On July 7, 29-year-old schoolteacher Katie DeWitt James left her abusive husband Martin Luther James and boarded a train with her 13-month-old baby Lulu in Custer City bound for Weatherford and then Ripley to stay with relatives. As the train departed, Katie waved to her father, Henry DeWitt, unaware she would never see him again.
