the picture of a monster early on. the two of you are very close. you had a very tight bond. we had. and he wasn t a monster. and not a monster that we knew of, obviously now we re seeing a monster. and it s horrifying, but, you know, that s not what he was. that s not what even this community saw him as. i want to read to you some information that we got recently from the police department, and it was his ex-wife filed charges against him. and all acts of domestic violence against her. two broken noses, two broken ribs, knocked out tooth, blood clot on the brain, two dislocated shoulders, she also alleges that he threatened to kill her and her daughter three to four times just that year alone. that was in 2005. in 2005. did you know about these allegatio allegations? did anyone in the family know? no, absolutely not.
