"The private investigator my family hired was a big reason we ever even
went to trial in the first place. He was a wonderful man and helped my
family through many obstacles over the course of the investigation. Not
much was being done, in the beginning, because there was no body of
evidence. Even when it was all said and done, justice was not served.
The sentences handed out to the Roger family, were basically just a slap
on the wrist, Michelle included. She was sentenced to 17 years and
only served five. What happened to my family was deplorable and we have
never been the same since. Not a day goes by that I don't think of
David and how our lives would be vastly different if he had never gone
to Florida and met Michelle. Nothing can be said or done to make that
all go away. I carry it with me always. But had it not been for the
investigator and the witnesses testimony, we never would have received
the little justice that we got."
