How did Justine first connect with Quinetta in prison?
I first met Quinetta when I started reaching out to women in prison. For years, I felt like I knew her. She was a nurse. She was strikingly beautiful, brilliant. And she really had a way with words.
She can look you dead in the eye and lie with the best of them.
What early impressions did people have of Quinetta’s personality and skills?
I thought I knew why she'd landed behind bars. She'll win people over, and they'd be so enamored with her. It's like they're on a high. I was telling you wrong. You don't need to scam. You don't need to trick people. I thought I knew why she killed a man. I'm going to be honest, he was beating my ass so bad, I would have grabbed the Virgin Mary to help me. But I know that I've been to the point where I was just so scared that I was about to die.
Violence had been her way out of a terrible situation. Right?
She did some things she shouldn't have did. She made a big mistake.
But the more I dug in, the more people I talked to, the more I realized that nothing was quite so simple. I kept asking myself, how do you make sense of a person's deepest truths when they are all wrapped up in the thorniest lies?
Just something kept pulling at me going, Quanetta did this.
Why did investigators initially suspect Quinetta in the murder?
We had her, you know, hitting his accounts. We had her with his car. So we had a suspect before we even had the murder.
But it wasn't until investigators saw the concrete slab in the backyard that they wondered, who are we really up against?
The minute I see that slab, I think, this does not look right.
