Robinault said she last spoke with her daughter on Thanksgiving Day. She described the conversation as “light-hearted,” adding that Lexie, the oldest of three girls, texted with her family throughout the day. "Lexie never expressed any fear of anything to me," she said.

In response to questions about her daughter’s relationship with her husband, Robinault said she was aware of a “rift” toward “the end,” but did not know of a divorce.

Robinault described her daughter as a “wonderful human” who graduated with honors from the University of Pittsburgh as a biology major.
