hour of every day. My heart beats for yours.
She loved Wilder, she said, not for what he could give her, but for the very essence of who he was, saying she couldnât wait to cradle his face in her hands and kiss him.
I love you and give you all I have within me, my sweet love, she wrote. I am forever yours.
CHAPTER 25
D espite her declarations of undying love and faithfulness to Nathan Wilder, Karri evidently had enough time on her hands while in jail to cultivate another relationship simultaneously. It is not known whether she was writing to a fellow inmate or to one of the jail staff. No name was found in that letter, but it contained some telling hints as to Karriâs true nature.
In that letter, Karri told the unknown object of her affection that she wanted them to have a beach wedding, make love every night, and bring their families together.
I want to be your wife, she wrote. I love you. I am in love with you. Doesnât that matter to you? Iâve already sent you two other letters with no response.
Whoever this mystery lover might have been, it was probably one of his better decisions not to have responded to Karriâs entreaties, otherwise his identity would have been plastered throughout the case files for all the world to see.
Karri didnât just spend her time writing to Nathan Wilder and the mystery man. There were well over a dozen letters in the evidence file to other people, including Nathan Wilderâs mother, Karriâs family members, and her children. There were also letters to her husband, although from the amount of time Karri was spending on her jailhouse romances, it would seem there was little time left over for Jason Willoughby.
Nonetheless, she managed to squeeze in a little correspondence to him. She wrote to him about missing Christmas with him and the children and how she wished she could be with them. She told him about how her visiting privileges had been revoked because of her refusal to cut her hair. She talked about how much she missed being there for the children, saying she couldnât imagine being away from them while they were growing up.
I want to be there for them as their mother, she penned.
Karri knew, however, that it was looking less and less likely that would be the case, despite her massive public relations campaign waged online and on the roadsides of north DeKalb County. Shortly before she shocked the courtroom with her surprise guilty plea, she wrote to Jason that she wanted to win the trial: I should win it because Iâm innocent, but I donât think itâs going to go my way. She said Billy Dalton, her brother-in-law, was going to lie, and Kim, his wife and her sister, was going to say that Karri stole their motherâs identity.
And Nancy is going to say mother was upset at the bank, she wrote, admitting that she did sign out the drugs that were in her stepfatherâs system.
I have no alibi, she revealed, and who is going to believe I was really taking a nap on the side of the Interstate? Plus, she said, she had two bankruptcies before she was thirty: [A]nd now this sex letter. Letâs face it, it doesnât look good.
Through it all, even presumably through the mention of the sex letter, which she undoubtedly had tried to convince Jason was a fake, Karri always professed her innocence on every opportunity.
If I go down, I go down fighting and clinging to that truth, she wrote.
CHAPTER 26
K arriâs blogs and Facebook postings always hyped her deep and abiding love and faithfulness to her husband, saying how blessed she was to have Jason for her husband and as the father of their children.
He is not perfect, she wrote, but he is perfect for our family.
He was more than she could ever ask for and much more than she deserved, she said, but God had somehow brought them together and guided them every step of the way through their marriage, blessing them with two beautiful children.
I love him with all my heart,
