This is the continuation article of John Edward Robinson's Criminal Profile. Check the previous article here.
Heather Robinson was the 4-month-old baby who disappeared along with her mother Lisa Stasi. They were last traced at the shelter for battered women in Kansas City. John Edward Robinson was working there using a different name, John Osborne and manipulated Lisa Stasi by making promises of taking care of them for the future.
Robinson appeared to be a wealthy and professional man. He made Stasi to sign several sheets of forms of blank stationery. Days later, Lisa and her baby disappeared. Their family filed missing reports to the police but they weren't successful and so they believed that the two are dead.
15 years later, Tiffany, now Heather finally learned that her adoptive uncle was the one responsible for the disappearance of her mother. Heather knew that she's adopted when she was still an infant but learning about the death of her mother just broke her into pieces.
What struck Heather the most was that her adoptive parents never knew about John Edward Robinson's crime behind Heather's mother.
1985, when Donald (John Edward's Brother) and Helen (John Edward's Sister-in-law) received Tiffany (now Heather) by paying legal fees worth $5,500 and signing authentic and legal adoption documents which John Edward Robinson made it all up.
In 2000, when John Edward Robinson was arrested as he was the prime suspect for multiple counts of murders and fraud. The three of them were shocked about how Robinson manipulated them.
There was a photo that was believed taken the night after Robinson killed Stasi. He was carrying Tiffany at that time smiling.
: How is Heather Robinson doing now?
Heather is on a mission of finding the remains of her mother so that she can be laid to rest. Her grandmother, Betty Stasi couldn't believe about the turn of events after assuming that her daughter and her granddaughter were dead. They reunite with each other soon and kept in touch since then.
As for Heather, she's really determined to find the limbs of her mom. In fact, there was already a gravestone for Lisa but there is no body buried under. In the gravestone says "All this grave actually needs is Lisa".
: First Meeting with her Biological Father
Heather's mom Lisa, didn't had a happy marriage with her father. Her mom was so young of having her and her father was also young during the marriage. After having Heather, misunderstandings started to rise and the marriage was too much to handle and so they had to separate.
Lisa and Heather found themselves at the battered women's shelter in Kansas where tragedy awaits them.
The authorities actually went to Carl Stasi and asked what he knew about the disappearance of her wife and daughter. He said none, and eventually believed that the two were already dead.
After the revelation, he provided his DNA to prove that he is the biological father of Heather.
Heather was 16, when she finally meets her biological father. It took a while for the two to meet each other as they don't want to force the issue.
When Heather had decided to meet her dad, she was asked if she wants to start over with him and allow her father to take care of her from then on. She said " I don't need another dad and I'm happy with my dad right now".
Although, she admitted that she tried looking for her biological father by posting on Facebook. She contacted her father's sister but all she have not received one.
: Heather as a Mother herself
Heather is happily married with her husband, Roberto Ramos. They have two boys.
She said the her husband and their sons are very supportive for her mission to find her mother's remains. They are the ones who are keeping her safe and secured in times of self-doubt.
: Heather's Post Traumatic Stress Disorder
Heather made a Facebook group named, "The Lisa Stasi Effect" which is now deleted on Facebook.
It was made to answer all those questions about the disappearance of her mother and to address the harassment she's been getting since she refused to reunited and bond a relationship with her biological father.
Heather suffered PTSD after experiencing all the traumatic events she went through.
In an interview, she said "I had no idea at all about the crime he committed to my mom. I am sure that I was there when he killed my mom. It was just unfortunate that I was still an infant at that time. If I was a bit older that time, I could have saved her."
She added, "Growing up, I can feel that there's something about my uncle that I couldn't explain. Every time I look at him, this sense of cruelty and evil translates to me. But then, I just shrugged it off because all I have was just feelings. I do not have evidence to prove his identity as a criminal".
With regards to "The Lisa Stasi Effect",
She said that she wants to provide a safe haven and help others who are struggling with PTSD as well. She encourages everyone to join her organization to help themselves recover and consider that there is hope in every situation.
"For those who were impacted by violent crime, feel free to contact me. I know how horrific life would be after learning such circumstances about the reality. For some, you would feel down and helpless, you are very welcome to "the Lisa Stasi effect".
I feel very sorry for what Heather had experienced. She even blamed herself and felt responsible for all that has happened to her mom. However, I admire her for being such a strong woman to fight all the negativities and rage she felt towards her adoptive uncle.
She didn't used it to take revenge instead, she formed an organization for the welfare of the other people who suffered the same as her. What struck me the most is her loyalty to her mom that even if she didn't have a memory of her, she loved her without questions. She thanked her of bringing her into this world although what she felt was all ruthlessness.
If you were in the situation of Heather, how would you react?
