He wasn't a saint.

- He was a hell of guy.
- He was just...

so intelligent...

and, um...

[whispering]
I'm crying.

[cries softly]

[whispering]
I'm sorry.

[sniffles]

[sighs heavily]

- Why are you sad?
- I'm sad.

Why?

Oh, I'll tell you about it someday.

[boom]

Do you know who that is?

[Zachary] Andrew.

[Man] Do you know who Andrew is?

[Zachary] I don't know.

Well...

why-why did Andrew get killed?

[Man] Because somebody hurt him, buddy.

I'm an only child

and I'll get around to why this is

of any importance whatsoever.

-But-
-[laughter]

Trust me, there's a theme.

[Man] Where were you when you found out?

[Kate] Melanie, who's on the front desk

calls back and says,
"Kate, there's a policeman"

from Sunnyvale on the line for you.

"Do you want to talk to him?"

And I said, "Oh yeah,
put it through to the office."

"Are you Kathleen Bagby?"

I said, "Yes."

"I've got a message here from Pennsylvania."

You're to call this number.

It's the coroner's office.

"You've got bad news."

[sighs]
I said, "Is my son dead?"

And he said, "I can't
tell you that, Madam."

He said, "But you've got terrible news."

I dialed this number that he'd given me

And it was a man, an irate man.

"The coroner's office is closed down."

It's nothing you could do about it.

"You have to call back tomorrow morning."

I called back to the
Sunnyvale Police Station.

So he gave me another number

and then I got through to Sergeant Krulak

and he said, "Your son is dead

under suspicious circumstances.

Have you got any idea
why he was in the park?"

"[whispering]
I said, "My son is dead?

Murdered?"

He said, "Yes."

And then I called David.

[phone ringing]

And I said to him...

[voice cracking]
"Andrew's dead."

And he said, "No."

And I heard him through the phone.

I called Sergeant Krulak back

and I said, you know, "We're coming."

And he said, "Well, that's good."

[David] Through that flight,
we just-we thought,

"We go get Andrew and..."

Bring him back to California and...

get everything organized, whatever,

and then kill ourselves because...

no point in gong on.

That was the first plan.
[chuckles]

Obviously, we didn't do that.

And then she gave me the list to Cali

and we start calling.

I came home and there was a message.

-I was walking home-
-[overlapping voices]

It was Tuesday morning.

I was just coming out-

I was doing something in the be-

-I was in the living room-
-On the couch-

[overlapping voices]

[man] You know, everybody always says,

"Well, what would be the difference

if one person weren't alive?"

[overlapping voices]

[boom]

[Tyler] I came home on November 7th, 2001,

to find a message from my sister.

[beep]

[woman] Hi, Tyler. It's about 9:15.

[Tyler]At 3:41 PM, I called her back.

She told me to sit down.

♪ Ambient tones ♪

[rain pattering]

[Suzanne] In the original
news, they said, uh,

"Unidentified man in his 30s

was found in hospital scrubs."

None of those words des-
described who he was...

and-and they could put them on paper

and make them true.

Nobody said...

"This person..."

This wonderful person...

was hurt.

[Kurt] We met in first grade
at Saint Andrew’s School

in Saratoga, California,

and I soon came to think of him

as my closest friend.

It was here, in the San Jose Bay area,

scattered across the suburbs
that make up Silicon Valley

that we all grew up.

There was Chris-

Do I remember how I met Andrew?

-It was... second grade-
-[Kurt] And Matt-

I can say without shame

that we bathed together.

-[Kurt] Michelle-
-He was the first friend

I made my first day of school.

-[Kurt] John-
-We met

the first day of class

because of our names,
Adkinson and Bagby.

- [Kurt] Olivier.
- We talked for about

20, 30 minutes and I realized,

"Wow, this guy is pretty cool."

-[Kurt] Heather-
-I'm sure you guys hear things

[unintelligible]

Between the two of us,

we might actually be able to...

put together a...

half-decent story.

[Kurt]And there was me.

My name's Kurt and I'm a filmmaker.

I'm Kurt Kenny and I play Indiana Jones.

He appeared in every movie
I made growing up.

We made a movie!

[Kurt] He loved playing bad guys.

Shut up!

[snaps]
Let's go, kid.

A's, huh?

You must be a smart boy.

[Kurt]And having a free pass

to smoke and swear
in front of his parents.

- I will fuck you up!
- Kiss my ass!

Kiss my ass, you son of bitch!

Christ, start the fucking
car and get outta here!

Fuck you!

Fuck all you fucking people!

I did not say the "F" word.

- I'm sorry.
- [Kurt] Which was probably

kind of a cool release

for a kid who made Eagle Scout

by age 15.

Mrs. Bagby, having watched it

where Andrew is running around

yelling and screaming,

kind of went-

I can't really remember being-

"Oh, that's not my son."

Perhaps you have a different idea

that I got all upset about it.

- I don't know.
- "Not my son."

[Kurt] And eventually, I even got them

- in on the act.
- Son of bitch!

You little shit!

You are a pain in the ass.

You little bastard!

Does that give you the right to go

yelling about your penis on the air?

[Kurt] It wasn't always fun and games.

Son of a bitch, ow!

- Jesus!
- Did I actually hit you?

I didn't hurt your hand, did I?

Yes, but don't worry about it.

And if you knee me in the balls again,

I'm gonna kill you.

[Kurt]And I know I
drove him nuts sometimes.

Can you do that one more time?

- One more time.
- Okay, one-

- one more time.
- [Kurt] One more time.

[laughs]
I want to see that one more time.

That was perfect.

[Andrew] The famous "one more time" line.

- Asshole.
- If I hear him saying

"one more time" one more time,

I'm gonna wring his neck.

Jesus Christ, Kurt-

Kurt, what you want?

-I mean-
-[Kurt] No, no.

I just need-I'm-I'm just gonna-

But despite it all,

he always supported me.

Kurt, another winner.

Yes.

What are you trying to do?

-[Kurt] This man-
-Give a genius a heart attack?

So do we kiss now or hug?

[Kurt] He even invested
in my first feature film

while he was working
to save for medical school.

Everything was perfect.

I don't know what happened.

We got big and then we got laid.

[Kurt] At his memorial service,

I talked with his med school friend Anthony

-who told me-
-one of the major things

that Andrew and I did together, though,

or that we had...

in common was, uh, photography.

[Kurt] I had no idea he took pictures.

I knew him for 22 years.

What else didn’t I know?

I was never gong to get
to visit him at his hospital

and see what he was like as a doctor.

I would never be gong to his wedding

where I would finally
meet his entire family

at the reception.

He would never be telling me anything

I didn’t already know about him.

So I decided to make this movie

to travel far and wide

to interview everyone
who ever knew and loved him

to I earn everything there was to know...

and to make one last movie with him.

I had no idea how many years it would take

or how I would even know when I was done.

But the longer I waited,

the more memories would be lost.

So I started at home in California,

and as soon as I could, I grabbed a camera-

- Okay, Andrew, ready?
- And said-

Action!

How would I describe Andrew

to someone who'd never met him?

[man] The man never wore pants.

He only wore shorts.

[man] Constantly!

[man] Boy, Andrew was very good at pool.

[man] Quite frankly, he was a pool shark

is what he was.

[man] Well, he had a good teacher.

[Andrew] All around this side-

When we first met him,

he had this thing with his fingernails.

Oh yeah, he'd always be biting them-

He'd be-he'd bite 'em.

They'd look like they'd
been through a shredder

Too late.

He was probably the most determined person

I had ever met about

doing a particular profession.

His mom worked in the business so-

We would sit and discuss a topic...

um, like...

venereal disease.

You know, he didn't get...

an offer to come to medical school
at the end of the first year,

and I remember, you know, that was...

that was a big downer.

I think he felt like he wasn't-

like things were kind of stalled for him

and he wasn't really...

he wasn't living up to expectations.

"Wh-what are you gonna do?"

"Okay, I'll get a job and I'll apply again.

"Okay.

That's... problem solution."

And then, of course, Heather
brought home this application

she had picked up from
Memorial University of Newfoundland.

I had to go look at Saint John's on the map

when he got accepted there.

We-I knew that's over on the east coast.

[David] He's-he's now engaged to this

lovely girl and he's
gonna go to med school.

- It was great.
- Graduation, he was in shorts.

[Kurt] Hold on a second,
we'll come back to this.

But before we go any further...

you've got to know what happened.

The whole truth.

So here it is.

[David] A couple of policemen met us

at the airport in Pittsburgh.

Took us over to the hospital.

Bill and, uh, Clark.

Picked us up and took us over to the...

Botches...

Funeral Home in Greensburg.

And then he took us down the stairway.

Gurney at the other end...

[sighs]

With a white sheet over a body.

And...

went over to him

and when we could see his face...

I said...
[sniffles]

"It's really him."

I kissed him and held him and...

Kate kissed him and held him

and kissed him some more

and tears are dropping on him, of course,

and Kate went to wipe one of those away

off his cheek...

and, uh...

a plug came out where he'd been shot

in, uh, in the left cheek.

Oh, my God.

[Kate] [crying]

She push it back in and cried some more.

After that, I lost it

and I just ran outside and screamed.

I was so fucking mad,

I couldn't see straight.

Goddamn it, I hated-

I've never hated like that.

Didn't even know who I hated.

Didn't know who it was.

I just knew that somebody purposely...

put him there and whoever that is...

is a monster.

[Zachary] [unintelligible]

[man] It's a very bad person.

[Zachary] Which bad person?

- [Zachary] A lady?
- [man] Mm-hm.

[Zachary] What's her name?

- [man] Shirley.
- [Zachary] Shirley?

Why did she killed him?

I couldn't figure out
who she was in relation...

to Andrew, since Andrew...

talked a lot about women

but never really mentioned her.

[man] Paulette,
this is Bagby's new girlfriend.

