Scott Loeliger's First Wife Says Sadia
Stalked and Harassed Her

Scott Loeliger left the United States in 1982 to work as a health educator/health planner for the International Rescue Committee in Somalia. Scott spent 1982 working in a refugee camp in Somalia near the Ethiopian border, 300 miles from Mogadishu. In 1983 & 1984 Scott worked for the Somali Ministry of Health's Refugee Health Unit. In Mogadishu Scott met Sadia Loeliger.

Before he left for Somalia in 1982 Scott had married Joy Erasmus, a political refugee from South Africa. They divorced in early 1986 and Scott married Sadia Loeliger in June of the same year.  Erasmus didn't see Scott for many years but remained close to his parents. She currently resides in Broward County, Florida.

According to Erasmus, after Sadia and Scott broke up in 1990 Sadia stalked and harassed her. Erasmus says:

"In 1991 I was living in Marseilles, France with my husband. One day we got a call very early in the morning. I was shocked to find out that it was Sadia. I told her I didn't want to talk to her. She started telling me things about my ex-husband [Scott]. I told her she had no right to talk that way about Scott, and how dare she smear him to me. I told her never to call me again and I hung up. But she did call again, and it was very unpleasant having to deal with her. She only backed off after my husband, a French Foreign Legionnaire, warned her to stay away from me.

"I couldn't understand how she got my number. Later I figured it out. She had been trailing my movements when I was still living in the United States.  She went places posing as my friend in order to get information on me. She went to my old job in Napa Valley to look for me. She pretended to be my friend and got my phone number. The manager there later told me 'one of your African friends came here looking for you.' It was Sadia. She was stalking me."

Erasmus also says "Scott is not the kind of person she [Sadia] describes. Not in one instant ever in our relationship did he ever do anything to me--never. Scott would never raise a hand against a woman.
