1997 JUN: Kelly

Frankii Cruz met Kelly around June 1997 in high school at La Costa Canyon High School in Carlsbad, CA. Frankii Cruz graduated high school that same month but Kelly was only a junior.

After Frankii Cruz graduated high school he worked at various retail stores but did not keep steady employment. The following year, in June 1998, Kelly graduated high school and was awarded a scholarship to attend college in Waco, TX playing Baylor softball. Frankii Cruz became engaged to Kelly, they spent the summer together working at the YMCA's skate park in Encinitas, CA, and by August 1998 Frankii Cruz moved with Kelly Fleming to Waco, TX.

By December 1998, a mere four months later, Kelly Fleming ended her engagement to Frankii Cruz and Frankii Cruz returned to California. It has been suggested that Kelly Fleming ended her engagement to Frankii Cruz because of his getting into physical altercations with her.

Frankii Cruz stated that: "I will not disclose the details as to why our relationship ended because I do not have her consent to. I will say that it was fun. After a couple months we were growing apart and seeing less and less time of one another because she had obligations and I began to make friends that weren't of the best quality. I ended up with a bad crowd and began experimenting with a lot of hard core drugs. My relationship with Kelly ended well before I returned to California."

It should raise concerns, folks, that Kelly will not consent to reveal the reason she ended her relationship with Frankii Cruz. According to Frankii Cruz's statement, Kelly Fleming ended her engagement to Frankii Cruz well before December 1998, which estimates their relationship to have survived far less than four months. It should also raise concerns that, at only 18 years of age, Frankii Cruz had already experimented with a lot with hard core drugs.

Frankii Cruz stated that he had, "... had enough with the drugs and went to a Marine corps recruiter high as a kite! He told me to come back the following day if I was serious about joining the corps, so I did. I enlisted in Dallas, TX. 'cuz that's were the MEPS is located for Texas."

Frankii Cruz's statement regarding enlisting in the USMC MEPS program in Dallas, TX is currently being verified.
