"To have her murdered in such a cold, calculated way, is beyond rational thought," the letter reads. The Babcocks say they are on medication for depression, and are dealing with many sleepless nights. "We long to see Laura Smile and hear her voice."

"If Tim Bosma had not been cruelly and senselessly murdered, we'd probably still be agonizing over what happened to Laura," the letter reads. The family says they teached their family not to use the word hate. "Unfortunately, you men have made us hate."
