- This is going to be an attempt
to remember the African dance from yesterday.
Well, some of the steps because I don't remember it all.
Bop.
- The day Mary died, the world lost someone truly,
truly good and wonderful.
Now the whole world is a little darker without Mare here.
- I thought that the world was a good place,
that good things were gonna happen to me.
- I hate the defendant with every bone in my body
and every drop of blood in my veins.
I hate Kaitlyn Anne Conley
because Kaitlyn Anne Conley murdered my mother.
- I never thought that anyone would ever call me
a killer or a murderer.
I introduced her to my family.
I got her a job with my parents.
And if I hadn't done those things,
my mother would still be alive.
For this to happen,
I can't quite wrap my mind around it.
It's hard.
Sorry.
With all due respect
to the justice system,
I'm innocent.
I want to know, why am I here?
And what broke?
Why didn't they get the right person?
I want to know that.
Today, another beautiful, warm, humid day,
I would assume at some point.
64 right now
to kick off our Wednesday here in Central New York.
- Pretty white girl standing trial for a murder
that she may have or may not have done?
It's a great story.
People feel sorry for her.
But in reality, my personal take on it,
I think she's guilty.
- I've known the Conleys for 34 years.
Yeah.
Great people.
- She's trying to play the victim like,
"I was a 'doe-eyed,'" you know,
and I don't think that's true.
Well, I'm not buying this Little Miss Innocent game.
- Kaitlyn Conley was guilty as sin.
I am willing to side with the juries.
- It's a crime of pure darkness.
It is a diabolical crime.
- Yeah, so it wasn't just a quick death, was it?
- Just because it's Sauquoit doesn't mean
that bad things can't happen in this small town.
- I'm good. I'm good.
I'm ready.
What, unburden my soul?
I don't know. I'm good.
I sleep fine at night,
besides being in prison.
I was sentenced to 23 years.
I met Mary through her son, Adam.
I had dated him for a couple years.
They needed a receptionist at their chiropractic office.
They knew I was responsible, so they hired me for that.
Mary was very sunny, very beautiful.
Everyone loved her.
I think she saw me as, like, a daughter figure,
and that was nice.
We definitely got along well.
I was much closer with Mary
because there was always something about Bill
that I didn't feel comfortable with.
Bill was much more aloof,
and some people found him to be off-putting.
Mary was so outgoing and effusive and welcoming,
and people really gravitated to that.
Everybody loved my mom.
She just-- she just was happiness,
happiness and love and light, just...
- My parents were very much in love, still.
They had gone through chiropractic college together,
and they started their business together.
It was a normal day at the office.
I got there first.
Mary got there a little bit after 8:00.
Everything was normal.
It was a normal busy day until the end of the day
when she started getting sick.
She was running to the bathroom.
And when it came time to close the office,
she just left very suddenly.
- I received a text from my father
on a Tuesday morning,
and he said that my mom had been throwing up
and had some vomiting and diarrhea.
They thought that it just seemed to be
some kind of viral gastrointestinal illness.
I didn't know how sick she really was
until I got a text from Adam
that she was at the hospital.
We'd been broken up for about ten months,
but Adam had asked me to come to the hospital, so I did.
And the family was there.
And that's when I started to understand
how serious the situation was because she was in ICU.
- Went in and saw her, and it was--
she was--her eyes just looked terrified.
She had a trach tube in,
and she was trying to mouth around it,
but she couldn't really talk.
Her heart kept stopping.
- At that time, it really did seem like a mystery.
No one really knew what was happening or why.
- In less than 48 hours, my mom went
from her typical, happy, healthy self,
seeing patients in an office, to having died.
- I couldn't wrap my head around it.
I couldn't understand how she could possibly have died,
and they didn't know how or why.
And I wanted answers.
At the end of the day, when we were standing
outside the hospital doors in the parking lot,
I remember giving Katie and Adam a hug
and telling Katie, "Take care of him,"
thinking that he was gonna need
that emotional support from her.
And then--
Of course--
oh, it makes me sick to think of it now.
I miss Mary.
And I really hate
that this situation has kind of colored
my relationship with her, because I feel like
I can't really miss her
because I'm fighting for my own life.
So sometimes I look at all the cards on the table,
and I say, "Oh, my God, it must have been Bill."
And then I look at other things,
and I say, "No, no, no.
Adam must have been involved too."
But I know it wasn't me.
So if it wasn't me, who was it?
I grew up with my three younger sisters.
We were always together.
We were thick as thieves.
We were always playing games,
you know, chasing the horses and chickens.
It was a great way to grow up.
Katie is our oldest.
Is Katie a mommy's girl
or a daddy's girl?
- Daddy's girl. - She's daddy's girl.
She's daddy's girl.
She was shy, and she was very quiet and helpful.
There is no way that she could have changed
and been a Jekyll and Hyde.
I really thought that in my 20s,
I was going to work really, really hard,
find a partner, buy a house, have a career.
I met Adam for the first time
at my high school graduation party.
One of my friends brought him to my party.
- And we later found out that that was Adam Yoder.
He was not invited.
We didn't know him before.
Katie hadn't met him before.
And that was the first time
that we even knew that he existed.
Obviously, I liked him.
I thought he was quirky and fun.
And it wasn't bad at the beginning.
- This was really her first adult relationship.
And, um, it-- it seemed really great.
He'd show up with presents and flowers,
and they'd go on dates,
sometimes even let us little kid sisters tag along.
- I mean, I think all of the family
kind of treated Katie
as if she was more or less Adam's fiancée.
Like, we all expected that she was going to be
part of the family.
But Adam was very private.
We didn't know about the turmoil
going on in the relationship.
Adam was pretty intense.
He was always telling me how in love he was,
No comments yet. Be the first to leave one.
