The Murder of Jane Bautista: A dive into Mental Illness and Child abuse (part 1)

Jane Bautista was an enigma of a human being. No one seemed to understand her mind. It didn't help that she never shared what went on behind closed doors. Since she was a small girl, it was evident to her family that Jane was rather disturbed. As she grew into a striking young woman, she garnered attention from the men in her life. Jane met a man named Armando and had a child with him. Sadly, Armando took his own life when Jane left him... or did he? Police thought the death was suspicious but deemed it a suicide regardless. 

Jane had a second child with a man named Jose, who ultimately abandoned his child after a stint in jail. Jane had moved without telling Jose where she and her sons were. After that, he just moved on with his life... leaving Jane, and her mental illness, alone with her two children... unchecked...

In this episode we dive deep into the incidents that lead up to Janes mad dash into a new single life with her two sons. We talk about her episodes and run ins with the police as we try to figure out where things went wrong. Join Wendy and I as we agree and disagree on different topics involving Jane and her boyfriend... then check back for part two in two weeks
