says was broken by travis alec anneder in january 2008. a month before she killed him. she says in one of these violent incidents, she says, and that was one of them. it s broken in a way that p it looks like the tendon was cut and it healed shorter so the finger is upright like that. some think that she actually cut the tendon killing him. there s no evidence about that broken finger, but she says he did, but there s no corroboration, no police report, no medical report, nothing. that is a very difficult case. the only story you have to tell is your own with no evidence backing it. a mountain of evidence on the other side. it could be a short deliberation, but the three of us have been through other we ve been surprised aat a whole lot of things. thank you to both of you. stand by if you will because next up we have details that are still coming out of ohio on the shocking case of three missing women, all of them found alive.
