And the "admin" of that Facebook page is a brother in law. When he was on Jane Velez Mitchell (which he proudly posted on FB, e.g., "hey everybody watch me!"- that's a paraphrase), Jane would say "what what Laura's life like?"..."tell me about Laura" etc., and he would just repeat: "we don't know". He gets his info from the media. They didn't even seem to know Laura.
But he is happy to be the "admin" of the FB page, and happy to coordinate money gathering activities, as long as he is in the loop. (But no one is allowed to use paypal because he doesn't like it.)
I found another article to fill in the timeline of LA's movement through her life.
Based on public information records, this is what apparently happened:
Rodger has 3 children with his first wife, in 1978 (JA), 1976 (daughter) & 1974 (daughter - who's husband is the FB page admin).
LA is born in 1984 to Rodger and her mother who was 21 at the time (not posting name because she has avoided media). RA's other children are 5, 8 and 10. They all live in the same town, not sure if all are in RA's custody though (maybe lived with his first wife?).
In 1991 there are deed records which imply a split between RA and LA's mother.
LA and her mother relocate to Iowa in the mid 90's (Laura was 11-13), LA's father and half siblings remain in Michigan.
LA leaves Iowa in 2003 for Missouri when she is 19.
LA relocates to NC and lives with her half-brother JA and his wife at the time (SA) for a year in 2005.
LA meets GH in early 2007...and we know the rest.
So, this husband of her half sister (who hasn't lived in the same town as LA in at least 15 years), probably never met or spoken with LA, knows nothing about LA, married LA's half-sister who is 10 yrs older than LA after LA had left Michigan, probably has never meet LA's children or been to NC for that matter - this guy is getting facetime on JVM, talking bad about LA's father (who helped fund her custody battle) and dictating how LA's children's welfare fund should be handled?
We also know Jason has avoided the media, and wants out of the spotlight. We know LA's mother really wants out of the media spotlight. LA's father has also been quiet aside from announcing he is seeking custody of his grandsons and does not want them raised in the area by the parents of his daughters killer.
Some ask: where is the family? Why is it unusual to assume those in her family closest to her want to avoid the media given this case and the circumstances? how do we know LA didn't speak with her mother and father weekly? Remember, her mother is not the same as the the mother of her half-siblings.
Be careful and skeptical of who wants IN the spotlight, and who is using this sad episode to promote themself as someone they are not. There could be an axe to grind re: 1984 or thereabouts.
Again, I would fully expect ANYONE collecting $$$ on behalf of LA's children to show up to the custody hearings (either Rodger's or GH's parents if/when they file) since by anointing themselves the sole custodian of these donations...their input into these hearings will be relevant and important - right?