Makes me sick to my stomach now,

but I was - I was so excited

that he was dating somebody.
[laughs]

[man] Come on, Shirley.
Get out from behind him.

I knew he'd been struggling with...

me moving on and dating other people.

[man] Or maybe you will.

You already met me.

I was excited at the thought

that maybe he had found somebody,

um, that he, you know,

could really be happy with.

But it didn't turn out that way.

[Kurt] Did you know her?

Yeah.

[Kurt] Do you remember
when they started dating or...?

- Mm-hm.
- She just kind of appeared

and then she was there all the time

all of a sudden.

And just didn't seem...

suited for him.

I did see that there was

a considerable age difference.

And then the second time
I heard him talk about it,

he actually 'fessed to the age difference.

I was like, "Holy shit."

[man] "Shirley's got three kids. Whoo-hoo!"

Me, I always had to give him a hard time,

so I would tease him about nailin' grandma.

And she seemed so... incongruous

with who I would picture him with.

A person like that
doesn't-isn't just, like,

completely normal and then
one day, they become...

- a psycho, you know?
- [man] Yeah.

I mean, th-there had to be some signs.

She'd just being really
inappropriate with things.

Poor taste things that she would say.

[man] She was always making kind of

sexually inappropriate comments.

[Karl] But never threatening.

We never thought of her as...

being threatening, but just...

- something was a little off.
- Something wasn't right.

She started calling me on a regular basis.

She talked forever.

Crude things about their...

intimate relationship.

But I thought it was
kind of odd when I met her

that she wasn't-was not practicing.

She had finished residency for...

quite some time, and yet, she was having

trouble getting her credentials.

[woman] Nobody said anything

because we all respected Andrew.

And if he wasn't...

putting the pieces together or something...

It just makes me think
he was just not caring.

[man] He was likely 4,000 miles away

from where he wanted to be

for the rest of his life.

He had had a very difficult

kind of heartbreaking type of situation

- with Heather.
- [woman] You know,

whatever happened with their breakup

really kind of devastated him and...

um...

just left him vulnerable to...

someone like Shirley.

"Andrew!

You know you can do a lot better."

He said, "Ah, no, I really can't."

He'd poke fun at himself all the time.

Yeah, he would, he'd always-

He'd say he was a short,

- [Sherri-Lynn] Yeah.
- Portly little fellow.

You don't need to go out with a woman

because you can't think you can do better.

It was a comfort.

And in Newfoundland, it was

somebody to be around and he enjoyed it.

Oh, it's just a...

senior year thing.

[Kurt] After graduation,

he came back to the U.S.
to do a surgery residency

in Syracuse, New York,

and he was miserable.

He hated it.

[Kurt] Shirley also decided
to move to the States

to practice.

[woman] We were not very aware of

his year in Syracuse.

What a problem she became to him there.

[Anthony] It was a real hard year for him.

There was really no time for anything

and the fact that there was this somebody

that was...

making a lot of effort to maintain

a relationship with the man

represented something else besides

the misery that it sounded like

his internship was.

Um, it was hard for him to pass up.

[Kurt] He pretty quickly realized

that surgery wasn't for him and switched

to a family practice residency

in Latrobe, Pennsylvania in July of 2001.

And he loved it.

"He said, "When you finally find that thing

that you know is your niche,

it's worth-

it's worth everything in the world.

[Kurt] And he now wanted her to go away.

He did not invite her to Matt's wedding.

Yeah, and she thought she
was going to be coming.

She just already had it arranged.

[David]And the morning of the wedding,

Andrew's cell phone started ringing.

[ringing]

And he'd answer it, and it's Shirley.

A minute or two later, it’d ring again.

And it's her again.

Andrew got more and more upset with her.

"What is your fucking problem?" And...

clipped off the phone.

She got 30-some odd messages

on his phone.

His phone in his house
rang, like, 30 times.

Then his cellphone rang 30 times.

He was like, "Oh, it's her.

I don't want to talk with her."

And apparently, Andrew
had already asked Shirley to-

to accompany him
to Karl and Marcy's wedding

October 20th before July.

[man] He had broken up with her

a month before in his mind.

[man] It-it sounds so easy, but it's so-

ít's hard when you're a -

a genuine person who cares.

He didn’t know how to be a son of a bitch

because he wasn't a son of a bitch.

[woman] Shirley had been really, like,

all over Andrew,

just acting possessive of him.

[Marci] I asked Andrew, "Hey, do you want
something to drink?"

And she said, "There you go,

hitting on the best man."

So I'm - my jaw dropped.

It had to, I'm s-

I remember going...

[Kurt] On the afternoon
of Saturday, November 3rd,

2001, he broke up with Shirley

once and for all over lunch at the airport

in Latrobe, Pennsylvania.

Then he put her on a
plane back to her place

in Council Bluffs, Iowa...

1,000 miles away.

[Clark] I remember the morning

that Shirley showed up.

[doorbell ring]

"He said, "You'll never guess who

showed up on my doorstep at 5:30."

And I said, "Who?"

He said, "The psychotic bitch."

And I told him, I said,
"You know, Andrew..."

When I break up with somebody
and put them on a plane

"and send them 1,300 miles away..."

I said, "They knock on my front door,

I'm going out the back door,

and I'm calling the police."

He said, "What do you mean?"

I said, "Andrew..."

[scoffs]

I said, "Be serious."

Nobody drives 16 hours

after you've just broken up with them.

I said, "Do not meet her in private."

He said, "What can happen?"

And he said, "I'm gong
to need catch up with you

and we're gonna have
to do some serious talking."

Well, I said, "Bring some beer.

I only live a block away."

I said, "When do you think you'll be done?"

He said, "Well...

ít's 4:30 now,

meeting her at six...

7:30, I'll be at your house.

Things people should know about Andrew:

he was never late.

You know what?

When Andrew didn't show up at 7:30...

I knew something was very wrong.

And when I went back down at nine o'clock

and didn't see his car there...

I knew something was wrong.

I- I-

let me tell you the events of the day.

Andrew didn't show up for morning report.

Morning report ended around eight o'clock.

Went down to my office.

I called Andrew's house.

[over phone] Hi, you've
reached Andrew Bagby.

Please leave a message at the tone.

Thank you.
[beep]

Called his cell phone.

Andrew, where are you at?

No answer on either one.

As I recall, we were getting pretty close

to nine o'clock in the morning

and - and Rhonda and I
and some of the residents

are starting to get a little nervous.

But I remember Bill coming in

and standing in front of the television

and telling us.

One of the ER docs turned to me and said,

You know, they -
they found a body in scrubs

"out at Key-at Keystone Park."

Dead silence fell over.

A heaviness like I've never felt.

And eventually, almost
everyone is congregated there

just waiting for more news.

Rhonda got the call and she said to me,

"They need you in Mr. Clark's office

right now."

And I remember my heart pounding

gong up damn near a sprint.

I opened the door

and I remember seeing three

Pennsylvania State Police Troopers

in uniform sitting in the room.

And I said, You're here to tell me

"about Andrew Bagby, aren't you?"

They asked for us to all to

gather in the conference room,

and they closed the door.

He cleared his throat.

He just walked right up to the podium

and he said-

Andrew Bagby is dead.

"And I said, Well, you
don't have to look far."

They're like, What do you mean?

I said, This woman was in town.

"She was here."

I said, "Find her

and I think you'll find who did this."

The summary of the evidence
against Shirley Turner.

[Kurt] He was found on the morning
of Tuesday, November 6th.

laying behind his car in a parking lot

at Keystone State Park in
Derry Township, Pennsylvania.

A man walking through Keystone Park

at 6:10 PM the previous evening,
November 5th,

had seen his black Toyota Corolla

park next to an SUV.

This was ten minutes after he told Clark

he was gong to meet Shirley.

Meeting her at six.

[Kurt] Shirley drove a Toyota RAV4 SUV.

He was shot five times:

in the face, the chest,

twice in the buttocks,

and in the back of the head.

He also received a blunt trauma

to the back of the head.

That didn't sound random.

That sounded like rage and vengeance.

[Kurt] The ammunition used
was CCl .22 caliber bullets.

There were six spent casings

and one live round
on the ground beside him.

Shirley owned a Phoenix
Arms .22 caliber handgun.

[Kurt] She had three lessons

with a firearms instructor

who said that at her last lesson,

she was using CCI 22 caliber ammunition

and her gun malfunctioned
and would sometimes eject

live rounds onto the ground.

"And she said, No, I can't find it."

And she said,

I gave the gun to Andrew.

[Kurt] She claims she was home sick all day

on Monday, November 5th.

The cell phone records show

that a phone call was made here,

here, here, and here.

[Kurt] While she claims to be home in bed,

she's making cell phone
calls from Chicago, Illinois

at 7:08 and 7:10 PM

on Sunday, November 4th,

Then another from South Bend, Indiana

at 10:19 PM that night.

Then another from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

at 8:07 a.m. the next morning

November 5th, the day he was killed.

She logged onto eBay that morning

from his computer at his house.

And back again.

[Kurt] At 11:26 PM that night,

she makes another call from Cleveland, Ohio

clearly on her way home this time.

Then another call from Stuart, Iowa

at 9:48 AM the next morning

Tuesday, November 6th.

Then another when she got home

to Council Bluffs

and this one's to him.

[Kurt] When she realized
that she couldn't possibly

be sick in bed when she'd been caught

making cell phone calls

from Pennsylvania and back,

she changed her story again.

Then she said,

I gave the gun to Andrew

in the parking lot and he- and I saw him

put it in his trunk.

That clearly shows...

if she did this...

she planned it.

She is a manipulative, deceitful,

planner of a murder.

[Kurt] In order to prove her whereabouts

when she made these phone calls,

each individual cell tower

along her 16-hour drive
had to be manually checked

which was a process that took

almost two weeks.

