Come christmas eve, Debora suggested to write a letter to Stephanie. Amanda started to write for over an hour. “I just asked her a lot of questions. Why are you doing this? What are you trying to accomplish at this point? You're hurting us all so bad. Please, let's try to work this out. Please call. Please tell us you're alive. Please be alive” (Amanda, Act 1). After the letter was finished, they took them outside and lit them on fire. They didn’t want to hear what Stephanie had to say. At this point they were done and she was on her own. Amanda and Debora said prayers that Stephanie would call, or came home safe.”I've never been so completely sad and just ruined. I mean, Stephanie wasn't even my child. She was just my sister and my best friend” (Amanda). Somehow, they knew that Stephanie was okay. “Stephanie was 14 years old, and she got herself down to Texas and got a job and lived in an apartment and paid bills”
