There's nothing confusing about waking up to find your daughter gone then calling said daughter on her cell phone and being told that mom picked me up at 4am. She wanted to go back with her mom.... So mom told her not to tell dad she was coming to get her and she didn't. Absolutely no fault of the child... But this is typical crystal behavior. Crystal has always done whatever she wants with no regard for any one but herself.

Oh, so you're not just family of Crystal's ex? You have known Crystal personally for a lengthy or short period of time?
Not trying to question you to death, just trying to fit some pieces of this crazy puzzle together.

I've known crystal for 18-19 years when she married into my family. And even though I haven't had as much contact with her since they divorced... She is still the mother of two children in my family.

If this is true then her friends were led to believe something different about the pick up. Of course she had custody and was worried he was going to file to keep the daughter, which he did. Moot point now that she is in jail. The daughter didn't need to be involved in this anyway.

What is typical behavior?

Do you know why her family has not took more interest in this situation? I'm hearing that they are not helping in anyway? Is this true?

I've never met anyone from her family. It's my understanding that she left home very young and never looked back.

I think CL is really good at saying what she thinks others want to hear. I think the fact that she was married to a 7 time felon completely throws "good parent" out. I know nothing about her ex but for her to complain about him being behind on child support when she was married to AL is beyond ridiculous. She should never have subjected her daughter to AL's influence and lifestyle.

I wanted to post this AM re: child support but couldn't because....Military computer. The back child support that CL claims sounds strange to me as well. When a soldier is court ordered to pay child support it's a done deal. Payroll gets the order and the amount comes out of their check. Period. It's more common that payroll gets behind and keeps taking the $ out after the children are no longer eligible (ie: after High School, marriage, emancipation).

NJ- like I said in my first post. IDK if she did or did not participate in killing BC. I hope for the sake of the children she didn't. But let's be clear: AL called crystal's ex and tried to extort money from him in such a way that he was trying to actively cause Crystal to loose custody of her daughter....and she stayed with him. He cheated numerous times on her...and she stayed with him. He was openly rude and condicending to her daugher...and she stayed with him. She knew he was a felon (maybe she didn't know all his criminal history) but she knew he served time in jail...and dhe stayed with him. He was unemployed and had no sourse of income other than illegal activities...and she stayed with.

None of this makes her a killer.....but do u think she was "in love" with him enough to help him cover a crime after the fact??

NJ said that Crystal has reported that they got in a big fight on Friday night then she went to stay with an ex bf.....I'm thinking "Honey I just killed someone could cause a big fight."

The first paragraph of this post in particular deserves 1000 thumbs up. I have a hard time finding any sympathy for a woman who made these choices, and especially a woman who has children to think of. If she was accepted in nursing school she's obviously not stupid, which makes it even more inexcusable. She's old enough to have some wisdom and experience and should have far better judgement.

I am a single mother to 4 kids. I've been single for over 10 years now, since I was divorced, because I have extremely high standards and won't bring just anyone around my kids. I am a nurse, and went through nursing school as a single mom - my kids were 11, 6, 23 months and 5 months when I started. (My ex met his "soul mate" when I was 7 months pregnant with the youngest, and just couldn't pass up that opportunity!) I'm close to CL's age. So I am judging CL from a pretty equal standpoint. There's just no excuse for all the stupid choices she made.

And no, it doesn't make her a murderer but I believe LE has a reason to have charged her as they have. They're not going to jeopardize such a high profile case by bringing frivolous charges.

Was this her first marraige? I know you said she had 3 kids, 2 by your family member and 1 by...? Must've been married before?

I noticed it when it was first posted...thought it was odd.

I think I've seen that link on more than one thread on WS. I assumed someone had posted it, then others kept the link and have reposted. Seems like the question of cell info comes up in nearly every case now!

 

[Butler321]

She had a young daughter when she married into my family. I don't know if she was married to her first child's father.

Thanks. NJ, yes it is sad her family is not helping her. May be like you said and ties were broken years ago.

That's what my sleuthing friend sent me in PM that her theory was about it after doing some googling and digging. ( she's a smart one!! [emoji16])
I haven't been here long enough to be familiar.
Thank you!

I was wondering when you said 3 kids about the 3rd. So this is a grown and gone child? You said "had"... She is still alive and well though right?

Crystal's oldest daughter is alive well and grown.

Let's settle the child support issue. This is a copy of the Child Support Withholding form that was filed with the Court 9/5/2014. CL's ex-husband was in arrears less than 12 weeks and was paying $100.00 monthly toward the amount owed.

I cannot imagine what he was feeling upon waking up in the morning and realizing his daughter was gone. I commend him for taking custody and care of his children in a highly stressful situation for all involved.

 

[Butler321]

12 weeks is a lot less than 2 years

Sorry if that was confusing. I just reposted it. I hope I caused no harm. It was something I found in another thread and we were talking about same thing in this thread. Is that illegal to post or something? Sorry still trying to learn the rules here.

I'm sorry if I posted wrong info but CL told me it was 2 years behind. I have said here that unless I was able to verify it from multiple sources that I do not stand behind the information. Again, I am here for the truth, nothing more, nothing less.

 

[KayKay.85]

So...I sit here thinking mostly about AL and SMH. Soooo many people's lives he has destroyed. Holidays for these families are going to be tough. Keep them in your prayers.

So, are you disputing the information above stating that it wasn't 12 weeks? Are you saying that yes, she lied to you? Or something else? Not being combative, curious.

I just thought it was you. I'm sorry!! Me too. (Still learning)

 

[SavvyRose]

Could the arrears have been from when he took custody of his son but then agreed to keep paying support? Just wondering.. And it doesn't matter one bit. All it proves is that CL lied to NJ about how far behind he was.
I'm still blown away that he payed the child support while supporting one of the children in his home AND was expected to pay gym fees. Wish my ex was half the man..
