Thank you for respond...You are so welcome, Alisa. <br /><br />Thank you for responding with such kind words.<br /><br />No doubt, this horror will continue to pass through Patty's children, grandchildren, and much further down the line.<br /><br />These crimes will continue to be studied and dissected for a very long time and unfortunately will forever tie anyone related to or associated with the victims to them.martinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05465394939297846732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8171370990642927748.post-26562797563826479482012-08-08T21:51:43.756-04:002012-08-08T21:51:43.756-04:00Maria,
Thank you so much. What I appreciate most a...Maria,<br />Thank you so much. What I appreciate most about your commentary is that it focuses on what the book is about—the aftermath of the murders through two generations—instead of what the book is not about and those omitted.<br /><br />It’s also nice to see that there are those that chose to acknowledge the fact that the 3 individuals who are the focus of Restless Souls—Patti, PJ, and Doris—were Brie’s grandparents and her mother and she was certainly as close to them, and understood their feelings as much as anyone else on the planet.AlisaStatmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02804232476891059861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8171370990642927748.post-79942909932646844132012-08-07T10:49:45.312-04:002012-08-07T10:49:45.312-04:00What continues to irritate me about the "Rest...What continues to irritate me about the "Restless Souls" haters and those who continue to disparage Alisa and Brie is that none of them seem to realize that no reputable publishing house would have DARED put something in print, of this magnitude, unless Alisa and Brie had ensured that all of their proverbial Ts had been crossed and their Is dotted.<br /><br />This book was beautifully written and opened our eyes to the plight of the Tate Family after these horrific murders. It showed how these events of 1969, some 43 years ago, have continued to affect the generations of the Tate Family to come, not to mention the other victims, and yes, to some extent, the general public.<br /><br />If you don't like it, or have some ridiculous beef with Alisa or Brie, then don't buy the book, don't read it. Quite frankly, I don't believe that either of these lovely ladies would give a hoot. They obviously didn't put this book together to make money. In fact, the writing of this book must have been excruciatingly painful to both of these ladies because it re-opened the wounds that they have been dealing with all of these years, and I'm not speaking of the murders, but of the lives that became affected by them -- those of Patti, Doris, PJ, etc...Brie's life was affected regardless of the fact that she never knew her Aunt Sharon. <br /><br />I'm going off on a tangent...too much caffeine this morning...<br /><br />But to all of those naysayers..get lost!martinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05465394939297846732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8171370990642927748.post-44868694263550537122012-07-26T20:34:55.171-04:002012-07-26T20:34:55.171-04:00Thanx miss Patty Im actually feeling part of the g...Thanx miss Patty Im actually feeling part of the group now Found his response a welcome sighn he dosent like many people or things he corrected me but was well aware who I was referring to.

The one that Ms Statman says occurred and that Mr Kay say's didn't occur?<br /><br />Below is the letter that I sent to Mr. Kay after I heard about the podcast--he has not responded.<br /><br />Dear Mr. Kay: <br /><br />It’s been brought to my attention that you went onto Brian Davis’ radio program to say that what was written in Restless Souls was fabricated.<br /><br />Considering that we did have a conversation back in 1994 regarding Krenwinkel’s hearing, it makes me very sad that you would make such an accusation. Enclosed are the notes that I took during that conversation. Perhaps they will jar your memory. <br /><br />I’m sure that over the years since Patti’s death that Debbie Tate has filled your head with many false and negative notions about my character. Nevertheless, Restless Souls was written (over an 18 year span) as a loving tribute to the positive energy that the Tate family left behind. <br /><br />When writing the manuscript, I considered you a part of that positive force; the spark, if you will, that ignited Gwen’s quest. The portion written on Krenwinkel’s hearing was not meant to be sensationalistic, but simply my recollection of the events as you so long ago described them. And so, it is heartbreaking to see you jump on the bandwagon with those such as Debbie, Robin Olsen, and Brian Davis, who have banded together to make it their mission in life to try to turn Restless Souls into something negative and sinister—in Davis’ case, without (admittedly) reading a single page of the book.<br /><br />I’ve been dealing with Debbie and Robin Olsen’s smear campaign since 2000. Olsen is a highly disturbed and unbalanced individual who went so far as to write an eerie and degrading, 10-page dossier about me to send to PJ Tate in 2001, who then in turn gave it to me and told me to burn it. Enclosed are a couple of those pages.<br /><br />I’ve also enclosed Davis’ letter to me because I believe it shows his true character in a matter that can’t be easily explained.<br /><br />The saddest part in all this is that you would chose to turn your back on Patti’s daughter and Gwen’s granddaughter to fuel this fire, and in so doing, empower Davis and Olsen with more fodder to sling at Brie and I. <br /><br />I truly wish that you’d given Brie and I even the slightest benefit of a doubt that our intentions in publishing Restless Souls were true and honorable before your radio interview.<br /><br />Sincerely,<br />Alisa StatmanAlisaStatmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02804232476891059861noreply@blogger.com
