(Mugshots taken of Sir Patrick taken by the Carlotte County Sheriff’s Office.)
**UPDATE** “Sir” Patrick is a dangerous fraud. He was never knighted and is actually a convicted sex offender who has a ton of aliases, his original name is Roger Eldon Floyd Sisson (the first) and he is from Michigan where he lived with his parents. Yes he does have a family, quite a few actually and many children whom he has abandoned.
After his real history was uncovered he fled from Florida and is now living in California mainly under the alias ‘Prince Dr. Khristian Knight’. Yes, seriously.
He uses hundreds of online ‘dating’ profiles for predatory purposes so watch out for this man or you might end up with empty pockets or worse. He’s required to register as a sex offender so if you know of him violating any of the registry laws please contact the police.
I know that there’s a lot to take in on the various blog posts and the hundreds of comments about and by him here. If you have any questions or need the Cliff Notes on things feel free to contact me via this link.
To see what happens after he is able to lure his victims to his house go to this post on the SP Info page:

When I wrote in the ‘Sir Patrick, Epic Hoarder‘ blog wondering about Sir Patrick’s true history little did I know that it would open a can of worms in the comments section…and would actually lead to some answers.
John McCain and Jesus Christ
First came comments from two people who identified themselves as friends of Sir Patrick. One identified himself as Steve Vallilo, the person who had called Hoarders in hopes of helping Sir Patrick pay off the steep amount of debt he is in. The comment gave more details of Sir Patrick’s story as well as stating his birthday is September 24 (this date is important so keep it in mind for later).
The second didn’t want to leave a name, but instead left a long post detailing in fantastical language the story of Sir Patrick. Which apparently involves a conspiracy headed by John McCain, Sir Patrick’s classified status (see, that’s why you can’t find any military records on him), and the fact that he resembles Jesus Christ. Wha? Yeah.
I spent several hours (seriously, because I’m like that lol) searching public records trying to find any bit of evidence that might verify the fantastical sounding stories of Sir Patrick being knighted by Prince Charles, spending seven years in a POW camp, conspiracies by McCain etc…but found nothing.
Concerned Citizen
Then this morning came a comment from somebody identifying themselves only as a concerned citizen:
Hi Anita,
Did you check the Charlotte County Sheriff’s booking website? He is there as a registered convicted felon. Also look under the POW/phonies web site. the other name is there.
Holy convicted felon Batman! A quick search on Google turned up a site listing people who are known to be POW phonies that listed Sir Patrick’s other identities:
RICHARDS, COL ARTHUR ALLEN
AKA SISSON, ROGER E.F.
AKA O’SHANAHAN, PATRICK
Another quick trip to Google turned up a booking sheet from the Charlotte Country Sherrif’s Office confirming that yes indeed Sir Patrick is a convicted felon. But there was one problem, it was just a check in so it didn’t say what he had been convicted of.
I searched and searched trying to find the source of the conviction but only turned up judgements against him where he was ordered by the courts to pay people the money he owed them. I asked my awesome, lovely wife if she would be willing to search a bit because she’s good at that stuff and she found…
Sir Patrick Donovan Flannagan O’Shannahan, Convicted Sex Offender
Oh my god he’s a convicted sex offender! A search for one of Sir Patrick’s known alternate identities (Roger Sisson) turned up this profile on the Family Watchdog site:
The description matches the description in the Charlotte County Sheriff’s office booking, including the birth date (September 24th) and his unusually short height (5’4″). And of course the picture says it all.
The Family Watchdog profile and the Missouri Sex Offender Registry profile detail that Sir Patrick (aka Roger Sisson) was convicted in 1981 of a sexual assault that happened in 1979. Under aliases they also list a name (Arthur Richards) that was mentioned on the POW phonies site under Sir Patrick’s profile. And another of the aliases…Patrick Donovan Oshannahan.
The Missouri Sex Offender Registry reports him as failing to register, whereabouts unknown.
So yeah, I think it would be kind of hard for Sir Patrick to be knighted by Prince Charles considering that same year he was being convicted of sexual assault. Just sayin.
Find Out More
I’m posting this after spending all afternoon and evening looking into Sir Patrick’s true history and have unfortunately run out of time. Oh man there is so much more I want to write!! I will be looking into this more when I get more time and I’ll post what I find. But the basic trail and links are all here, what do you think about it all?
Special thanks to my wife for all her help with this and of course to Concerned Citizen for the illuminating tip off! This is information that should be out there in the public’s awareness, especially in Sir Patrick’s area.
