It’s like when you get a ride somewhere and somebody drops you off but they never came back to pick you up, so you’re stranded. You’d probably try to call someone to help you out, but what would you do if your phone stopped working? What if none of the phones were working? That’s what it’s been like for Tavia, only she hasn’t been stranded some where – she’s been stranded some time.
Tavia wants to move on because she understands that she belongs somewhere else now but can’t break free from what has her entangled here. She believes that telling her story and setting the record straight is the only way she can put an end to the Bad Man’s deception and be set free from the bonds that are holding her here. Until now, she was afraid that people would forget her and her voice would never be heard, leaving her lost in a dark labyrinth for eternity.
Information from the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office:

Deputies arrived on scene and located a deceased female laying underneath a parked van. Upon further investigation, no evidence of foul play was located on scene.
The female was later identified as 33-year-old Tavia Starrella Metzger of McKinleyville. An autopsy of Metzger found no apparent evidence of trauma or foul play. Cause and manner of death are pending the results of a toxicology and microscopy screening.
