BLOG: The sister and estranged husband of Angela Steinfurth, mother of Elaina, speak out about her past.

"I feel like it's an embarrassment that Angela is my sister," said Mary Schiewe, 23.
Angela, born Nov. 28, 1987, grew up without her father, said Mary, Angela's half-sister. She saw a picture of him once, but never knew him.
Less than a year after Angela was born, her mother, Lisa Mories, married Richard Schiewe.
"We never really had our mom in our life," Mary said. "It's always been my dad."
When Anglea was 16, she tried to reconnect with her mother, and maintained contact, although they were never very close, Mary said.
Growing up, Angela was friendly and into sports, but not all that competitive, Mary said.
"She always got along with people" and the family would go camping every weekend, Mary said.
Camping at Sunny's Campground in Wauseon is how Angela and TJ met.
During a search for Elaina on Thursday, TJ said he and Angela dated on-and-off for nine years; they bonded over "similar interests" like motorcycles and car shows.
Before they were engaged, TJ asked Angela's stepfather, Richard Schiewe, for approval and bought him a beer.
Christmas Day, 2010, in front of family, TJ proposed.
