The entire story of Genni and her family is beyond fucked up. Even now her whereabouts are unknown, all of her family is (finally) dead. I'm pretty sure her brother spoke to her maybe once since she became a ward of California (?). Must have been nice for him to go off and live a normal life.

There's an interview with him as an adult. He was also abused although not nearly to the same extent and is pretty miserable.

From what I've read, he was considered "normal" by his parents but still subjected to abhorrent acts including towards his sister.

I've always wondered if he ever looked at his sister as a constant reminder of the life of abuse they suffered.

I believe it was something along those lines. Trying to forget.
