Where’s My Stuff?
Imagine watching your property taken off and sold without your permission right in front of the cops. You’d call that theft or law enforcement negligence. And that’s what a Williamson County dad has been screaming for years. WHERE’S MY STUFF and why isn’t Williamson County, Texas doing a damn thing about it. Another Family Injustice whopper.
Where’s My Stuff?
A once beautiful home, totally trashed.
“The disgusting way the house was left, that was absolutely shocking,” Charlie Goff said.
Property vandalized, sold, or stolen.
Sometimes this happens in an ugly divorce battle.
“I didn’t think that her wrath would. She would extend it to the boys,” Charlie Goff said.
But Charlie Goff’s two sons, CJ and Preston, who have both served in the military, are caught in the divorce crossfire too.
“It was really everything that I had was in the house,” CJ Goff said.
“The car, my car, was already, it was already sold,” Preston Goff said.
It looks like Williamson County family courts fanned the flames of this fight.
The Sheriff’s Office has never filed criminal charges, and they’ve been repeatedly asked to.
“I’m over in Germany. I can’t do anything about that. You know, I have my own jobs to do,” Preston Part said.
“That’s where Dolcefino Media’s job begins, because we are kind of like foot soldiers for hard truth,” Wayne Dolcefino told the camera.
“Get some justice. You know, for these boys,” Charlie Goff said.
It’s August 28, 2023, Hutto, Texas, in Williamson County north of Austin.
And this house is at the center of an ugly case of family injustice.
It’s owned by Charlie Goff. He got the house in his divorce.
But Charlie’s ex-wife Angelique had apparently refused to leave, and he’s pissed off.
“Imagine being ejected from your house and this is like the third man to come and go through my shit,” Charlie Goff said.
“That’s Charlie complaining to the Williamson County Sheriff’s Office that stuff in the house was being disappeared. That’s an expression you hear a lot these days from the anti-ICE folks,” Charlie Goff said.
“Angelique is her name?”
“Correct,” Charlie Goff said.
Look in the upper right corner of this video. You won’t believe it. See that flatbed truck? Charlie says his safe is being stolen right under the deputy’s nose.
That’s a flatbed truck driving away with a lot of Charlie’s money too.
“Mainly guns, hd about 16 guns in the safe. Easy, easy. 20 grand,” CJ Goff.
Weapons, fine watches, and Charlie says more than 30 thousand in cash.
“What’s your name, Angelique?”
“Angelique,” Angelique Aguilar said.
“He wanted it documented that there was a tow truck here and a safe leaving.”
“He’s obviously somehow watching me,” Angelique Aguilar said.
Charlie and Angelique married in 2013.
When he filed for divorce six years later, the divorce played out in Williamson County family courts.
We’ve investigated the courthouse.
Where it’s easy for women to get a protective order against their husbands with simple, unproven allegations.
Listen as an assistant DA actually gives a class to lawyers about getting one.
“A protective order carries criminal consequences. Accordingly, that makes it a pretty heavy tool in negotiating a divorce,” Leslie Levy said.
“Sure, if the allegations are true, but why are we telling lawyers it can be used as leverage?” Dolcefino told the camera.
“So I would encourage you very strongly, if you have one of those cases, to do the protective orders part of your case. It gives you more leverage in negotiating a settlement,” Leslie Levy said.
“Surprise, surprise, that’s exactly what was happening to Charlie,” Dolcefino told the camera.
“The textbook play is to accuse somebody of domestic violence,” Charlie Goff said.
Charlie says his ex-wife falsely accused him of domestic violence twice.
By the time the charges were dismissed, the damage was done.
Angelique had gotten an emergency protective order.
“He’s not even supposed to be within 500 feet of her, and he’s already breaking that,” Luke Merritt said.
That’s Angelique’s boyfriend, complaining Charlie shouldn’t be there to watch his stuff leave.
Not true, says the deputy.
“Angelique is her name?”
“Correct,” Luke Merritt said.
“Yeah, from what I’m reading, it seems like this was lifted 8-18-2023.”
But get this. Judge Doug Arnold issues an order barring Charlie from entering the only two houses he owned.
“She’s living somewhere else, established residence somewhere else. We have no children together. And next thing I know, I’m homeless, and she’s got two houses,” Charlie Goff said.
Charlie couldn’t even get into his house to remove any of his stuff, or his sons’.
And when their divorce was finalized, Charlie says his house in Hutto was unrecognizable.
“I knew her personality was vindictive, but I had no clue that she was going to go to the extent that she did to dispose of everything of value and leave the house a complete wreck,” Charlie Goff said.
Look at the condition of the house, filth and trash everywhere.
The kitchen cooktop smashed, microwave missing.
Door frames ripped and broken.
The bathrooms, well, you get the picture.