*UPDATE 9/17: I just found a section of the Missouri Sex Offender profile of Sir Patrick that I missed before. It lists all the aliases that they know him to use:
Arthur A Richards
Shanahan O
Patrick D Oshannahan
Patrick Donovan Oshannahan
Arthuralan Francois Richards
Roger Sesson
Rogette Siasson
Roger E F Siesson
Roger Eldon Floyd Sisson
Patrick Oshannahan
Patrick Donavan Oshannahan

*UPDATE 9/28 Posted a follow up to this blog called Brides For Camelot, Some Digital Footprints Of Sir Patrick O’Shannahan
*UPDATE#2 9/28 Some readers of this post may be interested in a related comment by Steve Vallillo in my Contact section. He says that I singlehandedly ruined a multi-million dollar tv deal for him and Sir Patrick.
Also, I would be killed if I didn’t live in such a far away place like Alaska. However he did stick to the polite road when it came to curse words, which was nice. Here’s the rest:
http://anitasnotebook.com/contact/comment-page-1#comment-2186
*UPDATE#3 9/28 Sir Patrick responds to this blog post and others. Well I’m not even sure how to summarize what he said so here’s the link:
*UPDATE 10/2 Started a Sir Patrick forum in the message board as an alternative to the comments section here.
*UPDATE 10/3 Looks like I got a very ugly and possibly drunken email from Steve thing morning.
*UPDATE 10/5 Hi All,
I agree with EdM’s comment on this blog about the key to Sir Patrick’s past being in Michigan. I followed this same trail last night and have privately messaged one of the possible family members.
I am concerned for their privacy (especially the girl’s) in light of his history. They might not be aware of what he’s doing nowadays or have seen the show.
I am waiting for the family response before posting any other findings.
*UPDATE #2 Hi All,
Well that settles the privacy concerns…his family has posted in the comments sections in the various blogs about him. Sir Patrick Donnovan O’Shannahan is even more despicable than I had thought and it took a lot to pass that!
The girl he associates with the bedroom dolls is his own daughter!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sorry for all the exclamation marks but I am thoroughly disgusted. I’m in contact with his family and am trying to sort out the true story of Sir Patrick aka Roger E F Sisson.
Will write more later, I’m sorry I haven’t had a chance to respond to all your comments yet got a lot going on today. Check out the comments left by his family and please be very kind to these poor people who have had to live through a lot.
Thanks,
Anita

Sir Patrick aka Roger Sisson Information Page
*****************
Got a new anonymous email this morning via the contact page. Sounds a bit drunken but see if you can guess who it is by reading it:
The hit to the contact page at that time is associated with previous comments left by Steve. I guess he was afraid to say all that in public under his own name. What do you all think?
(Bored with typing out my full moniker, still the same person. I suppose you can call me Ed and we’ll pretend it’s short for Edwina. ;)
One, does he mean Rear Admiral B-Y-rd? Two, by all accounts, Admiral Byrd is a hero of sorts, is he not? Facts on his life are easily enough available to the public without one having to do much digging, for wood or otherwise.
From pg. 35, “Solitude: A Return to the Self” (Not to be confused with a Sir Patrick self-help website ;) as there is no smiley for “tongue in cheek”.) “Byrd was not escaping from personal unhappiness. He describes himself as having an extraordinarily happy private life,” and I am inclined to believe him. What a lovely family… http://library.osu.edu/sites/archives/polar/byrd/bphoto.php
Three, how can Steve (imposter or genuine?) compare that great man to a man known to be a felon and sexual fiend?
Now to the really dirty stuff. Anita, how did you come upon being an Eskimo from Indonesia? It’s like your family made a reverse Bering Strait trek. That is amazing. But don’t you prefer being called Inuit? Finally, I think you’re lovely. There. Steve, you are refuted. My opinion is infinitely more valuable than yours or your master’s.
Hee-hee! Sorry about the Ed reference in my earlier comment-I didn’t catch the abbreviated user name. But if Ed works, I’ll stick with it!
Like EdM, I find you to be lovely, Anita. And persistent, and smart and brave. So, I also refute Steve’s (hopefully) drunken ramblings.
Thank You Amy!
Thanks EdM, but did you clear that opinion with Sir Patrick first?
Thanks for the info on Admiral Byrd. When I first read ‘adm. birds’ I thought ‘Admin birds?’ (as in web admin…but…birds lol). That just shows how much time I’ve spent working on websites lately.
Admiral Byrd? Now we’re comparing Roger Sisson to Admiral Byrd? What bothers me about Steve is that he is unable to accept that he was conned by this felon.
