1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:06,000
Speaker 1: Murder in Illinois is a production of iHeartRadio. Kimberly Ellen

2
00:00:06,080 --> 00:00:10,080
Speaker 1: Phillips had an undeniable and immediate impact on the young

3
00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:14,880
Speaker 1: Chris Vaughn. Strikingly beautiful and two years older, she likely

4
00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:18,840
Speaker 1: seemed much more sophisticated and mature to the teenaged Vaughn,

5
00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:21,200
Speaker 1: who was just out of high school when they met.

6
00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:26,160
Speaker 1: Kimberly was raised in Saint Charles, Missouri, the daughter of Dell,

7
00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:30,240
Speaker 1: a lawyer, and Susan, a teacher. In high school, she

8
00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:36,080
Speaker 1: enjoyed sports, especially volleyball. One of three daughters, Kimberly was

9
00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:40,920
Speaker 1: also an identical twin. It was that identical twin, Jennifer,

10
00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:45,519
Speaker 1: who would deliver a victim impact statement after Christopher was

11
00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:50,280
Speaker 1: convicted of killing his three children and Kimberly, which means

12
00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:53,559
Speaker 1: Vaughn would face a woman who shared the features of

13
00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:56,560
Speaker 1: the wife he was sentenced to life for having murdered.

14
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:00,600
Speaker 2: He had a lot of friends before he met Kimberly.

15
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:04,520
Speaker 2: Once he met Kimberly, she kind of got in between

16
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:09,080
Speaker 2: him and any friends or oh was she called hard

17
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:11,920
Speaker 2: sad cases that Chris just wanted to take home and

18
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:15,640
Speaker 2: help him fix their problems. She would get rid of

19
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:19,399
Speaker 2: them somehow, I am not sure how, but she would

20
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:23,200
Speaker 2: make sure that Chris distanced himself between him and his friends.

21
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:27,679
Speaker 1: According to his family, when Chris and Kimberly first started dating,

22
00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 1: she consumed his world, his grades declined, and after she

23
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:36,039
Speaker 1: became pregnant, he dropped out of college. But outwardly he

24
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:40,360
Speaker 1: seemed happy, and as a couple they appeared happy, at

25
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:46,520
Speaker 1: least initially. I'm Lauren Bright Pacheco and this is murder

26
00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:50,240
Speaker 1: in Illinois, Carrie.

27
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:55,880
Speaker 2: And now do say good places a.

28
00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:05,040
Speaker 3: Fine?

29
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:13,680
Speaker 4: Teach them to.

30
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:18,120
Speaker 2: Listen to this.

31
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:26,760
Speaker 1: Like many marriages and relationships, Christopher and Kimberly Vaughan's union

32
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:31,840
Speaker 1: seemed relatively unremarkable, but people close to them, Chris's parents

33
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:36,200
Speaker 1: in particular, could see that underneath outward appearances, there was

34
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:41,280
Speaker 1: a complicated core, likely rooted in their very different upbringings.

35
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:45,680
Speaker 1: Most of what we understand about Chris and Kimberly's relationship,

36
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:50,040
Speaker 1: particularly in regards to kim and her family's behavior and

37
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:54,680
Speaker 1: attitudes towards Chris, comes from his family, But we tried

38
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:58,359
Speaker 1: to represent their relationship and marriage based on the information

39
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:01,919
Speaker 1: we were able to obtain. Again, we reached out to

40
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:06,760
Speaker 1: Kimberly's family multiple times, and to date they've declined to participate.

41
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:11,160
Speaker 1: While those close to Chris were taken aback by the

42
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:14,720
Speaker 1: way Chris entered his marriage, they weren't surprised by his

43
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 1: reaction to the situation. Here is his aunt Rose, Gail's

44
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:19,640
Speaker 1: younger sister.

45
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:22,920
Speaker 4: No, I was more shocked that.

46
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:27,040
Speaker 5: He called me and told me that he.

47
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:27,880
Speaker 4: Was going to have a baby.

48
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:33,120
Speaker 1: Talking about Chris, especially as a father, remains very emotional

49
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:33,799
Speaker 1: for Rose.

50
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 6: He actually called and tell me first, and I figured

51
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:46,080
Speaker 6: he would do the right thing, and he did so. No,

52
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 6: I was not shocked about him getting married.

53
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:53,480
Speaker 1: As we've mentioned, there had already been a number of

54
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:58,080
Speaker 1: awkward interactions between the two families, most notably a few

55
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:02,640
Speaker 1: not too successful dinners. But it was these early interactions

56
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:05,640
Speaker 1: that started to give Gail and Pierre a glimpse into

57
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:09,200
Speaker 1: what Kim's family was like, and in particular, how they

58
00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:11,760
Speaker 1: viewed Chris's family. Here's Gail.

59
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:13,760
Speaker 6: Oh.

60
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:18,800
Speaker 5: The first first time I felt really like something was

61
00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:24,720
Speaker 5: wrong with her family in liking us was when I

62
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:27,960
Speaker 5: had invited them over for dinner just to get to

63
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:31,200
Speaker 5: meet them, because we didn't really know these people. And

64
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:34,160
Speaker 5: this was after the announcement that Chris and Kim were

65
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:36,120
Speaker 5: going to be married, and I invited her mom and

66
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:39,120
Speaker 5: dad over to our house and have dinner, and we

67
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:42,920
Speaker 5: grilled some chicken, and she didn't really touch anything on

68
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:48,080
Speaker 5: her plate, and she just didn't really talk to us.

69
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:53,560
Speaker 5: And afterwards I thought it was a complete failure. I

70
00:04:55,120 --> 00:05:01,560
Speaker 5: had gone in to this dinner to try to figure

71
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:05,720
Speaker 5: out her family period, you know, get to know somebody,

72
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:09,919
Speaker 5: because these are going to be our family also. But

73
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:12,240
Speaker 5: she made it quite clear that we were not going

74
00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:17,440
Speaker 5: to be her family. And they left and went home

75
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:23,039
Speaker 5: and they didn't come back. We would offer them to

76
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:26,120
Speaker 5: come over, you know, have dinner or just sit and talk,

77
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:26,800
Speaker 5: and she said no.

78
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:30,320
Speaker 1: Even at the wedding, there was little warmth between the

79
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:34,800
Speaker 1: two families. Each side mostly kept themselves. Here again is

80
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:36,479
Speaker 1: Gail's sister Rose.

81
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:38,240
Speaker 4: Oh oh yeah.

82
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:38,640
Speaker 7: Yeah.

83
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:45,240
Speaker 6: Everybody tried to stay distant. Niceties was about all there was.

84
00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:48,159
Speaker 6: There wasn't any overly outgoingness.

85
00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:53,039
Speaker 1: It was very awkward, but by most accounts, it was

86
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:57,320
Speaker 1: still a pleasant event, although Kimberly had relayed some unpleasant

87
00:05:57,400 --> 00:05:58,880
Speaker 1: issues regarding the planning.

88
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:04,880
Speaker 4: Oh the wedding was beautiful.

89
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:08,279
Speaker 5: Leading up to the wedding though for some reason, her

90
00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:11,719
Speaker 5: mom didn't like any if the choices, and it looked

91
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:14,640
Speaker 5: like it was going to be more Kim's mom's wedding

92
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:18,720
Speaker 5: than Kimberly's wedding. And I tried to go with Kimberly

93
00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:22,320
Speaker 5: to get her stuff that they wished me to get

94
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:26,680
Speaker 5: form like the flowers, you know, and the day before

95
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:31,239
Speaker 5: the wedding or hook soon before the wedding, her mom went.

