Sylvia Smith, one of Dana’s college roommates, tells Nikki that Dana was mentally well adjusted until she returned from Christmas break in her senior year. Her personality forever changed, implying that she’d experienced some traumatic event. What crossed your mind at this point?

This is when I started suspecting Joe. I initially thought he had sexually assaulted her when she was home, and the custody battle had her confronting him.

I thought she may have been sexually assaulted over Christmas break. I actually never thought about Joe.

I agree. I thought perhaps Joe had sexually assaulted her.

Same - I thought she had been sexually assaulted - not sure if I had thought it was Joe at that point.

Yep. Joe finally fully earned my earlier suspicions but I thought he’d sexually assaulted Dana.
