Laura's Story
My daughter Laura, was a 36 year old beautiful woman, in perfect health, going through a bitter divorce. Her husband was fighting the divorce and holding it up anyway he could.
I stayed with my daughter for 2-3 months at a time, both in summer and winter, for years.
While I was there in December 07, my son-in-law told me that Laura wanted a divorce. He told me, he didn't want me to tell anyone, in case Laura changed her mind. He would cry all the time, telling me how much he loved my daughter.
Since, I and Laura's father are divorced, I decided to call him to let him know what was going on. I only speak to my X when there is an emergency. He did call Laura, but he was of no help.
My daughter finally, told me what was going on, and that she just didn't love him, and hadn't for a long time. Laura also told me other things about him. A few weeks before I left to come back to Delaware, I told her husband that she just didn't love him. As bad as I felt for him, I told him, you just can't make someone love you. He became very angry and his demeanor changed. He told me,"He couldn't stand the thought of another man touching her, it would kill him." He also said, how do you know that someone she picks wouldn't hurt their daughter, or her. He said, she doesn't really know what it is like out there, in the world. He said Laura wanted alimony, child support, the house, etc., then,"What am I suppose to live on?"
My son-in-law would come home from work and yell, scream, and cuss at Laura, telling her she had ruined his life. My daughter did not like confrontation and would just grab her keys and leave. As a rule the home was always very quiet, except when my granddaughter and myself were playing.
I talked to my son-in-law about his behavior, especially in front of my granddaughter. He said, "Well, she's got to know about it someday." Laura and myself sheltered my granddaughter. She was only 6 years old.
Laura also caught her husband trying to take pictures of her getting out of the shower, which I spoke to him about. He put a a tracking device on her car, which was found, 2-3 months later. Since, he couldn't find where Laura put this device, he had to tell the police about it. Laura thought he had put hidden cameras and listening devices in the house, which I believe is truth. Most of the time she went outside to make any phone calls.
He tried to ruin my daughter's reputation by telling lies to her friends. He has a real act of making you believe anything he might tell you, but I know my daughter. He is the one that I found out is a Jekel and Hyde. Laura finally told me, she found out he was running around with prostitutes. My private investigator, Mike Peasley in Florida, also got her husband on video with his topless prostitutes. My daughter's real friends, co-workers, and church family, both in Florida and Delaware knew what a wonderful, gentle, kind, compassionate, generous person Laura really was to all she came in contact with. Laura had that special quality of making others feel comfortable, like they had known her for years.
My daughter lead a very sheltered life. As a Christian family, we were at church, every time the doors were opened. As a young person, Laura worked in the nursery. She loved the children and even bought some clothes and under garments, with her own money, for some children who were not as fortunate as herself. She also went to a Christian school, until high school. As an adult she became even more sensitive to others needs, whether it was her time, help, or money, she was there for you.
After I got back to Delaware, I spoke to Laura often, to make sure she was alright. Laura was telling me that her husband was acting very strange and she was getting scared. I told her to leave and go stay with one of her friends. She said no, she didn't want to put anyone else in harms way. I told her to come home then, she said, no, she had real estate closings. Laura was a Realtor and loved helping people. I told Laura that I would come back to Florida, but she said, no her husband wouldn't want me there. She said, she would be all right, you never expect someone you've known for 18 years to really hurt you. My brother-in-law Tom, use to say, "Anyone is capable of anything, put in the right situation."
Laura told me, that she would come home, once all her closings were done. I told Laura to set up her own checking account, and if she needed any extra money for the home bills, she could always transfer money. She set up the account and was also going to set up a P.O. box, because her husband had been opening her mail from her lawyer and tossing it. She told me she was going to get a safety deposit box too.
Laura thought her husband was starting to put poison or something in her food and drink. One of the first things she noticed was the pitcher of homemade tea, she had made the night before. When she took it out to get some, after coming home from work the next evening, she noticed it was all foamy. She called her partner, and he told her to throw it away.
I told Laura that maybe he was putting a date rape drug on or in things. He had previously told her, in a letter, that if he couldn't have her, then no one would. I told her to call the police, but she didn't want to do that to him. I told her to just come home. She said, she would soon and that she would be fine.
Then a couple of weeks, before she died, she said she didn't know if she was dreaming or if it was real, but she was in bed, she couldn't move or talk, but she could see her husband standing over her. Again, I thought maybe he had dropped a date rape drug in her drink.
The last time I spoke to my daughter was 6/16/08 at 8:30 at night. She was getting things ready for the meeting with her divorce lawyer, they were going to court shortly. She told me she would never let her husband have her daughter, because she didn't trust him with her. She told me he was a pervert and she was afraid he might do something to her, or hurt her. My granddaughter stuck like glue to her mother, just like my girls did with me. They went everywhere together. They were inseparable. Laura would stay out until 7 or 8 at night, just so she wouldn't have to listen to him yell and scream at her. Once he started while her daughter was getting a bath, so she locked the door and turned all the water on to help block out his voice, for her daughter's sake.