96
00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:32,800
Speaker 4: To the florist and changed everything.

97
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:37,440
Speaker 5: So it was quite a tug of war, and I

98
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:42,880
Speaker 5: tried really hard not to make waves, but it was interesting.

99
00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:48,640
Speaker 1: Gail says that dysfunctional dynamic continued after the couple exchanged vows.

100
00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:53,800
Speaker 5: When we were doing the pictures after the wedding, Susan,

101
00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:58,440
Speaker 5: that's Kim's mom's name, got very upset with I'm not

102
00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:04,119
Speaker 5: sure exactly what it was, but her mom, Susan's mom

103
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:07,680
Speaker 5: kind of collered at her and told her to straighten

104
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:10,280
Speaker 5: out and act right right there in church. And it was.

105
00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:12,640
Speaker 4: Interesting too.

106
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:16,200
Speaker 1: Another memory from the wedding day stands out for the Bonds,

107
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:19,880
Speaker 1: and it involves a comment that Susan Phillips apparently made

108
00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 1: to Pierre's mother during the reception at the Phillips home.

109
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:27,520
Speaker 5: Susan said something to my mother in law, which my

110
00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:29,800
Speaker 5: mother in law never told me what she said. But

111
00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:33,640
Speaker 5: my mother in law went home with us because that's

112
00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:37,320
Speaker 5: where she was staying for the wedding, and they left

113
00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:41,400
Speaker 5: with something that had been said between her and Susan.

114
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:45,840
Speaker 1: That comment was apparently so offensive that Gail's mother in

115
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:49,400
Speaker 1: law not only refused to repeat it, but insisted on

116
00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:51,680
Speaker 1: leaving the Phillips home immediately.

117
00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:55,080
Speaker 5: We did find out from her my mom in law,

118
00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:59,240
Speaker 5: that Susan had told her something or said something.

119
00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:01,600
Speaker 4: To her that just hurt her very badly.

120
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:05,120
Speaker 5: She did not want to stay there, so we took

121
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:07,920
Speaker 5: her home and we never found out what that was.

122
00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:11,240
Speaker 1: Pierre's mother chose to take that comment with her to

123
00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:16,040
Speaker 1: her grave. Still, the Vaughans contend they continuously tried to

124
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:18,520
Speaker 1: forge a good relationship with Kim's family.

125
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:22,560
Speaker 5: The Phillips invited us for dinner and they told us

126
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:26,160
Speaker 5: to be there at six point thirty, and she says, oh,

127
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:29,200
Speaker 5: take the whole family. Well, Kim told us, I didn't

128
00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:31,840
Speaker 5: talk to Susan, but Kim invited us over to her

129
00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:34,560
Speaker 5: mom's house in dad's house to have dinner. It's going

130
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:39,120
Speaker 5: to be a Chinese restaurant type dinner, and we were

131
00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:41,839
Speaker 5: supposed to bring our other two sons, so it was

132
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:51,400
Speaker 5: a family thing. So that dinner was again interesting. Chris

133
00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:57,120
Speaker 5: and kim tried to keep the conversation going and otherwise

134
00:08:57,160 --> 00:09:01,840
Speaker 5: it would just just fall Susan just it was either

135
00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:02,920
Speaker 5: her way or the highway.

136
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:06,240
Speaker 4: And she asked us about, you know, hunting, and.

137
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:11,400
Speaker 5: That's just the way our families have grown up through

138
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:17,240
Speaker 5: the generations of going out and shooting a deer or

139
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:21,319
Speaker 5: you know, a rabbit or a squirrel and bringing them

140
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:26,880
Speaker 5: home and making them a dinner. She pointed out quite

141
00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:31,120
Speaker 5: a few times through this dinner that we were not educated,

142
00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:33,360
Speaker 5: so we really didn't have.

143
00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:37,800
Speaker 2: She didn't want to take our word for anything.

144
00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:41,480
Speaker 5: Because we did not have the paper pedigree that she

145
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:43,880
Speaker 5: thought we were.

146
00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:44,320
Speaker 4: Supposed to have.

147
00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:49,080
Speaker 1: They're first born, Abigail, came soon after Chris and Kimberly

148
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:52,680
Speaker 1: were married, and not long after, Kimberly was pregnant again

149
00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:54,719
Speaker 1: with a couple's second daughter, Cassandra.

150
00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:57,760
Speaker 2: Kim's Baum told her that if you were breastfeeding, you

151
00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:02,800
Speaker 2: can't get pregnant. Well, it doesn't exactly shin' true.

152
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:05,640
Speaker 1: This is when Christopher decided to have a house built

153
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:08,440
Speaker 1: and use this as an opportunity to make an effort

154
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:11,400
Speaker 1: to keep the balance between the two families. He gave

155
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:13,360
Speaker 1: a lot of consideration to the location.

156
00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:16,439
Speaker 2: Chris had done a lot of surveying and checking, and

157
00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:20,640
Speaker 2: they were exactly the same amount mileage wise between the

158
00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:24,760
Speaker 2: two family fans, So he was directly in the middle,

159
00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:30,000
Speaker 2: not even a quarter mile more or less, but exactly

160
00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:33,560
Speaker 2: so many miles between two families.

161
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:37,080
Speaker 1: And then a few years after that, Kevin Chris had

162
00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:39,480
Speaker 1: their third child, a son, Blake.

163
00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:42,000
Speaker 4: So Sandy was.

164
00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:48,679
Speaker 2: Maybe fourteen months thirteen months younger than Abbey, and then

165
00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:51,120
Speaker 2: there was a little break there, and then about five

166
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:53,160
Speaker 2: years later there was Blake.

167
00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:57,040
Speaker 1: Interesting, so it's almost like the same age difference between

168
00:10:57,080 --> 00:10:57,640
Speaker 1: your boys.

169
00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:01,760
Speaker 8: Yeah, that's gonna hit me. When we had our little grandside,

170
00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:04,640
Speaker 8: I go, how this is amazing. You guys are following

171
00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:07,520
Speaker 8: in our footstep. Needless to say, her parents were not

172
00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:10,800
Speaker 8: happy about that, and.

173
00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:13,600
Speaker 1: With Chris and Kim living in their own house separate

174
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:16,360
Speaker 1: from either of the families, Gallan Pierre were able to

175
00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:18,520
Speaker 1: spend a lot more time with their grandkids.

176
00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:19,439
Speaker 4: They were great.

177
00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:23,679
Speaker 5: Chris made sure we would get to see them, you know,

178
00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:28,400
Speaker 5: like every other weekend or something. They didn't just stop in.

179
00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:31,120
Speaker 5: We always seemed to have to make an appointment to

180
00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:32,920
Speaker 5: get to see them. But when we had them, it

181
00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:37,160
Speaker 5: was fantastic. Few were smart little kids. They didn't seem

182
00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:39,360
Speaker 5: to worry about mom and dad going out the door.

183
00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:43,200
Speaker 5: We just had a wonderful time. We took them to parks,

184
00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:45,920
Speaker 5: We played in our yard. I had a big house,

185
00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:48,840
Speaker 5: so we played, you know, hide and seek, and we

186
00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:53,800
Speaker 5: did crafty things for Maddi Grau. We painted masks of

187
00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:57,760
Speaker 5: paper plates and we just had a fantastic time.

188
00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:02,480
Speaker 1: Here they are in home video dying Easter eggs the

189
00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:16,840
Speaker 1: year before the tragedy.

190
00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:16,120
Speaker 9: Out No Young One.

191
00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:19,280
Speaker 1: Chris and Pierre are seated at opposite end of the table.

