A federal judge ordered that victor remain held without bond after prosecutors argued during Thursday's three-hour hearing that she posed a flight risk and public danger, citing what they called "disturbing" comments found in her notebook. They fell out of touch, but Demasi now lives in Augusta and does yoga with victor, she said.
During the hearing, prosecutor Jennifer Solari said victor wrote in a notebook that she wanted to "burn the White House down" and move to Nepal or Kurdistan. Victor remained locked up Tuesda.
"And she felt like she needed to give them what they were asking for at the time", Winner's mother, Billie Winner-Davis, said.

Victor was arrested on Saturday after investigators connected her to a leak of highly classified intelligence regarding Russian interference in the US Elections.
Prosecutor Jennifer Solari says investigators seized a notebook from Winner's house in Augusta, Georgia, and in it, victor made references about traveling to the Middle East.
The 25-year-old US government contractor has worked since February in Augusta, Ga., for a federal agency that neither prosecutors nor her defense lawyer will name and where she had access to sensitive documents. "Winner, whose social media postings sharply criticized President Trump, faces up to 10 years in prison", he said.
Victor remained locked up Tuesday on federal charges that she made copies of classified documents containing top-secret material and mailed them to an online news organization.
"A further audit of the six individuals' desk computers revealed that victor had e-mail contact with the News Outlet".
Macron says long Trump handshake 'not innocent'
His overlong clinch with Japanese prime minister Shinzo Abe became a meme when Trump refused to allow Abe to slip from his grasp. Trump's handshakes are fraught with drama. " It's not the be-all and end-all of a policy, but it was a moment of truth ." .
A 25-year-old government contractor for a US intelligence agency has been charged with sending classified material on Russian hacking to an online news outlet last month. The documents contained information that was part of its story titled "Top-Secret NSA Report Details Russian Hacking Effort Days Before 2016 Election", which was published on Monday.
The contractor who was involved in it was lastly arrested by the USA government on the Monday late night. Previous cases have not stopped leaks, and the ease with which victor got caught said more about her own sloppiness than it did about the FBI's sleuthing prowess. They say they don't know what happened to it or what it might contain.
Channel 2's Nicole Carr was invited into Winner's home by her parents to see the interrogation room.
Assistant US Attorney Jennifer Solari said it is unclear how much material is involved in the case. "Hanging her out (to dry), you know?" "So she's got a lot of valuable information in her head". She's never ran away from anything in her life.
"The government is scrapping and crawling to build a mountain out of a mole hill", Nichols said.
"I want to burn the White House down", prosecutors alleged she wrote in one notebook.
This Winner's not going down without a fight. But she also seems to harbor a hatred - self-hatred, given her own skin tone - of white people.
"Whether that's a jest or not, it still concerns me", Epps said.
Victor followed Edward Snowden, WikiLeaks, several accounts with links to the hacking collective Anonymous, and several "alt" government agency accounts that became popular after Trump's inauguration.
