OFFICIAL: LEAH HAS BEEN RELEASED

Leah wanted for us to express these points to you with this news:

She is extremely traumatized and experienced a lot of very, very bad things, but she is alive. The state of her mental health is also very bad.
She asks that people do not jump to wild conclusions about her release because they do not apply.

A third person is now in jail for remaining silent in front of a grand jury.

Though the 3 have not been charged with crimes themselves they are now all in prison for not testifying.