While the police were uncovering
this crucial piece of evidence,

Shirley left the United States

for her home
in Saint John's, Newfoundland.

[David] We were absolutely helpless

for the whole time we were in Latrobe

after this initial...

nightmare.

The other residents and...

Andrew's - well,
they're Andrew's friends now,

came in...

sat with us...

brought us meals.

They had a sign-up sheet at the hospital...

to bring us a dinner
and sit and cry with us.

And-and, uh...

listen to us, and...

cry some more.

Great people.

[man] I mean, the whole hospital grieved.

It was profound.

Just picture the masses that - that -

that...

that just came out for that.

[man] From memorials in Newfoundland,

to California, to England,

-[Kate] To Saint Louis-
-[David] To Latrobe.

So proud to say that I loved him

so very much.

[David] And I'd be happy
if I had one-tenth of people

care as one-half about
as much they did Andrew.

[woman] Well, I know at the point

that we had the memorial service,

she was back in Canada.

Actually, she was there
at the memorial service

- that we had here.
- She broke down crying

during the service and...

sobbing really loud and...

you know, I-I wonder
if it was all just for show.

[woman] And then fear at that point for,

you know, Heather's safety because-

[Heather] She-she came
up and-and sort of...

butted one of my friends out beside me

and said...

just...

awful things and obviously I cared

about a lot more about him
than he ever cared about me,

and I definitely wasn't important...

umm...

in his life.

Then, I get an email from Shirley

a horrible, scathing email.

It was all basically I was nothing

and she was everything,

how wonderful their love was

and how that'll never die now.

[Kurt] To try to lure her
back to the United States,

Shirley was invited to the
memorial service in California,

but she didn’t take the bait.

So finally, she was charged.

She was arrested
in Saint John's, Newfoundland,

on December 12, 2001...

and was let go on bail the very same day.

When there's flight risk,

it seemed to me common sense

that if she isn't in the jurisdiction

where they want her,

she's fled.

[Kurt] Crown prosecutor Mike Madden

did not even argue
against her release on bail

and instead, entered the
courtroom with an agreement

already in place for her release.

Pending the next hearing
in the extradition process

to the United States,
all Justice David Russell

required Shirley to do was...
[cha-ching]

Post $75,000 in sureties.

$65,000 of this was posted by

her personal psychiatrist,
but I'll come back to him.

Turn in her passports,

sign-in once a week

at the local police station,

promise not to leave Newfoundland,

and avoid contact with these people.

And with that,

the government of Canada
let a probable premeditated

first-degree murderer walk the streets.

I thought it was crazy.

Should never be,
should never have been.

I thought it was insane.

Who the hell is the system protecting?

[Kurt] I could not believe

this was happening.

But the most unbelievable part

was when we found out about you.

[beep]

[Matt over phone] Kurt, this is

Matt Unger.

I just got a call from Mrs. Bagby.

The abbreviated version is...

Fletcher Bucket, that bitch, uh...

held a press conference and announced

that she's four months pregnant

with Andrew's baby.

They can't prove it until the child’s born.

[inhales deeply]

If it is true, the Bagby's
are going to sue for custody.

[Kurt] My movie now
took on a whole new meaning.

It was no longer just my search

for what was left of your dad.

It might be the only way you could one day

go back in time, see, and get to know him.

This is a time machine.

Yes, a time machine.

[Kurt]And I vowed to collect
every memory for you

before they were gone.

So finally, I set off.

First, I would go to England

to interview your grandma's
side of the family for you.

Then, I'd return to the U.S.
to do an epic road trip

across North America.

I'd start on the west coast of California

and motor East, stopping to interview

all of your dad's friends
and family along the way,

and I would keep driving
until the land ran out

in Saint John's, Newfoundland,

the Eastern-most point
in all of North America

where the last living piece of Andrew,

you, would be waiting for me.

I grabbed a digital video camera,

a 16-millimeter wind-up movie camera,

and an old Nikon...

I have a good idea.

I'll go back in time and
stop you from dying.

[Kurt]And set off on a quest

to bring your dad back to life.

And while I raced to rescue your history,

your grandma and grandpa quit their jobs,

dug into their savings,
and gave up everything

to move to Newfoundland
to fight for your future.

[Jackie] I met Kate and David

in the spring of 2002.

I'll never forget it.

They needed a lawyer to assist them

in making sure that their
rights and the baby's rights

were protected, I guess.

I instantly liked them.

I thought that it was so important

that they have a relationship

with that child.

[David] Our lawyer, Jackie, went to see

Betty Day, an administrator

somewhere in the hierarchy
of Child Protective Services

and told her that we, the Bagbys,

are concerned about
the safety of the baby...

because the mother is accused

of a premeditated murder.

To me, I thought they were very

emotionally intelligent in how they were...

bearing up under all
of this incredible stress.

Uh, you know, they had-
that was a Sunday afternoon.

The next morning,
they had to sit in the court room

and look at her.

[Kurt] When your grandma and grandpa

first arrived in Canada,

they were told the law is slow.

And they weren't kidding.

February 15th, prosecutor Mike Madden

acknowledged that the extradition request

had been received.

They adjourned until March 11th,

when they decided they'd
reconvene to select a date

for the extradition hearing on March 25th,

where they decided to set the date

for the extradition hearing for May 27th,

where they got caught-up
debating the French

versus English translations

of section 32 of the Extradition Act,

and decided to adjourn

for a specific translation until June 11th,

a hearing which lasted five minutes,

at which Judge Derek Greene said

he wasn't in a position to rule

on the translation and they would

adjourn again until July 30th.

And while they waited for justice,

and for you to arrive,

your grandma and grandpa
made a new home

and new friends.

[Chris] They made friends
all over Saint John's.

Uh, people in the legal community,

the medical community.

But here at St. Michael's,

yeah, they-they made-they got their-

they got right in there
and got right involved.

It seems like they've always been here.

Basically, they have more friends

in Newfoundland now than we do.

[Ian] Well, ít's a very small Province,

you know, the land mass is as big as, uh,

well, maybe not quite as big as California

but not far off.

And yet, we only have 530,000 population

scattered over that land mass.

[man] You can't go anywhere in St. John's

without running into somebody you know.

[man] I mean, ít's the
oldest city in North America.

It's a very safe place, I think.

The big, uh, drawback against living here

is getting out of here.

The weather here is terrible.

The weather is-is awful.

We have eight months of winter
and four months of bad weather.

And the other con-
very consistent thing that I hear

is that the people are so friendly.

[man] How would you, uh,
describe them to someone

who had never met them before?

Do you have an hour?

I was hoping you would ask
me about Kate and David

-who are very-
-[man] Young at heart.

Childish.

That's not the right word.

He's an engineer in the
truest sense of the word.

The guy likes Pintos, okay?

[women] Logical.

Does thing in steps, logical steps.

Comparing Andrew as a teenager
and Dave as a teenager,

they're almost twins.

[man] He's an older model.

- Wonderful.
- Wonderful.

[Clark] He always calls you "mate."

His father does "mate."

"Hello, mate."

And Kate calls you "love."

[woman] Oh, I thought she was, um, feisty.

Like a little ball of fire.

She's so tiny and then
big things come out of her.

It's great that she's on your side,

because she'll always stand up
for what she believes in

and those that she loves.

[woman] They're a rare pair.

They were from the start.

In itself, it's quite a-

story, their marriage, you know.

[Kate] I was gong to come here,
you know, for the two years

and I was gong on to
Australia for two years,

work my way around the world,

and then I was gong back to Devon.

And wasn't gong to get married

because that was not
on my list of things to do at all.

[David] I was in the Navy

stationed on an aircraft
carrier, the Hornet,

in Long Beach, California.

A guy came into the shop one day,

into the electronic shop,
and said he had two English nurses

who wanted to go to Disney Land.

We were too cheap to pay the fare.

Yeah, two cheap English nurses
and I took the little one...

and left him with the tall one,

and uh...

they didn't work out so well, but we did.

We went out 13 times
in the first two weeks.

And he could quote Shakespeare by the way,

so I knew it was all right.

Five months later, I'm married.

[David] And we moved down
to San Diego and started

working on a baby, but nothing happened.

[laughs]

You know, we tried-tried
to get pregnant for a year?

Two years with no result.

At some point, uh...

they mentioned that they might
adopt, and then, I mean,

it was...

you know, it was like a miracle.

Coming to St. Louis and sleeping in...

my mother's uh bedroom seemed
to make people pregnant.

[Kate] And then, of course,
Andrew didn't come.

He was two weeks late.

Things people should know about Andrew:

he was never late.

[beep]

[Heather over phone] Hey, ít's Heather.

It's nine o'clock, Thursday.

Shirley went into labor around
three o'clock in the afternoon

on Newfoundland time.

[Kurt] On July 18th, 2002...

you were born.

Shirley named you
Zachary Andrew Turner.

Your grandma and grandpa came
to the hospital to see you,

but Shirley wouldn't let them in the door.

They stood five feet away from
you on the other side of a wall.

They left a gift for you.

[John] Well, your dad
was an amazing person.

You're gong to get such a broad range...

of different perspectives of this guy.

You're gonna know what
his character was like.

You will know what fun he was to be with.

Um...

And you're going to know
that you can be proud of him.

[Kurt] I flew to England
to collect the memories

of your grandma's side
of the family for you

and arrived just in time
for a very special occasion.

Well, we're on the eve
of my wedding, for a start.

It's been a bit hectic.

We're just trying to fit
this interview in between

all of the preparations.

[Kurt] Your dad crossed
the Atlantic to come here

almost every summer,
but instead of heading

to the tourist attractions in London,
like everyone else,

he'd head to the outskirts to spend time

with his grandparents,
aunts, uncles, and cousins.

He was a king to me, man.

Seriously, man.

[Kurt]And in particular,
with his cousin, John.

