 CANDACE NEWMAKER
Died April 18, 2000
 Evergreen Attachment Center

Candace was adopted and suffered from "attachment disorder". "Therapists" hired by her adoptive mother were, according to news articles, neither trained, licensed, nor qualified to give this diagnosis, let alone perform the "re-birthing" technique they used on Candace, the technique that ended her life.
