A message from Keith Hogan

I am writing to ask you for your help to bring Tariq Baig to justice.

My name is Keith Hogan and I'm a 42 year-old man, with a physical disability. I was born with a form of Muscular Dystrophy known as Spinal Muscular Atrophy, Type II, which makes it difficult for me to move on my own. The fact of the matter is that I cannot use my hands, arms or legs, so I need assistance to do everything. To accomplish this, I employ Personal Care Attendants (PCAs) to assist me in all of my daily activities. Late last year, I hired Tariq Baig as a Personal Care Attendant.

Due to my inability to use my hands and write, I have a stamp of my signature, which I use as my legal signature. Recently, I learned that Tariq Baig had taken several checks and stamped my signature to them without my knowledge or consent. He also attempted to commit identity theft. I reported him to the Austin Police Department and he was arrested & released on bail. Afterwards another warrant was issued and in fact there are now three outstanding warrants for his arrest: a felony in Austin, a felony in El Paso and a misdemeanor in El Paso.

I cannot stand the thought of Tariq Baig taking advantage of other people living with circumstances similar to mine. Any help you can offer will be greatly appreciated. Please spread the word, he must be caught!

Thank you.

Keith

Find Tariq Baig!

On July 23, 2007 my boyfriend, Keith Hogan, discovered that his personal care attendant TARIQ BAIG had taken several checks and stamped his signature to them without Keith's knowledge or consent.

Keith was born with a form of Muscular Dystrophy known as Spinal Muscular Atrophy, Type II, which makes it difficult for him to move on HIS own. The fact of the matter is that he cannot use his hands, arms or legs, therefore needs assistance to do everything. Needless to say Tariq's crime has had serious repercussions throughout Keith's life.

The Austin Police Department arrested Tariq in September for the first charge and he made bail so he was released. The APD filed a second charge and they have not yet arrested him again. Since that charge was filed Tariq left the country to go to the Phillipines. He returned to the United States via his hometown of El Paso and we have been informed that he is planning to move to California, thereby attempting to escape justice for the crimes that he has committed against Keith. WE CANNOT LET THIS HAPPEN!

Please keep your eyes open for TARIQ IQBAL BAIG and, if you see him, contact the Austin Police Department Warrant Office between the hours of 7:30am – 5:30pm at (512)974-5299.
