Seems like she's more worried about her boyfriend than finding her daughter's murderer. I'm always mystified at the women who seeming abandon their families for some new guy who comes along.
Well, this isn't exactly one of those situations. As I understand it, (1) there was no "family" for Noel Miller to abandon (she and Andy Christie, the bio father, split before their baby was born), and (2) Casey Frederiksen is/was a very close friend of Christie's and I gather he has pretty much been by Miller's side since Evelyn's birth.
I suspect the use of the term "fiance" to describe Frederiksen is contributing to the readers' misunderstanding of these facts. He's been around long enough to father two children by her; has anyone seen mention of a set wedding date?
