I can't even imagine that court room today ~ My thoughts and prayers go out to Tori's family! My heart breaks for them

Cynthia Mulligan ‏ -Tori's grandmother arrived. I asked her if she's prepared for what she's about to hear, she said you can never prepare for this.

Rodney also told me he wants to hear the truth, doesn't know how he'll feel when he sees McClintic again. "She stole my daughter,"

At the youth detention center, Rafferty was visiting her and he wrote "boyfriend" in the sign-in book. Gotta find the link.