Steve-we all know you’re reading this. Stop. You’ll get more sympathy and support by admittting you were duped. You are a victim of his lies just as so many others have been. However, by continuing to believe the bullshit he spews, you appear to be an apologist for him at best, and a partner in his crimes at worst. You need to ask yourself, “What happens when Patrick turns on me?” Because, he will.
What is clear is that Mr. Vallillo had high hopes that the spot on Hoarders would lead to more fame. Steve actually posted on Wayne Brady’s Facebook page about his “Dayview (sic)” on A&E’s show. I couldn’t figure out what the heck a Dayview was until I realized he meant “Debut.” Clearly he has some delusions about the notoriety one achieves by appearing on a reality show-especially one with subject matter like Hoarders.
Priceless, Amy. The “dayview” thing would be absolutely charming if it came out of the mouth of a small child. I’d love to see Sir Patrick as a panelist on a revived American Version of “Whose Line Is It Anyway?”
Drew Carey: (After a game of Hats/Dating Service Video) OK, great job Ryan and Colin. Four thousand points. Wayne and Sir Patrick, I’m giving you negative three million points for all the creepy references to Jesus, hypnosis and little girls.
SP: It be the Vultures of Satan™ stealing me lucky points again. Drew, you be in league with the Evil One.
Drew: ABC?
SP: (Sir Patrick approaches Drew with a swinging pendulum.) Look into the eyes of the Irish Healer…Come fly with me…I will win this game…
Drew: Hahaha (uneasy laughter) Next we’re going to do a hoedown about…(reads paper) “Little old ladies who be evil incarinet and deserve a beating…”
Audience: (groans) Sir Patrick!
Can’t.Stop.Laughing. OMG, Edm! You are hilarious!
Thank you. :)
I know this whole business is very serious, but it is human nature to find reasons to laugh about these things. And Sir Patrick does provide so much fuel for the comedic bonfire!
You’re right, it’s serious but we’re just whistling past the graveyard at this point. This whole tale is hard evidence that truth really is stranger than fiction.
Amy,
Got a screen shot of the Wayne Brady thing. Right above it looks like he was also trying to leverage being on Hoarders to try and get a family member to start talking to him again.
RE: The drunken Steve message
I thought his misunderstanding of how the internet works was revealing and probably drawn much from how he hopes to rise to fame, i.e. on Sir Patrick’s coattails.
It never crossed his mind that people can post any pictures they want on the internet without having to be associated with a larger than life figure.
Ironically, the only mugs I’ve uploaded in a long time are the mugshots of Sir Patrick/Sisson. Also, I wonder if he would know a true Eskimo mug if he saw it :D.
Seriously though, how sad.
That is one killer mug. Did it perchance come from a hoard? It seems like one of those bargains hoarders can’t seem to pass up.
“Aboriginal Peoples of the World” mug collection by Avon. It’s collectible!
It’s from the “Uuckin Fugly Mug Enternet Collection” by some company in Port Charlotte, Florida ;).
Anita,
You are seriously wonderful. I fell onto this website by chance. I saw the Hoarders with SP and I thought if nothing else, that he was really off.
You really really made my whole day with this outing of SP’s past. Thank you.
Plus you’re flippin hilarious!
This makes me realise how bonkers this whole thing is…15 years ago or earlier Sir Patrick would have been able to get away with this nonsense. No google, no online criminal records – at one time Sir Patrick said something and IT WAS SO just because who or what would prove him a liar? Seriously, being a compelling character was at one time, quite enough. Now there’s the internet and awesome chicas such as yourself, Anita, to poke holes in the lies of lunatics.
Sir Patrick ain’t gonna survive the information age :)
Thanks Juicy,
Hopefully the info that we all post can help any future Olenas out there that he might be trying to lure via the internet.
His Facebook page has been taken down so at least those women/girls are safe. Who knows if it was him or Facebook that took it down though.
Sir Patrick,
Please buy a dictionary and look up the word “redundant”. Your usage of it is off-ish.
@EdM RE:Whose Line Is It Anyway?
LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!! I almost fell out of my chair :D
Thank you. I’ll be here all week.
:P
Re: “I speak with an Irish/Scotch brogue….”
I want to dissect this one.
First, which is it? You are one or the other, Sir Patrick. You had said Irish. Are you confused about your ethnicity? Scotch-Irish are Protestants from Ulster (northern Ireland) who settled in America during colonial times and their descendants. Most of them were Scottish and English who had settled in Ulster in the 1600s. You most likely aren’t one of them if you came from Cork. Sorry, mate. If you were one of these people, you’d call yourself an Ulster Scot.
