Michael Volpe Investigates Podcast the Impromptu: Episode 85 an Interview with Whitney Thompson

Cynthia Albin only made a cameo in the notorious Zoom conference, but she’s a star in this child custody case where child molestation is covered up again.

Whitney Thompson is the latest guest on the podcast.

Her ex-husband Chuck Thompson pled guilty in an assault in 2021, which cost him his job.

In the last year, he has tried to commit suicide twice and he’s been accused of child molestation. Still, a St. Louis County Judge, Robert Heggie, recently granted him temporary sole custody.

Part of Judge Heggie’s order from June 20, 2024, awarding Charles Thompson temporary sole custody.

Charles and Whitney Thompson finalized their divorce from a marriage which includes three children on December 19, 2022, and it was amended on March 27, 2023.

They both had joint custody until September 2023. That’s when the children, Whitney told me, came home to say their father had molested them.

Charles responded well to the accusations, by trying to shoot himself in the head.

This led Judge Heggie to issue a temporary order putting Charles on supervised visits.

I reached out to Charles Thompson on his cell phone, but I received no response. I reached out by email to Brittany Erker, Whtiney’s then attorney, but I also received no response.

I called Jenna Conley, Charles attorney, and we had an unsatisfying conversation.

As the order indicates, by this point, Judge Heggie had appointed Cynthia Albin as the guardian ad litem (GAL).

Albin was appointed at the same time the order was filed, according to the online system.

Albin participated in the 2021 Zoom conference of nearly forty corrupt St. Louis area GALs, though she did not say much. She also appears on Derek Lambert’s case, which I covered in March 2024.

I left Albin a voicemail at her office, but she did not respond. Heggie did not respond to an email for comment.

Erker left the case on December 3, 2023, and was replaced by Laura Stobie.

Stobie did not respond to an email for comment. She is also a notorious figure in St. Louis County, sometimes featured in the Daily Docket News emailed newsletter.

Whitney told me that she was unaware at the time of all these connections.

Even as Charles was put on supervised visits, he attempted to commit suicide a second time in October.

Whitney filed a motion the modify custody. That motion has still not been heard.

By January 2024, with child molestation allegations still being investigated and two recent suicide attempts, Judge Heggie declared Charles Thompson fit and restored unsupervised visits.

Meanwhile, Whitney told me that law enforcement and social services were doing little investigative work on the child molestation claims. Though her kids disclosed to numerous mandated reporters, the allegations were getting little traction.

Some of the disclosures made by the kids, including that their father was “pimping them out” as Whitney told me.

Despite these disclosures, the allegations were coming back unsubstantiated.

Whitney told me that she was quite unsatisfied with Stobie which led to a confrontational phone call between the two in Jun 2024.

Stobie withdrew days later; Whitney had to face a temporary restraining order hearing alone. Since September 2023, Conley was calling these allegations bizarre and suggesting that Whitney was mentally unstable.

From a motion filed by Ms. Conley on September 21, 2023.

Whitney told me that of course her demeanor had changed at the hearing that Ms. Conley referenced in her motion; she had just found out that the father of her children was molesting them.

Ms. Conley’s legal pleadings failed to get any traction until June 2024, when her motion for a temporary restraining order was heard. At that hearing, Judge Heggie granted her client temporary sole custody.

Since Judge Heggie’s June 2024 order, Whitney gets one hour of visits with her kids per week, less than what Charles got when he was placed on supervised visitation after trying to kill himself.

Since that order Albin- whose observations helped Charles get custody- has left the case, and she was quietly replaced as GAL by Kim Whittle.

Whitney said no motion was entered to appoint a new GAL. Whittle and Heggie have appeared on a case before, of Angela Freiner. Her daughter told a judge, Nicole Zellweger, that she was being molested by her father.

Zellweger quickly got off the case after this audio was released, but not before sending that teenager, then fourteen, to live with her father.

The GAL at the time was Venus Jackson. Months later, Heggie and Whittle had come on the case. Below is Judge Heggie in a hearing in that case.

I reached out to Ms. Whittle, but she did not respond to an email for comment.
