48 HOURS

Since 48 Hours let all of these people on air to create conspiracy, I will take the opportunity here to respond since I wasn’t given the chance.

This really was just so shocking. The way they presented this story. It was sickening. I had been so misled. They interacted with my children. We talked about me being scared of Joe and the intricacies of what I had gone through. I thought I was going to finally be heard and this was meant to be, because we knew each other. We went to school together. She’s from this town. The town that I have tried to make my own again, and make my safe place. She knew that I have trauma. And I feel VIOLATED.

I recorded a 3 hour interview with her, spent a whole other day recording. She came to my home. Brought treats for my children. Where is my point of view being represented?

I sat down with Nikki Battiste on several different occasions. She told me, “We already know you didn’t have anything to do with this. We’ve talked with the detectives.”

Yet, they still made the show 90% conjecture, conspiracy riddled, to make it as salacious as possible. And they were definitely trying to make it seem certain way. They nurtured a space that has made my family’s life a little slice of hell. To misrepresent to get attention. To use a hometown angle, to make it seem like she’s really on to something, and has some really tough choices in reporting to do. When they already know I don’t have anything to do with this.

FOR CLICKS. I am so angry because they are missing the story. They are so busy trying to make this salacious as possible, make me look like the culprit, and I already know for 100% certain that I had nothing to do with this. I’m looking at the other clues and pieces to this puzzle. I am ahead of them. The police who know so much more than them are ahead of them. They just want clickbait. That’s the name of the game.

I actually want to know the truth.

This has affected my children. The same children you brought treats for. This is my life! Are you happy that I now feel like we cannot go out in public? Is that just the cost of business for you?

Where in the story were the people represented who have experienced this hell along my side? Where is our space to share our theories and experiences? Not the angle you wanted?

I want everyone to know that this just about pushed me over the edge yesterday. I really was just not wanting to be here anymore.
