47.642 - 62.087 Paul Jensen

I'm continuing to tell my sister's story and to memorialize her with music. She was a really exceptionally warm and sincere person.

She liked having us brothers. She wanted nothing more in life than to just have a family and be a mother.

Mark took joy in everything. He was just such a great personality. Julie was the first real girlfriend. Mark was really enamored with Julie. You could just see it. He loved her a lot. I'm Florence Jensen, Mark's mother.

Julie and Mark were a model couple.

766.447 - 798.423 Terese DeFazio

She started saying things like, I found some notes next to his computer that had lists of drugs and syringes and other paraphernalia that I think might be something he would try to use on me. Was there a side of you thinking she can't be serious? I didn't know what to think. I was worried sick about her. When Julie said that her husband's looking up poisons, what did you think?

798.983 - 808.272 Erin Moriarty

To tell you the truth, I didn't know what to think of that. But by early November, Margaret and Ted had become very concerned about Julie.

809.192 - 809.893 Ted Voigt

She got very sick.

810.733 - 811.613 Erin Moriarty

And what did she say?

He's trying to kill me some way, somehow.

816.635 - 823.378 Margaret Voigt

My husband said, take the boys. Leave. You need the money. I give you money. And she's like, no.

824.241 - 829.785 Erin Moriarty

And Therese suggested Julie go to a woman's shelter. Again, she said no.

830.506 - 845.216 Terese DeFazio

He will find out where it is. And he's also always said to me that if I ever tried to leave him, he would make it look like I was crazy and I wouldn't get to see the children.
