The New York Post reported that Mortensen submitted an affidavit on October 29 explaining that her life has altered in ways she could never have imagined due to ongoing hostility and false accusations. Mortensen told police during the original investigation that she saw a masked man with bushy eyebrows inside the house on the night of the killings. [1]
