Jennifer Johnson, the TBI spokesperson on Larry King Live a few nights ago, basically said it does not appear abuse is involved. If you haven't seen her statements, I will be glad to send them to you. Also from what I know about the Winkler family, through friends who know them up close and personal, there is absolutely no need to fear that any harm will come to Matt's daughters. I wish all these media sluts talking about the abuse allegation would play what Jennifer Johnson said on LKL to their audience to give them fair and balanced coverage.
I've heard a vague rumor from a couple of places that Mary had drifted apart from her father after her mother's death in 1999. Since Mary is the one that killed her husband, and Matt was the victim, it makes sense to me that the children should be with Matt's family.
I agree with you. I was more referring to (at least at one time)her attorney etc. floating that abuse (verbal, etc. etc.)theory.
