EXPOSING JEFFREY LAMBRECHT
WISCONSIN
THE ABUSE AND DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AT THE HANDS OF JEFFREY LAMBRECHT
Jeffrey Lambrecht called the police April 27, 2023, after being divorced for TWELVE YEARS, to claim that his ADULT SONS had been taken by their mother to a cult in Florida. He joined in with the other abusers named on this website to create this “cult” narrative which has not worked in a single court, yet they still continue to use it to DEFLECT from their abuses.
Here is what Jeffrey Lambrecht’s ADULT SONS - two of whom attend Universities out of state - texted their father when they found out about his latest abusive stunt to harm both his mother and myself.
My ex-husband, Jeffrey Lambrecht, and his wife, Marie Lambrecht, have decided to collude with a group of abusers and slander my mentor, my teacher, my friend, Liana Shanti.
I left Jeffrey, 12 YEARS ago, BEFORE I even knew Liana.
Now 12 years later, he has decided to try to once again harm me, my children, and now Liana, a woman he knows NOTHING about.
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.
Here is the real Jeffrey Lambrecht.
My name is Cahira Noelani. That is my legal name. I am formerly known as Laura Lambrecht. You will see both names used throughout this letter.
I am a Journeyman Tool & Die Designer. I worked in tool & die for 5 years designing plastic injection molds. I also had my own business as a contract designer in mechanical engineering, designing automotive equipment for 11 years, until I switched paths and decided to become an HMI health coach. I have been an HMI holistic health coach for the past 9 years and am also the Admissions Director for HMI Nutrition School.
My ex-husband is Jeffrey Lambrecht. We have four children: Javan – 21, Payton – 19, Joah -18, and T. – 15.
I HAVE BEEN SEPARATED/DIVORCED FROM JEFFREY SINCE 2011, BEFORE I KNEW LIANA.
My Parents Raised me in an Extremist Religious Cult
I grew up in an extremist religious cult that expected women to get married young, use no birth control, and have as many babies as possible. All while obeying their husband and allowing the husband to make all of their decisions, no matter how awful he was. They did not allow divorce no matter how awful the situation. Women stayed in marriages even with extreme physical, emotional, and psychological abuse. Women stayed with their husbands even after they went to prison as convicted pedophiles.
MY ENTIRE FAMILY DISOWNED ME in 2011 BEFORE I MET LIANA WHEN I DECIDED TO LEAVE MY HUSBAND.
They harassed me and threatened me. They called anyone who associated with me and defamed and slandered me, trying to cut off all my support. They tried to take away all of my money and all of my support so that they could control me as a 32 year old adult woman with four young children. All because I refused to stay married to a man who was emotionally abusive and became physically violent and started a new relationship.
Recently, Jeffrey has been colluding with a group of ex-husbands,
several who have been arrested for domestic violence,
several, including my ex-husband, served with multi-year restraining orders (my husband’s was four years),
who have made death threats to Liana and other women in our community,
have colluded with men who engage in “brainwashing” people to renounce their spiritual beliefs, including:
Rick Alan Ross a convicted felony kidnapper,
Anton Hein a convicted child molester currently on a fugitive warrant in Amsterdam, and
Joe Szimhart who it has been documented in court affidavits has used military style brainwashing techniques, threatening to put people in an insane asylum if they don’t renounce Buddhism.
The ONLY reason they are doing this is to retaliate against their ex-wives who are refusing to tolerate their abuse any longer and to silence their ex-partners from exposing their abuse.
THESE are the people Jeffrey and Marie are colluding with!
Please hear our stories.
The stories of the women and children who are the victims suffering from the continuous harassment by our ex-husbands.
We are the reason these men are attacking Liana.
She has literally done nothing to these people.
Many of them she doesn’t even know who they are until they send her death or rape threats.
They hate us, their ex-wives, and they are taking out their anger on anyone who supports us, including Liana.
Liana doesn’t tear families apart, that’s not even possible.
