“Now that the girl has died rumors abound that I am the person carrying news to the white man that is the main reason that the girl get stress out and kill herself,” a distressed Crooks told the Observer West.
Knott hanged herself last Friday, allegedly in response to threats by her hubby – Vince – who is currently in Canada, to publish on the Internet, a video of her in a compromising position.
