Raymond Lance Robinson (Briggs) - Kelsey's biological father - Lance changed his name to Briggs shortly before marrying Raye Dawn. This is a mugshot of him that was featured in an article that was written when he was arrested for his second and third counts of domestic violence in 2006.

Michael Porter - Kelsey's Stepfather - married Raye Dawn in April, 2005. Notice how big he looks next to Raye Dawn. In his OSBI interview he told the investigator that he's much bigger than Kelsey and he could have hurt her while trying to save her.

Ashley Briggs - Lance's second wife and Kelsey's Stepmother - She was around 19 and 20 when she married Lance and the custody battle ensued

Kathie Briggs - Lance's mother

Royce Briggs - Lance's Stepfather (the tall one on the right)

Kevin Robinson - Lance's father - shot himself at Christmas when Lance was a child. Friends say it was because Kathie refused to give him visitation of his children (Picture unavailable).

Shirica Howard - Lance's sister

Shirica, Jeanna, and Robynn - Lance's siblings - two of the girls have different fathers but were in the same grade throughout school.

Teri Sigman - Kelsey's stepmother's mother - Ashley's Mother 

Jay Sigman - Kelsey's stepmother's stepfather - Ashley's Stepfather

Jay Sigman sat next to Raye Dawn's cousin during the trial and wrote "trial for the bitch" at the top of his notebook.

Kevin Robinson (Lance's biological father) was related to Gayla - a cousin by marriage.

Teri Sigman was married at one time to Gayla's brother. 

Debbie Hammons was married at one time to Gayla's other brother.

Jeanna Fowler - Lance's sister - is currently married to Raye Dawn's first cousin - Randy

District Attorney - Richard Smothermon

Judge Presiding over custody battle - Judge Craig Key - Author of the book that tells Kelsey's story.

Judge Presiding over Raye Dawn's trial - Judge Paul Vassar

Attorneys:

Sheila Kirk - Judge Key appointed her to be Kelsey's attorney and she refused. She called Kathie Briggs "White trash" and later teamed up with Kathie to use Kelsey's death to replace Judge Key on the bench.

Jim Hodgens - Attorney for Kathie and Royce Briggs

Greg Wilson, Steven Huddleston, and Stephen Jones - Raye Dawn's attorneys

Paul Sutton - Mike Porter's attorney

Jeremiah Hagemeier and Greg Pollard - Attorneys for state in custody battle

Brandon Watkins - Kelsey's attorney

DHS:

David Burgess - Supervisor who was threatened personally by Lance. Lance called and told him he would break into his home and murder his wife and children and do the same to Judge Key and his wife and children.

Yolanda Hunter - DHS worker - Kelsey wanted to call Yolanda every night before she went to sleep.

CASA:

Carla Lynch - Court Appointed Special Advocate volunteer who has joined Kelsey's Purpose. In emails Shirica states they just use Carla for information and she's "not the smartest hen in the house."

CHBS:

Patti Bonner - Comprehensive Home Based Service worker

Juror:

Michele Reeves - joined Kelsey's purpose the last day of Raye Dawn's trial, or so they say. In an interview she stated she thinks Raye Dawn left Kelsey for Mike to find. This was speculated on the Briggs' forum, but no evidence or discussion of this was ever given during the trial. Michelle also said she hopes Raye Dawn is beaten in prison and was applauded on Kelsey's Purpose for convicting Raye Dawn.

Briggs Supporter:

One of the Briggs supporters is Shonya Kay. She has over 36 million hits on a video she did over a year ago that is full of the Briggs version of Kelsey's story and has twisted versions of the facts, half truths, and lies. She refuses to change her video to reflect the truth. We remade her video to point out all the areas where she's wrong. She's acting like she knows all and people are actually buying into the lies.

Truth Seeker:

Someone who saw that an innocent woman was being turned into "enemy number one" by those who have publicly stated they hate her. Raye Dawn had not had a chance to tell her story and what type of human beings are we if we don't stand up for what's right and give a voice to the truth and bring light to the darkness?
