So her boyfriend isn’t a suspect.
What I find apolling is she’s going to clubs and her mother is taking care of her son.
She’s 34 not 20. Probably got tired or maybe did herself in.
Why was she on probation , and how much longer was her time to carry on till she no longer had to report to the police ? .
How often did she see her son , other than when she collected money from her mom ? .
Is there a latest age – enhancement photograph of her ? .
Is her boyfriend also the father of her son , what does he do for a living , if they are still together , that the mom must take care of her grandson , as well as giving them an allowance ? .
If he is not the dad , does the biological father contribute in any way to the need ‘ s of his son ? .
