That was my cousin...Leslie was loved and cherished by many...this was a senseless and heartless thing to do!
im sorry this had to happen to u n your family
I know you want to lay it to rest but I dont think he did it, im his friend and this onslaught of charges need to be dropped and a he needs to be left alone.
I am not impressed by your findings...that man did those crimes and DNA has already linked him to it! God will have the final say so in his life! I just want to see justice..what he did was un-human and dispicable! Leslie was loved and so were those other women he killed. The two women that got away from him will be coming forward and this might seem dragged out over the course of some years. But eventually his lawyers will have no damn choice but to give up and let the trial begin! I am patient ...it will happen..justice of the innocent lives he took WILL prevail !!!!!!
Got something to say?
