Maureen:

When I met Kathy and her mom, I thought, maybe this friend will be exceptional. And I was right, except for Kathy's mom. Mrs. Oksana Ponomarenko drank all the time and took money that Kathy made and bought drinks and smokes. I kinda figured that if she ever wanted to get out of her mom's house, that she would need money to make it. So I asked my mom about getting Kathy a bank account and she said yes. When we got Kathy a bank account, she started putting money into it and started lying to her mom about the amount of money she was earning at competitions.

Kathy would tell her mom that she was earning about 75 less then what she was really earning. If her mother knew the real truth, Katy would never be able to leave the house except for school or dance. Her instructors and the competition organizers always said the same thing knowing what Mrs. Ponomarenko did with the money she took from her daughter.

I didn't know that Kathy had been one of my father's cases until I took her to see him. She had been asking about Olivia and the rest of the squad so I figured she wanted to see them. We headed over to the squad room right after school after I gave my father a call and said I was bringing someone that wanted to talk to them. I didn't explain anything further.