40 to 50% of marriages in the United States end in divorce in the United States, this is not uncommon. People grow apart, people grow in different directions, one person’s needs aren’t being met, one partner starts to value themselves and won’t tolerate poor treatment anymore.
For this hate group to say that their ex-wives and family members are being coerced or brainwashed into leaving relationships is insulting.
We are intelligent women who are more than capable of making our own decisions. No, we are no longer letting certain family members or ex-partners control us, and unfortunately some people become crazed instead of simply respecting their partner’s sovereign choice to move on.
Besides how insulting it is to say that we as adult, educated, intelligent women can’t make our own choice to leave a relationship, Liana NEVER tells people what to do, and she NEVER tells people to leave relationships.
I have been part of Liana’s communities for 11 years and NOT once has she ever told me, nor have I ever seen her tell anyone else to leave a relationship. She makes it a point not to do that, because that is something each person has to decide for themselves.
Liana also NEVER tells people to break custody agreements, EVER.
She is always encouraging people to follow the law and to document everything, so that you can create change legally, if needed. You will see in my documentation below how I did just that. I documented everything and took action with my legal rights to create the best childhood for my children.
Choosing to divorce my husband was the best decision I made for myself and for our children. Of course, it was painful in the beginning, but today my kids thank me for divorcing their father. It could have been much much less painful, if their father had simply prioritized our children’s needs instead of focusing so much on retaliation.
Sadly, we have now been separated for 12 years and here he is attacking us yet again through this hate group. But now, it’s not just me, it’s also Liana. That is simply a disgustingly cowardly act. Our sons, who are now young men, are furious that their father would attack any woman, much less an innocent woman he doesn’t even know, someone who has been nothing but kind to his children and blame her for his relationship failures. Even our teenage boys can see how utterly wrong this is.
Thankfully, I left their father when they were young and raised them to respect women and to never think they are entitled to another human being or a certain relationship. My sons respect a woman’s right to leave them.
For Jeffrey to state that he knows anything about me, my life, the reasons for my choices, or my personal or religious beliefs is a BLATANT LIE.
We have not been together for 12 years. We have been separated longer than we were together. We do not talk, and he does not know anything about me or my life. He knows very little about our children or their lives other than the big things that everyone knows such as what college they are attending. Jeffrey is essentially stalking strangers (Liana and me) on Instagram and then stating as fact that he knows us. BLATANT LIES. The things Jeffrey states about Liana and her programs are also BLATANT LIES. He hasn’t done any of her programs, it’s obvious, because his lies don’t even make sense lol
We are women and moms who just want to live in peace and raise our children in peace. We do not want to fight with our ex-husbands. We are not trying to take our kids away from them. We have hoped for years that they would be good fathers. When they have become violent, we’ve done what we could do legally to keep ourselves and our children safe. But always hoping they would step up and take responsibility for their actions and become the fathers our kids needed. Sadly, in many cases of domestic violence that day never comes.
So, we do everything in our power to give our children the absolute best childhood possible while trying to parallel parent with men who would rather invest countless hours and resources harassing our friend, teacher, and victim advocate, Liana Shanti, than attend an anger management class or self-reflect with a therapist to examine their own shortcomings in regards to their relationship with their children.
Here is a summary of my tumultuous relationship with Jeffrey for the last 12 years. Our relationship wasn’t great for several years before then either, because people don’t get divorced because they are happy.
As you can see, our relationship problems started LONG before I knew Liana and have absolutely NOTHING to do with Liana.
I escaped from my husband on November 4, 2011, almost a year BEFORE I met Liana.
Yes, I literally had to take my kids and flee. I was extremely fearful for our safety. I recently shared this experience publicly for the first time. I’ve shared it with counselors and close friends over the years, as well as with my local domestic violence shelter and the police who I was in contact with as I escaped him.
Here is what happened when I tried to amicably leave my husband. It was one of The scariest and I believe one of the two most dangerous times in our lives.
