Grazzini-Rucki announces her next targets: children, spouses, and family members

UPDATE: This story has been updated with new statements from Grazzini-Rucki targeting children.

Sandra Grazzini-Rucki, who is currently on probation for her role in the disappearance of her children, announced that she and others will be targeting the family members of judges, attorneys, and county staff, including their children.

The alarming comments from Grazzini-Rucki were made during her podcast last week, which she hosted with a man convicted of threatening to shoot a judge.

In an enraged tirade, Grazzini-Rucki said on her podcast:

“When we start exposing that, then we’ve made it personal. We are not gonna sit back and let you destroy our families because now, what you’ve done to us and our children and our families, we are now going to transpose it onto you.

We are going to start exposing your children, your spouses, your families, your parents. We are coming at you with exposing what’s truly going on in your own home.”

As previously documented, Grazzini-Rucki’s disdain for law enforcement and the court system has become more flagrant, her rhetoric more incendiary, and her behavior increasingly dangerous, since being released from jail last October.

But the recently discovered statements from Grazzini-Rucki in which she angrily declares “we are going to start exposing your children” are more troubling and concerning than any previous public comments made by Grazzini-Rucki.

Authorities in Dakota County have been notified about the latest comments from Grazzini-Rucki targeting children. 

Grazzini-Rucki aligns herself with man convicted of threatening to shoot a judge

Edward Taupie was convicted in October 2015 of threatening to shoot a judge in Connecticut. 

Grazzini-Rucki hosted the podcast with Edward Taupier, who was convicted in October 2015 of threatening to shoot Hartford Superior Court Judge Elizabeth Bozzuto.

According to court documents and media reports, Tauiper sent an email to a group of people involved with family court reforms which included information about layout of the judge’s home, specifically the distance to her master bedroom from a nearby cemetery, and ammunition that could be used to shoot the judge.

The judge targeted by Taupier had presided over his divorce proceeding with his ex-wife.

Taupier was prohibited by a family court order from possessing firearms, but during their investigation of Taupier’s emails, law enforcement “seized 15 firearms and more than 10,000 rounds of ammunition from Taupier’s home.” An additional seven firearms connected to Taupier were located during the investigation.

Law enforcement determined that four firearms located at Taupier’s home could have fired at the judge’s home in the manner described in Taupier’s email.

Taupier was convicted in October 2015 on four criminal counts related to the threatening email. He is currently appealing his conviction.

In May 2013, Tapuier was charged with voyeurism “for allegedly taking a video of his wife naked without her knowledge and posting it on the Internet.”

UPDATE: Additional audio from Grazzini-Rucki has been discovered from this interview in which she makes more comments about targeting children:

“So like you said, we have these DCF workers, these CPS workers, these judges, these attorneys, who think that they are completely immune to what can happen to them. Well, I will say it. It will soon be happening not to them, but maybe to their children and to their children’s children. And that’s when they will wake up and and go ‘oh crap’ we’ve got a problem.”
