Right.

And Lauren had spent a lot of time at Eugene's house, Eugene and Andre's house when they were in high school and dating.

So in his interview, Andre told the cold case detectives that he asked for her opinion on his relationship with Eugene.

Lauren was not the only one Andre messaged.

He also wrote to Eugene's first wife.

In those messages, he wrote, quote, I'm starting to get fearful of Eugene.

And he asks her, do you think Eugene has a conscience or can feel remorse?

From her interview with detectives a few years later, Eugene's ex said that Andre could be dramatic.

And I'm going to quote from her police interview here.

She said the brothers had this love hate for one another.

And she thought that this was just another brotherly quarrel.

Even in those messages, you can see she's like, well, hopefully you all can can mend this relationship.

But as for Lauren Prier, she told me that she remembered getting that message from Andre.

She didn't send anything back.

So she didn't respond to him.

But the next time Lauren and Andre would see each other was at one of Eugene Gligor's court hearings.

It's still shocking.

I feel for Lauren because her life completely changed.

And she was so close to her mother.

She told us this was her best friend.
