In his blog posts, David DePape also talked about the woes of his personal life and made several posts rambling about Gypsy Taub (per the San Francisco Chronicle, DePape stood as best man at her wedding in 2013). Both Taub and DePape were outspoken nudist activists, and even got some publicity for holding a protest against banning public nudity while walking in San Francisco fully naked. DePape claimed Taub had convinced her children to dislike DePape, and ridiculed her in his blog for taking away his family from him, according to The Washington Post.

Per Taub’s daughter, Inti Gonzalez, DePape was a father to her; however, when Inti was 13, her mother kicked DePape out of the household, and she didn’t have any contact with him for eight years (via CNBC). Gonzalez said that in the past couple of months prior to the break-in, she had re-connected with DePape. She even read his blog posts online. Although she stated that she didn’t agree with his posts, she believed that her father wanted to be a good person. She wrote of him, saying, “There is some part of him that is a good person even though he has been very consumed by darkness” (via NBC News).
