Larry McNabney (Victim)

I can leave you here with Grandma and Grandpa, or...

You can come with me, but I want it to be your choice.

I was eight.

I didn't even hesitate.

I just said, I'm going with you.

It felt like life or death.

I knew something.

I didn't know what was chasing us, but something bad was chasing us.

We went to Texas mainly because it's centered around horses.

For her, that was always, and for me as well, I loved it because she loved it.

It goes back to her kind of always living in that teenage world

world but haley says her mom ran into trouble with the law again after she was caught trying to shoplift and they took her into custody and i was hysterical but she bonded out so when the situation in texas didn't work out her next thought was well i'm halfway there i may as well just go to vegas and that was it we left again

Haley pulls into town with her mom, who's going by the name of Elisa, and they rent an apartment in a nice area of Vegas.

But of course, she didn't have enough money for, you know, furniture.

So they're sleeping on a pallet, mother and daughter.

Elisa had already gone through a series of difficult relationships in her life, and in Vegas, she finds yet another new boyfriend.

She meets Ken, and he's got an up-and-coming business.

She ingratiates herself with him.

Pretty soon, she's living with him.

He was wonderful, very kind, and he adored my mother, and my mom was an easy person to love.