192
00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:23,160
Speaker 1: Abby and Cassandra on one side, while Blake caulls down

193
00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:25,960
Speaker 1: the other, stretching over the center of the table to

194
00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:31,480
Speaker 1: dip his egg as he negotiates for access to the colors.

195
00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:35,480
Speaker 1: All involved or smiling and engaged as usual. Gail is

196
00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:38,320
Speaker 1: behind the camera. Blake turns and waves to her with

197
00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:42,440
Speaker 1: a goofy grin. I asked Gail to share what she

198
00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:45,800
Speaker 1: remembers about each of the kids. Even with the pain

199
00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:50,440
Speaker 1: that accompanies her recollections, you hear her grandmotherly pride and love.

200
00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:53,120
Speaker 10: Well.

201
00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:57,480
Speaker 5: Abigail had her mom's complexion. She was a beautiful peaches

202
00:12:57,520 --> 00:13:02,760
Speaker 5: and cream type complexion with beautiful blue eyes, and she

203
00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:08,120
Speaker 5: had an intellect that was unbelievable. She acted a lot

204
00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:11,160
Speaker 5: like her mom, but she was more giving and loving.

205
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:15,800
Speaker 5: I mean she hugged and stuff long. And then there

206
00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:19,880
Speaker 5: was Sandy. She has a little brunette with sparkly green eyes,

207
00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:23,479
Speaker 5: and we used to call her a Sander the commander

208
00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:26,880
Speaker 5: because she would tell everybody, we're going to have a play,

209
00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:29,520
Speaker 5: and you're going to be Pluto, and you're going to

210
00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:32,720
Speaker 5: be the star, and you know, things like this. She

211
00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:34,640
Speaker 5: had a mind of her own, so she was our

212
00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:38,680
Speaker 5: little stubborn one. But she I mean, she would walk

213
00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:41,679
Speaker 5: out into a room and everybody would light up. She

214
00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:45,120
Speaker 5: just had a way about her. And then there was Blake.

215
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:49,439
Speaker 5: Blake was only eight when he left, but she was

216
00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:54,360
Speaker 5: also a very smart little boy, very intelligent. She was

217
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:58,160
Speaker 5: reading books three or four years above his grade level

218
00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:02,679
Speaker 5: and understanding them and he would retain knowledge. And he

219
00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:06,480
Speaker 5: was fantastic with baseball. I mean he could give you

220
00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:11,520
Speaker 5: the stats of any player on the Cardinals team, and

221
00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:12,480
Speaker 5: he was only eight.

222
00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:14,640
Speaker 4: It was remarkable.

223
00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:18,440
Speaker 1: For most accounts, Christopher loved his children and was an

224
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:22,520
Speaker 1: excellent father. Gail shared many photos and home videos of

225
00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:26,320
Speaker 1: her son interacting with his children, like this one three

226
00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:30,080
Speaker 1: years before their deaths. Chris is seated as the kids

227
00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:34,720
Speaker 1: play the game Hangman with their grandparents outdoors. Cassandra is

228
00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:37,680
Speaker 1: running the game on a large drawing pad as Abbey

229
00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:42,080
Speaker 1: sits alongside. Blake pops up occasionally from his father's lap,

230
00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:46,000
Speaker 1: where he quickly returns to snuggle. Chris welcomes him each

231
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:48,480
Speaker 1: time with a smile and a pat once the little

232
00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:54,800
Speaker 1: boy hops back onto his lap again. We want to

233
00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:59,920
Speaker 1: acknowledge that these memories are from Chris's own family, not Kimberly's,

234
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:03,800
Speaker 1: but there is nothing to suggest Christopher would have been

235
00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:07,360
Speaker 1: capable of harming his children. Here's his aunt Rose.

236
00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:11,280
Speaker 6: He was always happy. I mean, he was always goofy.

237
00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:12,720
Speaker 6: The pictures that I.

238
00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:16,840
Speaker 1: Sent you The photos Rose is referencing covered the lifetime

239
00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:20,960
Speaker 1: relationship the two shared. While she's Gail's younger sister, there's

240
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:23,960
Speaker 1: a fifteen year age gap between the two, which meant

241
00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:27,120
Speaker 1: Rose grew up closer in age to Christopher and more

242
00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:30,800
Speaker 1: like his cousin than aunt. The photographs she shared show

243
00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:34,720
Speaker 1: Chris through the years as a toddler, boy, teen, and

244
00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:39,600
Speaker 1: young father. They also reflect the Vaughn family's deep enthusiasm

245
00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:44,479
Speaker 1: for outdoor sports, camping, and the wilderness on a multi generational,

246
00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:49,080
Speaker 1: extended family level. Throughout the range of time the photos represent,

247
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:53,400
Speaker 1: Chris is more often than not wearing a broad, happy smile,

248
00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:56,520
Speaker 1: especially in the photos that show him as a father.

249
00:15:58,080 --> 00:15:59,760
Speaker 5: He's always got a goofy smile on.

250
00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:05,120
Speaker 6: He's always just the center of attention, having fun, just down.

251
00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:05,560
Speaker 4: To earth fun.

252
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:09,240
Speaker 1: In one particular photo, he's standing on the beach hoisting

253
00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:12,560
Speaker 1: Abbey Inn, a bouncy infant up towards the camera with

254
00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:15,760
Speaker 1: one arm as he lifts the brim of her sunbonnet

255
00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:19,400
Speaker 1: back with his other hand, revealing the baby's beautiful gerber

256
00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:22,640
Speaker 1: like features. Kim Is standing in the background, arms of

257
00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:25,400
Speaker 1: Kimbo all three or smiling widely.

258
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:30,000
Speaker 6: They were at our house in Winfield, and my husband

259
00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:31,680
Speaker 6: and I are like, well, let's go take them to

260
00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:35,080
Speaker 6: Lake Michigan. Let's see what the how the baby reacts

261
00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:37,120
Speaker 6: with the water. Because when I had mine. Whenever her

262
00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:38,880
Speaker 6: feet hit the water, she would jump up like a

263
00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:42,200
Speaker 6: little little jumping bean, And so everybody was on board

264
00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:45,240
Speaker 6: with it. So we went up to Lake Michigan, Kim

265
00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:48,280
Speaker 6: and Chris and Abby and my husband and I, and

266
00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:50,360
Speaker 6: that's exactly what she did. He tried to put her

267
00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:52,480
Speaker 6: little feet in the water, and she jok right back up,

268
00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:54,240
Speaker 6: and she would laugh and laugh and laugh. It was

269
00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:56,120
Speaker 6: just it was just a great day. It was warm,

270
00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:56,880
Speaker 6: it was beautiful.

271
00:16:57,640 --> 00:17:00,400
Speaker 1: Rose sent many other photos of Chris interaction acting with

272
00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:05,560
Speaker 1: his children, and they all reflect an engaged, doting father, just.

273
00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:10,240
Speaker 6: Love and warmth and amusement. He was highly amused by

274
00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:14,000
Speaker 6: the antics of his children, sometimes not remembering that he

275
00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:16,400
Speaker 6: was once like that and did the very same goofy thing.

276
00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:21,640
Speaker 6: He just he looked at them like these incredible little creatures,

277
00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:23,800
Speaker 6: just just wonderful.

278
00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:28,320
Speaker 1: Chris's youngest brother, Adam, also recalls his impression of Chris

279
00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:28,960
Speaker 1: as a father.

