ATTENTION MOMS AND DADS:
When your daughter (or son) gets involved with a lowlife dirtbag that you absolutely despise, DO NOT just simply let it run it's course and say "it's her life and nothing I can do about it."
Do everything in your power to run this person off, even if you have to kidnap your child and hold them hostage.
Because Jessie Davis' family certainly knew this guy was bad news. It's possible that they're all a bunch of lowlife dirtbags, so this cop seemed like a good catch to them. But certainly there were other problems before this - you don't have a loving, great relationship, then whack someone out of the blue.
I felt the same way with Laci Peterson. The Mom was saying that there was never any indication that Scott Peterson was a killer, but I don't think someone just wakes up one day and says, "Gee, I think I'll kill my wife." Certainly he had personality problems before that.
