I'm just coming back after an extended absence due to computer problems. I did see one article via FB a while back with some details mentioned by Sigg himself, and it just turned my stomach so badly. If any of you remember, I was having a hard time with this particular case due to how closely it hit home for myself and my family. I wanted to say that I have nothing but praise for the Jeffco and Westminster LE agencies, and the courts (at least the part of the courts I am dealing with). They have helped me tremendously, and I have been able to request the necessary records, and get updated on my daughter's case(s). I was wrong on a few things (I think some laws changed re: juvenile SOs), but overall, I am in a much better place, and I hope to be able to follow this case now that I'm online again. I think it would do me a world of good to see the verdict/sentencing announced and know Sigg will never get out...
I feel so badly for Jessica's family, and Sigg's family as well. I cannot imagine the heartbreak and agony. I think of them often, and pray for them as well.
As for those of you on this thread here at WS - I have to thank you for the support you gave me when I first got here to the site, and reading through and commenting on this case.
You all have helped me in dealing with what happened to my own children years ago in that neighborhood, and without some of the advice and support I received here - even indirect support and information - I don't think I could have faced it, and would have been stuck in that PTSD haze. So again, thank you all who are on this page, and have conversed with me. :grouphug:
I will be forever grateful, and perhaps even I think this is something that Jessica herself has had a small hand in looking down from heaven, and seeing all the people who have come to love her - even those of us who never knew her.
So, dear Jessica, if you did have a hand in giving me a bit of strength so that I was better able to come to terms with, and help my daughters better than before, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. I so wish this had never happened to you though... I will never forget you, and I will be praying that the monster that did this to you is never able to hurt anyone ever again.
[I know this may sound strange to some people, but I'm a firm believer that even in the worst of circumstances we can find some positives - that silver lining in the storm clouds, so to speak... I hope I have not offended, or hurt anyone with my statements above. I just wanted to express that even through her suffering, this beautiful child is touching others in a very positive way.]
