She's always been an animal lover, and growing up, her cat would walk her and her friends to school.

We'd be like, go home, Chong, go home.

Her cats came with the names Cheech and Chong.

Her friend Megan remembers those walks and that cat very well.

He would just come behind us, walk us to school.

And when we got to the crosswalk, he would go his merry way.

I have no idea.

Like, who knows where he went?

They were Latschke kids, living the quintessential suburban life.

Saskia's older sister has lots of happy memories of playing with Saskia and their two brothers.

Here's Marisa.

We would go down to the creek behind our house and we had a huge fort there and we would just spend a lot of time traveling the creek and looking for crayfish.

But these joyful moments were only part of the story.

I think that our childhood was this odd combination of idyllic and traumatic.

And traumatic to nobody's fault.

You know, our parents did their very best.

They were amazing people.

Their dad was a smart guy.

He went to Stanford undergrad in Georgetown Law.

He loved musicals and museums.
