with two innocent people be in prison today? it s going to chase you for a while. a little, i can put it behind me. the cases close now. what i m happy for me, personally, is the family has closure. but do they? it isn t just kay covered s or they must live with, but also the wreckage of god knows how long of the family s story. i had emotions of happiness and relief, but there s still some regret that i did not support roger and pam. from the beginning. it changes your perspective on the world, it really does. and, by the way, said roger and pam, a little piece of advice. if anything happens and there is any dealing with law enforcement, you don t say anything and you get an attorney. as for dara, who finally found the love of her life, what was there to say? we amendment of sunshine
and they were as happy as either one of them had ever been. he d say what else do we need to do? we re retired. we have plenty of money. we ll just have fun. kay was a rich man. made most of his money buying gold at 250 an houns, said darla. he just had the foresight. he d always he was the dollar bill s not going to be worth anything. he put his money into a trust so that roger and his other children would inherit everything once he was gone. heaven knows he wasn t spending it. worth millions, but he was very frugal. very frugal. and i just i used to say to him like i said when is it you re going to spend your money? you know? what are you waiting for? so kay promised darla he d travel with her, see the world. but he made sure his bunker was stocked. and he kept his guns close to hand. just in case.
and i are going to end up because there s going to be a nuclear war. and i d say i don t want to live if everybody else is dying. oh, he was a true patriot and he worried about things and wanted to be prepared for the civil war that was going to erupt. and so he was a little over the top. darla wasn t thrilled about it but she accepted him and his radical views. after all, they were till kind of in their honeymoon phase. it was all kind of surreal. i think we both felt like we were back being teenagers again. because we both, you know, hadn t really had love for quite a few years. they d found each other late in life after both had raised families. kay had three adult children by then, one of whom, his eldest, roger, stayed close. he was my best friend. we did everything together. mind you, roger was not at all like kay. for one thing, he d suffered a brain injury in an accident
years ago. so unlike kay, he couldn t work much. lived on disability. but he liked to hang out with his dad. we lived less than a mile apart because we did enjoy spending so much time together. if i ever needed help, he was he de there in a minute to help me. hello, said roger s wife, wasn t always easy. that s just the way kay was wired. roger s dad was a very strong-load person. it was his way or the highway. so roger learned early to shy away from confrontation with his father. not at all how it was with his new love, darla. when she was around, they said, kay s tough hide melted. we knew then that he really loved her and that he was willing to compromise and do some things so that he could make her happy also. did it seem to kind of soften him up a little bit? yes, it did. a lot. so kay and darla got married.
relayed to the command post which was set up at the foot of their home. and gave her the news. your life just comes tumbling down. you have it all planned out. you think you know what it s going to be. and then everything s gone. kay caught off guard? not kay, thought darla. impossible. but that seemed to be just what happened. at least that s what roger and pam told the police and later us. and a very strange story it was that began, they said, when pam received a pie at work as a gift. he with knew how much he loved that pecan pie and we 12k50ided as soon as we got home from work to take him the pie. so they went to his house intending to drop off the pie and then leave. but when they got there, they said, there was an unfamiliar car in the driveway. pam said she knocked on the door and a young man answered. i said is kay here? he said he is, he s upstairs.
