"KJRH spoke with one of Henry’s 13-year-old friends who would like to remain anonymous due to the backlash she has been experiencing through social media, by having known Henry. We will call her “Reese.”

“We met in science class. She was one of my first friends [at the school],” said “Reese”.

“Reese” shares that Henry was like any other teen growing up and that she also struggled with peer acceptance.

“She was fun to be around. She was very smart, and she loved art. She had great grades and she was funny. She was a great friend when she wanted to be. She was very big on boys and attention. She would pay guys to go to the dance with her and bring bags of candy to school, so she could offer it to [guys]. She wanted their attention, even if they were dating her friends. Rachel did not know her self-worth,” said “Reese”.

KJRH asked “Reese” to describe Henry’s family and what her home environment was like.

“Her mom and dad gave her a lot of attention and loved her so much. They would do anything she wanted them to. She lost her dad at the beginning of high school. Rachel’s dad was sick. That made things a bit rough for her,” said “Reese”.

“Reese” also told KJRH that she saw signs of Henry’s violent behavior early on.

“Rachel would say violent things, [like] talking about hurting or hitting people. If a kid in the cafeteria made her mad by cutting in front of her or bumping into her or if someone annoyed her, [she would react]. Rachel was always playing around aggressively with her mom to where she would hurt her, and her mom would have to tell her multiple times to chill out and stop. Rachel did the same with some of her friends. She would get mad or irritated out of nowhere and act as if she was wrestling around and hurt them. When [her friends] would raise their voice and say that she was hurting them by squeezing them tightly, digging her nails into them, she always wore fake nails, or hitting them, she would just say she was [just] messing around and to quit being a baby or stop being sensitive,” recalled “Reese”.

Reading the account of one of RH's childhood friends above, it's shockingly similar to the probable cause affidavit. RH reportedly was playing, wrestling, with her children when she pinned them down, using her body weight, and covered their mouths to suffocate them.

I think she fantasized about hurting, killing since her youth. MOO

“I felt like I was losing my mind. I didn’t know what was going on. I tried to talk to someone. They said I was stupid or scared and I didn’t know what I was talking about,” she continued, in part.

Henry, who has pleaded not guilty to murdering her three kids, then gave Rebolledo a second excuse for what happened.

“Do you know how bad I wanted to go to the store? I wanted to go outside. I wanted to do this and I wanted to do that,” Henry said, telling the great aunt she felt “trapped in the house” and “was going crazy.”

“I don’t remember doing it…because I don’t, it really wasn’t me," Henry added, according to the recording.

Henry’s trial is set to begin Sept. 30.

Her trial has been continued to January 2021.