The months leading up to escaping were so scary. My then husband, Jeff Lambrecht, was so angry, and it was escalating. My journal is full of notes so worried about how he would react when I actually left him. I had always tried to keep him calm, because he was scary when he was angry. I knew that leaving was going to be dangerous.
I told him a couple weeks earlier that I was going to leave, but then secretly made all the arrangements because he would become so enraged when I tried to discuss it. I was so terrified of what he would do that I slept in the guest bedroom with the door locked, fully clothed, and with all my important papers and apartment listings under my pillow.
One of the days when I tried to discuss that I was leaving, Jeff became so angry with me. I was sitting on my kitchen floor with my knees pulled up to my chest in a ball, while he screamed at me. He puffed out his chest and towered over me with his fists clenched. He screamed and said horrible things to me. He punched the walls around me and was breathing heavily and extremely intimidating. I was terrified. I wanted to leave, but couldn’t because all 4 of our young children were sleeping upstairs. Our children at this time were ages 3, 6, 8, and 9 years old. I remember sitting on my kitchen floor thinking if he hit me, I could call the police. At the time I didn’t realize this was already domestic violence and I could have called the police. I thought I had to wait for him to hit me. I dared not say a word to him or I believed he would hit me. For several minutes I thought about should I say something to him, so he does hit me, and I can call the police and get out. But I was so scared to let him hit me, so I sat there, curled in a ball, and said nothing until he exhausted himself screaming at me.
Tuesday, November 1, 2011, I told Jeff that I found a place and would be moving Saturday to the next town. I told him I didn’t want to fight him. I said, let’s agree and just divide everything evenly, joint everything even with the kids. He said NO. He was furious, screaming, and so angry. He refused to discuss anything.
Wednesday, November 2, 2011, he told me you can’t leave. I’m not letting you leave.
I tried to keep the situation from escalating. I told him in a flat, emotionless voice, “I am allowed to leave you. I am an adult, and this is America.”
He kept getting angrier and angrier. Then he told me fine, you can leave, but you can’t take the kids or a single thing out of the house. Knowing I would never ever leave my 4 babies. He had also emptied our bank accounts, so I wouldn't have money to buy what I needed if I left with nothing.
Thursday, November 3, 2011, he smirked at me with the most evil look I had ever seen on his face and said your dad and all 6 of your (adult) brothers are going to come on Saturday, and we won’t let you leave.
I now know this is considered FALSE IMPRISONMENT!!!
Jeff Lambrecht told me that he and my dad (who was a leader in an extremist religious cult) were going to physically prevent me from leaving him!
I was a 32 year old woman living in the United States being told that 7 adult men in my extremist religious cult family AND my husband would physically NOT allow me to leave my husband or take my children with me to move 12 minutes away!!
I called my attorney, and he said leave on Friday instead. So, my kids and I escaped on Friday instead.
Friday, November 4, 2011, the most terrifying day of my life up until that point. Sadly, more violence would continue to happen in the years following.
On Friday, I had to pretend I wasn’t moving on Saturday. I couldn’t let Jeff know or it would be too dangerous. I stayed in my pajamas and drank my coffee staring at an engine block on my computer pretending to work.
Jeff was smug and seemed pleased that he had threatened me into not leaving. He left for work. I waited for 30 minutes to make sure he wasn’t coming back. I wake up my kids and tell them they are going to visit a friend. They are so excited to play with their new friends. I took them to the one woman I could trust; she had escaped an abusive husband a few years earlier, and understood without me saying a word.
I picked up a small Uhaul truck and hid my vehicle in the back of the parking lot hoping no one would notice it if they drove by. My heart was pounding as I drove back to the house. I called my lawyer and told him I’m going to try to leave today. I asked what happens if he comes back home while I’m in the middle of leaving and tries to stop me or calls the cops on me?
