Ever since Masey was identified as the victim on the playground, I’d done all I could do to suppress thoughts of my cousins Stephanie’s and Jaden’s deaths at the hands of her abusive ex-boyfriend. It’s been ten years, but there are moments when that feeling of tragic disbelief resurfaces like a light switched on in a dark room.
I think this is an adjacent nod and tribute to Tamron Hall's real life step sister's unfortunately death to domestic violence. May she rest in peace.
