From Enpsychopedia
Doug Beckstead, aka Dog_Driver, aka DogDriver, aka Grizzly_Adams
Doug Beckstead aka Dog _Driver also known as Grizzly_Adams and many other aliases to avoid detection.
He used to be a regular member of 'The Virtual Irish Pub' chatroom, www.zingbear.com
Currently he is known to frequent several forums to lay emphasis on his intellectual interests. He uses these forums, together with his career as an historian to lure in and gain his targets trust in him. After all he is a decent guy, or so he likes to allude to others. Unfortunately he has no morals or values when it comes to conning and seducing his many unsuspecting victims.
He makes many comments on armyairforces.com and visits the forum on the daily Anchorage news and social and historical sites to name but a few.
He is currently employed by the Elmendorf Air Force base as an historian, in Anchorage, Alaska. Formally employed by the National Park Services also as an historian in Fairbanks, Alaska. Prior to that he was employed by the National Park Services in Anchorage, again as an historian.
WARNING~ This married, serial player/ sexual predator of an historian, from Alaska, was in Arlington, VA for a funeral and onto Maine for a memorial service this July 07. He attended two services for a fallen airman, who died in a B-24 plane crash in 1943. He is not to be trusted. He is a glory hunter on the make.
He is a Narcissistic Sociopath who is 50 years old, very overweight, tall, just over 6ft, with dark hair turning grey, he wears bifocals. He hides his face under a thick beard and is fond of wearing baseball caps. He collects these off of his targets, he makes a point of telling you he likes to collect them.
He is MARRIED (he HIDES this until he gains your trust and gets what he wants from you). This was easy for him to do whilst living in Fairbanks, he lived there alone whilst his wife and family remained living in the family home in Anchorage.
He (like all predators) takes a special interest at seeking out and targeting vulnerable women in troubled marriages or relationships online. He PRETENDS to give a damn... WARNING, if you think you have troubles now, they will only become worse with this predator in your life.
Likes to play 'mr fix it man'. Beckstead is not interested in being your friend, he has ulterior motives. If you fail to comply, he then tires of you, that is when he starts playing his cruel head games. He is into mirroring your likes and dislikes in the beginning (all part of his game).
Be WARNED
This will slowly turn into PROJECTION; as HE lays all the blame in your direction for the things HE has already done TO YOU, is planning to do and IS doing to you.
Doug Beckstead uses lots of sob stories concerning the "ill wife" who is according to him, "allergic to the sun", and has "many other health problems". The Wife also said, according to poor Beckstead, the day after they were married "I hope sex is not important to you".
Doug Beckstead PLAYS the martyr and the victim well. This is used as a sympathy ploy to draw you into his sick web of lies and deceit. Doug Beckstead is a classic attention seeker and glory hunter. He is the deadbeat father of two adult children. He is aware of this and tells you how he has "failed them", all to gain your sympathy. Often PREYS on younger, vulnerable (divorced, abused, depressed, disabled) women with young children via the internet.
He said he mingles in the local community and offers to "fix things" for you. BEWARE as it is all a charade to worm his way into your life, especially if your husband is away, or you are a woman on your own. Brags about this in great detail, even to his current target.
He then likes to project the fact that you are jealous because of this extra-curricular attention (womanizing). He has a penchant for lonely Grandmothers and their grandchildren as well. Becomes highly critical of any child who does not warm to his attention.
Showers your children with attention and gifts, too much attention (RED FLAG). Do NOT trust this man, especially near young children. He IS a sexual deviant.
Likes to play Santa at local venues during the Christmas period. He often did this whilst living in Fairbanks, Alaska. Doug Beckstead, at his own admittance, has a hidden past that connects him to at least two sexual harassment accusations held against him. One concerning a former female boss in Anchorage during 1994 and another in Eagle, Alaska concerning two young girls. He gets close to you to get close to your children.
Beckstead Believes All Women Are Just Objects
He WILL use you. He was forced to leave Anchorage some years back to live in Fairbanks because of his first sexual-harrasment offense. He abandoned his wife and children in Anchorage and thus began his double life on the prowl in Fairbanks; without them. Commuting infrequently when he could be bothered -- back to Anchorage to see his family.