280
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:34,080
Speaker 7: He was amazing. I still find myself applying some of

281
00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:37,800
Speaker 7: the things that I observed him doing with his kids,

282
00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:41,760
Speaker 7: I find myself attempting to do with mine. One of

283
00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:45,639
Speaker 7: the things that definitely stood out for me is just

284
00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:51,840
Speaker 7: how easily he could communicate to children. I mean, obviously,

285
00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:54,840
Speaker 7: I have four children on my own now, and I

286
00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:59,280
Speaker 7: am no strangers to the difficulties of parenting, so it

287
00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:02,600
Speaker 7: even puts it more into context on how he could

288
00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:06,159
Speaker 7: approach them on their level. He would actually make the

289
00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:11,919
Speaker 7: effort to physically neil or sit to where he was

290
00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:15,040
Speaker 7: high level with them and talk with them, and it

291
00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:18,880
Speaker 7: was just really amazing to see how how just that

292
00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:25,560
Speaker 7: change in altitude really changed the child's demeanor and allowed

293
00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:46,120
Speaker 7: them to be a little bit more communicative with them.

294
00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:48,960
Speaker 1: By the time he was twenty five, Christopher Vaughan was

295
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:52,480
Speaker 1: a father of three. While Kimberly and Christopher seemed to

296
00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:55,480
Speaker 1: be adjusting well to the responsibilities of a growing family,

297
00:18:56,040 --> 00:19:01,320
Speaker 1: their relationship had become strained. Various insecurities plagued them and

298
00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:04,879
Speaker 1: started to take root, and the pressure from Kim's family

299
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:09,680
Speaker 1: wasn't making it any easier. According to Gail and Pierre Vond, they.

300
00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:14,960
Speaker 11: Both had a problem with their education for insecurities. Yes,

301
00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:22,800
Speaker 11: I think Kim figured she would be better respected in.

302
00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:27,199
Speaker 12: Her own family, her side of the family if she

303
00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:28,720
Speaker 12: got this degree.

304
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:34,080
Speaker 13: So many times we heard them make comments on things

305
00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:36,600
Speaker 13: and the family as a whole would not listen to

306
00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:38,840
Speaker 13: Kimberly because she didn't know what she was talking about,

307
00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:42,000
Speaker 13: because she didn't have the degrees to go with the conversation.

308
00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:46,920
Speaker 1: College degrees or lack thereof, obviously appears to have been

309
00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:49,400
Speaker 1: a huge sticking point with both families.

310
00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:54,000
Speaker 2: We were just tolerated because.

311
00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:58,399
Speaker 3: Because, like we said, they all had college degrees, and

312
00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:02,399
Speaker 3: according to them, if you had a college degree, you

313
00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:06,040
Speaker 3: were smarter than everybody else, and it didn't matter what

314
00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:10,600
Speaker 3: your degree was in or not. And you know, her mom,

315
00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:14,600
Speaker 3: her college degree was in language, so she taught German

316
00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:19,879
Speaker 3: in school. Her dad was a lawyer, but he was

317
00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:23,000
Speaker 3: a jag lawyer in the army or military, and then

318
00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:26,960
Speaker 3: when he came out, he was an ambulance chaser. You know,

319
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:29,800
Speaker 3: if somebody pulled and broke the leg and you wanted

320
00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:31,280
Speaker 3: to sue somebody, he.

321
00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:31,840
Speaker 2: Was your guy.

322
00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:36,399
Speaker 1: Again, this is the Vaughn's perception, but it seems to

323
00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:40,199
Speaker 1: be one that's confirmed by multiple members and generations of

324
00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:44,520
Speaker 1: their family. Numerous instances in front of different members of

325
00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:48,399
Speaker 1: the Vaughn family that proceved negative judgment to the point

326
00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:52,040
Speaker 1: of insult, and it apparently extended to Kimberly.

327
00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:54,159
Speaker 5: According to what I understand.

328
00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:57,120
Speaker 3: When the family got together for a holiday or then

329
00:20:57,160 --> 00:21:01,320
Speaker 3: anything like that, they would exclude Kimberly from their conversations

330
00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:03,720
Speaker 3: because she wasn't smart enough, because she didn't have a college.

331
00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:07,840
Speaker 1: Degree, and from the Bond's perspective, Kim's and security wasn't

332
00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:11,280
Speaker 1: limited to her lack of a college education. They felt

333
00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:15,040
Speaker 1: the years of her mother's controlling influence had shaped Kim

334
00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:19,080
Speaker 1: into someone who apparently wanted attention, even at the expense

335
00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:19,800
Speaker 1: of her children.

336
00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:24,880
Speaker 2: She was almost jealous about their firstborn daughter, Abigail, because

337
00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:27,720
Speaker 2: Chris he was just so proud of her. He wanted

338
00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:30,320
Speaker 2: to take her in a stroller in the mall, and

339
00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:34,119
Speaker 2: Kim got really upset and she wouldn't let him do that.

340
00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:40,000
Speaker 3: Even though everybody saw the happy, bully, friendly side of Kimberly,

341
00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:41,160
Speaker 3: she was.

342
00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:42,119
Speaker 2: A lot like her mother.

343
00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:48,119
Speaker 3: More than anybody knows that there was a dark, mean side.

344
00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:51,280
Speaker 2: Even the kids called her a monster mommy.

345
00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:56,200
Speaker 3: Right when nobody else was around, that dark side would

346
00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:56,600
Speaker 3: come out.

347
00:21:57,560 --> 00:22:01,000
Speaker 1: The Bonds contend Kim's children were subject to a lot

348
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:04,560
Speaker 1: of her outbursts, leading to the nickname. They would sometimes

349
00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:08,600
Speaker 1: use monster Mommy to describe her when she was angry.

350
00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:11,840
Speaker 2: I actually got to witness one of her Monster Mommy

351
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:17,159
Speaker 2: episodes Christmas before this happened. It was crazy because.

352
00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:21,399
Speaker 5: It basically happened because Abigail decided she didn't want to.

353
00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:21,960
Speaker 4: Take a shower.

354
00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:26,840
Speaker 2: Kimberly said, yes, you mus take a shower. Well, she

355
00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:29,040
Speaker 2: is an upen age, Yeah, okay, mom's got to tell

356
00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:30,080
Speaker 2: their daughters what to do.

357
00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:32,960
Speaker 4: Okay, fine, But she took it to a.

358
00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:39,040
Speaker 2: Hair pulling, abusive, screaming, rustling type match with her.

359
00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:40,000
Speaker 4: Daughter, Abigail.

360
00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:44,919
Speaker 2: And this was happening upstairs in my house where the

361
00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:49,639
Speaker 2: kids were staying at that point, they were visiting. And

362
00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:51,240
Speaker 2: I went up the stairs.

363
00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:56,160
Speaker 5: And Sandy and Blake came and says, Monster Mommy doesn't

364
00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:59,440
Speaker 5: want to talk to anybody else. You've got to stay

365
00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:02,240
Speaker 5: away from her. Shall hurt you too? And they took

366
00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:05,720
Speaker 5: my hands and we went downstairs. I let the episode

367
00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:09,760
Speaker 5: happen upstairs, and I feel guilty about that now that

368
00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:11,080
Speaker 5: I didn't step in.

369
00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:18,080
Speaker 1: Stressed with the friction between the two families, Kim and

370
00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:21,800
Speaker 1: Chris's relationship started to struggle, but Chris was still on

371
00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:24,119
Speaker 1: the hunt for better and better jobs to take care

372
00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:27,560
Speaker 1: of his family and Eventually he found an opportunity in

373
00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:29,919
Speaker 1: Washington and used it to make things better.

374
00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:34,320
Speaker 5: Here's Gail Well it hit him John Chris's career.

375
00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:36,840
Speaker 13: Wherever he had the best job is where he went.

376
00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:40,480
Speaker 14: He had a job offer on the coast.

