What was and is the impact on you and the family on the mystery surrounding her death, and the publicity surrounding the tragedy?
~Ken MacQueen, Maclean’s magazine (question to Melanie Hack)

For privacy reasons, I can only speak about myself.

And for me it never goes away. It’s something I live with. I am also cautious of what I say after seeing how words can be twisted and misunderstood.

Today I like to believe I would have been able to help Cindy more if I had known more of what was happening to her. Back then I had had a lot of faith in the police and other assistance she was getting and was not conscious of how I was being manipulated by certain people. At the inquest, it dawned on me how early on in the harassment the police were questioning the truth of what Cindy was telling them.

Coming soon…“Can you describe how your sister’s personality changed over the years before her death?”
