<\/p>\nEncounters with a serial killer: Pittsburgh sisters detail experiences with Heather Pressdee<\/p>\n
Heather Pressdee was a nurse who has admitted to killing three patients and trying to kill more than a dozen more.<\/p>\n
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tFOR THE RECORD, I THINK THAT HEATHER SHOULD HAVE TO FACE US. I WOULD LIKE TO FACE HER. THEIR MOTHER WAS TREATED BY A KILLER NURSE. I BEGGED ANYBODY TO HELP ME AND ALL MY FRIENDS AND FAMILY WERE SO MANY PEOPLE. TODAY, THE EXCLUSIVE VIDEOS BREAKING DOWN WHAT HAPPENED TO THEIR MOTHER. I TOLD THEM EVERY TIME I WANTED TO LIVE. DID YOU? WE HAD NOWHERE TO TURN. THE CHANGE. THESE DAUGHTERS NOW WANT TO SEE. I WANT BETTER PROTECTION FOR FOR ELDERLY PEOPLE AND FOR HELPLESS PEOPLE. AND FOR MENTALLY ILL PEOPLE. AND THE SCARS THIS HAS LEFT ON THEIR LOVED ONES AS WELL. IT COMPLETELY DESTROYED MY ENTIRE FAMILY. PLUS, THE LETTER I RECEIVED FROM HEATHER PRESTI WHEN I ASKED FOR HER RESPONSE FROM BEHIND BARS. FOR THE RECORD, STARTS NOW. WELCOME TO. FOR THE RECORD, I\u2019M MICHELLE WRIGHT. THIS MORNING I SPEAK WITH TWO WOMEN WHO SAY THEIR MOTHER WAS TREATED IN A LOCAL NURSING HOME BY A SERIAL KILLER. BECKY MOLNAR AND RHONDA NETZEL SAY AND HAVE PRESENTED PAPERWORK TO ME THAT SHOWS THEIR MOTHER WAS TREATED BY HEATHER PRESTI. PRESTI HAS PLEADED GUILTY TO KILLING AT LEAST THREE NURSING HOME PATIENTS AND TRYING TO KILL MORE THAN A DOZEN OTHERS AT NURSING HOMES ACROSS PENNSYLVANIA. INVESTIGATORS SAID HER METHOD WAS DELIVERING LETHAL DOSES OF INSULIN. BECKY AND RHONDA\u2019S MOTHER WAS NOT ONE OF THE VICTIMS THAT PRESTI PLEADED GUILTY TO TRYING TO KILL. BUT TODAY, THESE DOCTORS TELL ME PRESTI TREATED THEIR MOTHER AT PLATINUM RIDGE CENTER FOR REHABILITATION AND HEALING IN BRACKENRIDGE IN 2019 AND EARLY 2020, AND THAT PRESTI TOOK THEIR MOTHER OFF OF A MEDICATION THEY FEEL SHE NEEDED. PITTSBURGH\u2019S ACTION NEWS FOUR\u2019S REPORTING IN 2023 DETAILED PRESTI\u2019S TIME WORKING AT PLATINUM RIDGE, AND NOW ON. FOR THE RECORD, WE HEAR THE STORY OF THESE TWO DAUGHTERS. WHAT THEY SAY HEATHER PRESTI DID AND WHAT THEY\u2019RE ASKING TO HAPPEN NOW. AND JOINING ME NOW ARE BECKY AND RHONDA. HERE TO TALK ABOUT THEIR MOTHER, BARBARA, WHO PASSED AWAY IN 2020. AND THIS IS GOING TO BE A VERY DIFFICULT CONVERSATION I KNOW. SO I APPRECIATE YOU BOTH COMING IN TO TALK ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED. HEATHER PRESTI IS SOMEBODY THAT WE FOLLOWED VERY CLOSELY HER COURT CASE. SHE IS IN JAIL NOW FOR LIFE WITH NO CHANCE OF PAROLE. ADMITTED TO KILLING THREE PEOPLE IN NURSING HOMES, ATTEMPTED TO KILL 17 OR MORE OTHERS. AND YOU SAY THAT YOUR MOTHER WAS POSSIBLY ONE OF HER FIRST VICTIMS. WHY DO YOU SAY THAT? WE\u2019LL START WITH YOU. WELL, BECAUSE SHE