Background & timeline relating to the civil suit’s (absurd) accusation that Nurmi “forced” the into a defense not of her choosing, one that centered on smearing Travis, which she never, ever, wanted to do.
PART 1: PRE-ARREST
From her last journal, obviously written after she murdered Travis. Before her arrest & the next set of lies.
(Greatly abbreviated & from an easily accessible source:

5/18/08: Frustrating times. My Helio phone was stolen. It is hugely inconvenient.
…I’m just not physically attracted to him anymore. I feel like a cloud has lifted since I moved back. He’s still a great friend w/flaws, but I have plenty of those, too.
-------------------
5/22/08: Sad news: I finally had “the conversation” w/Travis and it did not go well……we probably would be better off in all ways if we were not physical. He got offended and upset, then acted distant.
I tried being so sweet & speak kindly to him….Then it got worse, he asked me who I’m seeing, have I been getting my kicks w/someone else, etc. …
Well, even sadder is we agreed to amicably part ways. He is an amazing person, and he’s told me countless times that I am one of the most beautiful people he’s ever met – on the inside & out….
We are truly good people at the core, both of us, but we can’t behave ourselves when we’re around each other, not even over the phone.

I am mortified that my phone was stolen. It had a hugely scandalous text message from him (10 pgs!) that he sent last week. It would make a steamy romance novel sound like script from a G-rated Disney movie.
I also had 1 or 2 recorded conversations that were equally as scandalous. I never did figure out how to play those back for him.
Wherever my phone is now, I just hope to text messages & conversations are never discovered. yikes. It’s certainly not Pamela Anderson or Paris Hilton level scandal, there’s no video, but it would be embarrassing none-the-less.
------------------------------------------
He’s just so dang hot & cold. Bi-polar even, it would seem. The final chapter was finally written and the end was bitter-sweet. He said on some level, we will always be friends, but we both agreed that it’s better this way. .. And it’s very much in alignment w/the email I sent him a few days ago.
I won’t miss his teasing or his bi-polar tendencies to snap and yell and say things he ends up regretting, but I will miss his sense of humor.

5/26/08:
…I’ve somehow managed to become his whipping-girl, and we’re both addicted to it. It’s the same pattern as always, he gets pissed, goes off on me, feels bad, we “make-up”, things are mellow for a few days, then the cycle begins again.
I’ve learned that it’s better to just let it run its course.
Yes Travis you’re right, Travis, whatever you say, Travis. As long as I’m not too patronizing he goes right through it and then ends up being apologetic & sweet – talking afterward, and we end up having make-up sex, or in this case, phone sex. We’re crazy, being addicted to this cycle.
…..An occasional jerk & rude, but always redeems himself. Despite his character flaws, I love him & always will. … I let him get it out of his system until he couldn’t help it anymore. We called each other and talked until it was light out. It actually wasn’t really talking. Well, dirty talk, I guess you could say. I’m just as naughty as he is, more in fact
