Kendall, 48, was diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia. The mother of three was addicted to crack cocaine. She was a convicted thief and a prostitute.

In the 1980s, Kendall was hospitalized for mental illness and became addicted to crack cocaine. By the time she gave birth to her youngest child, Crystal, she was convinced she was unfit to care for her children. She sent Crystal and Dawn to be raised by their father. Kendall-Mahns lived with an aunt out of state.
Things got only worse. Kendall would disappear for weeks at a time, and when she appeared at the home of her brother, Craig Bulger, in Kissimmee, she was anxious and terrified.
"She was always worried, like someone was going to get her," Bulger said.
Doctors diagnosed Kendall with paranoid schizophrenia, Bulger said, and Kendall took to sleeping in the cold, beneath highway overpasses. She refused to go indoors.
