In 2019, the command at Barksdale Air Force Base was in crisis. Over the course of the prior 12 months, they dealt with five homicides connected to the base. This doesn’t even include the case we covered in our first episode, United States v. Edwards, who was also convicted of murder at Barksdale Air Force Base. The pace of killing seemed to be picking up and the base commander expressed that he was “deeply concerned for the safety of the military members and their families assigned to Barksdale.” But Katelyn Day, an Airman First Class, had her own ticking time clock pushing the pace for the murder of her husband.