Scots don’t call themself Scotch. It’s belittling. It’s no longer proper to say Scotch accent. It’s a Scots accent. Whiskey, pie, plaid, broth: Scotch is fine.
As for your brogue, no one, Scots or Irish, would say this. Brogues are just shoes in Ireland. An Irishman would just say something like, “I have an Irish accent.” You describe yourself like an unwitting American would who is trying to pass himself off as something he is not.
Sisson’s not a very Irish name…. But of course I am not an expert on this subject. I could be wrong on the usage of Scotch. But the rest is enough to convict Sir P. of nationality fraud, surely.
He states on the show that he was born in Dingle, Ireland but in other places he writes he is from County Cork. Dingle is in County Kerry. He’s such a lazy liar. Good lord man, put some effort and research into your fabrications. God knows you spend enough time on the Internet, do a little fact checking.
I was going to add that! Because I just found this:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/54424866@N05/5052500964/
You and I are on the same page, Amy!
He keeps getting younger and younger…
That’s another reason I know he’s never even been to Ireland. Ask any American to name a county in Ireland and if they can answer the question, I’ll bet that County Cork is the response you get almost unanimously. It’s so obvious.
I rewatched the episode earlier-it’s the first time I viewed it since all of the more sinister allegations surfaced. It was actually uncomfortable. The anger that was so close to the surface, the contrived behavior, the DOLLS, the shifty eyes. {{{shudder}}}
It’s on the telly again in an hour!!
Yes, very shifty eyes.
one picture is worth a thousand lies.
Also, it’s “Donovan.” Not “Donavan.” At least I have never seen that variant used. How does one misspell their own name? And on the Florida booking sheet, he gives “County Court” as his place of birth. That reminds me of Steve’s “Dayview”. What else…oh yes.
Why isn’t Ireland dark blue, Sir P.?? Why did you put this application on your page if you did not intend to highlight your “homeland” and those countries in Asia you’ve (not) been to?
http://www.flickr.com/photos/54424866@N05/5051930561/
Sorry to answer myself. I just realised, he probably couldn’t spot Ireland on a map.
sorry his 13 year old fiance.(I need a dictionary sometimes)he broke into her parents house and was going to take her away.but something went wrong so he wanted me to testify that he was with me and he would never do such a thing.
Mr. Sisson was born Polish,Grandparents came directly from Poland and spoke very little english.
hi.his ancestry is straight polish.lol.i would know i was married to him.
I guess we don’t have to alert authorities in the UK after all. LOL! Classic.
This reminds me something my best friend shared with me. She’s been a US citizen for 25+ years, but still has her great British accent. She said she’s always amazed at Americans’ fascination with British accents, and how we instantly ascribe credibility and importance to anyone that has one. She remarked that it makes Americans seem so gullible. I think that Sir Pat knew this, and that’s why he adopted his faux brogue. I think it’s also interesting that that sweet little old lady he assaulted was British.
“Sir” Patrick’s accent never struck me as particularly Irish. He sounds like the White Rabbit from Disney’s animated classic “Alice In Wonderland.”
As a final treat, here is a closeup of the ribbons and medals. Perhaps some bored person can help me identify them.
http://www.flickr.com/photos/54424866@N05/5052613690/
I have a (probably ridiculous) question. In the photo, are the ribbons even on the correct side of the uniform? I always thought the ribbons were on the opposite side of the name tag. That way, they fall on the left side of the uniform when worn, and appear over the heart of the wearer.
Drewscott,
He’s got ribbons and medals on the uniform. You can’t do that. It’s an either/or thing. Also, ribbons do not go on the same side as the name tag. Name tag right, ribbons left.
Not at all a ridiculous question.
I’m looking at the photo and if you look lower left third row up from the pocket I believe that the ribbon at the extreme left of that row appears to be the WWII Victory ribbon. At the extreme right of the same row appears to be the WWII Eurpoean, African, Middle Eastern Campaign ribbon.
On the opposite side the entire WWII Victory medal is the second one below the Purple Heart.
These are WWII medals, unique to that conflict.
The photo resolution is not high enough for me to make sure, but I am fairly certain that I am correct on both the WWII Victory ribbon and medal, less so on the EAME Campaign ribbon.
Hi Greg thanks for taking a look at the picture and commenting. I’m sure Sir Patrick/Roger Sisson would just say he built a time machine to go back and fight in WWII or something to that effect ;).
Seriously though it’s a disgrace whenever someone tries to steal the recognition that true heroes have earned, let alone when the fakery is done as part of a scam like SP is doing.
