Extra: Jeanne Tessier liberated by her art
March 9, 2013 7:45 PM
Jeanne Tessier tells "48 Hours" that she was abused for years as a child by both her brother, Jack McCullough, and her father. As she struggled to come to terms with the past, it was often hard to find the words. Painting came more easily. Jeanne says she no longer considers herself a victim, but sees herself as "a survivor, a warrior, and an advocate."
Can a childhood memory help solve 1957 murder of Maria Ridulph?

- Thank you, Jeanne, for standing up and facing your monster, even though you felt understandably betrayed by the "system." In sharing your pain, you have undoubtedly helped many, many women come to grips with sexual abuse. I have so much respect for you for the way you have broken free from the grip of the evil that tried to crush your spirit. I would love to be able to correspond with you directly; I was deeply moved by your story. I am a pastor who, like you, had to go through a process of healing before being able to empower others. God bless you and keep you, and make God's face to shine on you.