TOOK OFF. SHE TOOK MY MOM OFF OF HER RISPERIDONE, AND SHE HAD HER SIGN A PULSE TO SAY THAT SHE WANTED NO MORE TREATMENTS, NO MORE DIALYSIS. THIS IS AFTER. BEFORE I KNEW WHAT HEATHER WAS DOING. I TOLD HER, BE VERY VIGILANT ABOUT HER MEDICATION, BECAUSE IF SHE DOESN\u2019T TAKE IT, SHE WILL RIP HER SHUNT OUT AND SHE WILL REFUSE DIALYSIS. I DIDN\u2019T REALIZE WHAT HEATHER WAS DOING AT THAT TIME, AND SHE DID TAKE MY MOM OFF HER RISPERIDONE, WHICH THEN CAUSED MY MOM TO REFUSE IT AND SAY THAT SHE WAS A PROFIT. MY MOM HAD HORRIBLE SCHIZOPHRENIA. SHE WAS VERY MENTALLY UNSTABLE WITHOUT HER MEDICINE. AND SO YOU KNEW THAT. AND THAT\u2019S WHY YOU WANTED HER TO STAY ON HER MEDICINE? YES. HEATHER SUGGESTED THAT SHE SIGN THIS PULSE, WHICH IS BASICALLY A LIVING WILL. YES. AND YOU WERE AGAINST HER SIGNING THAT? YES. HEATHER WANTED TO HURT PEOPLE. WE DIDN\u2019T KNOW THAT. WE. YOU WERE SUSPICIOUS FROM THE VERY BEGINNING. YES. AND YOU HAVE LOTS OF LEGAL DOCUMENTS TALKING TO AN ATTORNEY. ATTORNEY? THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH, THE DEPARTMENT OF AGING, I CALLED EVERYBODY, I CALLED EVERYBODY, AND I BEGGED EVERYBODY FOR HELP. HOW FRUSTRATING WAS THAT FOR YOU AS A FAMILY MEMBER? NOT BEING ABLE TO BE HEARD? I WAS UP 24 HOURS A DAY, PRETTY MUCH, AND I WAS CONSTANTLY LOOMING OVER MY MOM BECAUSE I WAS SO AFRAID OF WHAT WAS GOING ON. AND YOU TOOK VIDEOS OF YOUR MOM. WE\u2019RE GOING TO SHOW SOME OF THOSE. IF YOU COULD PULL SOME UP ON YOUR PHONE AND MAYBE TALK US THROUGH WHAT YOU WERE SEEING AND WHAT SHE WAS SAYING BACK TO YOU. SO DO YOU STILL NOT WANT DIALYSIS? DO YOU REALIZE WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU DON\u2019T GET IT? WHAT? NOTHING. YOU\u2019RE GOING TO DIE IF YOU DON\u2019T GET IT. MOM. I\u2019M NOT. WHY DO YOU SAY THAT? BECAUSE THAT\u2019S OVER. I HOPE TO GOD YOU\u2019RE GOING TO DIE IF YOU DON\u2019T GET DIALYSIS. DO YOU REALIZE THAT? I\u2019M NOT GOING TO DIE? WHY NOT? BECAUSE I\u2019VE ALWAYS BEEN DEAD. EVEN MY BODY. GOD DOESN\u2019T TALK TO PEOPLE DIRECTLY. MOM. HE DOES TO A PROPHET. SO EXPLAIN WHAT THAT IS BEFORE WE GO ON TO THE NEXT ONE. WHAT WAS GOING ON THERE? AND THAT? MY MOM OFFERED FOR RISPERIDONE AND THINKING THAT SHE DIDN\u2019T NEED DIALYSIS, SHE THOUGHT THAT SHE WAS A PROPHET OF GOD, A PROPHET. I MEAN, SHE, WHEN SHE WAS HAVING THE BAD SCHIZOPHRENIA THROUGH LIFE, SHE ALWAYS THOUGHT THAT SHE WAS WORKING FOR GOD, THAT SHE WAS A PROPHET, THAT SHE COULD DO THINGS, THAT IT WAS CRAZY. I MEAN, WHEN WHEN WE WERE YOUNG, WE WOULD JUST. I DON\u2019T KNOW HOW WE LIVED WITH IT, REALLY, BECAUSE IT WAS SO STRANGE. I MEAN, OUR FRIENDS THOUGHT, WOW, WHAT A STRANGE FAMILY. WE COULDN\u2019T REALLY HAVE FRIENDS OVER, AND SHE COULD BE VIOLENT OR SHE COULD BE RELIGIOUS. IT