Letter from Michelle

Here is a letter from Michelle on whats going on currently:
Just to give you all an update on what has been going on: On Monday, March 16th, we appeared in court again. Child Protective Services (CPS) was unable to finish their investigation and requested more time before presenting their findings to the court. Ray and I both have our own attorneys and they both asked that Elektra be returned to me under the condition that Ray leaves the home since the bulk of the allegations is towards him. After much debating on all sides- our attorneys, the DA's office representing Elektra and the CPS attorney- the judge ruled that Elektra be returned to me with the willingness of Ray to move out of the home. CPS was also granted more time to finish their investigation. Praise God, this part of the battle is over, but the war is not won yet. We still need to fight to clear Ray's name and lift the suspicion off both of us. Your continued prayers and support are needed in this final hurdle. We appear again in court on April 22nd. If any of you are in the area at that time you are more them welcomed to come to court with us and show your support. Corinna, our angel from above, will be returning to Florida to be with her family. Ray and I are forever grateful for the sacrifice she made to leave her family in order to help take care of Elektra in our hour of need. The coroner's report is still not in. What that report says will mean the difference between our names being cleared or being accused of murder and having Elektra taken away from us forever. Please pray that the coroner's report comes back clearing us of all charges so that we can finally put this all behind us and start healing from the loss of our son. Thank you all for your love and support. It means more to us then you will ever know. God bless!
Please continue to keep my brother and his family in your prayers.
I am flying home tonight and will be arriving in FL very early tomorrow morning.
I will be back to San Jose for the April hearing.
Good Luck Leonard, we all know you are innocent, and are praying that the report completely exonerates you, so that you and Michelle can start the healing process as a family.
While being away from my family was hard, taking care of Elektra was a joy.
She is a wonderful, beautiful child.
I pray you do not need me again, but if you do, I will be there for you in a heartbeat.
