Sean Ayers

trying to find the answers that you deserve.

We were nervous because we had gone through so many people before, but I do remember after the meeting, you took the chance to walk us down.

And you turned to us and you had tears in your eyes.

You said, I'm always going to be here.

I'm going to continue to fight no matter what.

Sean and I talked about that on the way out when we were walking.

And I was like, I hope she stands up to it.

And you have.

Mindy introduced us, and I said, oh, I don't remember my exact words, but I know that I said something to the effect, oh, so you're only the next investigator, 200 and something.

And he was like, I would like to make the last one.

We all kind of had a gut feeling that this was going to be good news this time.

Didn't know just what good news, but something good.

The room changed to me.

Dan, everybody else disappeared.

Time stopped when he said that.

I said to Dan, are you 100%?

And he looked at me, he said, he's a serial killer.

Over 25 years ago, the state prosecuted four innocent men, teenage boys at the time of the crime.

The state did all this believing we were right, but we could not have been more wrong.

Mindy and I and Sean would like to start a cold case foundation in order to be able to help other families and bring law enforcement forensics and families and victims together in one one spot.
