In part 2 of this series, Sgt. Celestina Rossi and Det. Fadi Rizk shares their thoughts about the pain that must have been felt by the family of Lesia Jackson and the guilt they must have felt for leaving the swimming pool during the argument causing her death.

It is often said that forgiveness is the key to unlocking inner peace and healing. It is a powerful emotion and a difficult process to go through. When a tragedy occurs, such as the murder of a family member, it can be difficult to forgive and move on. It can be even more difficult when the family believes that the perpetrator has escaped justice for years. This was the case for the family of Lesia, who was murdered 43 years ago.

The family of Lesia had two brothers who were at the swimming pool when the tragedy occurred. It is believed that they had an argument with Lesia and left, leaving her alone. For 43 years, they have carried the guilt of not being there to protect her, and have not done any interviews since. It is understandable why they would feel so much guilt and remorse, and why they would not want to speak about it as it was a painful reminder of the tragedy that happened.

The family had gone through the process of forgiving and moving on, but the news of the real perpetrator being found brought back all their pain and guilt. Forgiveness is an important part of healing and moving on, but it is not an easy process. It takes time, and it is often difficult to forgive when it feels like justice has not been served.

Sgt. Celestina Rossi is a Crime Scene Investigator at Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office in Conroe, Texas with over 21 years of law enforcement experience. She is also the President of the International Association of Bloodstain Pattern Analysts. Meanwhile, Detective Fadi Rizk is also an officer at the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office and is a member of the Cold Case Squad, responsible for all cold case investigations assisting MCSO detectives, Country and District Attorneys, as well as other law enforcement agencies.
