I’m focusing on #MatthewLaFountain for a reason. He was the last to see #JusticeForLaurenSmithFields alive. Theres holes in his story and no updates on the investigation. No autospy. No toxicology report. WHAT HAPPENED TO LAUREN? IF SHE WAS SICK, WHY DIDNT YOU TAKE HER TO A ER?! pic.twitter.com/73k8gq1l7m
