brainwashing. of a controlling father who poisoned his daughters minds with the drip drip of a phony story that went on for years. that their mother was no good. crazy. that they d all be better off with her out of the picture. a father s manipulation that went all the way back to ballet class days and probably earlier. what flashed back to me was that time i saw a 7-year-old karrie standing front and center, shaking, and i personally believe it was this accumulation of control. i felt that she had been brainwashed. and looking back, michele s mom is now certain it was lloyd who was behind the unexplained rift with her daughter. i think that he d already started alienating her, manipulating her mind. putting a false narrative in her head about who she was and who her people were? i have often referred to him as jim jones. it s almost cult leaderesque
bowl 56 is in the books, los angeles rams taking a come back win before the hometown crowd. quarterback with the win now. and his favorite receiver, the super bowl mvp. rams win 20 3:20. and after days of protests of covert mandates, the ambassador bridge is now fully open, allowing truckers to flow through really between the u.s. and canada. now back to dateline. he u.s and canada now back michelle norad s mother jean was still dealing with the loss of the top that grief, was a long-standing story. jared stop talking to her mom
and you went to see her? i did. i went home. it was so shocking. as funeral arrangements began, michele s friends were haunted by a request she made just months before her death. she said, well, promise me that if anything ever happens to me that you ll look out for my daughters. and then i reassured her, naively perhaps, that she was going to live a long life. but she was pretty persistent. so, i said okay. and we left it like that. she got me with that story. sorry, she got me with that story. but even in their grief there was confusion and doubt. the friends thought the michele they saw in her final days was anything but suicidal. what were her plans? was she forward-looking? constantly. we were always
the story told by the phone meant he couldn t be an hour and a half south in corning as michele was about to die. so police had to consider others in michele s inner circle. and that included the last known person to have seen michele alive. it was someone who d admitted in a phone call with police to fighting with michele that very night. her middle daughter, karrie. when i got there, we were freaking out. she was yelling and then she got quiet. so i waited for her to come out and talk to me. i know you re upset. but if you can take a breath for me so that i can understand what you re saying a little better. yeah. yeah. okay. i m sorry. sure, karrie sounded distraught. but the officer who first took down her account of that night didn t like what he was hearing. he said right away, something s not right. what was he referring to? karrie specifically was not telling the truth about what happened that night.
