Bad Romance: No Tomorrow
You know? He was just, he was way too happy. He was smiling. He was like making jokes.

He was also complaining how, like, the funeral costs were so expensive, and even after Laura's dead, she was still costing him money.
20/20
Bad Romance: No Tomorrow
The pain and the grief didn't hit until I was at her memorial service. I was then seeing her picture and then this little box in front of it. That's when it really hit. Like, that's my sister. I was never going to hear her voice again. I was never going to be able to hug her again.

Bad Romance: No Tomorrow
I wrote a victim's impact statement on behalf of my sister because my sister no longer has a voice, so I'm speaking for her. And the people that did this to her that took her life needed to be put away and kept away forever.

Bad Romance: No Tomorrow
I love Heather. She has such a caring heart, and she loved those kids. Laura did even say, like, if something happens to me, please take my kids to her.

Bad Romance: No Tomorrow
Laura was living in Georgia, and she used to play a multiplayer online game. So you could talk with anyone and meet other people. And that is Hashim and John. And he was living in Texas. They began a romantic relationship online.

Bad Romance: No Tomorrow
Yeah, she was. In the beginning stages, I think it was more like an infatuation. They hadn't met in person yet. It was like the excitement of something new. Like, she was happy about it.

Bad Romance: No Tomorrow
She was, you know, really adventurous. She was also really smart. She had her kids to think about, and just moving in with some guy that she really didn't know was not an option.
20/20
Bad Romance: No Tomorrow
Yeah, she didn't move in with him right away. Laura had a job lined up. She was getting her own place so they could start a relationship and see how it would go. Laura found out that she was pregnant within the first four months of being there.

Bad Romance: No Tomorrow
And he denied that the child was his. He said that she was sleeping with somebody else. He made her get a paternity test and go to his lawyer's office with the results. She was really hurt, and he still wasn't really willing to have anything to do with her until he knew 100% sure that Maria was his.
