Countries and states that she was then to think that shes right now back on the New Hampshire a lot of this doesnt make any sense i do think that there was a background deal especially after what happened with jeffrey himself theyre not going to want anything to leak out or anything to be known about this so with all the people that are worried about what happened to her now i think the government has already got much of what they wanted from her and terms of striking a deal you know.