The main thing, I guess,
about being an only child

is that I get to choose my brothers.

Others of you don't.

Sorry.

John, me brother, and Andrew,

born within a month from each other.

In fact, I think it was about 30 seconds

of, like, the normal child.

"Who are you?" "Who are you?"

And then suddenly, snap, that was it.

We often said,

"Well, least I would have
each other through life."

John would have Andrew,
and Andrew would always have John.

[John] For me, it kind of
blurred into this kind of haze

of me and Andrew running
around castles, country homes,

ardens, I mean, these fantastic,
you know, historical places.

And to us, they were places
to play hide and seek,

buy water pistols, shoot each other,

and then get told off and thrown out.

The interest in all this thing always was

just, like, the cultural
differences between

someone who'd come from the US

and someone in the UK, you know,

that would used to really
bug me, the fact that I knew

he was going to get Star Wars, you know,

kind of six months before me.

That was a killer...

because you know, it
would be like, you know,

"Don't you dare tell me
anything about this one."

He was almost kind of as well my kind of...

the chaperoning to...

discovering the U.S., really.

You hear people discriminate
against a whole country

just in one fell swoop.

You know, but I was fortunate
enough enough to know

very differently to that.

[Andrew] I really cherish that because...

it is my brother that
got married here tonight.

Bizarrely enough,
one of the things is I always wanted

Andrew be my best man at my wedding

[Kurt] As I would soon find out,
he was in good company.

I had always wanted him to be my best man.

I'd ask him to be my best man.

It just made sense to have him as best man.

I can only assume that you
would have asked him

to be your best man.

Everybody, grab your glass.

We're gonna turn over
to the best man, Andrew.

"Best man" is a little bit of
a poor title for these things.

I mean the best man is really the groom.

I've got to try and sum up
20-some odd years in...

like, two minutes or so because, you know,

then people will start
looking at their champagne

and thinking, "Bagby, shut up or die."

- [laughter]
- [Andrew] Umm...

I- I-

I miss him...

a lot.
[sniffles]

Umm...
[sniffles]

That I wish he was...

here at the wedding with us-
[sniffles]

I'd just like to just sit down
and talk to him again.

Just to have him here with us.

[Kurt] I really believe
your dad was there that day

and if we could have
heard him give his toast,

it might have sounded something like this.

[Andrew] Why am I standing up here?

I guess part of it, I've already said.

Uh, we're brothers and I love you.

And I know you love me and, uh...

Yeah, I-I kind of need
to move on from that,

because like I said I'm a Bagby male.

We don't-we don't gush very much.

It made me realize that...

it doesn't matter where you come from.

You can meet someone
and literally, with in minutes,

you can be closer than someone
you've known for 20 years

and someone who may just
end up being as a friend

for rest of your life.

[man] And last question:

Is there anything you'd
like to say to Zachary?

Zachary-[laughs] right, uh...

I, uh, yeah,

I hope to see you soon, Zachary.

Anyway...

[page turning]

[Kate] Jackie had been
down earlier in the day

to file the papers that we
wanted custody of the baby.

We finally went to court because we-

- You mean family court?
- Yes, in family court.

You know, they - they negotiated with her.

I think, you know that already
and - and what access they got

with Shirley, they negotiated.

[Kate] We were coming up with agreements

with this accused murderer, and
the Shirley Turner came up with

something else just at the moment

when it was all looking good.

She always did that
so that it was extended.

It was like, "I don't
have to pay for my lawyer.

You have to pay for yours.

So the longer I could make it, it's better.

You know, you'll run out of money."

But then she finally agreed
to give us one hour a week...

in unified family court.

[Kurt] Shirley delayed your
grandma and grandpa

from meeting you for almost a month

and had them treated like common criminals

in order to see you.

She required that during
their one-hour visit,

they be fully searched
and monitored by a supervisor

while she waited in the next room.

[man] When did you first meet him?

Meet him personally
or meet him by seeing the light

in Kate and David's eyes?

[Kate] I mean we were
searched and everything.

I couldn't wait for him to search.

I would have zipped off
all my clothes and be...

as long as I could get
to that baby, you know?

We went around the
corner and there was this...

overpowering thing that- [gasps]

[David] We did not do complete
tug-of-war, though.

- [Kate] No.
- [David] I just...

gave him to Kate.
[laughs]

No, no, we shared.

[David] No, we took turns.

The next visit, he was really-

[Kate] The next time he was dirty,

so I changed his diaper and
that's when he opened his eyes

to just kind of look at me,

and that's when I said to David,

"Oh my God, he's Andrew."

[Jackie] I had seen lots of
pictures of Andrew at this point

and even, you know,
pictures of him as a child

and I thought...

"Holy crow," you know, "there's no doubt."

[Kate] We wanted more time.

So we went back,
and this time, she accused us

of keeping him beyond the time

so that he was distraught
when he went back to her.

She'd try a lot of manipulations
without thinking them through

and this one was, you know,
a no-brainier really.

If she accuses us of doing
anything wrong to the baby...

were she's indirectly accusing
Marine of being a slouch.

- [man] The supervisor?
- The supervisor.

You know, Marine’s not gong to take that.

So she just didn’t think it through.

[Kurt] While your grandparents and Jackie

battled Shirley for more time
with you in family court,

the law in the extradition
proceedings was still slow.

September 19th,
the extradition hearing finally began

and evidence was finally presented.

But just as everything was
moving along smoothly

Shirley’s lawyer, Randy Pearcy,
threw a wrench into the works.

Because the authority
to proceed with these hearings

provided by the Minister of Justice
early that year

had failed to specify
subsections one or two

of section 229(a) of the criminal code,

the authority to proceed was invalid,

the 90-day limit to amend it
was now past, and therefore,

all extradition proceedings against Shirley

should be dropped so she
can get on with her life.

Judge Derek Greene now had
to rule on whether or not

to throw out the entire case,
which would take place

on October 18th, which
was delayed four days

until October 22nd, where Judge Green

told Pearcy to forget about
it and said they would

continue with the extradition
hearing on November 14th.

[boom]

Meanwhile, I came back to California,

pointed the van East toward Newfoundland

and set off across the continent on my way

to see you, stopping all over
the map to collect the memories

of a whole spectrum
of people your dad touched.

♪ Jazzy music ♪

But it was when I pulled into St. Louis

to see your grandpa's family-

[man] Are you the oldest?

Yeah, I'm the oldest.

Uh, Bob was the middle one.

He's one year younger than me.

[Kurt] That I discovered
a very special place

where your dad had left his heart.

[woman] Andrew and Bob
were very, very close.

[Jim] To - to see them around each other,

you'd think that Andrew
had grown up his entire life

around Bob.

You wouldn't know that it was, um,

once-a-summer relationship.

[woman] Bob used take Andrew out,

let him drive the truck
before he was old enough.

- [man] Yeah.
- [woman] And they'd play pool.

And my dad was very good at pool,

but then Matt came along who was even, mm,

probably better at pool.

[Mack] Well, I would say was excellent,

but he wasn't as good as me.

He probably still owes me around $30,000.

[Earlene] Hey, Mac...

is my daughter Rhonda's...

first husband.

I don't know, they just clicked.

I mean, they just clicked.

I can't explain why or anything-

Automatically my little brother.
[laughs]

It's the way I look at it.

♪ Soft piano ♪

We just become friends.

Yeah, this is our clubhouse,
which me and Bob had.

And...

he used to love to come down here.

And as soon as he'd hit town,
we'd come out here

and we'd just stay for days.

David and Kate and them would come out,

always had big barbecue or fish fry,

take the jon boat and head up the river,

huge cabin.

I mean, I've gotten to the point

where we didn’t even have
to think about who was gonna

drive the boat íf Andrew-

[woman] At nighttime,

they'd stack up the
logs and build a bonfire

and we would buy fireworks.

And it would be beautiful,
'cause it was real dark-

[man] ...check and see íf you're hurt

when you're gong to be a damn doctor

you gotta know yourself.

I said, "If you were smart,
you'd be a gynecologist."

[woman] Doctor came into the room

and, uh, said he had bad news.

He said that the cancer...

had spread...

to his bones and to his liver.

And I look at him and said, "I want truth."

He said, "three to six months."

[Mack] I mean I can come down
here any time I want,

I lost...

I lost all interest in a lot of things

when Bob died, for some reason.

[Earlene] I know it was
hard on Andrew, too.

[unintelligible] brought
me a little note letter.

Bob was very proud of him.

can do, I'll be there.

Oh, I wish I could be there

[laughs]

Zachary, you'll never know what you missed.

[beep]

[Kurt] On November 14th, 2002,

Judge Derek Greene declared that a properly

instructed jury could
likely find Shirley guilty.

And ordered her incarcerated

in the Clarenville Correctional
Center for Women

awaiting a decision
for the Minister of Justice

to surrender her to the United States.

She always seemed to know
exactly when to turn nice.

And it was a pretty
obvious time to turn nice.

[Kurt] Suddenly, Shirley turned around

and gave your grandma
and grandpa custody of you

for as long as she was in prison.

We could stop in and see him
whenever we liked.

And we did.

They were so excited,
and it was Christmas Eve and...

you know, it had
started to snow a little bit

and the doorbell was ringing
and someone showed up

with a present and then,
I think Alan Goodricky,

who was a professor,
one of Andrew’s professors,

he showed up with a...

something, I don't know
what, and then you know,

"finally, I said, "What do
you got, like, the Magis

showing up at the-
[laughs] at your house?"

[woman] We went to church
with them on Christmas Eve.

If Zachery got fussy, uh, you know,

they would pick him up
and they would feed him

and they walk to the back of the church.

If there's people in this church

that don't know the five of us.

It looks like these are the grandparents,

we're the parents,
and Zachary is our child.

I said, "We look like terrible parents!"

[woman] He was besotted
with them, the child was.

You know, no one could
comfort him, only Kate.

