Carol's fiancé, Dennis Smerigan, was outraged.

He told the the Beaver Countain: “It was about a week later she gets this registered letter delivered at the house.

"I was p**sed when I read that letter. No kind of man sends a letter like that.”

He continued: “She had been working full-time for this man for over 12 years. He didn’t even call her, he hasn’t even called her once since she got sick.”

Dr. Visnich’s attorney, Larry Kelly, told the Times Online that Visnich “placed Jumper on layoff status so she could collect unemployment compensation during her treatment.”
