I remember thinking in the beginning days that no friends, acquaintances from the past were speaking out. Even the comments on the Eisenhower High School page, expressed a lack of remembering much about her. She was even a cheerleader. (There is such a typical 80s picture of her out there). I just feel she kept escaping various lives over all those years. Moving a lot, leaving husbands.... her way of leading a private life, where she could keep reinventing herself.
Even family relationships are stressful, it seems, but the lack of any longstanding friends or relationships is very telling.
When you really think about it, "best friends" Melanie and Zulema only go back a couple of years. In a life of relationships, that's nothing.
