Yessss thank youuuuu. She's a breath of fresh air. It's so refreshing to see her pursuing this work, justice for the victims, and interacting gently with the family members of the victims with professionalism and skill balanced perfectly with radical authenticity and compassion...not afraid to show her humanity, emotions, and feminine sensitive side. Rarely indeed do you EVER see a journalist or reporter cry on camera--it's really hard to believe and connect with them sometimes. You wonder if it's all an act for the money or ratings.... *cough* Ashleigh Banfield *cough*. But not with Ana.🥹 She truly represents that "mom, grandma, best friend, sister, cousin" energy. She's every real, supportive, empathetic, safe and familiar female friend--ready to lend an ear and shoulder to cry on, ready to support and advocate--caring deeply about the victims and family. We need more Ana Garcia's out there! ❤ (okay, I'm done Stan'ing for Ana, I swear. lolol)

@@SgtWaters How could they even charge him with that? That can't prove he even lied about Burger King. There is nothing beyond words of others saying they had a relationship. There is no diary, no pictures, no videos of them together. What mistakes did they make? I would love to know. They found fricking cat hair in the back of a pick up and matched them to her cat. You know nothing about this case. The family doesn't place blame on the police or prosecutors. I can assure you you don't know anyting. Yes people have been convicted without a body, but they had more evidence than a cat hair. Also, it is still very very rare that you convict someone without a body. You act like it happens everyday.

When people have cancer…obviously they are devastated and are looking for anything to be cancer free…..any miracle. I am shocked that TBN had her on their channel touting a “cure all” for cancer without fact checking. They should be held accountable as well. Well…if and or when this “doctor” gets cancer…just give her some of her “miracle cure”. See how she does with that! 🙏 for all the victims and their families.

Many times there have been stories about Patti Atkins. Don't they think it may have been possible that she was killed by carbon monoxide by laying in the back of that truck with a cover over the bed. She apparently had to be back there for awhile. It was said before that the guy she was going away with had to take a co-worker home because they rode together to work. She may have been already dead when he finally stopped the truck to get her out of the back, he panicked and then hid her body to keep his wife from finding out about his plan to cheat on her.

[@stacyjaye6350]

That actually makes a lot of sense. My friends and I drove across country in my Toyota long bed pickup, and took turns sleeping in the back. It was summer though and we weren't covered up. There was a tonneau cover over the truck though. I have looked back on that and I can't believe we made it alive.

[@mamabearmaeziebear8894]

That seems a little far fetched. Either way. If that was the circumstance, he should have done something about it.
