but it was a hollow victory for the culberson family. yes, we did convict the man who took my daughter s life, but yet we still didn t have what we wanted most and that was carrie. even though this case in ohio is providing kathy and angel some hope that rudy and charlie might one day be brought to trial, there s no justice that will compensate their loss. if i had to choose kristine s body or rudy in jail, i d much rather find kristine and take care of her. as far as i m concerned he won. he robbed my sister of her life. she was 34 years old. she had her whole life ahead of her. neither charlie nor rudy has been charged with any crime in connection with the disappearance of anna or kristine. we tried repeatedly to contact both men as well as their lawyers or others who might speak on their behalf. ....
rudy has since stopped talking. he did, however, speak to police briefly ten days after kristine s disappearance. he has not been charged with any crime. a lot of the questions at the time that he was interviewed weren t answered because his attorney was present and advised him not to answer certain questions. where is kristine? where is kristine? kathy, however, would not let rudy s silence deter her. i wanted him to keep knowing that she was loved, that she is not forgotten, and he s just not going to get away with it. you can t get away with murder. when we come back i called the police because it s been a couple days. and they tell me, oh, she s off in atlantic city somewhere. she would never have left her dog. she would never have left her money. she would have called. ....
