My thoughts and prayers are with Tycora, Lisa and the rest of Jhessye's family. This is going to be hard for them. But I hope after she is convicted they can begin the healing process.Lisa Vance, Hunter's cousin who raised Jhessye for 4 1/2 years while Hunter was in a California prison on child abuse charges, said the news was welcome.
"Absolutely overwhelmed is the word for it," she said, describing her reaction to the news. "It's been a long time coming."
"We want to thank the Glendale Police Department for all of their hard work and everything they've done," Vance said. "We greatly, greatly appreciate that, and we want the world to know that we appreciate it."
I reeeeally hope Maasen represents jerice at trialHunter's lawyer Scott Maasen said his client maintains her innocence.
"The indictment is not evidence," Maasen said. "There is no body in this case. Cases without finding bodies are very difficult cases."
County Attorney Bill Montgomery said his office "has successfully prosecuted cases in which the victim's body was never found."
"We now have the opportunity to seek justice for Jhessye and uncover the truth behind her disappearance," Montgomery added.
