Time line

* February 23, 2003: Death of Amber and Lily's Aunt Tammy Wilson -Saicth. Blanche Wilson's sister, at age 30 and Amber's favorite Aunt. This tragedy is made worse by media attention and negative publicity. Amber age 11, Lily age 8.

* January-March, 2004: Amber is admitted to Four Winds a Mental facility in Westchester (White Plains) According to Amber she was there for 2 Ð... months, visited very little by anyone. 1 visit from Matthew Felton (who signed her out) 2 visits from her mother and 3 visits from a neighbor.
