The story as told by one of her parents of the marijuana growing incident is very telling for me. Basically they said when JA was in the 8th grade, they found out that Jodi and some of her friends had what I would call, a juvenile criminal enterprise growing marijuana. Jodi's parents found a potted plant on their roof(!) and they called the police on her as a statement of how serious this was. Jodi must have been a very rebellious child and young teen. I suspect when her parents called the cops on her, it broke whatever trust they had with her. It may have actually turned her even more against them. Her mother stated that when Jodi had moved to another house Jodi didn't want her to visit her there as she was afraid her Mom would snoop though her things. This family traveled a very rocky road.
