WEBVTT - UPDATE: Chris Vaughn talks to Jason Flom and Lauren Bright Pacheco

0:00:01.560 --> 0:00:05.600
<v Speaker 1>Hey Murder and Illinois listeners, It's Lauren Bright Pacheco. Murder

0:00:05.600 --> 0:00:09.240
<v Speaker 1>in Illinois was released three years ago and it remains

0:00:09.320 --> 0:00:13.800
<v Speaker 1>my most polarizing investigation. Christopher Vaughan was sentenced in twenty

0:00:13.880 --> 0:00:17.720
<v Speaker 1>twelve to four consecutive life sentences for the twenty oh

0:00:17.800 --> 0:00:21.319
<v Speaker 1>seven shooting deaths of his wife and three children. While

0:00:21.320 --> 0:00:25.080
<v Speaker 1>I interviewed Vaughn extensively for the podcast, he has never

0:00:25.239 --> 0:00:28.200
<v Speaker 1>shared what happened the day he lost his entire family

0:00:28.680 --> 0:00:33.560
<v Speaker 1>in his own voice until now. Chris recently sat down

0:00:33.680 --> 0:00:37.800
<v Speaker 1>with Jason Flomm for an episode of the podcast Wrongful Conviction.

0:00:38.560 --> 0:00:40.839
<v Speaker 2>After I parked the drug, I asked her, you know,

0:00:41.440 --> 0:00:43.760
<v Speaker 2>is she still feeling bad? If she needed a few minutes,

0:00:43.800 --> 0:00:47.120
<v Speaker 2>And she really just didn't say much of anything, so

0:00:47.200 --> 0:00:49.640
<v Speaker 2>I opted to give her a few minutes. I went

0:00:49.640 --> 0:00:52.680
<v Speaker 2>ahead and jumped out. Kids were asleep in the back,

0:00:53.200 --> 0:00:56.800
<v Speaker 2>and I went around and just did miscellaneous things, checked

0:00:56.920 --> 0:00:59.760
<v Speaker 2>the luggage rack, looked at the tires, and that's when

0:00:59.760 --> 0:01:03.560
<v Speaker 2>I heard a horrendous racket. And I was heading for

0:01:03.680 --> 0:01:06.600
<v Speaker 2>my door to get in and find out what was

0:01:06.680 --> 0:01:11.000
<v Speaker 2>going on. And I pulled the door open and I

0:01:11.160 --> 0:01:14.280
<v Speaker 2>was looking looking at Kim holding the gun, and she

0:01:14.360 --> 0:01:16.360
<v Speaker 2>looked at me and she said, you won't take my

0:01:16.440 --> 0:01:19.160
<v Speaker 2>kids away from me, she says, She says, you killed them,

0:01:19.400 --> 0:01:21.720
<v Speaker 2>and then she starts firing a gun at me. And

0:01:22.120 --> 0:01:27.040
<v Speaker 2>I was tumbling backward and trying to come forward and

0:01:27.240 --> 0:01:31.000
<v Speaker 2>not making much progress doing anything, and that's when she

0:01:31.200 --> 0:01:32.920
<v Speaker 2>if she turned the gun on herself.

0:01:33.880 --> 0:01:36.759
<v Speaker 1>To hear the rest of that exclusive interview, head over

0:01:36.840 --> 0:01:41.399