WAS A REALLY LIKE SYBIL. YEAH, VERY DIFFICULT FOR THE FAMILY. AND HERE YOU\u2019RE VIDEOING HER, AND YOU CAN CLEARLY SEE THAT SHE\u2019S VERY CONFUSED ABOUT WHAT THE DIALYSIS WOULD DO OR NOT DO. THAT WAS YOUR BROTHER TALKING TO HER. HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT WATCHING THAT NOW? YOU KNOW, I HATE I HATE TO WATCH THOSE VIDEOS, BUT YET ONCE IN A WHILE I HAVE TO BECAUSE IT\u2019S THE ONLY WAY I CAN HEAR HER VOICE. I JUST WANT TO HEAR HER VOICE AGAIN. I JUST WANT HER BACK. AND NOBODY CAN GIVE HER BACK TO ME. I CAN\u2019T, AND I CAN\u2019T EVEN HATE HEATHER ANYMORE. I HATED HER IN THE BEGINNING, BUT I CAN\u2019T. SHE\u2019S GOT TO BE SICK. A SICK PERSON, AND MAYBE SHE COULDN\u2019T HELP ONE OF MY MOM TO DIE ON HER OWN TERMS. YEAH, NOT BY BEING. THAT\u2019S WHY I TOLD THEM. GIVE HER SIX DAYS TO GET THIS MEDICINE BACK IN HER. AND WHEN THEY TALK TO ME ABOUT HOSPICE, I WOULD SAY NO HOSPICE YET, BECAUSE I THOUGHT THAT A PERSON SHOULD DIE IN THEIR OWN TIME, IN THEIR OWN WAY. NOT. BE INDUCED WITH OR INJECTED WITH MORPHINE OR OR DIE IN A STATE WHERE YOU\u2019RE NOT WITH YOUR FAMILY. THEY WOULDN\u2019T LET US IN. THEY WOULDN\u2019T LET US HOLD OUR HAND. SHE SHOULD HAVE DIED WITH ME. SHE SHOULD. I SHOULD HAVE BEEN HOLDING HER WHEN SHE DIED. AND I WASN\u2019T ALLOWED IN BECAUSE OF COVID, BECAUSE OF COVID, THAT\u2019S WHATEVER. THEY TOOK THEIR FINAL SWOOP IN ON HER BECAUSE AGAIN, WE WERE WASTING RESOURCES. SHOW US THE SECOND VIDEO. SECOND VIDEO IS AFTER I GOT EMERGENCY CUSTODY OF HER. RISPERIDONE KICKS IN WITHIN FIVE DAYS. SHE TELLS ME THE SAME THING. THAT\u2019S BASICALLY BECKY SAYING, PUT HER ON HER MEDS FOR FIVE DAYS AND THEN SHE DIED. YEAH, LET HER DECIDE. SHE TOLD ME SHE\u2019D DO IT. MOM, DIDN\u2019T YOU TELL ME YOU WOULD DO IT ONE MORE TIME? THAT\u2019S WHAT YOU ALL AGREE. AND FINALLY, IS THERE A THIRD VIDEO WHERE SHE SAYS SHE WANTS TO LIVE? AND THIS IS AFTER SHE WAS BACK ON HER RISPERIDONE. BACK TO NORMAL. I TOLD THEM EVERY TIME I WANTED TO LIVE. DID YOU? SO THAT\u2019S HER SAYING. WE EXPLAINED THAT. WHAT ARE WE HEARING THERE? WELL, THAT\u2019S HER BEING NORMAL. AND SHE\u2019S BASICALLY SAYING THAT SHE TOLD THEM EVERY TIME THAT SHE WANTED TO LIVE. BUT WHEN SHE WAS OFF OF HER MEDICINE, SHE DIDN\u2019T SAY THAT. SO THAT\u2019S NOW WHEN HEATHER PRESTI WAS SENTENCED. YOUR MOTHER\u2019S CASE WAS NOT PART OF WHAT PUT HER BEHIND BARS. HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT THAT? I\u2019M REALLY UPSET ABOUT THAT BECAUSE, AGAIN, THE ATTORNEY GENERAL SECRETARY TOLD ME THAT SHE\u2019S WHERE SHE NEEDS TO BE. SO BASICALLY BECAUSE SHE GOT LIFE AND 300 SOME YEARS, WHATEVER, THAT SHE\u2019S WHERE SHE NEEDS TO BE. I KNOW MY MOM\u2019S GOING TO BE RECOGNIZED. I WANT MY MOM RECOGNIZED