377
00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:43,000
Speaker 12: Up there, and he took it.

378
00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:44,000
Speaker 13: It made more money.

379
00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:45,439
Speaker 10: He could get a.

380
00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:48,960
Speaker 14: Bigger house and get Kim the vehicles she wanted, and

381
00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:51,280
Speaker 14: kids would be happy, and.

382
00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:56,760
Speaker 5: We'll taken care of And he went wherever the job

383
00:23:56,840 --> 00:23:58,600
Speaker 5: took him, he did.

384
00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:02,160
Speaker 3: But also so I think at the time they thought

385
00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:06,439
Speaker 3: that they got away from both of us, they have

386
00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:08,480
Speaker 3: a better chance of.

387
00:24:08,840 --> 00:24:10,159
Speaker 5: Keeping their marriage together.

388
00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:15,720
Speaker 3: He originally started out working for a big company as

389
00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:21,200
Speaker 3: a forensic computer guy, and then he started his own

390
00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:24,919
Speaker 3: company called stone Bridge, which was the name of the

391
00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:25,840
Speaker 3: streets they lived on.

392
00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:29,399
Speaker 1: When Chris got to Washington, he was doing computer and

393
00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:32,399
Speaker 1: tech work for multiple clients as a contractor for a

394
00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:36,000
Speaker 1: company that served other tech companies. Eventually he took his

395
00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:38,880
Speaker 1: skill set and branched out on his own, which leads

396
00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:42,920
Speaker 1: up to stone Bridge Consulting. Here again is private investigator

397
00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:46,160
Speaker 1: Bill Clutter, who's been involved with Chris's case since two

398
00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:47,040
Speaker 1: thousand and seven.

399
00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:54,400
Speaker 9: Chris head his own private tech agency and stone Bridge Investigations.

400
00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:59,240
Speaker 9: He was based in Bellevue, Washington, and he really developed

401
00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:03,760
Speaker 9: a special He had computer threns and he was remarkably

402
00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:04,560
Speaker 9: self taught.

403
00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:09,240
Speaker 1: Again, Clutter was on Vaughn's initial defense team and as

404
00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:12,320
Speaker 1: one of the people who knows Chris's story perhaps better

405
00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:13,000
Speaker 1: than anyone.

406
00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:17,080
Speaker 9: Yeah, I recall in my conversations with Chris, you know

407
00:25:17,160 --> 00:25:20,680
Speaker 9: he was charging two hundred fifty dollars an hour as

408
00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:24,200
Speaker 9: a private investigator to do computer for instance, which is

409
00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:25,840
Speaker 9: subverting a fee.

410
00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:29,560
Speaker 1: In fact, Chris had catapulted himself into a six figure

411
00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:34,240
Speaker 1: salary well before he turned thirty. Pierre Vaughan slowly came

412
00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:37,840
Speaker 1: around to understanding that his son was forging his future

413
00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:40,760
Speaker 1: in a field that was the future.

414
00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:45,400
Speaker 3: Absolutely, and I agreed with him because I mean, I'm

415
00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:48,320
Speaker 3: not a tech person, but just what I saw in

416
00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:53,879
Speaker 3: the tech industry, it was just exploding with new things

417
00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:59,760
Speaker 3: in technology and things are fastly changing. The Phillips family

418
00:25:59,800 --> 00:26:01,400
Speaker 3: could did not understand why.

419
00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:04,320
Speaker 13: A kid without college could.

420
00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:08,679
Speaker 3: Advance this bath this far and make this kind of

421
00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:13,840
Speaker 3: money without a college degree, because they didn't understand computer industry,

422
00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:17,720
Speaker 3: and that's where Chris made his money. He went out,

423
00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:22,240
Speaker 3: and when he went to Washington, he worked for companies

424
00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:26,320
Speaker 3: like Boeing and Microsoft, and he worked for colleges that

425
00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:32,080
Speaker 3: needed computer forensics and security, and he was a top

426
00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:32,960
Speaker 3: guy in a field.

427
00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:37,120
Speaker 1: By the early two thousands, Chris seemed pretty happy and

428
00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:40,400
Speaker 1: his family was enjoying a more affluent life than they'd

429
00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:43,840
Speaker 1: had in Missouri. Chris's love of the wilderness was also

430
00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:47,639
Speaker 1: well served in that part of the country. Here's Bill Clutter.

431
00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:52,800
Speaker 9: Being in Washington, they had easy access to the outdoors

432
00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:57,639
Speaker 9: and nature, and that's really the environment that they seemed

433
00:26:57,680 --> 00:26:58,240
Speaker 9: to thrive.

434
00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:03,119
Speaker 1: And shared his adoration of all things outdoors with his

435
00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:04,080
Speaker 1: growing children.

436
00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:10,119
Speaker 3: Definitely, on the weekends when Chris had free time, he

437
00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:13,920
Speaker 3: would take kids hiking through the many parks they had

438
00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:17,880
Speaker 3: out the parks and forests they had, because out there

439
00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:22,160
Speaker 3: they had the great big redwoods or cedars or whatever

440
00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:25,240
Speaker 3: they are that are like, you know, ten foot a round,

441
00:27:26,359 --> 00:27:28,680
Speaker 3: humongus trees and stuff like that.

442
00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:34,399
Speaker 1: Chris's career also afforded Kimberly the opportunity to finally pursue

443
00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:38,280
Speaker 1: an online college degree. With Chris now working for himself,

444
00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:42,080
Speaker 1: the potential was there to expand his company and possibly

445
00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:45,000
Speaker 1: include her as part of the business when.

446
00:27:44,840 --> 00:27:46,320
Speaker 3: They moved to.

447
00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:49,040
Speaker 2: Washington State.

448
00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:56,200
Speaker 3: That's when she decided to join the Phoenix Educational program.

449
00:27:56,640 --> 00:28:00,600
Speaker 3: She wanted to get a degree in criminology so that

450
00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:03,600
Speaker 3: she could help Chris be a private investigator.

451
00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:08,199
Speaker 1: Chris earned an excellent working reputation in Washington and an

452
00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:13,040
Speaker 1: impressive array of clients and industry contacts. Soon recruiters were

453
00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:15,920
Speaker 1: reaching out with offers. Here's Bill Clutter again.

454
00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:21,600
Speaker 9: Through his networking in the state of Washington, he landed

455
00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:24,920
Speaker 9: an interview with a company called Navigant. The job was

456
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:28,240
Speaker 9: stationed in Chicago, but it's a major company that provides

457
00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:32,520
Speaker 9: litigation support to the attorneys and law firms, and Chris

458
00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:36,919
Speaker 9: was given a job as a computer forensic specialist with

459
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:40,560
Speaker 9: that company and resulted in the family moving from the

460
00:28:40,640 --> 00:28:45,120
Speaker 9: state of Washington to Oswego, Illinois, just outside of Chicago. Yeah.

461
00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:49,560
Speaker 9: I mean it was a job that was paying almost

462
00:28:49,560 --> 00:28:55,080
Speaker 9: two hundred thousand a year, incredible salary and an opportunity.

463
00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:57,200
Speaker 1: For Chris, plus bonuses I believe.

464
00:28:58,000 --> 00:28:59,080
Speaker 9: Yeah. Yeah.

465
00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:04,680
Speaker 1: At the time of the murders, Chris was probably at

466
00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:06,719
Speaker 1: the height of his professional career.

467
00:29:07,440 --> 00:29:11,040
Speaker 9: Oh, he was totally at the height of his professional career,

468
00:29:11,080 --> 00:29:15,200
Speaker 9: in fact, that the company had agreed to invest in

469
00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:18,120
Speaker 9: a forensic slab that Chris would run.

