my wife she, fell asleep in the bathtub. i was downstairs. i just came up and she was laying face down in the bathtub. i got a call, it was ryan. something has happened to sarah. the emts were rushing sarah to the hospital. by then they had worked on her for 45 minutes but hadn t gotten a response. minutes later, jill widmer was with her son, waiting anxiously together in a room off emergency. finally a woman came in and we said is she gone? and she said yes. he just dropped down to his knees and was balling and sobbing. sara widmer, 24 years old. a bright of less than four months was dead. her husband ryan told the emergency services people he thought he had fallen asleep in the bathtub and drowned. but those emts doing cpr, trying everything to save her, didn t understand one crucial observation that they made that night. something here doesn t look right. coming up. a drowning in a dry bathtub. i expected something to be wet.
he speaking over, looking. he said later and calls us and tells us, there was nothing written in her about black. book [laughs] it was a fast-track of courtship and before very long, ryan was bringing his new girlfriend home to meet his mom, jill. i liked her a lot. the one thing that struck me the most was how beyond her years and mature she was. sarah didn t have a problem telling anyone anything. so if you made sarah mad, you knew you made her mad. as for ryan, he never seem to listen. he doesn t get upset, he doesn t get mad. he so laid back and so easygoing, go with the flow. she so on it, organize. this is what it has to be. and he just says, okay. jill widmer enjoyed her days with ryan and his new girlfriend, sarah. our family tends to do a lot of barbecues, picnics, things like that. we would spend some time down at the lake in kentucky. they would come down there.
body would be examined by the county coroner. there is nothing for ryan, her husband for months, to do at leave the hospital and head home. his mother, jill, took him back to the house in the wee hours. ryan said to me mom, i can t go back in their. can you go in and grab some clothes shop for me. so, i went upstairs and when i got upstairs to her bedroom, they were a couple pieces of carpet cut out of their carpeting. which i thought was odd. it hadn t occurred to mother or son that the authorities were already looking at sarah s death as anything but a tragic, explainable incident of some sort. there were 1 million questions in our mine. did you have an aneurysm? did something medically happen to her? did she have a seizure? daylight, and word was spreading that sarah was gone. dana and chris, the couple s who had fix the newlyweds up, could not believe what they were hearing. we had just gotten back from a trip and i told her that i would call her as soon as i got back so
back so we could get together for dinner. and i didn t even get a chance to do that. shocking news, to say the least. shocking news. dana, a nurse, try to make some sense out of what had happened to her dear friend. she thought back to her last conversations with sarah. she was complaining of headaches. she would call and say, what do you think from a medical background? i said, maybe you should get your blood pressure check. i said basically you need a checkup. how long has it been since you ve been to the doctor? and then there was that funny that sarah had that people used to kid her. about the way she would fall asleep at the drop of a hack. well, maybe that wasn t so funny. maybe that was part of an underlying condition that help explain her sudden death. her mother in law noticed it when she first got to know sarah. it was christmas 2007. jill was taking home videos. all of a sudden i panned over and there is there is sarah spending time at the family. christmas sar