Women indicated they thought the psychopath was telling the truth during the early days of the relationship. Psychopaths and “truth” are an interesting concept. Psychopaths lie so well and distort the truth easily because they don’t have a conscience about lying. They are pathological liars which means they will lie about anything even things that won’t result in negative consequences to them. Psychopaths also lie as a form of dominance. They enjoy controlling the reality of truth or not-truth that they give to women. Additionally, part of the psychopath’s pathology is his “pathological world view” which includes how he sees himself, others, and the world. His world view also dictates the issues of truth in relationship to other people. His view on truth is skewed and he may believe that truth is what he thinks it is, as opposed to hard fact. In the beginning, the psychopath appeared to be truthful, although he wasn’t. While truth is the bedrock of intimate relationships, a psychopath’s world view of a relationship does not include the concept of truth. He believes, “each person’s truth is how he or she sees it.” He tells the truth only when he is in trouble for lying and forced to. His world view of manipulating others is seen as a twisted form of “opportunity” for him. Living off of others, in his world view, is “the fortunate opportunity given to others to be around me.” Or, “there are givers and receivers and I’m just a receiver.” Sexual acting out is also not likely to be understood as a flagrant abuse in a relationship. - Sandra Brown, MA; Women Who Love Psychopaths
Late September 2006
Beckstead moved back to the family home in Anchorage, now his children are fully grown. A FULL and THOROUGH investigation into this predator's background will provide you with more evidence. He has had many prior addresses and is not a native Alaskan, he originates from the state of Utah.
He has lied to his wife. Wife Carol is now aware of his sexual misconduct towards other women, but she chooses to ignore it and or believe his lies. In recent events Carol has lied to officials to cover her husband's tracks.
Beckstead is dangerous and dishonest. He uses the internet to procure free gifts, sex, food and lodgings on his many ventures across the US. Do NOT be fooled by his charm and career (likes to use his career to gain your trust), it is all a facade for his sociopath behavior which lurks closely beneath. Do web searches on this man's NAME and read EVERY HIT!!
Projection and 'Word Salad' are this mans speciality. Doug Beckstead is a lying conman, a free loading opportunist who will take you for everything he can get out of you. He ignores you when you ask him important questions and turns VERY ANGRY if you persist on an honest answer. WE all had a right to the truth. Avoid this pervert at all costs. He likes to tell you that "EVERY woman who ever had anything negative to say about him was after him".
He will say the same thing about you once he has had his fill, or as in our case we wised up to his psychopath ways and ran while we still could. He warns you in advance by preempting that you may just find out something nasty you do not want to hear or know about him, especially if it is online, in a chat room. Sadly, it is all true.
That is why you only get part of the shocking story to begin with. It is all a sympathy lure, because to question him is according to him "to doubt him". DO ask questions, he dislikes this and it shows and later proves he has a lot to hide. There are just too many inconsistencies and excuses in this predators track record.
He is the product of an "alcoholic mother" and a "serial cheating father", drinks heavily himself and says he relies on anti-depressants to get himself through life. He often uses the clashes of his many medications and the latest health crisis as an excuse for his many "meltdowns", in the beginning. A deadly cocktail all round.
His blame on others for his out of control, sociopathic behavior which knows no bounds. Everyone is at fault, everyone else is to blame, NEVER him. He takes NO responsibility and shows no shame or remorse for his actions. Stay well away from this low life predator. He only pretends to help the vulnerable for his own gratification. His sole intention is to use you and hurt you.

Here's an excerpted email from another of Beckstead's hapless targets:
From: PXXX Date: Apr 18, 2007 4:49 PM To: xxxxxxxx@XXX.com
HI xxxxxx,
I am not sure if I plan on writing him or not. I have thought about it, just to say shame on you for hurting so many people.
I want you to know that if I had ever known that you were a part of his life, I would never have talked with him like I did. I am a very naive and trustful person, even of those on the internet and believed him to be what he claimed he was. Unfortunately I have learned that there are many people who are not as they claim to be, and the internet provides a safety net to hide behind. He obviously used this many times.