470
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:22,440
Speaker 1: Chris's parents were also elated to have him so much

471
00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:24,000
Speaker 1: closer to them in Missouri.

472
00:29:25,040 --> 00:29:26,240
Speaker 12: I was super.

473
00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:30,080
Speaker 11: Happy because they would be within driving distance to visit.

474
00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:34,240
Speaker 1: I was so excited, and they visited early on after

475
00:29:34,280 --> 00:29:36,840
Speaker 1: the move, when Chris and Kim were still living in

476
00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:39,400
Speaker 1: an apartment while their house was being built.

477
00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:41,360
Speaker 13: It was all Kim.

478
00:29:41,640 --> 00:29:43,640
Speaker 14: Kim was telling us how she was going to get

479
00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:51,640
Speaker 14: the house built and how she wanted it to look. Eventually,

480
00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:53,920
Speaker 14: it did turn out that way, but it was very,

481
00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:55,320
Speaker 14: very expensive.

482
00:29:55,720 --> 00:29:57,960
Speaker 1: And it wasn't what Chris had hoped for.

483
00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:03,280
Speaker 12: Actually, Chris wanted to do look for a farmhouse that

484
00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:10,200
Speaker 12: he could re work, rebuild or upgrade with a little

485
00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:12,360
Speaker 12: bit of property on it, and they ended up not

486
00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:15,400
Speaker 12: doing it and going with a.

487
00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:17,400
Speaker 13: Builder in a subdivision.

488
00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:22,160
Speaker 3: Kim wanted a big, fancy house with you know, shaw

489
00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:25,840
Speaker 3: off to all the neighbors and the Sina thing money

490
00:30:25,840 --> 00:30:28,000
Speaker 3: and status and so on and so forth.

491
00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:31,000
Speaker 1: And the happiness Chris had found in Washington with his

492
00:30:31,080 --> 00:30:35,480
Speaker 1: old business, despite his current success, started to fade. He

493
00:30:35,560 --> 00:30:38,320
Speaker 1: was no longer working for himself, and he no longer

494
00:30:38,360 --> 00:30:41,600
Speaker 1: had an easy commute or access to the outdoors and

495
00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:44,640
Speaker 1: wilderness that Washington had offered when.

496
00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:47,320
Speaker 3: He was in the house. He actually had to get

497
00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:51,080
Speaker 3: up the morning, drive to the train, and be on

498
00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:54,239
Speaker 3: the train by a certain time early because otherwise, if

499
00:30:54,240 --> 00:30:56,760
Speaker 3: he tried to get on it later it was full

500
00:30:56,920 --> 00:30:58,760
Speaker 3: and he could he wouldn't make the work on time.

501
00:30:58,840 --> 00:31:01,560
Speaker 3: So he got up early, got to the train, took

502
00:31:01,600 --> 00:31:04,800
Speaker 3: the train in, went to work, and got off work

503
00:31:04,840 --> 00:31:07,040
Speaker 3: and come back, got in the jeep and kind of

504
00:31:07,080 --> 00:31:09,800
Speaker 3: home and then had to make Sucker herself. The only

505
00:31:11,040 --> 00:31:15,200
Speaker 3: interaction Chris really had was is that Blake was in

506
00:31:15,360 --> 00:31:19,680
Speaker 3: Scouts and Chris would take him the Scouts because Kimberly

507
00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:22,720
Speaker 3: didn't want anything to do with with the Scouts part

508
00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:23,560
Speaker 3: of it.

509
00:31:23,640 --> 00:31:27,360
Speaker 1: In fairness, Kimberly did serve at certain times as a

510
00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:31,800
Speaker 1: Brownian Girl Scout leader for her daughters. But to his family,

511
00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:36,080
Speaker 1: Chris seemed more isolated as his time in Illinois continued.

512
00:31:36,720 --> 00:31:41,240
Speaker 1: They perceived his happiness to be fading as his dissatisfaction increased,

513
00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:43,240
Speaker 1: and they worried about his marriage.

514
00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:48,080
Speaker 2: Here's Gail Vaughan, we known as Chris turning more into

515
00:31:48,120 --> 00:31:50,840
Speaker 2: a loaner. He would be in the family, but he

516
00:31:50,880 --> 00:31:55,320
Speaker 2: wouldn't really laugh and be as happy, and we just

517
00:31:55,360 --> 00:31:58,800
Speaker 2: figured it was marital problems or you know, something at work.

518
00:31:59,560 --> 00:32:03,440
Speaker 2: Just for this all happened just before we went on

519
00:32:03,440 --> 00:32:08,960
Speaker 2: our jeep outing in April. He was here with his

520
00:32:09,080 --> 00:32:13,440
Speaker 2: brother and his dad and he just sat at the

521
00:32:13,480 --> 00:32:15,400
Speaker 2: back of the boat and smoked his pipe. He loved

522
00:32:15,480 --> 00:32:18,240
Speaker 2: being outside, but he was always in thought.

523
00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:23,800
Speaker 1: It was sad and Pierre believes there was a troubling

524
00:32:23,880 --> 00:32:27,719
Speaker 1: reason why marriage troubles would have weighed heavily on Chris.

525
00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:32,520
Speaker 3: Chris was threatened by Kimberly's parents because he was a lawyer.

526
00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:35,720
Speaker 3: He said, if you ever mistreat my daughter, or if

527
00:32:35,760 --> 00:32:40,520
Speaker 3: you ever divorced my daughter or anything like that, you'll

528
00:32:40,560 --> 00:32:43,040
Speaker 3: regret it for the rest of your life because there's

529
00:32:43,080 --> 00:32:44,240
Speaker 3: so many laws.

530
00:32:43,880 --> 00:32:44,959
Speaker 2: That we can go after you.

531
00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:49,560
Speaker 3: For that, you'd have to work ten jobs just to

532
00:32:49,560 --> 00:32:50,160
Speaker 3: pay for it.

533
00:32:51,080 --> 00:32:54,960
Speaker 1: Again, we cannot confirm this threat was made, but the

534
00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:58,160
Speaker 1: couple did begin to lead separate lives under the same roof.

535
00:32:58,720 --> 00:33:01,680
Speaker 1: Chris would often have to try for his job with Navigant.

536
00:33:02,120 --> 00:33:05,600
Speaker 1: It wouldn't come out until after the murders but at

537
00:33:05,640 --> 00:33:09,160
Speaker 1: some point Vonn went to Mexico and wound up spending

538
00:33:09,160 --> 00:33:12,760
Speaker 1: the night with some women he'd met there, and he'd

539
00:33:12,800 --> 00:33:16,480
Speaker 1: also begun to frequent strip clubs, but not for the

540
00:33:16,520 --> 00:33:19,400
Speaker 1: reasons you might think. Here's his mother, Gail.

541
00:33:20,360 --> 00:33:24,120
Speaker 2: I wasn't as surprised about the strip club thing as

542
00:33:24,160 --> 00:33:27,880
Speaker 2: I was when he had gone to Mexico and found

543
00:33:27,920 --> 00:33:28,680
Speaker 2: comfort there.

544
00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:33,320
Speaker 3: The strip club thing was kind of a last stitch

545
00:33:33,360 --> 00:33:35,800
Speaker 3: effort or something. But what amazed to me is when

546
00:33:35,800 --> 00:33:39,440
Speaker 3: it came out in the trial is that when they

547
00:33:39,480 --> 00:33:43,440
Speaker 3: had the Gail from the strip club there, she just

548
00:33:43,480 --> 00:33:46,880
Speaker 3: said all.

