Cyndi was my neighbor when I lived in Tennessee.. I hope they kill the bastard! Chad was an alcoholic who ended up on our doorstep multiple times, to drunk to walk the 10 feet to his own doorstep.. Puking and barely able to speak he slurred so badly. He didn't work, he just got drunk!
cyndi was my cousin, she used to spend the night with me and babysit me and my sister. i miss her.she was more like a sister to me than a cousin. chad deserves the death penalty he took away zoe's and mom who did everything she could for her.now shes mother and fatherless i hate him and hope he rots in hell for what he did to her she was an amazing girl mother cousin daughter and friend, chad didnt deserve someone like cyndi.it makes me so mad to know he is still alive and breathing unlike cyndi.
