Blackmail Quote by Kirk Talley
“In 2003 the blackmail started. He started calling me and first said he was a private investigator. I quickly saw that he wasn't, that it was just a scheme to get money out of me. So, I went to the authorities and got them involved because I knew if I paid him, he'd be back in a month. I knew I wasn't going to do that the rest of my life.”
