Dear Mom, Dad and Lori,

This is the hardest letter I've ever had to write and you'll probably all hate me once you read it. I've kept this inside myself for so long and I just can't lie to you any more. Both Paul and I are responsible for Tammy's death. Paul was "in love" with her and wanted to have sex with her. He wanted me to helpe him. He wanted me to get sleeping pills from work to drug her with.He threatened me and physically and emotionally abused me when I refused. No words I can say can make you understand what he put me through. So stupidly I agreed to do as he said. But something - ,aybe the combination of drugs and the food she ate that night - caused her to vomit. I tried so hard to save her. I am so sorry. But no words I can say can bring her back ..... I would gladly give my life for hers. I don't expect you to ever forgive me, for I will never forgive myself.

Karla - XOXO
