Allen Prue’s mother, Donna Prue, and sister, Sharon Tinder, were on hand for the arraignment and insisted afterward that the couple is being wrongly accused of a monstrous crime.
“I want people out there to realize he is not the monster they are making him out to be,’’ said Donna Prue, who lives with the couple in Waterford.
“Neither one of them are,’’ added Tinder.
Tinder said the couple did plow for Jenkins, but they had not had any contact with Jenkins for the past several years. Mother and sister said Allen Prue did not even know Melissa Jenkins’s full name because she paid them in cash when the couple handled snowplowing duties.
The relatives said Patricia Prue is a New York native who met her husband through an on-line dating service in 2008. Tinder said Patricia Prue only knew her husband’s extended family and friends and had no tie to Jenkins. Patricia Prue also has chronic health issues, including depression, diabetes, and panic attacks, Tinder said.
The mother and sister both appealed to Vermont law enforcement to continue investigating so that the proper people are charged with murdering Jenkins.
“I wish I could do something to prove that they really didn’t do it,’’ Tinder said. “And I hope that the cops aren’t willing to give up and try to find more evidence that they really didn’t do it instead of wrongly accusing somebody.’’
Donna Prue added, “I think there are a lot of holes in this case and I think they really need to keep looking. … They are good people. … And I want them to have a fair deal in this. … They are being set up by somebody, I don’t know who.’’
