in a neighboring bedroom. listening to it all through a closed door. was there any way to describe what it s like for mother to be in that situation? no. your brain does funny things. i just knew that my whole world is never going to be the same again, ever. outside, brian spencer watched tom pacing back and forth, crying and talking to himself. i noticed he s wearing a white t-shirt. and he s covered, i believe it was on this left side in large amounts of blood. it was odd, brian thought that the evidence police officers didn t take tom s clothes or bag his hands for gunshot residue. he still had evidence on him. and he needed to be preserved. he needed to be controlled. he needed to be processed. and, clothing removed, everything. that s not what happened. not at all. and soon after ashley was rushed off to the e. r., tom got in the back of a squad car and was driven away.
to be him. right. but for all their middle of the night questions, the police did not arrest tom, nor charge with anything. what were they telling you along the way? oh, that they were investigating it. at ashley s funeral, tom was one of the speakers. ashley didn t have much patience. and what he said wasn t the sort of thing people expected to hear. and she goes, i don t care when you knew do it, where you do it, i want it now. it wasn t unusual and, frankly, very emotional human eulogy for reasons only tommy understand. but her parents were furious. when he had that opportunity to speak and share about the woman he so-called loved and called his eternal wife all he did was degrade her. what was it like to hear that? it was shocking. it was unbelievable. as the days turned into