549
00:33:45,520 --> 00:33:46,320
Speaker 4: He did was talk.

550
00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:49,360
Speaker 3: They did not have any kind of relationship or did

551
00:33:49,360 --> 00:33:51,480
Speaker 3: not have any interaction with them other than.

552
00:33:52,520 --> 00:33:53,640
Speaker 2: Just sit and talk for hours.

553
00:33:53,680 --> 00:33:54,720
Speaker 4: They would just sit and talk.

554
00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:09,080
Speaker 1: Chris's visits to Mexico and later the strip clubs would

555
00:34:09,160 --> 00:34:12,719
Speaker 1: wind up weighing heavily against him at his trial, but

556
00:34:12,920 --> 00:34:16,439
Speaker 1: we'll come back to that. And then came the day

557
00:34:16,560 --> 00:34:20,440
Speaker 1: that would change everything. Chris and Kimberly's anniversary was coming up,

558
00:34:20,680 --> 00:34:23,760
Speaker 1: and perhaps as a final desperate attempt to help salvage

559
00:34:23,800 --> 00:34:27,279
Speaker 1: their marriage, he made plans to visit Missouri.

560
00:34:27,200 --> 00:34:30,239
Speaker 5: On Sunday, June second, Chris left me a message on

561
00:34:30,280 --> 00:34:33,880
Speaker 5: our answering machine. He had planned to surprise Kim with

562
00:34:33,920 --> 00:34:37,239
Speaker 5: an anniversary trip to Herman. He wanted to go to

563
00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:39,759
Speaker 5: the bed and breakfast that they had originally went to

564
00:34:40,160 --> 00:34:43,480
Speaker 5: for their honeymoon. He planned to drop the children off

565
00:34:43,480 --> 00:34:47,279
Speaker 5: with us late Friday night, June fifteenth, and I'm not

566
00:34:47,320 --> 00:34:50,080
Speaker 5: sure if Chris and Kim would stay the night at

567
00:34:50,080 --> 00:34:53,200
Speaker 5: our house and continue on the next day, but we

568
00:34:53,400 --> 00:34:54,120
Speaker 5: never found out.

569
00:34:54,640 --> 00:34:58,720
Speaker 1: They were planning multiple visits, both the weekend getaway Chris

570
00:34:58,800 --> 00:35:02,040
Speaker 1: was planning to surprise him with for their anniversary, and

571
00:35:02,120 --> 00:35:04,759
Speaker 1: also a trip around July fourth for the kids to

572
00:35:04,800 --> 00:35:06,200
Speaker 1: stay with their grandparents.

573
00:35:06,719 --> 00:35:10,120
Speaker 5: June fourth, Pierre left a message on Chris's cell phone

574
00:35:10,239 --> 00:35:13,560
Speaker 5: to call back regarding the sixteenth and seventeenth of June.

575
00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:19,719
Speaker 5: June's fifth, Chris called me back. I suggested an alternative

576
00:35:19,760 --> 00:35:23,160
Speaker 5: plan to them driving all the way up. I had

577
00:35:23,200 --> 00:35:26,880
Speaker 5: said I would drive up Friday afternoon the fifteenth along

578
00:35:26,920 --> 00:35:29,960
Speaker 5: with my sister Nancy, and watched the kids at their

579
00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:32,160
Speaker 5: home instead of them coming to our house.

580
00:35:32,760 --> 00:35:35,160
Speaker 1: But Chris told Gail he'd get back to her on

581
00:35:35,200 --> 00:35:38,759
Speaker 1: that idea. Somewhere in the middle of their planning. About

582
00:35:38,760 --> 00:35:42,200
Speaker 1: a week before the trip, Gail got an unusual, out

583
00:35:42,200 --> 00:35:46,000
Speaker 1: of character call from Kem. Kim had emailed Gail about

584
00:35:46,080 --> 00:35:49,839
Speaker 1: the July trip and Gail had not yet responded, and

585
00:35:49,960 --> 00:35:51,320
Speaker 1: Kim was triggered.

586
00:35:52,080 --> 00:35:56,799
Speaker 15: On the sixth, jimberly called and she just started out

587
00:35:56,920 --> 00:35:59,680
Speaker 15: very loud, and she hollered at me for not answering

588
00:35:59,680 --> 00:36:02,360
Speaker 15: her e mail on the week we would have the kids.

589
00:36:03,239 --> 00:36:04,960
Speaker 4: She didn't introduce herself.

590
00:36:04,520 --> 00:36:09,440
Speaker 2: She just started loudly speaking, hollering.

591
00:36:09,040 --> 00:36:09,760
Speaker 4: Over the phone.

592
00:36:10,360 --> 00:36:12,759
Speaker 5: After I picked up the phone and said hello, I

593
00:36:12,800 --> 00:36:15,040
Speaker 5: had call her ID, so I knew it was Kim,

594
00:36:15,560 --> 00:36:18,160
Speaker 5: So I just kind of like held the phone away

595
00:36:18,200 --> 00:36:22,560
Speaker 5: from my ear as she vented. After about I stay

596
00:36:22,600 --> 00:36:25,759
Speaker 5: a good two or three minutes, her voice pitch went

597
00:36:25,800 --> 00:36:29,160
Speaker 5: down and we continued talking, and she calmed down the

598
00:36:29,320 --> 00:36:32,560
Speaker 5: entire conversation, and the conversation ended nicely.

599
00:36:33,160 --> 00:36:34,440
Speaker 4: So I'm not sure.

600
00:36:34,160 --> 00:36:36,520
Speaker 5: Why she was all ramped up when she began the call,

601
00:36:37,040 --> 00:36:38,680
Speaker 5: but by the end of the call it was a

602
00:36:38,760 --> 00:36:42,600
Speaker 5: fine She was just normally talking on the phone to Gail.

603
00:36:43,280 --> 00:36:47,080
Speaker 1: This sort of mood swing phone call seemed unusual for Kim.

604
00:36:47,719 --> 00:36:51,719
Speaker 1: There had been other Monster Mommy episodes, but this one

605
00:36:51,960 --> 00:36:53,600
Speaker 1: was something different that was.

606
00:36:53,600 --> 00:36:54,640
Speaker 4: Way out of character.

607
00:36:55,280 --> 00:36:57,760
Speaker 5: Usually Kim would call and say, hey, this is Kimberly,

608
00:36:58,520 --> 00:37:00,920
Speaker 5: and I would say, well, hello, there is Kimberly, you know,

609
00:37:00,960 --> 00:37:02,320
Speaker 5: and we would start a conversation.

610
00:37:03,320 --> 00:37:05,600
Speaker 4: But this one, you know, I picked up the phone

611
00:37:05,640 --> 00:37:06,600
Speaker 4: and she just started.

612
00:37:06,680 --> 00:37:08,879
Speaker 5: I mean, there was a screaming lady on the other

613
00:37:08,920 --> 00:37:10,040
Speaker 5: side of that phone.

614
00:37:10,360 --> 00:37:12,959
Speaker 1: Chris would reach out in an attempt to smooth things

615
00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:15,520
Speaker 1: over as he worked with the kids to keep the

616
00:37:15,560 --> 00:37:18,360
Speaker 1: anniversary trip a surprise for Kim.

