Dreams of Paradise
I was 27 years old when I came to Bali. It started off beautifully with love and excitement and adventure. But it ended in nightmare.
I wrote a book—Eleven Demons—about the events leading up to my sons and me fleeing Bali ahead of death threats. And yes, as many people have asked, it was cathartic.
I don't know if I will write volume II of Eleven Demons, but I believe the story would at least make an excellent podcast.
Many aspects of this case are still unsettled, so this website lays out facts and documents as reference.
But even more than reference, this case is a warning; maybe I can even save a life. Many others are on the same path to disaster and even murder, as blindly trusting as I was. Robert Ellis is dead because of me, murdered by his wife, Made Jati's friend Noor. Others, like me, have lost a life time's work, or have trusted lawyers, police, and courts without realizing their mistake.
This story has gone on to the next generation now. Made not only abandoned her children but cut them out of her life entirely. Made took everything, but our sons and I still have legal rights to the assets. She owes nearly $1.5 million in court-ordered child support and other fees but of course will never pay them or return to the U.S. to see her sons and grandchildren because she is afraid of arrest.
I am rewriting this website so it is still rough in parts; sorry, but it will get better. In the following pages I will start off with a narrative. But the deceits are so complex that at a certain point they no longer make sense, no one can understand the purposes behind them, and all I can do is present them to make of them what you will.
And for those who are firmly of the 'two sides to every story' camp—see the section on Made's Angels later for more of this—look over the evidence before you decide what to believe. It's well documented, most of it by Made and her Angels themselves.
For anyone with legal issues in Indonesia, the website Indonesian Law Advisory contains useful information.

The Uluwatu Story (the marketing version)
To start, let's dispense with the Ni Made Jati story.
The images of Uluwatu Boutiques and Kori Restaurant are marketing inventions. The Uluwatu commercial website at uluwatu.co.id is based upon a Press Release I wrote in 1992. (The complete script is available in Documents : II-42 to II-49.)
It proved so effective that many people began to believe it, and it eventually became an essential part of the Island of the Gods' tourist appeal. Made Jati even adopted it as her own persona.