AS ONE OF HER FIRST, ESPECIALLY AFTER HOW MANY LAWYERS, HOW MANY PEOPLE I REACHED OUT TO. I BEGGED ANYBODY TO HELP ME AND ALL MY FRIENDS AND FAMILY WERE SO MANY PEOPLE KNOW AND SAW WHAT I WAS GOING THROUGH, AND THEY WERE GIVING ME SUGGESTIONS ON WHO TO CALL. EVERYBODY I CALLED DIDN\u2019T MATTER. RONDA, HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT NOT BEING A PART OF WHAT PUT HER BEHIND BARS? I WANTED TO BE ABLE TO GO TO A HEARING, AND I WANTED TO ASK HER WHY SHE WOULD DO THAT TO SOMEONE WHO WOULD GIVE YOU THE SHIRT OFF HER BACK. SHE WOULD HAVE DONE ANYTHING FOR ANYBODY. SHE WAS SO KIND AND SO LOVING. THERE WASN\u2019T A PERSON IN THE WORLD THAT DIDN\u2019T MEET HER AND LOVE HER. SHE WAS JUST. SHE WAS LIKE AN ANGEL. SHE WAS. AND I THINK THAT I THINK THAT HEATHER SHOULD HAVE TO FACE US. I WOULD LIKE TO FACE HER. I WOULD LIKE TO ASK HER, WHY DID YOU DO THIS TO HER? WHY? WHY DID YOU PICK HER? BARBARA MOLNAR DIED IN 2020 AT THE AGE OF 83, ABOUT TWO MONTHS AFTER SHE WAS OUT OF THE CARE OF HEATHER PRESTI. AND STILL AHEAD ON, FOR THE RECORD, WOULD HAVE SAVED A LOT OF LIVES AND WOULD HAVE SAVED. I THINK MY MOM WOULD HAVE LIVED A LOT LONGER. YES, THESE SISTERS MESSAGE TO EVERYONE AFTER LOSING THEIR MOTHER. WELCOME BACK TO, FOR THE RECORD, AS I SPEAK MORE NOW WITH THE TWO SISTERS WHO SAY THEIR MOTHER WAS TREATED BY SERIAL KILLER NURSE HEATHER PRESTI AT A PITTSBURGH AREA NURSING HOME. I ASKED THEM WHAT THEY WOULD LIKE TO SEE CHANGED. NOW. I ALSO ASK THEIR THOUGHTS ON THE MORE RECENT CASE OF ALLEGED IMPOSTOR NURSE SHANNON WOMACK, WHO STATE POLICE BELIEVE USED MULTIPLE FALSE NAMES TO WORK AT HEALTH CARE FACILITIES THROUGHOUT PENNSYLVANIA AND OTHER STATES. AS OF THE TAPING OF THIS EPISODE, WOMACK HAS PLEADED NOT GUILTY TO SEVERAL CHARGES, INCLUDING ENDANGERING THE WELFARE OF CARE AND IDENTITY THEFT. TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT THESE SISTERS HAD TO SAY. WHAT DO YOU WANT THE STATE TO DO TO PROTECT OTHER FAMILIES? I WOULD LIKE TO SEE A LAW MADE. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE A LAW, AND I WOULD LIKE TO SEE IT CALLED BARBARA\u2019S LAW, SO THAT THIS DIDN\u2019T HAPPEN TO ANYBODY ELSE, SO THAT THEY WERE MORE VIGILANT WATCHING THE NURSING HOMES, MAKING SURE THAT THEY WERE INSPECTED PROPERLY, MAKING SURE THEY\u2019RE BEING FED NUTRITIOUS, GOOD FOOD, MAKING SURE THAT THE LAST DAYS OF THEIR LIVES WERE HAPPY ONES. WHAT IS YOUR MESSAGE TO OTHER FAMILIES? STAY WITH YOUR PARENTS. KEEP THEM AT HOME IF YOU CAN. IF THERE\u2019S ANY WAY TO KEEP THEM AT HOME, THAT OPTION. BUT IF ANYBODY DOES. DON\u2019T TRUST ANYBODY. YEAH, BECAUSE I SAW IT AFTER THE FACT. LIKE AS IT WAS PROGRESSING. BUT IN THE BEGINNING I REALLY THOUGHT SHE WAS A GOOD