Hi Rosco - whew, I have spent the last three work days procrastinating my ever growing stack of things to do because I have become so absorbed with this thread and the one on topix. I feel like my eyes are going to roll out of my head, lol. I just want you to know I have read both of the threads in their entirety, myspace page and of course your website and my heart goes out to you. Don't let your other family members critisms discourage you - your quest to find the people who did this is honorable and it shows the world what a strong, compassionate woman you are. It is not normal to behave the way some of your family is and it is just so disgraceful and sad that they just want to forget so quickly what happened and just go on with their lives. The only reason they can do that is because they are much weaker in spirit than you, your hubby, Rick and your SIL are and they take the easy way out which is to just forget and move on. A great injustice was done here in what looks like a selfish quest for money and lets just hope that a twist of irony comes into play and those who perpetrated this for monetary gain go to jail because of someone else's quest for money, the 20,000 reward, and come forward with information that tags them.
I have been so disgusted with A's actions that I can't stop telling my fiance about it or thinking about it. The amount of frustration and RAGE I feel towards her is amazing - I can't even imagine if I feel that way how YOU must feel. I just hope that LE interrogates her every chance they get and break her down slowly. It sure doesn't work like it does on TV does it. I watch the First 48 on A&E all the time, which is a reality show where they follow homicide detectives for the first 48 hours after a murder is committed and they always get their man, or woman to confess and they always have all these witnesses who come forward with info. I wish that for you and your family so much.
Stay strong and diligent - I know you will. You are an inspiration to other women out there in similar circumstances. Also, coming from an animal lover, thank you for rescuing Roscoe. NO animal deserves to have to live with that person, much less a child.
This will be Terry and Darlene's year for justice. This house of cards will fall eventually.
