Kristi states, "I was born to an empath and a narcissist/sociopath, and my mother tried to kill my dad and he had my mom committed. They both lost custody and I lived in a foster home for a year. Then my mother won custody and was going to move to Japan so my dad kidnapped me and my brother for 6 years. The FBI found us in the Ozarks in 1995 in a survivalist situation and returned us to our mother. Eight years later, the cops removed me from the home when my mom attacked me viciously and I was homeless for a year. I married and divorced 4 times from age 18-24 and the last marriage was super abusive. He is a super rich rancher in a small town in Utah." She divorced and is in the middle of legal battles for custody of her 2 children.
