Catalina Mancera Finally Speaks After Kneeland Family’s Shock DNA Demand: “This Has Gone Too Far.”
For days, Catalina Mancera had stayed silent, hiding from cameras, social media, and the chaotic swirl of rumors surrounding Marshawn Kneeland’s death. But on Thursday morning, her silence finally cracked — and what she revealed only deepened the mystery that has consumed Dallas and stunned the NFL world.
Her voice shook as she stepped in front of reporters. “I didn’t want to say anything. I didn’t want attention. But now… this has gone too far.”
Catalina’s statement came less than 48 hours after Kneeland’s family unexpectedly halted all memorial donations and demanded DNA verification before accepting another dollar. The sudden shift came after a mysterious 27-second phone call — a call the family claims contained “information no stranger should know” and a chilling warning:
“Someone is using his name for money.”
Catalina’s Heartbreaking Response
Wearing a black jacket and visibly exhausted, Catalina said the family’s decision “felt like losing him all over again.” She admitted she was “blindsided and devastated,” but insisted she supported the family’s right to seek answers.
“If someone is exploiting Marshawn… we need to know who. But I also know how much he cared about helping people. The fact that even tribute funds are now frozen breaks my heart.”
However, she avoided confirming whether the anonymous call mentioned her specifically — something fans have speculated about heavily online. When asked directly, Catalina took a long pause before replying:
“I’m not going to feed rumors. I know who I was to him. And I know what we were going through.”
Inside the Family Rift
Sources close to the Kneeland family say tensions have been quietly building for weeks, long before the call. Some relatives reportedly questioned certain fundraising accounts, including pages created by people claiming to be “authorized family organizers.”
One family member, speaking anonymously, said the phone call “validated fears no one wanted to say out loud.”
Catalina’s involvement has also been the subject of intense speculation, though there is zero evidence that she played any role in the alleged donation inconsistencies. Still, the timing of the call — and the fact that it came just hours after Catalina visited the family — has fueled conspiracies across social media.
A Tearful Moment That Stopped the Room
The most emotional point of Catalina’s speech came when she described the night of the mysterious call.
“We were all together. We were trying to comfort each other. And then… everything changed. The room just froze. His mom dropped the phone, and she looked at me like she’d seen a ghost.”
Reporters noted Catalina wiped tears from her cheeks before continuing.
“I want the truth. I want peace for all of us. I don’t care how painful it is — I just want this nightmare to stop.”
What Happens Now?
Authorities are reportedly reviewing the origins of the mystery call, while the family remains silent beyond their initial statement. Donation pages have been locked or taken down until further notice.
As for Catalina, she says she will cooperate fully with investigators — and hinted she may release “messages and documents” to protect herself if rumors continue.
Her final words left the room silent:
“Marshawn deserves dignity. Not suspicion. Not chaos. Whoever started this… they know exactly what they’re doing. And they’re not done yet.”
