Don’t lie’? Maybe? Ya.. I think it does…]…. but she is a “good” Christian…you know the rest of the story…where she tried to abduct 40 children from Haiti then went back to try to abduct 33 children from Haiti…yada…yada…yada…
Now, let’s fast forward ahead til after the Haiti debacle...
After the debacle, Laura Silsby was hired by none of than…Alert Sense. I kid you not!
What is Alert Sense?From their website “We’re a dedicated team based in Boise, Idaho.
Everything we build is designed to make connections easy, fast and effective.
We make connections easy.
We make ourselves available.
We continue to improve.
We believe that any business built to create and enhance connection should be just as accessible as the solutions it provides, so we offer 24/7 support.”
Huh? Is that the Nationwide Amber Alert system?Uh…ya!
They changed their name from Alert Sense to Alert Sense/Konexus or just Konexus.
You can read more about it here
Oh… I forgot to add…Remember that name that I told you not to forget…
Von Hansen? Yep.. .That is the one…scroll down to the Board of trustees at the Idaho Technology Council
“The Past Chair ITC Honorees & Founder…Von Hansen KONEXUS Chairman…”
Gee, I thought Amber Alerts were supposed to be about finding children, right?
Well, maybe, just maybe, they are about “controlling the theater” of the kidnapped children…maybe the Amber Alerts are issued for child traffickers so they can get ahead of the game!
That would be pure EVIL!
That is just
! Who knows?
