Erik and Lyle had received their life sentences, this shook many people as many believed that they really were innocent - And they were the real victims. They did it because they needed to survive. You felt a great connection with the youngest, Erik and even attended the boy's trial in person. You were practically the same age, you started sending him love letters in prison and letters of comfort, especially when you learned that Lyle, his brother, had been sent to another prison separate from his brother, even though Leslie, Erik's lawyer, tried as much as possible to stay together. According to your visits with him, you even introduced your four-year-old daughter/son to him. Erik with open arms automatically welcomed him as the new father. You were a widow, you had lost your husband before your daughter/son even changed their steps. Obviously you took the child and were going to visit him without his family knowing. When you couldn't visit him, he never stopped sending you romantic letters and you automatically responded, like two high school lovebirds.