WOMAN. IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE THAT YOU\u2019D LIKE TO SHARE BEFORE I LET YOU GO? ONLY THE MESSAGE TO PEOPLE TO PLEASE. IF YOU LOVE YOUR PARENTS, IF YOU LOVE YOUR HUSBAND OR YOUR WIFE OR WHOEVER MIGHT BE NEED MIGHT NEED A NURSING HOME OR NEED HELP TO MAKE SURE IT\u2019S THE RIGHT HELP IN THE RIGHT PLACE AND JUST WATCH. JUST BE AWARE. THAT\u2019S THE MESSAGE IS BE AWARE. YOUR MOM PASSED AWAY IN 2020, BUT EVEN RECENTLY, WITHIN THE LAST FEW WEEKS, ANOTHER WOMAN PRETENDING TO BE A NURSE, ALLEGEDLY ACCORDING TO POLICE, WAS ARRESTED AND CHARGED WITH STEALING MEDICATION OUT OF ROOMS. NEVER TRAINED TO BE A NURSE. DID THAT BRING BACK A LOT OF ANGST FOR YOU? OF COURSE IT DID. SO IF SHE\u2019S STEALING MEDICATION, SOMEBODY\u2019S DOING WITHOUT THEIR MEDICATION. YOU KNOW, SPEAKING OF THAT, THE DAY THAT HEATHER WAS ON THE NEWS, I ACTUALLY COULDN\u2019T EVEN BELIEVE IT BECAUSE I WAS JUST SITTING THERE AND I WAS WATCHING MY PHONE, AND THEN I HEARD THE NAME IN MY HEAD POPPED UP, AND I LOOKED, AND I COULDN\u2019T BELIEVE IT. I COULD NOT BELIEVE I WAS IN 2023. I THINK IT WAS AFTER EVERYTHING THAT I WENT THROUGH AND LIKE THE DUST WAS STARTING TO SETTLE, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? YOU JUST COME TO TERMS WITH WITH LOSING YOUR MOM. AND I SAW THAT. I COULDN\u2019T BELIEVE IT. THE SHOCK OF MY LIFE. AND I SAID, WAIT A MINUTE, WAIT A MINUTE. AND I REWOUND THAT, AND THERE SHE WAS, YOUR MOM\u2019S NURSE. IT WAS MY MOM\u2019S NURSE. THE ONE WHO I COMPLAINED ABOUT ALL THAT TIME THAT NOBODY WOULD LISTEN. HOW DO YOU THINK THINGS WOULD BE DIFFERENT IF THEY HAD LISTENED TO YOU BACK IN 2020? WOULD HAVE SAVED A LOT OF LIVES. IT WOULD HAVE SAVED. I THINK MY MOM WOULD HAVE LIVED A LOT LONGER. YES. THAT TOO. SHE WAS TOUGH. FOR THE RECORD, HAS REACHED OUT TO PLATINUM RIDGE NURSING HOME FOR RESPONSE TO THIS INTERVIEW. THEY SAY THEY COULD NOT COMMENT ON THE MATTER, BUT NOTED THAT THE NURSING HOME IS UNDER DIFFERENT OWNERSHIP AND MANAGEMENT NOW THAN WHEN PRESTI WAS WORKING THERE. WE\u2019LL BRING YOU ANY UPDATES IN PITTSBURGH\u2019S ACTION NEWS FOUR AND ONLINE AT DOT COM AS THEY COME IN. AND COMING UP IN A LITTLE MORE THAN TWO MINUTES, THE LETTER I RECEIVED FROM HEATHER PRESTI WHEN I ASKED THE SERIAL KILLER NURSE TO SIT DOWN FOR AN INTERVIEW WITH, FOR THE RECORD. WELCOME BACK TO FOR THE RECORD. AFTER INTERVIEWING BECKY MOLNAR AND RHONDA NETZEL ABOUT THEIR MOTHER, WHO WAS ONCE IN THE CARE OF SERIAL KILLER NURSE HEATHER PRESTI. I REACHED OUT TO PRESTI, WHO IS CURRENTLY BEING HELD AT THE STATE CORRECTIONAL INSTITUTION IN MUNCY, LYCOMING COUNTY. I ASKED PRESTI FOR AN OPPORTUNITY FOR A SIT DOWN INTERVIEW. HOWEVER, SHE DECLINED. SHE WROTE TO ME, QUOTE, DEAR MICHELLE, THANK YOU, BUT I DO NOT WISH TO SPEAK OF MY CASE