***UPDATED*** What Nicole Knew

Though "Nicole" was only seen from behind in her Action News exclusive interview the other night, she has revealed her identity on Facebook.

Many people responded angrily to Nicole's comments about Joe Kopp during the interview. In response to these haters, Nicole took to the comments to give her side of the story, in the processes revealing her image and full name, Nicole Alexander. I spoke to Nicole, myself, several months ago with the agreement that I would keep her name confidential unless she decided to reveal her involvement.

Here's what Nicole had to say on Facebook:

I'm the one who turned Frank in. I witnessed much of the chaos that happened in that house. I'm not on anyone's side ~ all I have is the TRUTH and it needs to come out. Frank needs to take responsibility for what he did, and the Seven Hills Police need to stand up and be accountable for what they failed to do.

Later:

The main reason why I spoke up is because the police are basically getting away with the fact that they failed to serve or protect ANYONE in this situation. They were called numerous times. I, myself, pleaded with them to just remove Joe from the Dienes' home because I knew that someone, in the end, would end up losing their life. They laughed and stated that Joe had more rights to the Dienes' home then Frank and Char themselves had as the homeowner's. Just a word of caution to everyone: don't let anyone stay in your home for more than one night, for if they have a bag of clothing and a toothbrush -- they are considered a resident, and you yourself will lose all your rights. (According to the three Seven Hills police officers.) Everything is documented and on record -- so I'm sure that all will be revealed in the trial. There are four people that need to be punished for what happened to Joe, and the police are three of them.

Still more:

Frank's mom didn't pay me to say anything. First off, I don't even like the woman.....and she hates me for turning her son in. Secondly, there is nothing in this for me. My life is not going to change regardless of what I have to say on either end. There isn't any amount of money that I'd make up a story for. I want justice to be served just as much as everyone else does ~ the only difference is that I'd like it to be served along with a sidedish of the truth.

And...

I have no idea about the Amy M. case.....no idea at all. I personally cannot imagine him hurting a child.....but then again, people are capable of anything. I can't speak about something that I have no information about. Char was not at home the night Frank did this. She was with me. We went to dinner and a movie. And no, I'm not saying that to cover her ass ~ it's the truth. Frank told her that he kicked Joe out that night. We believed that until odd things started happening weeks later.

UPDATE:

Nicole keeps revealing more info on Facebook. Here are some more recent quotes:

I have not claimed Frank's innocence. He ISN'T innocent, he killed Joe......and the whole situation sickens me. I can only tell what I know. I can only share what I personally lived through and observed. I obviously didn't know Joe on the same level as you all ~ and that is NOT my fault. All I know of his prior living arrangements is that which came from direct conversations with him. Was Char involved in any way? Who the hell knows....besides her.

Also:

Regarding Joe's belongings.....I DID think that was odd. But from what I was told he was slowly moving things out, but he couldn't take it all at once. Questions began arising when weeks went by and I realized that so much of his stuff was still there. Like three semi's full of stuff! The basement was packed to the ceiling and their six car garage was full of his stuff as well. Frank began going through it and I asked what he was doing. I knew that something wasn't right when he began throwing everything away....and when he found Joe's money stash. I believe that was the moment that I knew in my heart that something was wrong. I knew Joe would not have left without taking his money.
