Klett and Bolanos met in March 1998 and violence surfaced in the relationship within months. In September 1998, Bolanos was charged with attacking Klett while she was pregnant. He pleaded guilty and was sentenced to probation.

Bolanos had allegedly assaulted Klett in June 2004 and she was hospitalized for ten days as a result.

He was charged with assaulting her and was supposed to be under house arrest while awaiting trial, and was ordered not to contact her.

Klett left her children with a relative and went out with Bolanos. She invited a friend along, telling her friend she didn't want to be alone with Bolanos. The three of them went to various bars until 2:30 a.m., then went back to her friend's apartment. Klett and Bolanos were arguing by this time. This is the last time anyone saw her.
