Friends say Mindi Kassotis was afraid to leave her house before she was murdered #shorts | Forensic Files

She once told me, "Morgan, if you knew everything that was going on, like this is something that would be a
like best-selling novel or a or a best-selling movie." We only ever talked on Signal. If we
called, it was through the Signal app, and if we texted, it was through the Signal app. And whose idea was to use
the Signal app? Oh, Nick. I remember her saying, "I may have had a tail." Someone following. Yeah. It
ramped up after that. She told me they had been hacked by a hacker group. Their bank accounts had been completely
frozen. They didn't have any money at all. We have a security issue now, and now
we're you know, we're in danger. She thought her life was in danger. There had to be video surveillance in a
van down the street to just keep watch to make sure the comings and goings of their home were safe.
It sounded crazy. It did sound crazy because that does sound like something you see in a movie
or read in a novel, but again, you're talking to Mindy whose husband is a JAG, who has all of this military
clearance. Did she sound scared? Uh she was she was scared.
