"Yes, hello!" I started, stumbling on my words.
"My name is Kristiana Edwards, daughter of Christian Edwards."
It felt weird saying my maiden name, it's not something I use a lot because I'm married and the name brings back too many memories.
I continued "I'm calling because I would like to see some footage from the camera at Lincoln and 1st Ave. from a very long time ago."
"Ma'am I'm afraid we can't grant access to see footage to people without authority to do so, do you have authority?"
I knew it was to good to be true!
"No , but, you don't understand ma'am I" I started, but the lady cut me off.
"No I understand perfectly that I can't let you see the footage without authority. Have a good day Mrs. Edwards."
Then the line was dead.
After the lady hung up I explained to my mom that we would need to be granted authority to see the footage and that the lady on the phone was a jerk and in no way helped me to find what I needed.
"Well, we could go to court and try to be granted access there." my mom suggested
" I guess but I don't really want to get involved with a bunch of court stuff. plus I really would like to figure some things out on my own."
"Okay, just, at least keep it in mind please!"
" I will." I replied
After that my mom left and I tried to find out what I could to continue searching for the truth.
To try to "dig deeper" into this case , I went through some of my dads old files that I transferred to my computer.
I knew at one point my dad went to therapy to try and sort out his suicidal thoughts, so I found the therapists number and called her.
When I called my dads therapist, I got her voicemail at her work, then I heard her leave her personal number on the message so I called that number and she immediately picked up.
" Hello this is Kristiana Edwards, I don't know if you remember me but I'm Christian Edwards daughter."
" Of course I remember you!" she replied "How are you what's going on?"
"I'm good!" I told her " I actually just had my second child."
"Wow I can't believe it has been this long since we've seen each other!"
"I know! Listen um, do you think we could meet at the coffee shop this Saturday, I have some things to talk about? Its kind of important."
"Um would Saturday work? I have an appointment Saturday."
"Ya that's fine." I told her "I'll just have to get a babysitter because my husband Ansel has a charity basketball game Sunday."
"Okay, great! I'll see you Sunday!" The therapist, Mrs. Kate said
" Alright see you then!" I said the hung up.
