The KILLER was a controlling, abusive and intimidating monster. They worked out a LA FITNESS @ 20th street and Camelback. Before Jackie became involved with this creep, she was sweet, friendly and happy. SHe was married to a nice guy, and had 3 kids. After this UGLY FREAK came into her life, she became timid, always looked down, followed the freak around the gym, and talked to nobody. It was clear she was an abused and frightened woman.
