I want to take you guys back to 2002. I was living in Cooper City, Florida in a huge house with all my stripper family. Kristen and I were inseparable. We did everything together. So when her two younger sisters Amanda and Danielle were coming to visit Miami for the first time, it was Kristen and I who were to show them a good time. We took them to South Beach and we took a trip to Orlando to take them to Universal, where Kristen and I loved to get away and blow off some Miami steam.
I instantly formed a bond with Amanda. Danielle is a great girl but something about Amanda’s personality really connected with mine. She had a saying she brought down from Buffalo that I still use to this day. She would say, “Oh Shit Son” with a Harlem, Eastern New York slang to it. At that time I was rockin Sean Jean sweat suits and K Swiss tennis shoes. I had so many pairs of K Swiss, all shinny white. Once they were scuffed, I’d get a new pair. Amanda and I ran around Universal sayin O Shit son. Hanging upside down in Dr. Seuss land was my most vivid memory of the short time I had with her.
Fast Forward to 2004. I’m in Buffalo with my future ex husband. We’re visiting Kristen for a funeral. Not Amanda’s, she was there. Their mother Leslie opened her home to us. We had taco night and went trick or treating with Kristen’s nieces. They are a normal family just trying to make it. The house was full of love and of course normal sibling rivalry, but that’s everywhere. I left Buffalo with fond memories of the family. Kristen is and always has been a sister to me. I’ve been through deeper things with her than my own sisters. We’ve fought together, bleed together, cried together and laughed together…laughed so much sometimes we cried from laughter.
I left Buffalo and my life went on. I had children and Kristen lost a child. Then she had children. Every change we were there for each other. If not physically, a phone call away.
Fast Forward again to December 5, 2008, I get a phone call from Kristen. She’s crying. I can feel the chills creeping up my legs and the lump in my throat as I attempt to remenice on that moment. That moment in time when our lives would never be the same. Kristen is crying and she says Amanda is missing.
They looked for her day in and day out for 8 weeks. 8 weeks the family didn’t give up. Then January 9th 2009 they found Amanda.
Not the smiling blonde hair, blue eyes, wanted to be a model, full of life and full of laughter Amanda we all knew
They found Amanda naked, frozen and upside down in a garbage tote. Exactly where she was last seen and dropped off.
Can you imagine what a freakish pedophile can do to young woman in 8 weeks??? She didn’t die when she was missing. He tortured and fucked her until he was done with her. Then when she would no longer perform for him and her body died and gave out, he just threw her out with the trash.
Her body was BEATEN! RAPED! and MURDERED!
Buffalo police were quick to brush the investigation off as an accidental overdose.
The family didn’t believe that and they didn’t give up.
This next excerpt I copied from JusticeforAmanda.com a page the family has created to spread the word and they have a go fund me set up to pay for reward.
“Ruled by Four of Erie County’s medical examiners that Amanda dies of a accidental overdose. We had Amanda exhumed where we had a private autopsy done. The manner of death was determined to be homicide due to strangulation! Amanda’s death has brought up one thing after another that made it just a little more concrete that our judicial system was attempting to sweep this under the rug! Erie County refused to release all of the evidence to our private medical examiner Dr Silvia Comparini. We fought for this evidence to be released to us. they did rule in our favor, but we still to this day are waiting for 12 slides. When we exhumed Amanda there was multiple organs missing from her remains. Erie County claimed they didn’t know where they were! They never told us there was GHB in Amanda’s system. Or that Adam Patterson’s or Antoine Garner’s DNA was on Amanda, until a paper fell out during a meeting with our attorneys. To say they were upset was a understatement Dr. Malone (assistant medical examiner) slammed the door taking the file exclaiming “the meeting was over”! Fingerprints were never ran on Garbage can Amanda was found in. Even though detectives said they asked multiple times. The public knows as well as our family Amanda was murdered! Not only did monsters murder her, but our own judicial system has failed us!! They covered up Amanda’s murder! There is so much evidence but still Amanda’s murderers remain uncharged and her death certificate says accidental. Follow my family and support us in our journey to get justice!!”
The family created a petition. With the help of a few volunteers and friends and family members, the petition is growing.
Now they need to have her DNA retested and the family is saving for that. The hearing is right around the corner.
It is my belief that there is a mole in the organization. Justice for Amanda took on humanitarians to help the busy family when there was just so much to do.
One individual started using the page for his own personal agenda. Kristen and the family decided they didn’t need his help. Now he’s personally attacking the family. Trying to get the go fund me reported as fraud. William, if you’re a humanitarian like you say. Who cares about any personal vendetta you have. The important fact here is Amanda gets justice.
I know the family personally. I’ve witnessed their grieving. I’ve seen years of tears shed. I stood by and watched every year a family not give up on their loved one.
So what if you got booted off the case. You have no right to distract the matter at hand. That matter is Amanda and her Justice. The go fund me is for her!!! Not your personal use. The people who liked that page that you took, liked it because they want to know and be a part of what happens to Amanda’s case. Any humanitarian wouldn’t have taken this completely out of context like you. I believe you we hired by Buffalo PD to distract the investigation. If I’m wrong, step off and let the family find their Justice.