I take a small bit of responsibility for my part when Doug and I were talking. I wanted to believe what he was saying, and I knew that there was a huge risk in trusting someone who I had no real access to. But, lessons have been learned from such experiences.
Be strong for yourself and your children. Everyday will be better than the one before. If you want to tell him that I know that is up to you. I can handle him no problem. I wish that we would have talked 3 years ago and maybe this all would have had a different outcome.
Have a wonderful day. XXX

From his Target: News on Douglas Beckstead that recently came to light.
I just found out that he is already stringing along another woman and her MSN display name is "kittenXXX" with her nickname being "TrishXXX".
I have not contacted her, as much as I would love to be the whistle blower, she probably would not believe me just yet. There are no other details on her that I can find, but he has listed her as his only "friend" on spaces live and vice versa, she with him. Almost advertising the fact I would say. I don't know what made me check his space, but i decided to do so last night. (surprise! NOT)
He recently contacted me again and sent an ecard of a rather weak apology for "the craziness of the past few months".
He then played the sympathy card again stating that both he and his family had been down, or rather were down with influenza type A (the pandemic variety), I almost believed it too.
I had hoped to resolve our differences and put an end to all the bitterness that has transpired. More fool me. His games continue.
Let's see what sort of 'cover stories' Beckstead tries to fling at this target now:

Hi!
This was not a good weekend for me. I thought whatever it was that knocked me down for the previous two was trying to come back. I've been coughing to the point of almost fainting. Not fun. (aaaawwwww)
I don't have a clue who kittenXXX and TrishXXX are. Please don't start making something out of something that isn't there.
I'm sorry that I didn't respond immediately. We were on the way out the door when I started the computer up and I had every intention of responding when I got home. We're playing "bus driver" for the kids with their jobs and sometimes I like to go pick them up just to shop around their stores for a little while. (so you are THAT sick, but you are running around with the kids - your ADULT children?)
Has the doctor given you anything else to help out with your flu/asthma? It sounds like whatever they've given you isn't working very well. I sure hope you get on the mend really soon! (wow, he actually acknowledges this target for once. Probably to try to reel her back in yet again... throw her a crumb of attention)
One of the other historians at the office is moving on Saturday. XXX and I are going to help her. Should be pretty easy as she has virtually no furniture. I expect it won't take more than an couple of hours. (now he's deathly sick but he's helping someone move... right?)
I hope you're feeling better!!! (he hopes you believe his b.s.)
hugs!
Doug

Second response sent from Beckstead to his Target. Here he is frantically trying to cover his lies further now, as he knows that I know he would have had to have accepted her invitation and vice-versa. Does he ever give up and just tell the truth? No.
As for the "Aviator" guy, no he is not on his list, he never had an excuse for that though.
Notice how "sick" he always seems to be, always has to out do everyone at everything.
From: Doug Beckstead Subject: RE: Hi Date: Mon, 26 Mar 2007 20:16:45 -0800
Hi!
Boy, you sound like you are having as bad a go of it as we have had up here on our end of the world. (set up...)
As for the XXXXX and MSN space, I don't use MSN space. Someone sent me a message about adding me to theirs a long time ago and I probably set it up then. the only "kitten" person I can think of would have been that woman who went by Kitty at the VIP. There was also someone there a long time ago who's name was Trisha. I don't remember what her "stage name" was. (never his fault is it? this is a total lie and the second time he wrote about Target's questioning him - because he knows she's nailed him and like any good cyberpath he's determined to keep at it until she believes him. If she doesn't - he'll go on the smear attack like they all do)
If you saw the list, you'll probably also see someone called "Aviator" he's a buddy of mine from my college days. Aviator and I share e-mails a lot. As for the others, I wouldn't even know how to get into whatever MSN is using for IM stuff these days. XXX just changed their whole look and I'm still working on trying to figure it out. (he's just soooo confused!! lol)
XXX and I went out to dinner tonight (the kids are all working). Something didn't go right. I came in the door from the car, walked straight to the bathroom and up came everything I ate. Not fun. Even being sick didn't cause me to do that. (poor Doug poor poor Doug... LOL!)
Cheers!
Me
