Meanwhile, Rachel, Basharas reported mistress, whose last name we are not using is speaking out for the first time. She released this statement Sunday:
I have not spoken to the media because I feel this issue has been terribly exploited and I wish no part in what has become a distraction to a serious murder investigation. I have cooperated fully with the authorities and will continue to do so. I would like to request that the media desist in contacting me, my friends, family and especially my children.
I think the general public should be ashamed of their feverish appetite for gossip. This is not a case that will be decided by what the general population thinks due to the sensational headlines. This can only be proven through the justice system as it works the way it was meant to.
A horrible crime has taken place, where a real person has lost her life and a whole family has been ripped apart. I cannot imagine the grief those close to Jane Bashara are feeling. I wish a speedy resolution to this case, so those involved can have some closure and healing can begin for all of us, who in one way or another have lost so much.
