Jenneth Randall was upset whenever she found discarded pieces of aluminum foil in her granddaughter’s bedroom. She knew what it meant.
Jasmine Grisham struggled with an opioid addiction for a few years before she died of an overdose at her grandmother’s home Feb. 7, 2022. She would crush a pill over a sheet of foil, light it and then sniff it into her nose, Randall said.
At the height of her addiction, Grisham was stealing. Randall would find money missing from her purse. Grisham would volunteer to go to the grocery store but refuse to provide a receipt.
“That happened so many times, and I would get so furious with her,” Randall said in an interview. “It still didn’t click with me what she was doing. She was buying drugs with my money.”
