I'm having a bad moment right now. Today I received from the court lots of documents from court over Ashleigh's murder case. There is a lot to read and look over. I'm really just getting started but in just flipping thru them I came across a small statement done by Ashleigh herself. It was written 2 years ago on the 4th of July. I didn't expect to see that. I can see her handwriting and signature before me plain as day. What is worse I can hear her voice as I read it. I remember the terror she experienced that day. The statement reads.....
My ex-fiancé, Joshua Mahaffey called me this evening around 10pm. He was able to tell me exactly what I was wearing to work. He says, he will see me tomorrow at some time. He then called me as I went to leave my house and asked, "why I was leaving?" He then threatened me saying his friend would beat my mouth shut and they were going to take the baby from me. He threatened my friend Jordan and Robert saying they would be beaten within an inch of their lives. We then called the police. He has created over 20 fake Facebooks. Two of the Facebooks have my name on them. He has harassed every friend I went to high school with trying to find me. Ashleigh Lindsey
She called me crying and scared. I was on the phone with her as she talked with police that night. It has sent me back to that awful place in time. It is heartbreaking!!! People don't understand what it is like to lose a child let alone enduring the terror of madmen determined to kill her.
Here is what is even more heartbreaking..........tonight there is another woman out there, actually several making the same report and facing the same terror. And within and matter of days her mother will be weeping over her baby girl. This is the real face of Domestic Violence!!! Help others become aware......make yourself aware. If anything gives Ashleigh's death meaning it is every life that is saved because it changed someone's heart and they got out.
I'm sure tonight will be a night of tears as I finish looking over the court documents and as I mourn, I will pray no one else has to ever feel this way again. And I will cry out Ashleigh's name before I go to sleep tonight and ask for the good memories to flood my dreams.