On 6/18/08 Laura went to bed around 11 pm and never woke up. He tried to convince us that Laura was taking his ambiem pills, so she could sleep at night and fat burners pills during the day. My daughter never needed anything to help her sleep, she always needed her 8 hours. Even her friends knew that, they told me that when Laura and her daughter would come to their home, she would stay late because of her husband and always wind up falling asleep. She was with her friends quite often.
I know that, my daughter was excited about moving on with her life. Almost a year before her death, she spent over $10,000.00 on her body. I know that she did not need any medication to help her sleep. Laura was very health conscience, she always told her daughter that you never takes pills, unless I say, because they could hurt you. I also know that she would never let her husband have their daughter, it was never an option.
On 6/19/08 Laura's husband called me at 6:45 am and told me he was following behind the ambulance taking Laura to the hospital. He was pretending he was crying, but I know the difference, he cried to me all the time, when I was in Florida. He told me, he couldn't wake Laura up, and she just didn't look right. Of course, they were in separate bedrooms. This was the only phone call I received from him. Once he was at the hospital, he had his neighbor, who he had called to come to the hospital, who was a police officer, call me. He also had him take my granddaughter back to his house to play with his daughter. When the officer called me, he told me they were still working on my daughter. The first thing I said to the officer was,"I KNOW HE'S HURT MY DAUGHTER." The officer (friend of husband) told me, I told him, it would be in his best interest to be perfectly honest with the police, or it will come back to bite him. The next time the officer/his friend called was to tell me my daughter was gone. I TOLD HIM, I KNOW HE KILLED MY DAUGHTER. NEVER, did the officer that was sent to the hospital, or any other officer from the Crime Unit, call to ask me any questions! No one ever called me, to ask me any questions, to see if I knew anything. When I spoke to the Attorney General's Chief Investigator, he told me, they were led to believe at the hospital by Laura's husband and neighbor officer that she had committed suicide. They just took their word. Therefore, NO investigation was ever done, they just cleared everything right at the hospital. How could they do that?? Where is Laura's justice?? The police never went to the home or the hospital. They asked NO questions of Laura's neighbors, friends or relatives. Why? On the Action News Video, their spokesperson said, all we had was a dead woman. Well, the next step is to investigate, not just take the word of the one who should be the first suspect or person of interest.
Bob White was the sheriff at the time of my daughter's death. He was going through a re-election and asked me if I would hold off going to the News Media until after the election. He said, he would jump right on Laura's case after the election. Well, he won the election and went hunting for a month. I was NOT happy. My private detective, Mike Peasley, went to State Attorney Bernie McCabe and explained what had happened, with the sheriff. Needless to say, Bob White decided to retire like a month after his election.
When I called State Attorney Bernie McCabe's office, they sent me to the Attorney's chief investigator Doyle Jourdan, who investigated the police He was the one that told me what happened at the hospital, that caused them NOT to investigate. He said, they were lead to believe that Laura overdosed/committed suicide. George had called Sgt Ramon Cosme, who lived a few doors down from my daughter's house, and asked him to come to the hospital to pick up my granddaughter. Laura was best friends with Ramon's wife. Ramon was the only one that called me from the hospital. I told him, I knew that George hurt my daughter. When he called me back to say Laura was gone, I told him I knew George had killed my daughter. Now when Mike Peasley asked Ramon about this, he said, he didn't remember me saying that. It's not like we didn't know each other, and you don't forget something like this, when you know the person. I watched Ramon, at the funeral in Florida, to see if he was watching George but he just kept starring at me I guess he was trying to intimidate me. I knew then there was something seriously wrong. He never said one word to me.
The morning after I got to Florida, I was calling the sheriff's office every day to try and get help, getting my daughter's things. They kept telling me there was nothing they could do and that I would have to call back next week. I told them that would be to late and George would have destroyed everything by then. Someone is dead and no one will talk to you. When I finally spoke to Det Tucker, (who was the only officer sent to the hospital and answered the phone when I called the police station,) and told him he didn't do his job, he asked me to hold on. When he got back on the phone, he told me I would have to call back.
Sgt Sessa from the sheriff's office was the one in charge of my daughter's case. He lied to me on the phone and told me he didn't get Laura's case until 4 days after her death, when indeed he was the one called. I know these people got paid off. I think somebody needs to make Ramon give up George or lose his job. In my eyes, he is just as guilty as George.
Also my ex-husband told George, that I told him I knew George killed Laura. Then, my ex-husband and his wife went back to Florida in my place. Once George had his girlfriend move in with him, George paid for half of a house and my ex-husband paid the other half so he could move a few houses down from George.
