I don't believe that Lisa's uncle is a liar. I believe the letter was written after Maytee tried to place the blame at Lisa's feet. She tried to take Johnny and his friends and/or associates out of the equation. She claims the uncle was void of any emotion at the police station. Maytee has her way of grieving and he is entitled to his own way as well. Maytee claims that there was a safe because she states that Lisa's ex (BD) broke into the safe and stole money. They may have had a safe but that doesn't mean they had one at the time of the murders. She implied that she was the one that informed the uncle of his niece's death. The uncle found out when watching the early edition of the local news. The uncle is the Fire Chief and well respected in his community. It is uncharacteristic for him to have acted inappropiately at the police station. I think Maytee is in denial (understandably) that her son's past history or any of his friends/associates could have been a facter on that dreadful night. I believe she is in denial, she is angry and she is in pain and experiencing guilt. These are three of the 5 steps of the grieving process. Grieving tends to be unpredictable like a roller coaster ride. She is a victim and she is defensive. She wants to protect her son's name. I think that lashing out, venting on Facebook and casting a negative light on others makes her feel better in some way. I believe her behavior is a manifestation of her guilt, pain and anger.

Kitty1, I have no idea why the letter was sent - I don't recall Maytee laying the blame at Lisa's feet - she brought up the deranged ex-boyfriend but, I sure wouldn't call that laying the blame at Lisa's feet.

I didn't mean that she just recently said that about Lisa. Do you not recall that on JVM she stated that the murders had nothing to do with Johnny. That it was Lisa's neighborhood and that the murders were about Lisa and not Johnny. She claimed that it possibly was Lisa's ex. I'm really surprised that you do not recall that. And as far as casting a negative light she said that Lisa didn't get enough love at home so that is why she often stayed at Johnny's house. She stated that the Straubs should never had Johnny and Lisa house sit. They should have hired someone. She said they took Gotti.. "it isn't fair". The dog belonged to Lisa.
