I even have it circled where it says they read her rights and then it goes on to her telling her confession.
I think that we were used as a plea bargain to help catch bigger fish. I don't think anybody will ever be able to confirm that for me. But if she had more information to help them catch bigger people, they don't have to necessarily tell me all the information on what they're working on.
No, we haven't talked in years, and we're not together. So this guy, Edwin, who she told all of this was her husband, was not actually her husband.
I think about it a lot. I contemplate all the time if... I want to know the truth and I always go back and forth with yes, no, yes, no. The thing is, it's not going to do anything except for maybe piss me off. So I just stopped looking for answers.
I found out way too late. We're talking about nine years now. I can't go back and bring them all this. I just thought every person there was doing their job for me. I thought this was a big case. I thought this was abnormal. I've never heard of fetal abduction. Like, I just figured that everyone was in my best interest.
She sold my first few years between me and my son, and I'm never going to get those back. There's no money in the world that could pay for that. She stole that away from me.
There were moments in my life where I remember being like, I'm healed. I feel so much better. I'm going to be just fine. And then like five weeks would go by and I would be like, I'm so triggered right now. And it's just been a cycle. It's been a vicious cycle. And that's what healing is. It's been almost 14 years since my trauma happened.
And I feel like I just had an epiphany just a couple weeks ago.
I realized it's just a house. That's all it is. It's just a house that something bad happened to me in. But I'm here. I'm alive. I'm okay. And I have my son. You can't push or rush healing.
If you were to ask me where my safe place is, it's with him. I'm scared of everything. It can be as simple as I don't want to get into a lake because I'm scared I'm going to drown. I'm scared of life because something traumatic happened to me when I had no idea that it could happen.
So because of that my husband has been there to push me into different directions that I don't think I could have done without him.
And come 2020, we decided, why not? So we actually got engaged in 2020 and we got married. She and Josh had two more children together. We live a happy life all together. We're a very big sport family. We do football, softball, soccer, ride quads, go hiking, go to the lake. The son she nearly lost is now 13.
When I look at my son, I just think about how lucky we are and how blessed we are because not everybody gets this happy ending. I always tell him, you were absolutely meant to be here. I don't know what life has to offer you, but I just know you were meant for greatness.
When I was 17 years old, I didn't know that this was even a crime that could happen. I didn't know that because it was never talked about.
My motivation is not just to get my story out so that other mothers can understand that this is something that happens. I feel like it's an opportunity for me to be a voice for not myself and my son, but also for the mothers that are not here that didn't get to survive this crime.
Carrying a baby who wasn't mine and allowing that baby to leave my body and go to somebody else was a huge step for me and absolutely healed me in ways that I didn't know that I needed to be healed in.
I think about how that one second that it took For me to turn around is literally what saved my life. I would not be here if I did not listen to that gut feeling. It's okay to be naive. It's natural. It's who we are. We're only human. Just listen to yourself. Trust yourself a little bit more. Sit there and start to learn what that intuition feeling is and listen to it.
Maybe it'll help save somebody's life.
I grabbed my phone and I put my mom's phone number in my phone and I put the phone to my chest and I keep my finger on the call button. And I can't stop these thoughts. I don't know how else to explain it. It was just like somebody was whispering in my ear, telling me something bad was about to happen.
Everybody was outside my door. I had every single news station. I had people calling me. I had Anderson Cooper calling me. I don't even know how they got my number.
