I was trying to help her through it and, you know, just give her the best advice I could. And she was kind of spilling her guts, you know, what she went through, what she's hoping she will accomplish next, you know. custody stuff, you know, just the deep things that come with, you know, separation of family.

I've heard that too, but we have, at this point, no reason to believe that. We have nothing to substantiate that at all.

It's really hard to be there for someone else that you love when you're falling apart yourself. And we tried to make it work for a really long time. And I think it just got to the point where, unfortunately, we fell into this statistic

I had hoped we would beat it, beat the odds. But it's okay, because now we have the chance to get better on our own and be better for our family and ourselves.

I think that God put us together because he knew we would be able to survive long enough to be there for each other in positive ways. And we may not be together now, but I still trust him. And I will always love him because he has my kids.

Please, God, keep her safe until she is home with us.

What if all it takes is just the one person to watch what we're doing now? And they're like, oh, this kid looks familiar. It could happen in so many ways. And we've also put our DNA with Ancestry.com and 23andMe. And I open up my email and I'll see, you have another relative. And I always click on it, hoping it's her.

My best hope is that she's safe and she's with people that love her and care for her and feed her well and treat her well and she's able to go to the doctor and maybe she's able to go to school somewhere.

I'm hoping that she's totally ignorant to it and live in a completely normal life. That's what I really hope for.

Yeah, we actually, I did it all day today when we were walking around before we came here to see you. And I just said to Jeremy, I'm really tired of looking at everybody else's kiddo, but it's mine.

You know, it's really hard as she gets older and still not having her home and thinking about all the things I continue to miss out on. And it's like all of us have been robbed of that. And that is really hard to accept.

If the tips are right and the information we were given is right, she was sold.

As far as that, if there was a connection and that was it, that's null and void. That's just not even an option.

No, I watched in high school, watched friends suffer from addiction and I didn't want to be that way. I just seen so much suffering aside from the fact that it's just not appealing to me. And as a parent, that'd be the last thing on my mind.

But those people should ask the cops about the... DNA analysis on our hair and the drug test analysis on our hair. It's not there for a reason because it doesn't exist. So at least I have proof of that.

None. The only thing I did wrong was, um, drink that night. And, um... Possibly not be alert? Not here?

I wanted to ask, so why did you choose to share that with me? Because it has nothing to do with Lisa's abduction. And I want to be honest about everything so that people will look for her. Because I feel like if they're like, oh, she's being honest about that, she's got to be telling the truth about other stuff. And any publicity for Lisa's good, whether people like what I say or not. That's true.

Because sometimes I check on her. Well, most of the time I check on her and then the boys. So I'm assuming that I went and checked on her too, but I don't know. You don't remember? No.

I had several glasses of wine.

Yeah, but that has nothing to do with her. More than five?

Yeah, just wine. Just wine. Lisa was in bed and the boys were laying down watching a movie with the neighbor's daughter.

Yeah.

We were done, and I was like, okay, so what happens now? And he goes, it gets real close to me, and he goes, I think that you're a very bad mother. And I just broke down, and I said that it's not possible that I failed. And he just kept saying, I think you're a bad mother. You need to tell us what you did. And I just kind of fell apart.

Not gonna lie, my nerves, I actually wet myself because I couldn't believe what he was saying to me.
