was unemployed. she needed employment. in america she has to take the pharmacy test again, right? but because she wasn t able to pass the pharmacy test, she ran the dry-cleaners. mom worked there six days a week. i was there with her six days a week. on sunday, what do you do? we went shopping for house groceries and after that, we d go visit my father at the cemetery. it was a dark time for her. as my father passed away, she relied on me so much. andrew s mom was under a lot of stress at the time. with cathy, that was probably when the troubles were starting up, i think. she came home when she wanted to, barely graduated from high school. she was literally going out four to five nights a week and somehow she met robert along this process.
at the time, the media reported catherine was kind of not so obedient, that s what they d say. i m not sure about that. i wasn t there so i don t know. but the media would report andrew was the son. when his father was sick, andrew would tend to him for a long time and was obedient and good. the doctor said the cancer spread everywhere. covered his entire stomach. it was only a matter of time and it was not a good thing. catherine was nowhere to be found. catherine was at home doing her own thing. my mom focused everything on my father and i focused everything on him, too. that s where the, like close to a month vigil happened at the hospital.
passion of some sort, there is at least in this country, some sort of some sort of belief that makes the crime less heinous than if you had time to contemplate what you were doing and did it anyway. in our case, unfortunately, andrew flew home and sat in a cold dark garage for over four hours, waiting for robert, so andrew could then kill him. my father got a phone call from the grand avenue detectives that they re starting to think cathy had some sort of involvement in my brother s murder. i had never been so surprised. i had no idea. i had no idea that this cathy is involved in rob s death? it was baffling, it was a shock to us as a family.
catherine enlisted the aid of her brother, andrew suh, a student at providence college in rhode island, to fly into chicago, in order to commit this murder. catherine later on that evening, made a phone call to robert and told him that her car had broken down in lincoln park and she needed him to come and pick her up. this was all a fabrication, but it was a ruse to get him to come into the garage. he did so. and when he walked into the garage, andrew suh shot robert two times, once in the back of the neck, and then a second time, in his face, to make sure that he was dead. later on, we find out that possible motive she had was to cash in my brother s $250,000 life insurance policy. all of a sudden, it wasn t rob, the victim in the garage, it was a planned murder.
but in the other sense, i remember that 14-year-old boy that i knew and how he was manipulated by his sister. he has to go on and live his life knowing that his only family member left is the one that sent him there. i had a friend contact her, passed a message along to her. i said, i m your brother, i m always here for you. we can do this together. and a message came back to me that says, don t ever contact me again. i don t know who you are. i don t have a brother. and just leave me alone. i m always conflicted because she has my dna. we are brother and sister. it s never going to change.
