Biography

She sits at a small table outside the ticket booth at Pier 33, selling her book and telling her story to anyone who will listen. She is the daughter of one of the prison guards and author of Eyewitness on Alcatraz, and Life on The Rock, as told by the Guards, Families & Prisoners.

Her main claim is that the Island is horrifically haunted; that the government knew it and used it to psychically torture the prisoners; and that locating the families there was part of an experiment to see if exposure to the Weirdness at a young age would cause children to develop 'gifts' that the government could use in the military. She also claims this last one actually worked, though not on her. She cites several families that had children 'disappeared', though public records shows no children born to those families.

When Stanley Roberts invited she expected her day in the spotlight had come - she would finally get to tell the world of the supernatural horrors she witnessed as a child on the island. Instead, he called her a crazy attention-seeker, 'debunked' her story by bringing in 'psychics', subjected her to a polygraph on the air, and generally screwed up her life. In the aftermath, she lost her vendor's permit for the island and the gift shop stopped selling her books.
