Erin Moriarty

And that really gives you an idea of just how scared Mindy seemed to be.

So that's the question I ask people.

I would ask her friends, why didn't you ask more questions?

And they said that they did think the story was crazy, but because her husband had such an impressive background, they believed him and they didn't ask a lot of questions.

Keep in mind, Anne-Marie, Kasotis had been a lawyer in JAG, the Navy's Judge Advocate General Corps, which is basically the Navy's legal arm.

I don't know if I ever mentioned to you that before I went to law school, I thought about being a JAG because they pay for your way into law school.

And it is considered to be one of the best ways.

It's a military lawyer.

And so he was highly respected.

He was a naval officer and he had served all over the world.

So not only Mindy believed him, all her friends did, too.

It also occurred to me that because of the Internet and there's so much talk about conspiracies, I think people are more open to this kind of story that he was telling.

You know, this is still kind of a mystery to me, Emery.

Her parents did not speak to us, but the investigators told us they did love their daughter.

Still, we know that when Consotis told Mindy's parents that their daughter had died and that he didn't get her body and couldn't tell them where it was, and oddly, they seemed to accept that.

You know, you would think they would maybe call the cops.

They did not.

I should also point out they were all living in the same house.

But they went away to visit her brother, their son, during Thanksgiving.

And when they got back, that's when Kasota said that he had taken Mindy to the hospital and that she had died.
