From the minute he was born, Joanna relished being Joe's big sister.
Mark Lewis, the son of a local preacher, was Joanna's first boyfriend.
At the start, Joe didn't think he had anything to worry about.
But after the abuse began, Joe confronted Mark more than once.
Mark had grown more powerful and influential at the Fellowship Baptist Church.
After they married, Patricia says she went to Mark with her fears.
Pastor Lewis, to hear former church members tell it, was a commanding and a demanding presence.
In hindsight, Jacob says, Pastor Lewis had too much control over him.
Darrell Snedeker was a deputy in the Solano County Sheriff's Department and a member of the church at the time of Joanna's death.
He wasn't involved in the investigation back then.
At the church, he says, it didn't take long for him to lose all faith in the place and the pastor.