They were so happy-

[Kurt] But it wasn't
all sweetness and light.

You came with strings attached.

The reason we reach consent
and reason she reached consent

is if you reach consent...

you have some control.

We accept a phone call a day in from jail

to talk about Zachary.

Which a foster home
would have done anyways.

[automated voice] This is Aliant Telecom.

You have a collect call from-

[over phone] Shirley.

[automated voice] You may press one now

to accept the charges.
[beep]

Thank you.

[David] Hello?

- [Shirley] Hi.
- [David]. Yeah, hi.

We'd bring him up to the
prison for a weekly visit.

That was an astounding...

imposition.

Each week, they would
drive two hours to the jail

where Shirley was so that she
would be able to see her son

and to follow the visitation rights,

because just as Kate and David
wanted visitation rights,

um, they had to honor
Shirley's visitation rights.

And in the winter.

But the weather, needless
to say, in Newfoundland-

The weather here is terrible.

[woman] To make that journey was awful.

Only Kate and David would
have done it really, I think.

Nobody else would have done it.

The one guard the one day
said to Kate and David

speaking to Zachary,

"Zachary, I hope, um,
someday you will realize

how brave and courageous
your grandparents are."

Like, I think if I could be
a quarter of the grandma

that Kate is, I'll be such a success.

You know, seeing them with Zachary,

just to see the looks on their faces, Kurt,

when - when-when they'd
have him, you know-

[Jackie] You know to see them so happy...

and then, you know...

that ended, didn't it?

♪ Acoustic fingerpicking ♪

[Kurt] Now crossing
the east coast of the U.S.,

I was almost to you.

I pulled off the main
road for one last stop:

a small town, Utopia,
where your dad had spent

the last four months of his life.

It was here that I would
find the only people

who knew what he was like as a doctor,

just days before they would graduate

and scatter to the winds.

[woman] Oh, Latrobe
is famous for Mr. Rogers-

[man] Of, uh, children's TV fame.

[Jennifer] Rolling Rock beer,

ít's the birthplace
of professional football...

though, some would argue that.

Strickler's Pharmacy.

I'm told that the Banana Split
was invented here in Latrobe.

And Arnold Palmer.

[man] Mr. Palmer's a very important figure

in this community.

[man] This is a community where people
don't even lock their doors.

[Kurt] Your dad's door was
directly across the street

from the hospital, giving him
a 30-second commute to work.

[Man] And I said, "Can I call you Andy?"

And he goes, "Actually, I don't like Andy."

[man] He said, "But you can call me Andrew,

you can call me Bagby,
you can call me Bags."

[woman] I never did.
[laughs]

[Kurt] 10 minutes after I arrived,
doctor Bill DeCuchillo

picked me up to show me around town.

His class.

It it was Bill DeCuchillo.

[Kurt]And after hanging
with Bill for a short while,

I completely understood why.

This is yours to take
with you in your travels

to remember the chief resident's office.

They were like Mutt and Jeff.

[man] They were Tweedledee
and Tweedledum.

[Greg] Bill was just devastated,
as we all were,

but especially so.

I think Bill had spent more time with him.

And I-know that as a third-year resident,

Clark was quite close with him.

He was this-this surgical
resident from Syracuse.

Being a former surgical
intern, that's a big deal.

They're all about cutting and

what we do is a little bit different.

It's more about people.

I would say to him, um,

"Now, you go out there and you go,"

and you listen to the heart
and you talk to those people

because, you know, like, people talk.

They're not just unconscious all the time.

[Kurt] Your dad also had an office visit

every Monday afternoon at the last place

he was ever seen alive:

a clinic in the small town of Salzburg,

a beautiful 30-minute drive
away through the country,

past a lovely spot called
Keystone State Park.

He was already, just
within a couple of months,

already getting patients to Cali

and specifically ask for him.

Hi, I'm Dr. Bagby.

People trusted him when
he walked into a room.

Medicine's a little like being a detective.

Does anyone else in your
family experience this?

You think of people who have passed,

you can't help but paint
a rosy glow around them.

More than half of it...

is being able to get a story on somebody.

It's not what's happening in this case.

I'll always be grateful to him
because he diagnosed

my nephew's cancer,
and he diagnosed it early enough

that he was able to get complete treatment.

He was really pretty
outstanding at this stuff.

He was told he may never have children.

He just has a newborn baby.

[man] He always told me
that he wanted to practice

in a town the size of Latrobe and be, like,

the doc of the town, know everybody,

and know everybody's family.

[Kate] And we really
thought he'd found heaven.

But we packed our bags and went to bed

because we knew were gong to be leaving
the next morning.

[David] And we stayed in-in
the upstairs spare bedroom

of Andrew’s house.

[Kate] The next morning,
we saw him off at 6:30.

And as I said, that's when
I noticed he was blinking

for the first time.

And he did that when he was a little boy

when he was nervous
or worried about something,

just blink...

blink, blink.

And I wanted to say to him,

"Oh, Andrew, what's the matter?"

He stood up.

And I remember he looked
at us such a long time and-

but he came over and he
kissed me and kissed his dad

and then he got halfway into that room

and he came back and kissed us again,

and we went with him and he
kissed us again at the door,

and then he got across the hospital there

down that alley and just went...

[medical beeping]

And he was gone.

That was the last time until...

we saw him dead.

"[woman] And I can remember
Andrew saying, "If I-

if I die tomorrow, all I want you to do

is sit and, um,

toast a beer to me.

Do you remember that?

When his parents had finished cleaning

out his apartment, they gave me...

his last...

beer.

We have one bottle remaining.

We're going to crack
Andrew's last Fuller's ESB

right now and, uh,

Kurt and I are going to sip it together.

Little toast to our friend.

To Andrew, my good friend.

I can't wait to see you again.

[engine running]

And then, of course,

the unthinkable happened again.

They let her out of jail again.

And we had to give him back.

On January 10th, 2003.

[Kurt] Shirley was out of money

and out of a lawyer.

So she wrote directly to judge Derek Greene

who responded through his
secretary with instructions

on how to write her
own appeal of his decision

to incarcerate her
while awaiting an order

from the Minister of Justice
to surrender her to the States.

[woman] I have a few friends
who are judges and...

no, [laughs] there's no way...

they would ever have responded...

in the way that judge responded to Shirley.

[Kurt] She did and was
let back onto the streets by-

- Judge Gail Welsh.
- Judge Gail Welsh.

[Kurt] Welsh refused to even consider

prosecutor Mike Madden's argument

that Shirley’s appeal was frivolous,

even though multiple Legal
Aid Commission attorneys

had reviewed her appeal

and refused to waste their time
representing her.

[Kate] And íf you could have seen-

I knew that we were gong to be

seeing Shirley turn and walk free

the minute that woman walked
into the room, Judge Welsh.

She was almost fawning with Shirley Turner,

as-as I saw it.

"Oh, Dr. Turner," she said.

[Kurt] I recognize that
you're not represented,

but also know that, as a doctor,
you're quite capable,

so I'm gong to run-

Dr. Turner, I'm not trying to exclude you.

However, the argument
would work to your benefit.

That's why I'm particularly interested

in Mr. Madden's response.

I'd taken Zachery to prison,

I'd sat in their same little room with her,

and here I am having to listen to this

and the judge fawn on this woman.

[Kurt] And Welsh actually
asked an accused murderer

to promise she'd behave herself.

"If I make an order giving
you judicial interim release"

it would be on the basis that
you would not attempt to flee

or hide or avoid subsequent
judicial proceedings

related to this matter?

Yes.

Is that completely understood by you?

Yes, I completely understand.

And here, David and I,
as if we don't even exist

and we don't exist.

They don't care about us.

They don't even care about the victim.

[Kurt] She concluded that-

And this is from her written decision.

[Kurt] Dr. Turner's
detention is not necessary

in the public interest.

While the offense with which she is charged

is a violent and serious one,

it was not directed at the public at large.

There is no indication of
a psychological disorder

that would give concern
about potential harm

to the public generally,
as her crime, while violent,

was specific in nature.

She is saying, in effect,

if I understand that-that sentence,

even if she did it...

she's not a danger to the community

because she's already killed the only one

she wanted to kill.

He's the one she was mad at.

He's dead.

So she's not likely to kill again.

And I find that logic absolutely atrocious.

Most of us do not kill people who anger us.

We go kick a door

Scream and shout.

Some of us throw a punch.

But we don't set them up and kill them.

You have here a human being

who thinks they have
the right to kill other people

who anger them.

And you still let them out
in the general populace.

I find that appalling.

[Kurt] She was, again,
let go on $75,000 in sureties,

not one penny of which had to be paid

and with that the government of Canada

let a probable premeditated
first-degree murderer

walk the streets...

again.

And they gave you back to her.

And after that, things got really weird.

We went and and wrote another consent order

and we agreed to a schedule of visits

with, like, three or four hours

three times a week,

and an overnight every two weeks.

We got them to let us have more contact...

with Shirley...

in order to-

-passing back and forth-
-passing back and forth-

Otherwise, we never could have done it.

[ringing]

Because we would always have to arrange

for a third party.

And then that third party
would be not available

and that-we saw that we'd never get visits

with the baby because she
could always find a reason

that there was nobody there, you know?

So this evolved into...

us actually spending a great deal of time

with Shirley Turner.

In order to be around Zachary.

What kind of things did you do?

- Go to the mall.
- [Kate] Go to the movies,

swimming lessons, we took him to.

She came here bold as brass,

coming to be in our face kind of thing.

[Helen] I had e-enormous fears for them.

I had a fear that Shirley would...

go for them.

And they didn't seem to be...

worried for themselves.

In fact, they said weren't.

That at this point, that they didn't care.

[man] Can you describe what
the process was like for you?

-Disgusting
-Oh, disgusting.

But going up to the door, I mean-

Having to be with her.

It's just...

nauseating.

