Lillians body was found buried in the yard outside the bedroom she once occupied. That room is now occupied by the girls sister. In a stranger-than-fiction twist, John divorced Sharon while she was in jail and remarried. The woman he married also has an adopted daughter who is Lillians biological older sister.
Tesselaar says John told him about the new wife and stepdaughter the day Lillians body was found. John didnt know about the connection to Lillian and his son, James, Lillians biological brother when he met his new wife. Both children were adopted by John and Sharon in 1999. James still lives with John and his stepmother and biological sister. (from the bigbeargrizzley link below)
How horrible for the little girl to find out her sister was buried outside her bedroom window all these years!
I'm not sure I quite understand how John adopted his own children, not knowing who they were. Am I totally confused??
