She enjoyed directing attention to herself, usually in innocent ways, which would explain her enjoying performing. But she also knew when people and situations were unhealthy, and in her last few days told her mother that she wanted out of the relationship with Chico. She must have been completely burned out with that lifestyle, but was obligated to go back for some reason. Although she didn't die of a drug overdose, and I don't believe she was using heroin as Chico claimed, she was taking methadone and probably didn't have a way to pay for it on her own. She asked me for money while she was at her mom's place just before going back to Chico, and I sent her a couple hundred dollars. Chico had also tried to get money out of me. I wonder if they both were somewhat broke, and she was contemplating another movie to raise money. At the same time, her spirit seemed to have been broken, and she had little hope of breaking away from the lifestyle she had come to detest. What she needed was a lifeline. Her parents tried to throw her one, but it was too thin to do much good. She had fallen too deep into the hell hole that Chico Wang had dug for her. She needed a hundred lifelines, and given time, I think her friends and family could have come to her rescue.
