and I wanted to go directly there and find out. She gave me Benetta’s number and I’m sorry, I don’t know her last name, but she was Lisa’s manager and also her best friend there, as far as I know.

JO:
And owner of the company?
OH:
And owner of the company.
JO:
Slaughter?
SF:
Slaughter. Yeah, Slaughter.
OH:
So, I called her house and she was out, and I spoke with her husband and
he didn’t really have a whole lot of information. He basically, and Benetta did later, told me ,that they really didn’t know what had happened, and urn, they were waiting to hear from the doctor. So, I went to Dallas, actually, I think before I went to Dallas, I also asked Lisa’s mother for the doctor’s name and I placed a call to, is it Minkoff?

SF:
Uh huh.
OH:
Is that his name? Who never returned my call. I couldn’t get any
information there, um, then with the services I went to Dallas and I talked with
Lisa’s mother and urn, she was really confused, she said, “oh they’re everywhere, they won’t leave me alone”. She was talking about the people from Clearwater and the Scientologists there, when we went to the viewing, urn, I went with Kelly Holliday and Sherrie Moore, who was another girlfriend of ours, and urn, I found out that Benetta was there and I went up to her and said, I’m Carol” and she burst into tears and was all mournful and sad and urn, and I said, “what happened?” She said, “we just don’t know, she just got sick, and we just don’t know” and you know, she wasn’t, she didn’t give me any additional information, just that Lisa had gotten ill very quickly and then died. One other thing I remember that her mother told me, which I thought was interesting, was that Benetta or, it must have been Benetta from Clearwater, had told her that they had taken Lisa after she had her car accident, which I found out after her death, and after the funeral and all that stuff, to a place where they watch babies in the church, and later as I was reading, I found out that there name for, where they put people away who are trying to leave is “baby watch” and I was totally offended that they would use that that way, almost like it was funny.

SF:
You need to repeat that.
JC:
Yeah, who, that was told to
OH:
Fanny McPherson
