In 1985, Ray Spencer was charged with sexually abusing Katie, Matt, and their step-brother. http://bit.ly/2rILW0Z
Under adult supervision, the kids were questioned about Ray’s actions. http://bit.ly/2rILW0Z
Five-year-old Katie was shy at first, then demonstrated various sexual acts with two dolls to an investigator.pic.twitter.com/YYgwxRlhFq
Years later, Katie began searching for answers about why she didn't have any memories of the abuse. http://bit.ly/2rILW0Z
Katie looked into the recesses of her mind for what she thought a trauma victim might feel: "There was nothing." http://bit.ly/2rILW0Z pic.twitter.com/h6z8wkGYLa
Her older brother Matt told her: "You don’t remember because it didn't happen." http://bit.ly/2rILW0Z
But Matt also wondered, what if something had happened and he just didn't remember? http://bit.ly/2rILW0Z
"The human mind is crazy. If you say something enough, you start to think it's really happening," Matt said. http://bit.ly/2rILW0Z pic.twitter.com/eIStDmNumu
Katie felt caught between stories — and people: "It's like everyone knows more about your own life than you do." http://bit.ly/2rILW0Z
Nearly 20 years later, Ray was released from prison after flaws were found in the original investigation. http://bit.ly/2rILW0Z pic.twitter.com/ESF5iH1cGP