What you don’t see is just as bad.
In 2020, Charlie’s son Preston had just finished rebuilding a classic Chevy truck that had a lot of sentimental value.
“Basically took a more modern, fuel-injected engine and put it in an older truck. And it’s a lot of work, a lot of money and time,” Charlie Goff said.
“And then right before we could get it legalized and put in my name and everything, everything went down,” Preston Goff said.
And it was being sold on Facebook Marketplace for 6,500 dollars.
Preston says his Mitsubishi Eclipse was sold too for 5,900 dollars.
He never saw a penny.
CJ used to compete in junior drag racing.
Someone keyed his race car. It’s vandalized, but at least it’s not sold.
Charlie says his custom chopper is gone too.
A 19-drawer tool chest, sold.
CJ welded a horseshoe rack as a gift for his dad.
There it is being sold on Facebook, by Angel Aguilar, that’s Angelique.
“Lost my AR-15 that I got for my birthday. A lot of hand-me-downs, a couple of hand-me-down firearms,” Preston Goff said.
“A lot of collectibles and stuff that he had that his grandpa had, really, really good stuff. It meant a lot to my dad and meant a lot to me,” CJ Goff said.
“With her having exclusive access and me having none, she basically liquidated or allowed liquidation of every valuable asset in the house,” Charlie Goff said.
“She’s not a good person. I’ll just say that I know now,” Kyle Ziller said.
Kyle Ziller was one of Angelique’s boyfriends who says he stayed at Charlie’s house off and on for about a year.
He saw what was going on.
“I just know that she said she was actively trying to sell stuff because she had no income,” Kyle Ziller said.
Kyle says Angelique gave him a very nice watch and some hand tools, and he got pretty testy when we asked why he accepted them.
“I do know what was given to me. I don’t know what fucking belonged to Charlie and what didn’t,” Kyle Ziller said.
Kyle admits he has a welder that was owned by Charlie, says he paid Angelique 1,200 dollars for it.
“For me to just hand that back over, that’s not going to happen. I want my money back,” Kyle Ziller said.
Charlie says he found out who had Preston’s truck and bought it back for 5,000 dollars.
But he says most of his and his sons’ belongings are still missing.
“We don’t have any idea because the Sheriff’s Department hasn’t investigated it,” Charlie Goff said.
“There’s video evidence, Facebook posts of items for sale, and the law in Williamson County Sheriff’s Department hasn’t done anything about it,” Dolcefino told the camera.
“Is it civil? Is it shared property? You know, and then it just goes into that big spiral of civil, and that’s what I’m trying to establish right now,” Detective Barner said.
“As soon as they hear the word divorce, oh, it’s a civil matter, but is it really a civil matter when two grown adults that are serving in the U.S. military have their belongings disposed of without their permission or knowledge?” Charlie Goff said.
Charlie’s sons have dealt directly with the county, even while being stationed overseas.
“I’ve had at least 15 conversations with them asking for the same statements, the same list of things that are going missing. It’s a hassle. It’s stressful for sure,” CJ Goff said.
“Their position right now is they’re looking for reasons why they shouldn’t or can’t prosecute it, as opposed to looking for reasons why they should,” Charlie Goff said.
This is the latest criminal complaint Charlie filed. He’s learned that divorce is a way to avoid accountability. The DA declined to prosecute.
“That separation of property, that is a civil code. The Sheriff’s Office cannot enforce anything civil,” Joshua Pearson said.
“District Attorney’s Office, how can I help you?”
“Yes, Carrie Warner, please,” Andrea Palacio said.
“We’ve tried to talk to the DA, no luck,” Dolcefino told the camera.
“How can you explain the theft and vandalism that happened at Charlie Goff’s property?” Palacio said.
“Um, I have no comment about that case,” Charles Verdict said.
We also have heard from the boyfriend, Luke Merritt, owner of a Schlotzsky’s franchise in Bastrop, claiming the stuff wasn’t really stolen, it was community property.
“I didn’t marry Mr. Goff, and trust me, I wouldn’t want to marry Mr. Goff because he’d be six feet under,” Luke Merritt said.
Now Charlie is having to take Angelique to court to try and recoup his losses.
It’s an arbitration proceeding.
The house, once assessed at a million dollars, is now worth a lot less.
Charlie showed us receipts, saying he will now spend another fifty thousand dollars just to make the house livable again.
“The fight for his sons’ stuff, well, that’s a separate battle. They deserve justice,” Dolcefino told the camera.
“They didn’t marry her, but yet they’re suffering consequences for being dragged into that relationship,” Charlie Goff said.
“The boys are grown men. They were off protecting us in the military. They shouldn’t be victims here at home. If their stuff was sold without their consent, isn’t that theft? Last time I looked, that’s a crime,” Dolcefino told the camera.