My attorney told me that the cops don’t want to get involved in these situations, so whatever you can get on the truck before he gets home, you can keep. After that, you will have to wait until we go to court and get a court order to divide everything up. My then husband, Jeffrey Lambrecht, had emptied our bank accounts and told me that MY DAD, Mike Schneider, had advised him to “make sure she doesn’t get a penny”. I knew I wouldn’t be able to afford to replace anything I didn’t get out of the house today.
I called 3 people who were waiting nearby and told them we were a go. My grandparents and one friend who lived 2 hours away were the only people who were still in my life that I trusted. They met me at the house, and I said we have to go as fast as we can and start with the most important things first. Nothing was packed because I couldn’t look like I had been packing.
I had a box of garbage bags. I handed them to my grandmother and said throw all the kids’ clothes in there. I dumped my kids’ dresser drawers into garbage bags and literally ran them to the truck. My grandfather and my friend I instructed to get the kids’ beds.
Once the beds were on the truck, I said I need dishes. We quickly wrapped stacks of plates in bath towels and put them in laundry baskets and ran them to the truck. Toyboxes, laundry baskets, garbage cans became “boxes”. We threw kitchen things into them and ran them to the truck.
They asked what’s next. I said my computer! I need to work! I ripped the cords out of the outlets, didn’t even shut down the desktop, grabbed armfuls of computer equipment and threw them in the backseat of a car.
The entire time my heart was pounding, and I’m thinking how am I this woman? How am I literally fleeing for my life and my safety? How does this happen to a regular middle class woman in a small Midwestern town in the United States?
All of us were moving as fast as we could. No one was talking. It was so scary. I had no idea what would happen if Jeff showed up. Would he hurt my grandparents and my friend who were helping me? Was it dangerous for them that I asked them to help me? Would I have enough things on the truck to take care of my kids until we could get a court hearing?
In 3 hours, I managed to get everything I needed for my kids and me to start over into a Uhaul truck. We took one trip. That was it. I remember thinking it used to take me a couple months to pack and move, now I just did it all in 3 hours.
EVEN then I left over 50% of the value in the house.
I made sure to only take the things my kids and I actually needed, but I left all Jeffrey’s tools and the most expensive furniture. Even in fleeing from him, I tried to still be fair.
As soon as I got to my new home, I called my attorney and told him we had escaped and were at my new home. I then called the police and told them where we were in case Jeff called and said I kidnapped our children. Sure enough he did.
I was still so terrified that night and in the middle of the night I heard someone trying to enter my new home. I called 911 and the police came right away. When they arrived, they didn’t find anyone, but said they would have extra patrols around my house knowing that I was fearful of my ex-husband.
The next day, Jeff was threatening me and demanding to see our kids. I called the police and told them that I didn’t want to withhold the kids from Jeff, I wanted him to see they were okay, but I was afraid of him. The police officer screamed on the phone at Jeff telling him that “she left you and you are going to have to deal with that”. He arranged for us to meet at a McDonald’s playground. He told Jeff that if he caused any problems, he would arrest him.
On March 21, 2015, Jeffrey Lambrecht became violent in my new home when he was there to pick up our children for his weekend. He kicked and punched and hit things in my home while I tried to get him outside. Then he smashed his elbow into the window of my vehicle, shattering glass everywhere. Our four children were present. They were completely traumatized, as was I.
Liana was an incredible support to me and my children, during this time. She was so kind and caring. She helped connect me with domestic violence advocates, therapists, and safety resources in my area. She showed me and my children so much love.
I was granted a TRO and on April 8, 2015, a 4 year domestic abuse restraining order from Jeffrey Lambrecht.
And although the courts agreed that I was in danger from Jeff, they said they would not protect my kids from him, not even temporarily, while he was served with the TRO.
So, at the advice of the therapists and domestic violence advocates, while also notifying the police and my attorney where I was going, my kids and I went into hiding for a week while we waited for the injunction hearing.
Twenty minutes after the injunction was granted, Jeffrey broke the restraining order by following me into a parking lot. My friend called the police, and Jeffrey was immediately arrested.
