Collier Landry

I was very much ready. You know, again, they said, you don't have to testify. I said, that's over my dead body. Like, I was not... You know, this is the thing, and I always tell this, like, when I talk to young people, or... You know, you have these moments in life, right, where, you know, all the chips are down. Like, you just push all your chips into the middle of the table.

You're like, I'm all in. You know, I knew that... If I didn't testify and my father was acquitted, I would go back to living with him. My life would be a living hell. He would never be like, yeah, I remember when he tried to get me convicted for murdering your mom. Or I might end up in a ditch somewhere, mysteriously, or drowning mysteriously.

And I also would know, I didn't give it everything I had. You know what I mean? I was not going to let that happen. I had enough foresight, fortunately, at that age, that I knew that I would be sitting here talking to a stranger in Houston, Texas, telling the story because I knew that I would want to be able to say I did everything I could. You know what I mean?

Even if he was acquitted, like everything I could to make sure that I got justice for my mother, I left it all on the table. And I mean, it's absolutely terrifying. This is the monster in my life who has taken the person who I love the most and he has turned my whole world upside down. But I was like, you're not going to get away with this over my dead body. You're going to get away with this.

The thing that was probably the worst is that, you know, I thought, okay, my family would step up, right? And my father's side of the family didn't want anything to do with me because they wanted me to recant my testimony. They wanted me to say that I lied about that. I made everything up, that I didn't hear the noises in the middle of the night, that I didn't know any of this went on.

And my mother's side of the family said to me, my aunt Carol, my mother's sister said to me, we will not take you in because you look like your father. They lived in Baltimore, Maryland. And I was like, wow, so I am really alone. So I went into the foster care system.

Both Collier and his three-year-old sister Elizabeth were put into the foster care system. Given her young age, Elizabeth was quickly adopted by another family, but they only wanted her, not Collier. And sadly, after she was adopted, she and Collier lost contact with each other. So Collier lost a lot that year. His mother, father, sister, childhood dog, his home, his security, everything.