We religiously did not talk about the case.

-She tried to suck us through-
-She brought it up one time

And she'd talk about, um,

you know, "Was Andrew's hair
light when he was a baby?"

And we'd just shut up.

I thought it was like being at war.

Nobody wants to do
it, but you got to do it.

So, facing this bitch-

It's the price we had to pay

to make sure we had a good connection

with Zachary.

He knew us, we knew him.

So that when she finally went to prison-

He had a smooth transition into our life.

I just feel awe about that.

I- I-I can't, uh...

I don't know how they did it, Kurt.

I don't know how they did it,
but I know why they did it.

[birds chirping]

♪ Emotional piano ♪

[Kurt] And finally,

after thousands of miles and memories,

on a rainy Sunday afternoon,

we met.

♪ Soft piano ♪

- [Kurt] Hey, little bud!
- [woman] Hi, Zachary!

Hello.

This is your uncle Kurt.

[woman] Aww!

[overlapping chatter]

[woman] There we go.

[laughs]

He knew your daddy from
when he was a little boy.

[woman] Yeah?

[indistinct chatter]

[Kurt] Beth, is there anything that you

would like to say to Zachary?

Oh, wow.

Without tearing up here? Uh...

♪ soft piano ♪

First of all, I saw your pictures...

and you are a very cute kid

and you look exactly like Andrew.

Definitely the cheeky
Andrew face, definitely.

- Ah.
- [laughter]

[Clark] Zachary, you're a lucky little boy.

And you're an unfortunate little boy.

Your father, who you'll never know...

was such an amazing guy,

and he touched so many people...

in such a short period of time.

[woman] It's not just
a bunch of... stories.

He was a real person.

Quite frankly, don't
let anybody lie to you,

wouldn't eat anything green
until he went away to college.

Zachary is asleep in the other room.

He's spending the night.

[Clark]And you're an unfortunate little boy

because you're more than
likely to grow up without...

your biological father...

or your biological mother.

But with a little bit of luck...

you'll get to grow up
with Andrew's parents.

And let me tell you this:

they did the most amazíng job.

You couldn't ask for two better people.

[Kate] [singing]
Grandma loves you, yes she does.

Granddad loves you, yes he does.

Daddy love you, yes he does.

Uncle Kurt's here and he loves you too.

We all love you all we can.

Darling, darling little man.

[Clark] And so from that perspective,

you're the luckiest
little boy in the world.

They love you more than life itself.

And íf you ever need anything,

I'm not far away, either.

And know we'll be there for you

in every way that he can't be.

Zach, when you're
old enough and you watch this,

if you ever want to talk to me personally,

or you want to come and see me

you have an open invitation
and you should know that.

And you're loved and I love you and

I care about the person
you're going to become.

We love him and we do simple things

- like send him books.
- Happy Birthday.

- We can't wait to meet him.
- I hope to get the chance...

to meet you.

I hope, uh, I'm Uncle Ken to Zachary.

[man] If you're anything like Andrew...

it's going to be good.

I think that you'll turn out just great.

[man] This is student affairs.

Are you-are you a student?

Who knows? Maybe someday,

you'll be applying here
to the faculty of medicine.

[man] Does this look exciting?

We are going to do an interview.

[woman] Even though
things started tragically,

you know, he's the
blessing Andrew left behind.

[Kurt] I parked the van two blocks away

because it was the only vehicle for miles

with California plates that
would give away to Shirley

that I was in town.

- Sort of a stealth van.
- [Kurt] Exactly.

[Kurt] If she knew,
I was afraid she would find excuses

to withhold you so that I couldn't see you.

[doorbell rings]

Every time the doorbell rang,

I hid in the back bedroom

as it could have been her

just dropping by unannounced.

[over phone] Hi, Dave. Hi, Kate.
This is Shirley.

[Kurt] On the days we didn’t have you

I discovered your dad's
medical school world,

met his classmates,

found more footage of him for you...

And finally,

I found myself face-to-face

with the thing that had
set me on this journey

in the first place.

One of the major things that Andrew and I

did together, though, uh,

or that we had in common was, uh,

photography.

Sometimes, we'd bring the cameras out

and go around the lake
and around the pond

and take some pictures around there.

I told Andrew, I'd say,
"Listen, you're gonna have to, like,"

show me a few tricks or whatever

"and show me some of
your pictures" and then-

I'd still love to see some
of the pictures that he took

through medical school and I've never seen

any of them.

♪ Gentle piano ♪

[Anthony] Him and his
dad had done quite a bit

of photography together, and, uh,

right after this happened,

fired out an email saying
we should try to think of some

sort of memorial award.

And I felt like that would
be something also that

his dad would really feel honored by

and then have a wall in the medical school

to be able to say, you
know, year after year,

"you know, "These are the winners

and people could sit
there and look and be like,

"Wow, " you know, "look at this."

I think I have a meeting tomorrow morning

to, uh, participate in
the judging tomorrow.

I find it interesting that you say that

you hadn't heard that.

I wonder if part of it was eventually maybe

have his dad independently say,

"Oh, who took this picture?

It's a really nice picture."

And have him say, "Oh, me."

I don't know.

But ít's something he did.

[camera bulb flash]

[Kurt] On July 18, 2003,

you turned one.

[Kurt] Shirley decided to
hold a birthday party for you

at McDonald's.

[Kate] She started to open presents.

Well, he wasn't interested in presents.

He wanted to get down.

So when he got down,

he made for me.

Shirley was very, very angry.

So she said,

"He loves you more than me.

Why don't you take him?"

Zachary always...

from the time he could choose...

would choose Kate over her.

[woman] That was obvious and...

other people talked about it.

[David] Kate is a

warm and loving mother.

She was a phony mother.

[Shirley] I love you.

Mommy loves you.

Yes, I do.

She knew the motions,

but there's no warmth in her.

[Shirley] Zachary, love you baby.

Mommy loves you.

Mommy loves you.

She said that she had kids

and that she wasn't interested
in living with them either.

Andrew said she kind
of went off to medical school

- and left them.
- [woman] And she said

that they lived with their fathers

and she said that children were more

trouble than they were worth.

[Vero] I believe she's using
her own children now

to manipulate the system

and to make Kate and David suffer.

Even if she goes to jail.

Fortunately, there are enough people here

who are in the, uh, in the system,

the justice system, the
child protection system...

that I know personally who...

have told me

that that will not happen.

[Kurt] The next hearing
in the extradition process

was set for September 25th,

your dad's 30th birthday,

where she would likely be re-incarcerated

and at last, returned
to the U. S. for trial.

But for now,

it was time for me to go home.

I have to say bye-by now?

Gonna say bye-bye?

Bye-bye to your Uncle Kurt.

Can you give him a hug?

Can I have a hug?

[David] Grab him and take it.

[blows raspberries]

Was that funny?

Was that funny?

Bye-bye, sweet pea.

Bye-bye, sweet pea.

I'll see you later, buddy.

You'll be a little bigger
next time I see you.

[Danette] He had just completed

the child health checks that they do.

He's head of his time, he's doing great.

He's up to par on everything,

but, err, he doesn't like to wave goodbye.

[Kurt] Bye-bye.

Bye-bye.

Bye-bye-bye, bye-bye-

[Danette] One of them said,

"That's fine because, you know,

he's got lots of time to I earn that."

[Kurt] Is there anything
you'd like to say to Zachary?

[man] I'm hoping that I'm gong to have

all the opportunity
to say those things to Zachary.

[Kate] We had been out, we came back here,

there was a little card in the door

from Constable Walsh

saying that would we contact him.

I was here.

Mark and I were here.

I was at my house.

I was home

watching the six o'clock NTV News

and...

the next thing, I saw a picture

of Shirley and Zachary

and saying that-

They were missing

and I was just screaming

at the top of my lungs.

And I immediately fell to the floor.

I immediately went over to their apartment.

- And we came here.
- So we just left

and got in the car and went over there.

[Kate] Our vicar came
by because he'd heard-

I'll never forget that moment.

They're gonna find them,
they're gonna be okay.

You're overreacting.

You're gonna think the worst.

You know, she's probably gone for a-

My first thought was that she had left.

She had taken him and run.

[Jackie] She wouldn't do that.

She couldn't possibly do that.

There was about two or three hours of

uncertainty or-

Emotion was overwhelming.

They called us and told us

that they were doing a search of the beach

out in Conception Bay South.

I thought, "They doing that for a reason ."

[Danette] I had received a call.

They were having a press conference on

the Turner case.

I went to Father Chris.

I just whispered to him,

"I think you better stay,"

because I think I'm
gonna be coming back here

"with some really bad news."

He told me that they had found a baby.

Along with an adult.

I knew then that it was two bodies.

They were working to
identify the bodies and-

[unintelligible]
[doorbell rings]

[Kate] We came to the door

and it was Jackie and Constable Walsh.

And I was saying, "Oh my gosh,

somebody's with them
now trying to tell them ."

They went in and I told them.

And...

what I saw after that,

I will never forget in my life.

[screaming]

[David] Great absolute vicious rage.

Someone has done that to someone you love.

If the person who did this had been here,

I'd kill them.

Period, no questions, kill them.

Strangle that fucking bitch

right here, right now,

period, no question, kill them.

[disorienting noises]

[Kate] And then,
we went to have to identify him

and we couldn't touch him...

because they said he was forensic.

[David] He hadn't been
through the autopsy yet.

There was this table and...

saw the white sheets up all around him but

with a white sheet over a body,

you could see over sheets.

Clearly, it was his-

it was him.

It's really him.

[soft crying]

And then Kate's legs quit.

She just went straight to the floor and-

David was...

lying on top of Kate on the floor

and we managed to get him out.

I don't know how we did it, Kurt.

I don't know how I got out myself.

Their poor little baby.

The summary of the evidence

against Shirley Turner.

[Kurt] Part two.

