I would absolutely love to chime in here as Brittany's mom. I consider myself a pretty strong person. Over the years I have learned that what other people think of me is none of my business. It is insensitive for people that didn't know Britt to imply that she was pregnant with someone else child and that is why he killed her. No response will be given to that!
What I can tell you is about my daughter: Brittany was feisty, head strong and had her own way of doing things. She thought out of the box, thought for herself and believed in the good in others. She sought out other cultures to explore and learn about them, their backgrounds and religions. She traveled as a soothing to her soul. She meditated and did yoga as a way to clear her mind and soul. She loved life and loved people. Her wanting to settle down in Kalapana was her dream come true. She had traveled over the years, living in various places and when she landed in Kalapana she told me she found her home and was staying. She loved the people, the weather, the spiritual vibe on the lava and the beauty of the ocean. She had dreams of one day building a yoga studio and teaching others what was so important to her. She fell in love and was going to start a family. She was HAPPY!
As for racism I hate that word! If someone other than Bo killed her it was NOT because he was white or haole. I have also heard much about money and not playing the right cards with others. I understand tensions are running high and you that live in Puna want answers in your community, but lets keep the goal in mind her. To solve Brittany's murder and the murderer be brought to justice.