Since I couldn't legally keep my kids away from Jeff, the therapists and the domestic violence advocates had us come up with code words my kids would text me if they were scared or needed help.
My daughter came to me with an entire page she had written. My daughter's code words are so heartbreaking. I never submitted this in any court documentation or the police report because it would have been dangerous if he found out we had safety words.
As you can see in the text messages immediately following this incident, Jeffrey still refused to take responsibility for his actions. All four of my kids and I spent months in therapy after this incident. To my knowledge, Jeffrey never went to counseling, even when one of our kids' therapists recommended it, because "he didn't have a problem."
My car window, Jeffrey Lambrecht broke in a fit of rage with all 4 of our children present.

I was Granted a 4 Year Domestic Violence Restraining Order against Jeffrey Lambrecht
Our 7-year-old daughter’s code words she came up with to text me when she was scared at Jeffrey Lambrecht’s home.
My kids were so scared of Jeff, especially after this incident. As you will read in their letters, the day he smashed the window in front of them changed everything for them. They were so scared to make him angry because they were fearful he would hurt them if he did. It was heartbreaking to watch as a mother and not know how to protect your children.
In 2015, I continued to try to co-parent with Jeff, but it wasn’t working. My kids were suffering, and Jeff refused to communicate with me.
During our entire marriage and the first several years of our divorce, I handled 95% of all of our children’s needs and made all of the decisions for their care. That was the way it had been the entire time we were married too. Jeff was never interested in being involved in decision making or every day care for them.
Until 2015, when I wanted to start homeschooling our children again. I had homeschooled them when we were married, then put them in public school for three years during our divorce. My kids all wanted to be homeschooled and when I messaged Jeff about it, he didn’t reply. So, I went ahead with it. I did NOT know that Jeff had a problem with it until he served me with contempt of court papers.
For the next year, in an attempt to not be in contempt of court, I tried desperately to work with him, to communicate with him, to co-parent with him. He absolutely refused to discuss anything related to our children’s needs and often wouldn’t even reply to me.
From September 2015 through February 2016, I sent Jeff 16 emails via OFW asking him to discuss very important issues regarding decisions for our kids' schooling AND other important matters regarding our children.
Jeff either DID NOT REPLY to my messages or would reply and REFUSE to discuss these topics with me.
Our children were really suffering emotionally and physically. Jeff was neglecting them while they were in his care and often left them alone in dangerous situations.
You can see my many messages to the guardian ad litem, trying desperately to find a legal solution, even asking her for advice on how to co-parent with Jeff.
I am literally begging her to let me take care of my kids and to give them the best childhood possible. I even came up with a proposal so the kids could still spend the same amount of waking hours with Jeff on his evenings, but then I would pick them up at 9 pm, bring them back to my home, so they could eat, shower, sleep, and have a peaceful start to their day. I was willing to do all of this just to provide the stability and safety my kids desperately needed!
When my son’s counselor diagnosed him with ADHD and approved trying a dietary approach, Jeff would not even discuss it with me.
After many unanswered emails to Jeffrey, I try again, even titling my email: Peaceful Request
Jeff’s response to my Peaceful Request Email, absolutely refusing to discuss huge issues regarding our children. He also blames me for the restraining order.
Another desperate attempt to discuss an important topic with Jeffrey. I’m begging him to listen to our children. I told him I want to hear his opinion. “Please consider working with me, so we can give our kids the best possible lives we can including their education.”
Despite 16 requests to have a parenting discussion with Jeffrey, he refused and demanded our kids return to public school, in the middle of the year AGAINST THEIR WISHES.
They were devastated. Jeffrey refused to even ask them about what they wanted, and he refused to listen to me when I tried to discuss it with him.
Because it had only been less than a year since he smashed our window, my kids were very scared to make him angry. They often told me they couldn’t tell Jeff how they felt, because they were scared to make him angry. When he gets angry, he can be very violent.
