1
00:00:01,560 --> 00:00:05,600
Speaker 1: Hey Murder and Illinois listeners, It's Lauren Bright Pacheco. Murder

2
00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:09,240
Speaker 1: in Illinois was released three years ago and it remains

3
00:00:09,320 --> 00:00:13,800
Speaker 1: my most polarizing investigation. Christopher Vaughan was sentenced in twenty

4
00:00:13,880 --> 00:00:17,720
Speaker 1: twelve to four consecutive life sentences for the twenty oh

5
00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:21,319
Speaker 1: seven shooting deaths of his wife and three children. While

6
00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:25,080
Speaker 1: I interviewed Vaughn extensively for the podcast, he has never

7
00:00:25,239 --> 00:00:28,200
Speaker 1: shared what happened the day he lost his entire family

8
00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:33,560
Speaker 1: in his own voice until now. Chris recently sat down

9
00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:37,800
Speaker 1: with Jason Flomm for an episode of the podcast Wrongful Conviction.

10
00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:40,839
Speaker 2: After I parked the drug, I asked her, you know,

11
00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:43,760
Speaker 2: is she still feeling bad? If she needed a few minutes,

12
00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:47,120
Speaker 2: And she really just didn't say much of anything, so

13
00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:49,640
Speaker 2: I opted to give her a few minutes. I went

14
00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:52,680
Speaker 2: ahead and jumped out. Kids were asleep in the back,

15
00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:56,800
Speaker 2: and I went around and just did miscellaneous things, checked

16
00:00:56,920 --> 00:00:59,760
Speaker 2: the luggage rack, looked at the tires, and that's when

17
00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:03,560
Speaker 2: I heard a horrendous racket. And I was heading for

18
00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:06,600
Speaker 2: my door to get in and find out what was

19
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:11,000
Speaker 2: going on. And I pulled the door open and I

20
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:14,280
Speaker 2: was looking looking at Kim holding the gun, and she

21
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:16,360
Speaker 2: looked at me and she said, you won't take my

22
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:19,160
Speaker 2: kids away from me, she says, She says, you killed them,

23
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:21,720
Speaker 2: and then she starts firing a gun at me. And

24
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:27,040
Speaker 2: I was tumbling backward and trying to come forward and

25
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:31,000
Speaker 2: not making much progress doing anything, and that's when she

26
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:32,920
Speaker 2: if she turned the gun on herself.

27
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:36,759
Speaker 1: To hear the rest of that exclusive interview, head over