TO OPEN ANY WOUNDS FOR THE FAMILIES OR MY FAMILY\u2019S SAKE. THANK YOU AND KEEP IT. HERE WE HAVE A LOOK AT SOMETHING THAT YOU DIDN\u2019T SEE DURING LAST WEEK\u2019S SHOW. COMING UP RIGHT AFTER THE BREAK. WELCOME BACK TO FOR THE RECORD, AS WE WRAP UP THIS EPISODE, I WANTED TO BRING YOU SOMETHING YOU DIDN\u2019T SEE DURING LAST WEEK\u2019S SHOW, PART OF WHICH FOCUSED ON THE GROUP LIFE CHANGING SERVICE DOGS FOR VETERANS. DURING OUR INTERVIEW, THE PRESIDENT OF THAT ORGANIZATION, BILL JEFFCOAT, SHARED HIS STORIES AS A CANINE HANDLER DURING VIETNAM AND THE BOND HE DEVELOPED WITH HIS DOG FRAULINE. DURING THAT TIME. LISTEN TO HIS STORY. I TRULY DIDN\u2019T KNOW WHAT A DOG WAS GOING TO DO FOR ME. WE INTRODUCED YOU TO BILL JEFFCOAT DURING A RECENT EPISODE OF FOR THE RECORD. HE\u2019S THE PRESIDENT OF LIFE CHANGING SERVICE DOGS FOR VETERANS, AN ORGANIZATION THAT HELPS PROVIDE SERVICE DOGS TO VETERANS IN NEED. IN INTERVIEWING JEFFCOAT, I LEARNED OF HIS OWN STORY AS A K-9 HANDLER IN VIETNAM AND THE BOND HE HAD WITH HIS DOG DURING THAT TIME. FRAULINE YOU KNOW, THIS DOG WAS WITH ME 24 OVER SEVEN WHEN IT WAS TIME FOR US TO HAVE A DRINK. I WOULD TAKE MY HELMET OFF, POUR WATER INTO THE HELMET, AND LET FRAULEIN DRINK FIRST. AND WHAT WAS LEFT OVER WAS FOR ME. YOU KNOW, THERE WERE EVENINGS THAT YOU LAID IN A JUNGLE, LOOKING UP AT THE STARS, WONDERING, YOU KNOW, WHAT AM I DOING HERE? AND HERE COMES THIS FOUR LEGGED WARRIOR. AND SHE PUTS HER HEAD ON MY CHEST, JEFFCOAT SAYING HE EVEN FOUGHT TO TAKE THE GERMAN SHEPHERD BACK HOME WITH HIM. VIETNAM WAS WAS A CRAZY SITUATION. WE WE WERE OVERRUN. 2 OR 3 DIFFERENT TIMES. AND PROBABLY THE SADDEST PART WAS THAT I HAD FINISHED MY FIRST TOUR IN VIETNAM AND EXTENDED FOR A SECOND TOUR. AND FOUR MONTHS LATER THEY STARTED TO DEESCALATE, AND I WAS TOLD THAT THEY WERE GOING TO SEND ME BACK TO THE WORLD. SO I WENT INTO COMMAND AND I OFFERED THEM $5,000 TO BRING FOR A LINE HOME WITH ME. THAT REQUEST WAS DENIED. AND WHAT HAPPENED NEXT WAS TRULY HEARTBREAKING. THE DAY BEFORE I LEFT VIETNAM, ONE OF THE OTHER HANDLERS CAME AND SAID THE VET WANTED TO SEE FRAULEIN. SO I WENT DOWN TO KENNEL, GOT FRAULEIN, WENT INTO THE VETS, AND THEY TOLD ME THEY WERE GOING TO PUT HER DOWN. WHY? SO THEY GAVE ME FIVE MINUTES ALONE, CAME IN, EUTHANIZED HER, AND SHE DIED IN MY ARMS. BUT HE TELLS ME THE MEMORIES OF THAT DOG WHO WAS BY HIS SIDE ARE STILL ALIVE TODAY. I TELL EVERYBODY I HAD A GIRLFRIEND IN VIETNAM, BUT SHE HAD FOUR LEGS AND HER NAME WAS FRAULEIN FOUR X TEN. AND WHETHER WE WERE WALKING POINT ON PATROL DOING SEARCH AND DESTROYS, SETTING AMBUSHES, RUNNING THREE MAN KILLER TEAMS, GATHERING INTEL WITH RECON OR JUST WALKING THE PERIMETER. FRAULEIN WAS MY LIFELINE. AND I WALKED THIS EARTH BECAUSE OF A DOG.
