Exactly.
Yeah, think about this now.
It's hard enough to lose a child, period, but to have her death be unexplained, or at least for you not to feel...
like you actually know what happened to your daughter, that's a whole other level of pain and torture on top of the death itself.
This is the statement, the official statement from the family after the announcement of this inquiry.
So here's what they said.
The prospects of the federal United States attorneys investigating any aspect of Ellen's murder is a dream come true for her parents, Sandy and Josh.
We have only wanted justice for Ellen and now have renewed hope this will occur.
Sandy and Josh and their lawyers will continue to pursue and support all avenues to secure justice in this matter.
That makes sense.
I mean, to think that her death, and we'll get into the details of it, was initially ruled a homicide for obvious reasons.
But two weeks later, they changed it to suicide.
And so that doesn't seem like a lot of time, but we'll get into the why and how this all happened.
The details of her death, as we know them, she was found by her fiancé.
On January, that was January 26th, correct, 2011, he said he found her in the kitchen of their home slumped on the floor against the kitchen cabinets.
He said that she had been stabbed at least 20 times, including, and this is the thing that gets me, 10 times in the back of her neck.
And when he found her, she still had a 10-inch knife lodged in her chest.
And there was no defensive wounds.
Yeah, when you say no sign of struggle, but to have no defensive wounds.
And we'll get into what one of the medical examiners said, that they described the stab wounds as hesitation wounds.
