She took a full course load as if she was as senior. She went to class and did her school work,&#8221; Mathes said during a press conference.\u00a0<span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u201cWe even set up, if she was absent and the school was to call, we had somebody that was going to answer the phone and be her father. We tried to leave no loopholes open that would compromise her safety or the safety of anyone else.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I got lucky,&#8221; she explains. &#8220;At the school that I went into, kids were super open about getting high and ditching class.

However Donna didn&#8217;t anticipate how close she&#8217;d get to the kids. &#8220;I think that was one of the hardest things for me,&#8221; she explains. &#8220;After that length of time with anyone, you really start to care about them.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #333333;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14px; line-height: inherit;\">The undercover deputy had no ties to Carter County.
