The day that I got the news will always be edged in my brain. Your sister is dead. I knew right then he had taken her life from that moment on my life changed forever. I felt closest to my sister when I see something beautiful, like she's talking to me like I'll see a beautiful sunrise and I'm like, man, like I hear you. You both had talked back in your younger years about going on Survivor together. The waves were crashing in Fiji, so I took a walk down the beach and I thought, man, she's all around me, so it's just time to do this. During this game, my motivation was my sister. She's the one that wanted to be here. That's why I apply. I wanted to be Joanna's voice. That's in the mission. That's all part of Joanna's voice is her speaking to everyone saying, don't let this happen to you as well. She fell in love with a man that seemed charming and charismatic and he was a pastor. And immediately I was in the spirit. I know in my heart that Mark killed my sister and then he staged it to look like she hung herself. So Mark Lewis was never charged with any crime related to Joanna's death. What do you make of that? A pawling, total disregard for our daughter. It appeared to us that it was just a dismissal. The Salano County Sheriff's Department made a decision that Joanna died by suicide within 28 minutes of arriving at the scene. That is a gigantic misconception. The case was still being worked. So do you stand by your office's original conclusion that Joanna Hunter took her life? Yes, we do. In no way, shape or form in any world, in any scenario, was this a suicide. This is not just a brother who's being emotional and irrational. This is not a mother who's just being a victim and saying untruths. This is a family that just wants justice for Joanna. I know I had one job as a brother, so I need you to know that I'm sorry that I couldn't protect you from that monster. On a beach in Fiji, go competing on Survivor, the reality show that like 48 hours airs on CBS. Now Joe and the lead with five. Joe Hunter's grief over the death of his sister, Joanna, came out in full force. I miss you so much, I miss you so much. He was filled with remorse over their last conversation. I'm so sorry for the things I said, and I never got the chance to say, "I love you." So, I look. Joe is still grappling with how she died. October 6, 2011, 9.25 PM, Vacaville, California. My pastor just came out of a town, he's really, really upset, and he's only called a cop. He thinks his wife is dead. What's his name? His name is Mark Lewis. Can you tell me what happened?
