Private Investigator Report: The David Volpe Timeline
This detailed timeline was obtained by a Private Investigator from David Volpe and outlines crucial events surrounding Wendy's Trust, Power of Attorney assignments, and legal battles. It clarifies how misinformation and abuse of influence may have shaped the narrative around Wendy's estate and mental health. We are publishing this so that the public can better understand the context and determine the truth for themselves.
💔 A Story of Trust Betrayed
The Human Toll of Legal Abuse
What began as a trusted professional relationship between Wendy Wolfenden and her financial advisor David Volpe
descended into a years-long legal tragedy triggered by one individual: Mary Dahl. Wendy, a sharp and independent
woman in her late 70's, had appointed Mary as her Power of Attorney during a surgery recovery in 2016. But when she no
longer needed Mary’s help, she lawfully removed her. Mary retaliated—first with a lawsuit using outdated Trust
documents, then with false claims to the police.
David Volpe inherited Wendy as a client in 2014 after a retiring financial advisor passed her account to him. He
helped her update her trust through attorney Robyn Interpreter and supported her in every way. He fed her dog,
Mama, sometimes driving from Gilbert to Scottsdale twice a day to administer medicine. This was never a business
transaction — it was love and loyalty.
Joel Sauceda was introduced to Wendy through David. A tech entrepreneur and artist, Joel was building a startup
Wendy chose to support by purchasing 10% equity. They became close friends. She once picked Joel up from the
airport when David was unavailable, even taking him to the hotel after an emergency tooth extraction. She brought
Mama along and joined him for a beer, a small act of kindness that said everything about their bond.
On another day, she and Joel worked together to fix a shower in one of her rental homes. Wendy was far from helpless
— she was active, bright, and full of life.
After Wendy revoked Mary Dahl’s authority, Mary demanded $55,000 for her “services.” When Wendy refused, Mary sued
her, then turned to the police claiming Wendy had dementia — a lie that triggered a devastating criminal case.
David was the first to be incarcerated, spending almost a year in Maricopa County jail. Shockingly, even his elderly
mother — also in her 80s — was indicted despite having done nothing wrong. The stress was unbearable.
Wendy, heartbroken that her trusted advisor and friend was jailed, tried desperately to help him. But by then, her
assets were frozen. She reached out to Joel in distress, asking for help to retain a lawyer. Joel responded by
reaching out to a longtime contact: Stephen Foster, a Princeton-educated attorney and radio personality who hosted
ESPN’s Laying Down the Law. Foster had worked with Joel’s company before, and they had spent time together in
Miami during Super Bowl Week, discussing both business and broadcasting partnerships.
Stephen Foster introduced Wendy to Phoenix attorney Joseph Stewart. Joel sent money to Foster, who then paid Stewart
to represent Wendy. It was all done in good faith, believing Wendy would be helped and supported by someone capable
of handling her legal affairs.
But what followed was an unbearable betrayal.
At David’s sentencing — after he was pressured into a plea deal in exchange for dropping the charges against his
mother — Joel sat in disbelief as Joseph Stewart, the very attorney retained through his efforts, spoke in court
against David. Stewart claimed to speak on Wendy’s behalf, painting a picture of David and Joel completely
disconnected from the truth. These claims stood in stark contrast to the hundreds of texts, emails, and phone calls
showing Wendy’s excitement and engagement with their business. She had coordinated meetings, offered opinions on
creative strategy, and expressed joy in being part of the venture.
The contradiction was stunning — and unacceptable. The same Wendy who warmly picked Joel up at the airport, who
played with her dog at the hotel bar, who organized meetings, was now being described as frail, unaware, and
victimized. Stewart’s courtroom statements raised serious concerns. Joel and Emily Sauceda fully intend to
investigate the circumstances surrounding Stewart’s involvement, how he came to speak for Wendy at sentencing, and
whether his role reflected a deeper manipulation within the Maricopa County legal apparatus.
Although Joel remains a defendant, he continues to file motions across Arizona, including in Pima County, and is
engaging with federal agencies. His mission is not only to clear his name but to expose a systemic failure that
turned an elderly woman’s independence into a weapon against those who cared for her most.
This is not just about two men who were unjustly jailed. This is about how one woman — Mary Dahl — set off a chain
of corruption and cruelty that reached across counties, destroyed reputations, stole freedom, and silenced truth.
And this is about Wendy — a vibrant woman whose voice was stolen — and whose story must finally be heard.
Conflict Of Interest?
We are simply asking a fair question: Are Ellen Dahl and Mary Dahl related?
If so, why has that never been disclosed publicly, and could this represent a conflict of interest in this case?
Ellen Dahl
Mary Dahl
If you have any information regarding their possible relationship — or lack thereof — please
let us know. Full transparency matters when lives and freedom are on the line.

Fake Facebook Accounts Linked to Mary Dahl?
Wendy Wolfenden never created a Facebook account in her life — something she confirmed in multiple conversations.
In late 2020, Wendy shared her concerns with Joel Sauceda that strange accounts were popping up under her name,
and she felt violated and confused. Joel began investigating and discovered that the only mutual friend linking
all these suspicious accounts was none other than Mary Dahl, also known as Mary Woodhouse.
Joel made it his mission to help Wendy get to the bottom of this — because identity theft isn’t just a crime, it’s a betrayal.
Who was behind these fake profiles? And why was Wendy’s name being used without her permission?

💬 Wendy’s Texts: She Was Anything But Confused
These 18 screenshots? Just the tip of the iceberg.
We’re sitting on hundreds of texts, voicemails, and even Zoom calls. Wendy was clear, witty, and wide awake.
Truth doesn’t age — and neither did her brilliance.
Truth-tellers will stand tall with us. Liars? We’ve got timestamps.
📧 Emails From Wendy: Not Your Average “Elderly Lady”
Think Wendy had dementia? Think again.
These emails prove she was sharper than a lot of folks in their 30s, 40s — and let’s be real — even 50s.
This is just a sample of what we have. Many more emails, many more people involved.
We’re not stopping. Those who come forward with the truth will be embraced.

I CARE A LOT — A MOVIE THAT HITS HOME
“I Care a Lot” is a powerful Netflix film that eerily parallels what happened to Wendy. The main character, a court-appointed guardian named Marla Grayson, exploits vulnerable elders by declaring them incompetent and seizing control of their lives and finances — all under the protection of the legal system.
In our real-life story, Mary Dahl plays the role of this villain. She used her legal status and power to isolate Wendy, erase her voice, and attempt to bury the legacy she helped build. We won't let that happen.
This movie is a must-watch for anyone with elderly loved ones. It highlights the very real dangers of legal guardianship abuse and shows how easy it is for someone to exploit the system when no one is watching.
We urge you to watch it, talk about it, and take steps to protect those you love. Because what happened to Wendy is not fiction — it's fact.
Artsclusivity
Artsclusivity, LLC was founded and developed by Joel Sauceda prior to the involvement of Joseph Stewart, with Wendy Wolfenden's full knowledge, excitement, and ongoing support. Wendy expressed admiration for the company’s vision, reviewed hundreds of its materials, and participated in branding discussions that formed the core of the project. Any claims against the legitimacy of Artsclusivity are not only unfounded, but a disservice to the creative spirit that inspired it. This section provides further clarity, including a formal press release issued by the current CEO.
