It is a disturbing and puzzling part of the story. How does one become influenced in the way some of the victims' families alleged their loved ones were? I found these tapes of Terry. Tapes of her getting prepared for this trial. And boy, are they something.

A man named Ken Fairchild is walking Terry through how best to respond to allegations that she was liable for Sandra's death.

So Terry Hoffman is often heard on the tapes, suggesting she has no influence over anyone, least of all Sandra. In these tapes, Terry would have the court believe that she's nothing more than a gal pal, a friendly ear. Terry wouldn't even admit she was Sandra's spiritual advisor. This advisor, Ken, seems to be reminding her that her freedom is on the line. They could lose this case.

When she talks about Sandra, she doesn't speak as a grieving friend. Her voice doesn't waver. Terry's advisor tells her to avoid words that indicate she had any control. So, Terry suggests that Sandra made her executor of her will of her own accord.

Incredibly, Terry tries to argue that she found out after the fact. While the trial to contest the will was set against Terry, Croom and the Cleavers wanted law enforcement to launch a criminal investigation into her.

The assistant DA was a guy by the name of Cecil Emerson. He very much wanted to pursue a criminal investigation, despite the fact that Terry was not at the scene of either supposed crime. She wasn't at the beach when Devereaux drowned. She wasn't in the car when Sandra and Luis drove into the Garden of the Gods.

Cecil was sympathetic to the family's concerns, but he was hamstrung as far as prosecution goes. Because while it seemed as clear as day to Gail and Chuck and Kroom that Terry Hoffman had played a role in these three deaths, there was no smoking gun. There was motive, for sure. For days, there was motive. But there was no note from Terry promising Sandra that she would be reborn after death.