In July of 2003,

Shirley met a man at a bar

in downtown St. John 's.

They went out twice

until his friends showed
him articles on the web

saying she was accused
of killing her last boyfriend.

He told her he didn’t
want to see her anymore.

She then called and left over
200 messages on his phone

including one saying that she was pregnant

and that he needed to-

[David] Step up to the plate
and be a fucking man.

[Kurt] She wasn't, as her autopsy showed.

The night she killed you,

she made a phony phone
call from her apartment

to a friend’s answering machine

claiming to be at this
man's house with you.

She took your brother
TJ's car at about 11:38 that night

and drove to the man's house.

She got lost along the way
and asked a woman for directions

along this road around 12:45 AM.

She parked behind his house,

left a used tampon
and photos of the two of you

on his property, completing her attempt

to frame this man
for what she was about to do,

then took you down
to the ocean behind his home.

A night watchman the area
thought he heard a baby crying

in the distance around 2:30 AM.

Shirley took her prescription for Ativan

prescribed to her
by psychiatrist Jean Do us set,

mixed it into your formula,
then took some herself.

The only good thing we know about this

is that you were not conscious

and you did not suffer.

She then-

she then walked to the edge of a pier

and with you strapped
to her stomach with a sweater,

she jumped into the Atlantic Ocean.

[splash]

[Shirley] Mommy loves you.

Yes, I do.

Mommy loves you.

Did you have a nice nap?

What did you dream about?

Mommy loves you.

Mommy misses you.

[Kate] He was found face upwards

with his eyes wide open

and the policeman who found him

said that, um,

he had wrapped him in a blanket

rather than a plastic bag and, uh,

he and another officer

carried him gently back

and he made very sure that he kept the body

very far away from the wicked woman

who had murdered him.

When we came here,

David and I realized
what Shirley Turner was.

She was the devil.

But people think that you're some kind of

basic religious nut

if you believe in the devil.

[woman] I haven't
prayed since Zachary died.

I haven't-

I have some issues
that I have to deal with, I-

You know,
my faith has been tested by this.

[woman] It was a beautiful service.

A real tribute to the little boy.

Oh, I don't know how many people were here.

Probably three or 400 people, maybe more.

I don't-I don't recall.

I've never seen a coffin...

so small before.

They shouldn't have them that size.

He was in his little suit,

[unintelligible]

[Kurt] What went in it?

[Heather] What went in it?
His little ball...

and...

I don't remember if she put a truck in.

Lots of kisses and hugs
and tears went in it.

Lot's of hopes and dreams.

[Kurt] Your grandma and
grandpa went back to England

and spread your ashes with your dad's.

They went back to St. Louis

and spread your ashes with your dad's.

[Kate] [crying] I didn’t go with him.

[Kurt] Andrew wanted to be great cremated.

Oh, yes.

-Yes, it-
-What bothers Kate is

that she did not go with him

to the crematorium

and stay with him right to the end.

He went from the funeral home

to the crematorium all alone...

in plastic bags.

[crying]
With only his head sticking out.

Come on, Kate.

He wouldn't care about that.

[cries]

That's why we went right up

to the oven doors with Zachary.

[cries]

This is what that
fucking bitch didn't know.

Or maybe she did know

this is what she's leaving.

Maybe she did know.

If she thought about it at all,

she didn't give a good goddamn.

And this is what I hate her for.

I hate her for a lot of things.

Stealing the rest of Andrew's life

and virtually all of Zachary's life

and then this.

Leaving us like this.

A couple of times,
lying in there in bed at night...

I considered...

fixing the problem myself.

Pick a night when
Kate took a sleeping pill,

so she wouldn't know I was up.

Get up in the middle of the night

dream up a pretext, go kill Shirley,

and come back and go back to bed.

So Kate would not know.

That way...

number one, she could not harm Zachary

And number two,

even if they did catch me at it

I'm-I'm the first one they'd come
looking for, of course.

But Kate could truthfully say

she didn't know that I was doing it.

So she might still get to...

bring up Zachary, get him started

even if I go to-go to prison in Canada.

We've worked through the possibilities.

Ad nauseam.

Suppose we grab Zachary and run.

Number one, we got to get off the island

and into the land.

The big, uh, drawback against living here

is getting out of here.

[David] There's only three ways to do that:

ferry, boat, airplane.

The airplane and the ferry would be covered

as soon as Zachary's missing.

We'd have to hire a boat somehow

which means you take in a third party

to the crime of kidnapping.

We can't go home.

We cannot ever identify ourselves

as ourselves.

Have cash only stashed
all around the country.

Zachary would never be
allowed to know his family,

our friends.

So, that path...

Big, big, big, big risk
with a-with a horrible life.

So that's out.

Legal approaches we might have taken:

invent something,

file affidavits, saying, you know,

Shirley slipped one night

and we were around
and said a threat of some kind

that might get her incarcerated.

But that would just be
our word against hers.

The best shot we had

at keeping Zachary alive

was I kill her myself.

Other than doing that,

I can think of no other way...

to save Zachary from that bitch.

[sighs]

[laughs]

There's a logic in it.
[laughs]

But I didn't do it.

Because I trusted government to do its job.

Government is supposed to stop that,

so I don't have to do it personally.

In this case, they didn't even
get her off the street

and they even gave her
a baby to look after.

My understanding is that the
proper protocols were followed.

I have asked my officials to, uh-

did ask him some time ago to...

follow up with the-with the board

to see, in fact, that, uh,

everything, uh, all the proper
protocols had been adhered to.

They were gambling Zachary's life,

they were gambling with the lives of

anyone in the general population

that Shirley came in contact with.

We the-the vast majority of good people

who don't kill people...

are stuck.

We got nowhere to go.

We figured we'd hold a press conference

and try to push for...

changes in law.

So the morning that we had

scheduled the press conference,

I was in the shower
and Kate came in with the phone.

It's Jackie.

She says, "We can't
hold a press conference.

Technically, there is still a press...

ban in place."

I said, "Fuck 'em fuck 'em ."

If they're willing to
lock me up for talking

while they let murderers walk around free,

"just fuck 'em ."

We believe that Shirley Turner
bears 100 percent

of the responsibility

for the murder of our son, Andrew.

We believe that the legal system

helped her to kill our grandson, Zachary,

When Shirley Turner was formally charged

and escaped to Canada.

We naively thought she would
be sent back to Pennsylvania

within a few weeks at the most.

When we learned that she was out on bail

under an order from Justice David Russell,

we were numb!

Numb!

[over phone] Good afternoon,
Judge Russell's office.

[Kurt] I'm a, uh, documentary filmmaker.

And I'm doing a, uh, documentary

about the Zachary Turner
case and was curious-

[over phone] I think all he
might have done one time

was probably a bail review.

Is that what you're calling about?

Yeah, It was December 12, 2001 actually, yeah.

[over phone] Oh, okay.

Judge Russell was sorry,

but he won't be able to be interviewed

in connection with that matter.

[Kurt] Crown prosecutor Mike Madden

didn’t even argue against her release

on bail that day and instead

entered the courtroom with an agreement

already in place for her release.

[Mike] Mike Madden speaking.

[Kurt] I'm a, um, documentary filmmaker

who was, uh, a friend of Andrew Bagby.

- [Mike] Yes.
- Wondering if you would

be, uh, interested
interviewed for my-

[Mike] No, I don't think so.

[Kurt] Not one penny of her
bail sureties had to be paid

by anyone who signed,
nor do they have to show proof

of ability to pay.

[Kate] No money's put up.

No money at all.

It's useless.

Yeah, they could have put
20 cents or 20 million dollars,

it wouldn't make any difference.

Her psychiatrist put up the the 65

and that's another issue all together.

[over phone] Hi, you've
reached Dr. Doucet's office.

Please leave your name telephone number

and a brief message.
[beep]

Hi, I'm calling for Dr. Doucet.

My call was not returned.

[David] Time,
we thought it was all about time.

Each step in the extradition process,

each incomprehensible delay.

Four weeks, six weeks,
over and over again.

There was another knife in our guts.

"The law is slow," they told us and it was.

Our lawyer Jackie went to see Betty Day,

an administrator somewhere
in the hierarchy of

Child Protective Services
and told her that we are concerned

about the safety of the baby
because the mother is accused

of a premeditated murder and...

nothing happened.

[over phone] Hello, Department
f Health and Community Services.

Hi, I'm trying to reach Elizabeth Day.

[automated] Elizabeth Day is not available.

Please record your message.

[Kurt] My call was not returned.

If you were in the Family Health Services,

wouldn't you want to know
who this accused murderer

was arranging for her baby to stay with?

Nobody ever came to see us.

Even before we left Sunnyvale,
we got a police report that said

that we were good people.

Friends and my employer were set

to write letters that we were
upright members of the community.

Nobody asked us for that.

We could have been
convicted child molesters

in California

- They didn't care.
- Nobody would have known.

[Kurt] She wrote directly
to Judge Derek Greene

who responded through
his secretary with instructions

on how to write her own
appeal of his decision

to incarcerate her.

- [Derek] Mr. Kenny?
- [Kurt] Yes?

[Derek] This is Chief Justice Greene.

What I did is...

on the record, speaks for itself.

Okay, okay.

[David] Under an order
from Justice Gail Welsh

Shirley Turner was released on bail again,

and we went numb again,

and we had to give Zachary
right back into the hands

of Andrew’s killer.

[Kurt] There is no indication
of a psychological disorder

that would give concern
about potential harm

to the public generally.

Shirley’s last boyfriend before Andrew

told Pennsylvania police that
Shirley attempted suicide

on his front doorstep
after he broke up with her

and had threatened to kill him.

There is no indication
of a psychological disorder

that would give concern
about potential harm

to the public generally.

Eight people had
restraining orders against her.

There is no indication
of a psychological disorder

that would give concern
about potential harm

to the public generally.

