226: Bill's daughter was murdered
Sometimes, you see a phone call coming in and you just know
that something bad has happened.
I remember back several years ago, when my dad was still
alive. He was in pretty poor health. He could still walk around, sort of, but
it was with a walker, and it was very slowly. I’m the oldest of three sons, and
of the three, I live the closest. It’s only about a 5 or 6 minute drive for me
to get to my parents’ place, so if something happened, I’d be the one to get
that call. Lots of times my phone would ring, and it would be my mom calling,
quite upset and worried, because my dad had fallen and she couldn’t get him up.
And you know, when a call comes in the middle of the night,
it’s almost never going to be good news. We’ve had a few of those as well.
For my guest today, Bill, life was good. He and his wife had
two children – David, in high school, and Kristin, who had just graduated from
college and was about to start a career.
But then, Bill got a phone call. It was from a woman who
identified herself as a police detective. And she was calling with news about
Bill’s daughter.
Bill told this story on the podcast a little over 3 years
ago, and it’s one of the episodes that had a big impact on people. Some of the
elements of this story are just incredible. And you’ll also hear a recent
conversation I had with Bill, about what’s happened since then.
