Teresa
William states that he fell in love with Teresa at first sight. Teresa had a boyfriend, but she had lost interest in the relationship. So, when Teresa returned to Oklahoma City from Christmas break and was put on academic probation, she decided she was done. Remembering, that William promised her a different life off the island, she contacted him. Ironically William was at the very place Teresa did not want to be- in Alaska working on a fishing boat. His boss was so caught up in the love story that he bought William an airline ticket to Oklahoma City. Teresa was a dedicated country music fan and wanted a cowgirl life. William, a Texan, offered that life. They were married six months later. Two years after that a baby girl was added to their family. The family of three moved to Idaho in 2006. Ten years later the biggest challenge to their family came when the gavel pounded a guilty verdict.
