Nobody has lived more of a roller-coaster life of emotions than Jonni Hare and other family members of Christina Morris.
The discovery of Christina Morris' skeletal remains did close a chapter on a nearly four-year-long mystery into the Plano woman's whereabouts. Enrique Arochi, the man convicted in her kidnapping, is a facing a life sentence in prison.
The last WFAA saw Jonni, she was walking hand-in-hand with two friends while holding flowers over the Anna site where the remains were found. "I needed to see it for myself. Part of me felt like Christina needed me to," said Hare.
Jonni says she was in Tyler, Texas, and in a store when she got the call. She knew immediately that they had found her once a friend had called to tell her about remains found in Anna.
"I literally hit the floor in the middle of a store, and I probably sat there on that floor for probably 20 minutes and did not get up," she said. "We found Christina when we were supposed to. That's the way I look at it."
Jonni says she still struggles with mixed emotions. She is both distraught and relieved. Jonni admits to WFAA that three days after the discovery, Jonni wrote to Enrique in prison. It was one of about 40 letters. In that letter she says, "This will be the last letter I ever write you. Because you aren't worth my time and you deserve nothing."
She also wrote: "Christina is flying high and dancing with the angels in heaven and I, as her mother, and we, as her family and friends will make sure justice is served."
Jonni says she spends time on herself now. She is getting the chance to work-out, which she always loved to do before her daughter's disappearance.
"I'm not going to let Enrique take who I am away. I'm in a better place. I've learned how to exist without being her mother physically but spiritually. It's a beautiful thing," she said.
Jonni is now on a mission. To fight back legislatively and even, hopefully, legally. "I can't tell you what's gonna happen, but I can tell you what I want: I want him to be tried for murder," she said.
Christina's skeletal remains have not been released by the medical examiner yet. Once it has been released, the family will have a proper memorial service for her in North Texas.
