Sandra Clarissa Zemialkowski in February 2010
In February 2010 Sandra Clarissa Zemialkowski gave an interview to a local newspaper which was running a story on Kali Soleil's abduction. Almost 2 years after providing a sworn deposition you can read her current version of the facts in the case at the link below:

You can contrast her current version of her story with the sworn deposition she gave almost 2 years earlier.
In February 2010 Sandra Clarissa Zemialkowski claims:
- It was "understood" that when she left she was not coming back. Her sworn affidavit provided in the previous section she addresses this approximately 6 months after taking Kali from her home.
- Sandra Zemialkowski claims that she was 'wronged' according to the newspaper article despite the fact that Sandra Clarissa Zemialkowski was afforded 'due process' under the law and told her side of the story to the judge in the custody case. She was present personally or was represented by an Attorney at all the hearings that took place between March 2008 and April 2009.
Sandy (Sandra) Zemialkowski's affidavit to the courts promising to obey all court orders and recognize the courts in Massachusetts as the only courts with jurisdiction over matters relating to Kali's custody and care.
