so that he could dedicate more time and energy to finding a solution that would bring his children back to him. “Sam and I have numerous projects, and things are cool between us,” Perry said of his departure from the partnership. “I have to devote my full time and attention to getting my children back.” Chavez wished Perry March well, and told him that he hoped he was successful in regaining custody of his children. Chavez released a written statement to the Guadalajara Reporter in which he stated that he and Perry still had a few real estate projects that they were working on together. In addition to finding a solution to get his children returned to him, Perry had other problems, among them a community that was quickly turning against him and labeling him as a swindler and a con artist. It was little wonder. One of the more outspoken local residents, Esther Solano, a political activist and Mexican citizen, had come out strongly several months earlier against Perry March and C&M Development and the other enterprises he was running with Chavez.
