In imminent fear of the return of Animal Control, using her alias name of "Alexandra", she reaches out to Animal rescue advocates for help in getting the animals off the property as ordered by Animal Control.
She wrote: "I have encountered some pretty nasty individuals who for one reason or another contacted Animal Control in Lancaster and I have until Wedensday to find homes and or relocate the animals on my property. if I can find foster families for just a week then it will allow AC to close its file" She goes on to list what she claims to be "21 cats and 18 dogs".
The animal rescue people who went to get the animals revealed that there were 21 cats and THIRTY EIGHT dogs, including litters of puppies because Hamou/McConnell never spayed or neutered her pets. They call her an "Animal Hoarder" and wrote "Thank God Animal Control intervened when they did" and there is a complete list of the dogs and their horrible state of health.
The complete documentation of the event, including "Alexandra" writing about the animals is here:

The actual details of this woman's animal hoarding and cruelty to animals caused by filthy, overcrowded conditions and neglect are documented among the TWELVE almost MONTHLY documented complaints to Animal Control about her and the property on which she was squatting between June 2011 and August 2012.
This file also documents her use of various alias names. She was "Oma Moran" in the report filed July 12, 2011
A cable company employee called in a complaint of more than 20 dogs and 20 cats, many of them clearly ill, housed in filthy conditions on December 19. 2011
On February 29, 2012, when Animal Control went to inspect the property, she was suddenly "Alexandra Oma Louise Hamou McConnell" in a report that found filthy foul living conditions and found FORTY ONE DOGS and well over THIRTY CATS on the premises:
The City went BACK, but she still had not cleaned up the place. On March 7, 2012, the County of Los Angeles Department of Health Services issued her a CITATION FOR HEALTH CODE VIOLATIONS No. 300055 for accumulation of trash, debris and animal droppings on the property.
Some FIVE FULL MONTHS were allowed to her to comply with these orders. Animal Control went BACK on August 1, 2012 and found she still had TEN dogs and 20 cats, 3 of which were still sick:
Numerous Animal Cruelty charges were filed against her January 29, 2012 in Palmdale.
Oma Hamou using the ALIAS NAME OF Alexandra Louise McConnell was ARRESTED BY THE BURBANK POLICE DEPARTMENT ON FRIDAY MARCH 8, 2013 ON A FELONY WARRANT BASED ON THE CRIMINAL CHARGES THAT WERE FILED AGAINST HER ON JANUARY 29, 2013 IN PALMDALE.
SHE WAS HELD FROM 1130 AM UNTIL 4:15pm and released on bail.

OMA HAMOU/AKA OMA MCCONNELL, ALEXANDRA MCCONNELL, ALEXANDRA MORAN EVICTION HISTORY:
2008. SHARLANE CHIPI. Represented by Attorney LAURENCE H. LISHNER filed Unlawful Detainer (EVICTION) against her tenant Oma McConnell Case Number: 08U03169
CHIPI, CHARLANE (sic)VS. MCCONNELL, OMA
Sharlane Cecilia Chipi. She lives in Torrance, and her phone number is available upon request.
In 2008 Ms. Chipi was seeking a short sale of her home. A realtor named Kevin Davies (phone available upon request) introduced Oma McConnell to Ms. Chipi, claiming she had loan approval to purchase the house but that McConnell wanted to move in as a renter prior to closing the sale. (This was exactly the scenario she used to gain occupancy at Mr. O'Connor's house in Littlerock.) Ms. Chipi agreed.
The first rental check was written on a closed account. No further rental payments were made. McConnell moved in with her son and another man. The house was thoroughly trashed. Numerous animals were kept in one room which was badly damaged. Carpeting was ripped out. Appliances were removed. The kitchen caught fire.
Ms. Chipi sought help from the Sheriff's department which told her that they could do nothing without an eviction order. Ms. Chipi filed a U.D. (Case No. 08U03169 - Michael Antonovich Antelope Valley Courthouse), which she later dropped due to lack of resources. She said that Kevin Davies also filed an action against McConnell and that she failed to show for the hearing.
Ms. Chipi says she has some files on the incident, as does Mr. Davies, and that she also has undeveloped film of the damage done to the house.
2009 Alexandra McConnell wrote a check in 2009 on a closed account to her landlord Huiku Batchelor. Felony Fraud charges were pressed and Oma Hamou aka McConnell was arrested for Felony Forgery, and an initial bail of ONE MILLION DOLLARS was set. Mrs Batchelor regained possession of the house while Oma Hamou aka Alexandra McConnell was incarcerated in Jail in Victorville. There were hordes of dogs and cats in the house. In the proscuter's words: in his words "She basically destroyed the house."
Bryan Stodghill

2010: "Alexandra McConnell" rented from Eric Cowan, but presented an expired California Driver's License in the name of Oma Hamou. Hamou/McConnell gave Cowan bad checks for rent and Cowan filed unlawful detainer/eviction and got her out of his house. Cowan, Eric vs. Hamou, Oma (Michael Antonovich Antelope Valley Courthouse, Case No. 10U01290). Erik Cowan will confirm 661-947-2079
Patrick J. O'Connor
2011 "Alexandra Moran" rented a room from Patrick J. O'Connor, but presented an expired California Drivers License in the name of Oma Hamou. She then claimed to want to purchase the property. She delayed the purchase for FIVE MONTHS with numerous stories, and is now squatting on the property without permission nor paying rent . She lives there with her son, Nicholas Royal Moran, who has severe psychiatric disorders (his is currently under Conservatorship pursuant to the California Lanterman Petris Short Act) and has a history of violence, both domestic and with police. Mr. O'Connor himself witnessed Nicholas Moran beat his mother in front of him in the residence. She also lives with one Steve Fred Lee, who has over 15 criminal convictions for eluding police, indecent exposure and habitual driving with a revoked drivers license. Another squatter on the property is one Michael McBride who lives with four or five of his children also on the property. Hamou also has literally many dozens of cats and more than 10 dogs on the property. Hamou attempted to keep Mr. O'Connor from evicting her by filing a Restraining Order against Mr. O'Connor alleging he made threats of violence against her and her son. However, she did NOT file this order until a full TWO WEEKS after Mr. O'Connor left the residence and moved to Alaska! Hearing on the requested Restraining order was held Friday July 15. Hamou first requested a continuance! The Judge refused to delay the hearing. After the Judge examined her criminal record, arrest record and history of evictions and Judgments, the Judge in so many words called Hamou "a Criminal and Con Artist" recognized her string of VICTIMS and refused to grant the restraining order, and further told Hamou that while he could not order her out at the moment, she did have to leave O'Connor's property and pay him the rent owed. Hamou told O'Connor by email she will be out by September 1. Mr. O'Connor's attorney has begun Eviction Proceedings against Hamou McConnell and her other squatters. While Hamou wrote Mr. O'Connor that she would be "out of the house by September 1" she has hired a lawyer to delay the eviction proceedings. Reports indicate that the house is trashed, with old furniture in the yard, many old rusted trucks, tires, boxes and piles of trash are strewn across the property. These photos of the property confirm these reports:
