Gagged, could tell they issue is more scared than anything because he was very brooding mailed dominant personality type before that we have really seen now, it seemed to see now kind of cool suave, Yo Newport Beach. Looking guy Debbie and John kicked us out that night, and it was just a very emotional, very scary event, especially on thanksgiving you you'd expect their family would be brought closer, other even remember. Tying Debbie, as we were walking out in I thought Thanksgiving was about family and not boyfriends, and tell them that God to her, because I think she was turned to realize who and what she is giving up just for this guy. We were not welcome, therefore, things because

There was a sad and he was living there, so that chief came out, but he was living there.

I thought for Thanksgiving Day we always drift out, put our family and made a real special day, and here he comes down and is looking pre sloppy, but I thought well, we worked hard and that Turkey for him to do that and we just kind of talked about little things in dipole. Debbie later I said. Oh, I think he's a great guy. You know you just very nice and courteous, and it was very kind to me when Jaclyn showed up her cousin told her John wanted to have a private word with her in the alley behind the house. I would like hell. No, this is not happening right now. I have nothing to say to you anything that he wanted to say to me. It could have been said in the house in front of everybody. So

Deborah says she doesn't remember agreeing to this, but Jaclyn insists that she did. She showed me a picture she took when she attached the tracker. The First time stamped one thousand one hundred and thirty four p dot m on February. Second, two thousand and fifteen had been in our moms life about four months.

None of it amounted to proof, none of it was the severally incompatible with his story. These were fragments of a puzzle.

Jacqueline knew. She had to be careful about what she told her mom. It could get back to John. She didn't want to be dismissed as a meddler in her moms business. Did you let anybody else now that you're driving. Did you tell only right away friends, but he thought I was crazy. He was like you shouldn't get involved with this.
