It is jan 2022 and I just found this info on marina lesnic. I lived with her as a boyfriend for years and nobody contacted me. If marina shot this man then it was either she was in danger or her son was in danger. I think the later! If there is a murder investigation would you not ask someone that had a relationship with her for years after her marriage! Nobody knows this woman like I do,and there is somthing not right about this. Please have the psychiatrist contact me so I can fill in some blanks. THIS WOMAN IS NOT A BLOOD THIRSTY KILLER! I know her body language and speech better than anybody. SOMETHING IS NOT RIGHT!