617
00:37:18,800 --> 00:37:23,239
Speaker 5: So on June seventh, I think Chris called and he

618
00:37:23,320 --> 00:37:25,719
Speaker 5: said the idea of I Nancy coming up to watch

619
00:37:25,719 --> 00:37:29,040
Speaker 5: the children as a go because he said there was

620
00:37:29,080 --> 00:37:31,759
Speaker 5: going to be a parade, and Blake was supposed to

621
00:37:31,760 --> 00:37:35,440
Speaker 5: be in the parade with his Scout group of Scouts,

622
00:37:35,440 --> 00:37:38,640
Speaker 5: and I think Abby was going to be in there

623
00:37:38,640 --> 00:37:41,640
Speaker 5: with her soccer team, and all the kids had something

624
00:37:41,680 --> 00:37:44,160
Speaker 5: to do, and they really didn't want to come up

625
00:37:44,200 --> 00:37:45,960
Speaker 5: to our house. They wanted to stay at their house

626
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:49,000
Speaker 5: so they could go on this parade, you know. So

627
00:37:49,160 --> 00:37:51,840
Speaker 5: he says, yeah, that sounds good. He wanted us to

628
00:37:51,840 --> 00:37:54,600
Speaker 5: be there Friday around two two thirty ish, so that

629
00:37:55,040 --> 00:37:59,320
Speaker 5: he and Kim could leave soon after making it to Herman,

630
00:37:59,360 --> 00:38:02,320
Speaker 5: Missouri round between ten and eleven that night.

631
00:38:02,880 --> 00:38:05,560
Speaker 1: We were able to track down the proprietor of the

632
00:38:05,560 --> 00:38:09,680
Speaker 1: Missouri Bed and Breakfast. Chris claimed he called for reservations

633
00:38:09,840 --> 00:38:12,840
Speaker 1: for June sixteenth and seventeenth of two thousand and seven

634
00:38:13,200 --> 00:38:16,719
Speaker 1: to celebrate the couple's wedding anniversary, while she's asked that

635
00:38:16,760 --> 00:38:20,319
Speaker 1: we do not use her name. Fourteen years later, she

636
00:38:20,480 --> 00:38:23,880
Speaker 1: confirms the booking and what Chris said on that call?

637
00:38:24,680 --> 00:38:29,480
Speaker 10: Did I have a room? And I said yeah? And

638
00:38:29,520 --> 00:38:32,319
Speaker 10: he said, well, we stayed with you before in our anniversary.

639
00:38:33,320 --> 00:38:35,960
Speaker 10: We wanted to stay again. I said, oh, that'd be wonderful.

640
00:38:36,040 --> 00:38:39,480
Speaker 10: So I just took down the information and that was

641
00:38:39,520 --> 00:38:40,160
Speaker 10: the end of it.

642
00:38:41,120 --> 00:38:46,799
Speaker 1: Do you remember anything in particular about the conversation.

643
00:38:47,680 --> 00:38:54,120
Speaker 10: I didn't notice anything every ordinary, so he seemed pleasant.

644
00:38:55,120 --> 00:38:58,319
Speaker 1: Do you remember your thoughts when you realized that it

645
00:38:58,400 --> 00:38:59,400
Speaker 1: was the same Chris.

646
00:38:59,320 --> 00:39:02,840
Speaker 10: Vaughan, Oh, thank guy, me can show up and shoot

647
00:39:02,840 --> 00:39:03,200
Speaker 10: her here.

648
00:39:08,200 --> 00:39:11,040
Speaker 1: The day before Gail was supposed to make that drive

649
00:39:11,200 --> 00:39:14,160
Speaker 1: up to see the kids with her sister, she got

650
00:39:14,160 --> 00:39:15,960
Speaker 1: an unexpected phone call.

651
00:39:16,840 --> 00:39:22,600
Speaker 5: On Thursday, June fourteenth. Yeah, at eleven o five, I

652
00:39:22,719 --> 00:39:25,960
Speaker 5: was contacted by a reporter from the Chicago Sun Times.

653
00:39:27,760 --> 00:39:30,799
Speaker 5: She introduced herself and asked me if I was Christopher's mother.

654
00:39:32,640 --> 00:39:35,400
Speaker 5: She continued to ask questions that she was doing a

655
00:39:35,400 --> 00:39:41,000
Speaker 5: write upon them. I asked her where this information was

656
00:39:41,040 --> 00:39:44,520
Speaker 5: to be used. That's when she told me of the

657
00:39:44,600 --> 00:39:49,560
Speaker 5: terrible accident that had happened that morning. Then she told

658
00:39:49,600 --> 00:39:53,680
Speaker 5: me that there were four dead and one was taken

659
00:39:53,719 --> 00:39:57,279
Speaker 5: to the hospital with non life threatening wounds. At this

660
00:39:57,400 --> 00:39:59,360
Speaker 5: point I told her I needed to talk to my

661
00:39:59,440 --> 00:40:01,200
Speaker 5: family and I hung up from her.

662
00:40:02,200 --> 00:40:06,280
Speaker 1: After this day, this moment, Chris's life and the lives

663
00:40:06,320 --> 00:40:11,040
Speaker 1: of his and Kim's family were forever changed. Chris was injured,

664
00:40:11,560 --> 00:40:15,480
Speaker 1: his three children were dead, His wife, Kimberly was dead,

665
00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:20,640
Speaker 1: all four from gunshot wounds. What happened that day fourteen

666
00:40:20,719 --> 00:40:24,880
Speaker 1: years ago remains an unfathomable mystery to many, including it

667
00:40:24,920 --> 00:40:28,279
Speaker 1: would seem the man serving life for having been convicted

668
00:40:28,480 --> 00:40:32,880
Speaker 1: of taking four I started communicating with a lone survivor,

669
00:40:32,960 --> 00:40:36,840
Speaker 1: Christopher Vaughan, more than a year ago. Here's an excerpt

670
00:40:36,880 --> 00:40:40,680
Speaker 1: from the very first letter, one of many I've received

671
00:40:40,719 --> 00:40:44,719
Speaker 1: from Christopher Vaughn, a man now identified by a five

672
00:40:44,800 --> 00:40:49,840
Speaker 1: digit prisoner number quote. I must let you know I

673
00:40:49,880 --> 00:40:53,640
Speaker 1: am as hopelessly confused now as I was then, if

674
00:40:53,680 --> 00:40:57,320
Speaker 1: not more so. Having spent a considerable amount of time

675
00:40:57,640 --> 00:41:01,319
Speaker 1: over the years in speculation, cannot say if I am

676
00:41:01,400 --> 00:41:05,719
Speaker 1: closer to the truth or further from it. Un But

677
00:41:06,239 --> 00:41:09,279
Speaker 1: like many things you'll soon learn when it comes to

678
00:41:09,320 --> 00:41:16,120
Speaker 1: the Vaughn family murders, nothing is as it seems. On

679
00:41:16,239 --> 00:41:20,600
Speaker 1: the next murder in Illinois, the unthinkable becomes reality.

680
00:41:21,120 --> 00:41:24,920
Speaker 7: The one that most vividly earned its image into my

681
00:41:25,400 --> 00:41:28,520
Speaker 7: memory was an aerial shot.

682
00:41:28,719 --> 00:41:29,960
Speaker 9: He could see.

683
00:41:30,239 --> 00:41:33,439
Speaker 7: Kimberly's form lying over in the front seat.

684
00:41:33,960 --> 00:41:36,400
Speaker 5: My sister came up from downstairs, but she says, what

685
00:41:36,440 --> 00:41:37,080
Speaker 5: are you doing?

686
00:41:37,080 --> 00:41:39,800
Speaker 13: On the fly is my family has been healed.

687
00:41:40,200 --> 00:41:45,440
Speaker 1: And Christopher Vaughan goes from grieving father to suspect where.

688
00:41:45,239 --> 00:41:49,040
Speaker 3: I met by recorders, Ray wanted to know why Chris

689
00:41:49,120 --> 00:41:49,840
