Without knowing it a nice record. It wasn t an if, it was a when were they going to tell us that she is not coming home? this is not what we was supposed to happen. The note was under her blanket. I saw it sticking out. Their daughter was a runaway. I am frantic, because i did not find her. They called police. They searched, and then a jogger found a ready to and a pool of blood. Here they are, three people at the door. I just started sobbing. They had found her daughter, but not the boy she was with. It was as if he had never existed. We couldn t find anything about lj. Months went by, still no trace of lj, and then an rookie took the case. How did you feel about it that this was going to be your case? i didn t know if i was going to be capable of doing this, i cried for 2 hours. 18 found dead. We still don t have an answer.

this is not what was supposed to happen. the note was under her blanket. i saw it sticking out and i grabbed it. their daughter was a runaway. i am frantic! because i did not know how to find her. they called police, they searched, and then, a jogger found a red shoe and a pool of blood. here they are, three people at the door. i just started sobbing. they had found her daughter, but not the boy she was with. it was if he had never existed. we couldn t find anything about. months went by, still no trace of lj. and then, a rookie took the case. how did you feel about it? that this was not gonna be your case? i didn t think i was capable of doing this. i cried the first few hours. a teen found dead. we still don t have an answer. a mysterious answer and the missing suspect. they say, lj has killed someone before. and hurts to solve. i have the feeling, you are learning how to become a detective as you go. this is the case that taught me.
of chalked that up to, okay, she s gotten cold. i had a massive headache i couldn t get rid of, so i went to take a shower. annie had gone downstairs to her room to listen to music. we just figured it was another saturday. but it wasn t. when veronica finished her shower, annie was gone. james searched her bedroom. the note was tucked underneath her blanket. and i grabbed it. and it just said, i m sorry, mom, i haven t been totally honest with you. annie, it turned out, was keeping a secret. in the note, she wrote, i lied to my friends. i told them i was p. p. veronica and james knew that stood for the word no parent wanted to hear, pregnant. a few months earlier they learned annie had had sex for the first time. she d had sex. to annie, she assumed i could be pregnant or i am pregnant.
oh, yes. oh, yes. veronica tried for years to find annie a stable home. but after annie had been flung back to the state nine times, veronica young, naive, and stubborn made a surprising decision. to adopt annie. did your superiors tell you, we don t do that, veronica? oh, yes. don t cross that line? uh-huh. you have a professional relationship with this child, but don t bring her into your home? well, and that was very true. and because at the time i also happened to be about six months pregnant. and so i m sure the thought was, okay, crazy pregnant lady, she doesn t know what she s doing. but it was very much, are you sure? you can t save everybody. but veronica was determined to try. she and her then husband dennis adopted 10-year-old annie in january 2007. annie, who had bounced around from house to house, finally had a home, parents, and brothers who adored her. she was the immediate cool big sister. she liked being the oldest, being in charge, teaching them
a social worker made one of her cases deeply personal when she decided to adopt annie. over the years annie thrived, but it turns out she was keeping a secret that was only discovered after her disappearance. could a fake pregnancy really have been the motive for an all-too-real murder, or had annie run into the wrong crowd? here s dennis murphy with the girl with the red shoes. veronica kasprzak is a determined woman. did someone say you can t save them all to you? my mother is probably the one that would say and still says that. but yeah. i heard that a lot. she rarely listened, though. the desire to do good, to save a child, was too strong. though sometimes in the quiet hours, she wonders if she did the right thing. if i wouldn t have picked that house, if i would have not
