What a sad case, she looks like such a nice gracious person and mother in the pics shared on this thread......

How sad that her daughter called the police to help 24 hours before Leslie was found dead - do you think it was the husband/accused who called 911 finally on death, or the police came for a follow up from the first welfare check of their own accord......

Women in domestic abuse situations .....this is pain very very close to my heart.... with first hand experience....

Husband called 911 the next day. She was able to be artificially revived but was already too far gone. 95° when admitted to the hospital
