That probably is him.



From http://johnsville.blogspot.com/

She is 27-years-old, her birthday is July 16, 1978.

She is the youngest of three children raised in a working-class Durham neighborhood.

Ms. Mangum graduated from Hillside High School, Durham, N.C. in 1996.

She joined the Navy in the fall of 1996 - signing up for an eight-year enlistment -- two years of active duty followed by six years in the reserves.

Ms. Mangum began active duty in the summer of 1997 and was sent to school in Dam Neck, Va., near Virginia Beach. She trained for a job operating radios and navigation equipment.

She married a man 14 years her senior in the fall of 1997. His first name is "Kenneth." She taught him how to read and write.

She and her husband moved to Concord, Calif., where Mangum was assigned to the USS Mount Hood, an ammunition ship. Reportedly:

She was often away at sea for days or weeks, and tensions flared in the marriage, her former husband said.

"She was young," he said.

Along the way, the woman became interested in another sailor, a man who would later father her children, the former husband said. The two separated as the new relationship began, he said. Six months later, she was discharged from the service.

Ms. Mangum is divorced with two children, ages 5 and 7.

She was a full-time student at North Carolina Central University this semester. Ms. Mangum is a police psychology student with a 3.0 grade average.

Ms. Mangum was working for the Allure Escort Service when she went to the Duke Lacrosse party. Ms. Mangum had worked for an escort company for two months, doing one-on-one dates about three times a week.

"It wasn't the greatest job," she said, her voice trailing off. But with two children, and a full class load at N.C. Central University, it paid well and fit her schedule.


Consider this. What if all of that is true? What if she is all of those things? And add manic to it--what do you have?

I have a friend who is manic and when she has an episode, the personality change is amazing. She is sweet, would do anything for anyone, somewhat shy, a good Mom who loves her kids.

She has had several episodes since I have known her, but this last one was a doozy. It took me a while to get it. One day I asked her husband. Yes, she was in the middle of an acute, full blown manic episode. But to everyone else, she was just "crazy." She believed every lie she told and those lies usually involved someone hurting her physically or emotionally. IOW, MAJOR paranoia.

Now I feel bad for my friend because I know her..but I am not feeling sorry for Crystal. No way, no how.
But that might explain why the attorney wants those records going back to her school days.

Just something to chew on for a while.

You think she's manic because she's carrying a full class load?

That's twelve hours a week - minus coffee breaks.