If any one had bothered
to check the jail records

during her two-month stay,
the prison psychiatrist

put her on suicide watch
every 15 minutes.

She was incredibly disruptive
and even threatened to stab

another inmate with a fork.

There is no indication
of a psychological disorder

that would give concern
about potential harm

to the public generally.

As her crime, while violent,
was specific in nature-

The man she was terrorizing
called the police

and reported Shirley,
but because he didn't

leave his name, no one took any action.

As her crime, while violent,
was specific in nature-

[David] Andrew rejected
her and she killed him.

Zachary rejected her.

Paid the price, too.

[Kurt] As her crime,
while violent, was specific in nature-

[woman] Of course, the crime was specific.

She didn’t shoot into a crowd of people.

[David] We could not conceive how

they could let a probable
premeditated murderer...

probable premeditated murderer
walk the streets.

[Kurt] Dr. Turner's detention is not

necessary in the public interest.

Who the hell is the system protecting?

[Kurt] Dr. Turner's detention is not

necessary in the public interest.

And we waited and we waited and we waited

for the authorities to do their job

and lock her up!

You got a dead body with five holes in it

and it means nothing.

Under an order from Justice Gail Welsh.

[over phone]
Good afternoon, Court of Appeals.

Hi, may please speak
to Judge Welsh, please?

[woman] Is she expecting your call?

Uh, probably not, no.

And now, we got a second dead body

that couldn't breathe through water.

[woman] I just spoke with Judge Welsh
and she said no.

She said no, so I just
wanted to let you know.

[Kurt] Dr. Turner's detention
is not necessary

in the public interest.

[David] She had to be stopped,

the people who were
supposed to stop her didn't,

and she got to kill again.

And I'm gong to do my damnedest

to see if I can make them
him change the way they-

they deal with killers.

[Kurt] And with that,

your grandma and grandpa became activists.

We victims-

[David] We want, number one,

the whole truth public

about why Zachary died.

They've developed a, uh, program,

a support group for people who've had

a death through, uh, you know,

violent death.

[woman] Welcome to our first, uh,

Victims of Homicide Annual Vigil.

[Kate] In this last year,
I've just taken training

to become a child advocate

in the dependency court system.

[man] Jean Doucet,
the psychiatrist who posted

$65, 000 bail for Mrs. Turner

was found guilty of
professional misconduct.

[woman] It was David Bagby and his wife

who launched the complaint against Doucet

The three-person panel ordered Doucet

to undergo psychiatric counseling.

[Jackie] There was a lot of
sympathy for David and Kate.

I think it got them at least a result

that did they-that they
were hoping to accomplish.

Mr. Wick, child and youth advocate

for Newfoundland Labrador

is doing a child death review,

which is a formal investigation.

And the output of it is a report

saying "Here's why that baby died,"

and recommendations for changes

to cut the chance of that happening

in the future.

Obviously- [laughs]

once that's done,
then we would like to see

that go to whatever legislative bodies

either provincial or fed era I

can write laws to make these
recommendations real.

[woman] And a report into
the death of Zachary Turner

will be released in Newfoundland.

He was drowned by his mother.

[Kurt] Your grandma was
temporarily injured in a fall

and couldn't make the trip.

So your grandpa and I came alone.

[Darlene] Dr. Marcus Stein
conducted an exhaustive

investigation over a 15-month period.

He reached two key conclusions:

one, Zachary Turner's
death was preventable,

and two, Zachary was in his mother's care

when he should not have been.

The government has
received a scathing report

that concluded the child protection system

failed Zachary Turner.

A serious lack of judgment

at the senior management level.

Substandard child protection practices

contributed to the outcomes.

[man] There are 58 recommendations

- in the report.
- I am announcing

our action plan.

We will develop policy specific to children

whose parents are
charged with a violent crime.

The part I was most interested in,

as I said, is bail.

Why was Dr. Shirley Turner

granted judicial interim release

commonly known as bail?

This is the one question
that Dr. Marcus Stein

did not and could not answer.

[man] So that's still an open wound,
if you would.

May I?

He did say this:

"Had Dr. Turner not been released on bail

on 12 December, 2001,

or on 10 January, 2003,

my review would have been unnecessary,

Zachary would be alive today.

I would like to see parliament pass a law

denying bail to people accused of murder.

Put them on the fast track to get to trial

and get on with it, get to the truth.

The only way I can see it changing

is for every citizen cares about this

to tell his MP that this
law is stupid, change it.

And, of course, such a selfish thing to do.

She not only killed Andrew,

but she left three other
children without a mother

which is very sad for them.

[man] And what kind
of regret does that give you?

Well, if, uh, things
were different, I guess...

it's possible he'd still be alive

and rather than...

memories of just one year...

it would be, um, a lot of years around.

[man] Tough losing a little brother.

[TJ] Yeah, yeah definitely.

[David] Zachary should
be right here with me.

He should be off gong to school now

getting ready to go to school.

I'm going to continue
to scream long and loud

about bail...

for someone accused of...

what Shirley did to my son.

[bang]

♪ Acoustic fingerpicking ♪

[Kurt] I traveled the world for years

looking for what was left of your dad.

I'd made dozens of new friends.

Dr. DeCucuillo has made the trek

out to California.

But here was still one question
I couldn't answer.

How would I know when I was done?

And what was I really looking for?

[Rick] Both as spirituality and as grief...

to relocation of the
other person is essential.

[Janice] It's interesting
you should ask that.

My first response was

"That's not a person."

That is simply a mass of...

tissue and protein and...

fat and water and-

something leaves the body...

when death occurs.

[Kurt] What was I trying to find?

[Rick] To resolve our grief,

we have to be able to

accept the reality of that loss-

Who's interviewing you, Kurt?

Get our questions answered

to the extent that they can be and to...

basically surrender to the things

that we can't have answered.

[Kurt] And how would I
know when I'd found it?

I appreciate you doing this for him.

'Cause I know he talked about you a lot.

He'd talk about you.

- [Kurt] Really?
- Mm-hm.

Well, then you're not a
good movie maker, huh?

[laughter]

'Cause hat's what he always told me.

I know he-I know he loved you.

[Rick] And then to be
able to continue to live...

remembering the person.

To be able to remember their life,

not only their death.

No, no, no.

I can feel it, it's not far off.

It's too late.

[Kurt] I didn’t want to
stop making this movie.

That would mean I'd learned
everything there was to know

and finished my one last movie with him.

[Rick] Earl Groneman, again, says

"Grief is love's unwillingness to let go."

[Danette] He doesn't like to wave goodbye.

I'll miss you.

[Kurt] There were so many stories

I wanted to tell you.

And somewhere, I hope you're watching.

I almost gave up making
this film when you were killed.

I couldn't see the point anymore.

But something kept me gong.

And then one day, I realized what it was.

This film was no longer a letter to you.

It was now a letter to someone else.

[David] We thought we'd go get Andrew and...

get everything organized, whatever,

and then kill ourselves, because

- no point going on.
- [Clark] Everybody always says,

"Well what would be the difference

if one person weren't alive?"

You've still got a hell
of a lot to live for...

and you still got a lot of friends

and a lot of family

who love you very, very much.

[Heather] You are the most amazing-

I love both of you.

And the strongest people I've ever known.

- I love you guys.
- I love them very much.

I love them very much.

I love them very much.

Now, how am I gonna do this without...

- weeping?
- I admire you

and respect you so much for-

for two things:

one, for such a wonderful
young man that you raised-

[woman] Doesn't matter what happened.

They raised a wonderful man.

Thanks for bringing such a wonderful person

- into the world.
- You know, Andrew contributed

a lot to me as far as

who I am today.

We won't forget their son.

[man] And for having the strength

to make it through something like this.

[man] With what you've been through

to still be carrying on,

still to hold your heads up and keep gong

and pushing forward is amazing.

[man] They've done it in such a way

that it makes you proud to know them

and to be related to them.

I think God put some people down on Earth

just to be examples for the rest of us.

You are two very, very special people.

There's few things in my life
that have had an effect on me

like those two people.

I don't know how else-I love them.

-We love you and-
-We love them and-

We're always thinking of you.

And I think about them daily.

My thoughts are never
far from either of you.

I love them and pray for them.

God's blessings on them both.

Oh, they know I love them.

I feel very blessed, as I say,
to be among their friends.

Well, I just thank them
for being my friends

for 30-odd years.

We are very lucky
to have them as our neighbors

and our true friend.

God bless you guys and call me.

It does- [laughs]

as one of Andrew's
very good friends told us

very soon after he was murdered,

We still have children.

Kurt, Matt, and Chris...

on down the list.

I feel like I got lucky in life because...

they're another set of parents

Kate and David were a big reason why I am

the person that I am today.

We're all their kids.

I'll always be there for you guys.

I love you both dearly.

We all love you guys so much.

[man] There's really nothing
that I wouldn't do for them.

[boy] Do you feel better?

- Do you feel better?
- [Jim] [laughs]

Yeah.

Yeah, you made me feel better.

I know that no matter what,

you're going to find ways
to continue to help people,

because that's the type of people you are.

That's how good you are.

I just hope that Dave and Kate

realize how much he loved them

because just in the short
period of time that I knew him,

that was the one truth
that I knew to be absolute.

[Andrew] I'm glad I
wasn't a rebellious youth,

because it would have been
completely and utterly

fucking wasted on David and Kate Bagby.

Let me tell you.

I had my ear pierced for two weeks.

They never noticed.

I was finally sitting at the dinner table

and I was like- and I actually said to them

I'm like, "You know, Mom, Dad,

It's a good thing I'm
not looking for attention,

because hello!"

And so they have a look at it.

They're like, "Oh, that's nice."

And I love you.

And I know you love me and, uh...

Yeah, I-I kind of need to move on from that

because I am a Bagby male.

We don't-we don't gush very much.
