when i realized something was right, i rolled her over - she wasn t breathing a fatal bear hug? not possible thought nesli. and then she breezed for the answer she d waited five years to hear. did you bury marie in the backyard i ll tell you exactly where it s at. is that where you buried her? yes and at that point, th detective got up and left th room nesli past me a note that said i missed her. i was pretty devastated i was in that backyard in 2012 not like you didn t look. yeah, but, you know human nature you still have the guilt the feeling of i could ve foun her. six months after she was reported missing the pastor insisted tha tanya was around we shopping. knew nothing did you ever get her buried before tanya came back oh, yeah.
