Dear Zachary: A Letter to a Son About His Father Page #6

are starting to get

a little nervous.

I remember Bill coming in

and standing

in front of the television

and telling us.

One of the E.R. docs

turned to me and said,

"They found a body in scrubs

out at Keystone Park."

Dead silence fell over.

A heaviness

like I've never felt.

And eventually almost everyone

was congregated there

just waiting for more news.

Rhonda got the call,

and she said to me,

"They need you in Mr. Clark's

office right now."

And I remember

my heart pounding,

going up at damn near a sprint.

I opened the door,

and I remember seeing

three Pennsylvania State Police

troopers in uniform

sitting in the room.

And I said, "You're here

to tell me about Andrew Bagby."

They asked for us all to gather

in the conference room.

- And they closed the door.

- He cleared his throat.

He just walked right up

to the podium and he said...

"Andrew Bagby is dead."

I said, "Well, hell,

you don't have to look far."

They're like,

"What do you mean?"

I said, "This woman was in town.

She was here."

I said, "Find her, and I think

you'll find who did this."

A summary of the evidence

against Shirley Turner.

He was found on the morning

of Tuesday, November 6th,

laying behind his car

in a parking lot

at Keystone State Park

in Derry Township, Pennsylvania.

A man walking

through Keystone Park

at 6:
10 p.m. the previous

evening, November 5th,

had seen his black Toyota

Corolla parked next to an SUV.

This was 10 minutes

after he told Clark

he was going to meet Shirley.

"Meeting her at 6:00."

Shirley drove a Toyota RAV4 SUV.

He was shot five times.

In the face, the chest,

twice in the buttocks,

and in the back of the head.

He also received a blunt trauma

to the back of the head.

That didn't sound random.

That sounded like rage

and vengeance.

The ammunition used

was CCI.22-caliber bullets.

There were six spent casings

and one live round

on the ground beside him.

Shirley owned a Phoenix Arms

.22-caliber handgun.

She had three lessons

with a firearms instructor

who said that at her last lesson

she was using

CCI.22-caliber ammunition

and her gun malfunctioned

and would sometimes eject

live rounds onto the ground.

Then she said,

"No, I can't find it."

Then she said,

"I gave the gun to Andrew."

She claimed

she was home sick all day

on Monday, November 5th.

The cellphone records show

that a phone call was made

here, here, here, and here.

While she claims

to be home in bed,

she's making cellphone calls

from Chicago, Illinois,

at 7:
08 and 7: 10 p.m.

on Sunday, November 4th.

Then another

from South Bend, Indiana,

at 10:
19 p.m. that night.

Then another

from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania,
