from a drugstore parking lot in the dead of night 911 dispatch hears the blood curdling screams oh my God oh my God they will soon identify a face with a name on the other end the only eyewitness to what happens is candy Hall candy and her husband Rob and their two teenage daughters had just moved from California to Idaho where they settled in Meridian a quiet town at the foot of the majes IC Rockies Rob and Candy Hall had been married for more than 15 years and by a lot of accounts from their friends were
happy Rob was the IT specialist for the local sheriff candy was a paralal but the 40-year-old wife and mother was dealing with some career struggles she had recently lost a job at another law firm and so she was looking for somewhere to work enter EMT Corgan her soon to be boss the rising legal star was boyishly handsome cocky and ambitious the 30-year-old had just opened his own law practice not only did EMT have a thriving career he had a beautiful wife Ashley we were dating like 2 months we dated really fast and we both just
kind of knew it was what we wanted they were the picture of the squeaky clean All-American family with four kids and one on the way the future looked bright candy the pargal was thrilled to be part of a vibrant new firm but just as her professional life was coming together her personal life was falling apart she was having problems in her own marriage candy at times had told people that rob had been abusive toward her that Rob had had an affair of his own reeling from the news of her husband's infidelity candy threw herself into
the job logging long hours at work with EMT it wasn't long before candy and EMT struck up a Tor Affair exchanging racy emails spicy text messages and indulging in late night office Tris they were having sex apparently sometimes in the office there were a number of co-workers who said they knew what was going on and clients also knew in some cases I started thinking there's got to be another woman or something there's something doesn't feel right like every time I'm trying get close to him in ways that were just natural before it became like a
fight and the kids were starting to say does he live here anymore he's always at work despite her gut feelings she tried to convince herself she was just being paranoid to be honest i' always be like she's like 40 he just turned 30 Ashley no there's no way I mean you're you're 28 years old but then one night everything changed em it came and said hey I'm going to run to wugs real quick I'm God this cold I'm going to I'm going to go and just get some medicine and I knew he was going to
be gone a long time but just a few miles away candy emt's paralal tells her husband she's going to run a quick errand too soon a secretive drugstore Meetup would change four people's lives forever so around 9:00 candy her car pulls into Walgreens and then emt's truck pulls into Walgreens and Candy says she got an EMT truck and then they went to a nearby subdivision and they had sex on the truck consumed by lust candy and EMT think no one knows their secret but by pure chance candi's daughter pulls into that Walgreens parking lot and
sees her mom's car empty thinking it's strange she calls her dad Robert Hall so Rob called candi's phone candy answered the phone and EMT took the phone out of her hands candy says that emit started to get threatening to Rob on the phone Rob heads over to Walgreens hellbent on finding his wife store surveillance videos show Rob parking his pickup truck he goes through the front door and roams the Isles looking for candy Rob leaves the store rep parks on the other side of candi's car his door just out of range of those store surveillance
cameras and it's exactly what happens off camera that leads to an epic tragedy in this parking spot next to candi's car Robert Hall waits for his wife candy and her lover and boss emit Corgan when the couple pulls up and sees Rob they have no idea he has a gun in his pocket and revenge on his mind candy says at some point Rob provoked EMT by saying why don't you go home to your wife you have five kids at home and that that set EMT off he pushed off of his truck and came at Rob
candy says she turned to leave and never saw what happened after that Rob pulls out a gun and shoots EMT was shot in the chest and in the head and Rob had a gunshot wound a graze wound to his head she saw Rob start to get up and she said she actually grabbed the gun and she said she threw it like a bowling ball across the parking lot a panicked candy calls 911 oh my it's too late EMT doesn't make it across town emt's wife Ashley gets the worst double news imaginable they said there's been
two shots of a Gun there's been an accident in Affair I remember looking around the room and everything just felt dizzy Just didn't make sense and it was really a mix of emotions wondering like why wasn't I enough I begged him to stay home and fight for me but instead he died fighting for someone else's wife and at the hospital Rob Hall is still alive being treated for a head wound cops question him about the shooting but he claims not to remember exactly what happened and the only eyewitness is candy Hall oh go oh my
God she tells detectives she went to Walgreens to pick up a prescription where she met up with EMT she claims they're just friends and she needed to vent about her marital troubles but investigators already have naughty emails texts and coworker statements are you an EMT involved in a romantic relationship no have you ever been romantic with EMT no okay now let's say sexual have you been sexual with EMT no once confronted with the evidence candy finally tells cops what they didn't see on surveillance cameras I hear pop pop and then pop and that's all I
heard and I turned around and both of them were laying on the ground em it was kind of like on his like this and I I didn't know what was going on and I just see all this BL G down his rock face so I went over the covered he had this W on his top of the is heading up covering I'm calling 911 oh my God oh my God days after emic Corgan is gunned down Robert Hall is arrested about a year later he faced trial for second degree murder these two families were forever
changed by the actions of three adults in court the defense argued Rob Hall was consumed with jealousy over his wife's Affair and acted in self-defense after EMT instigated an altercation and the only potential eyewitness isn't helpful at all she would tell them what they wanted to hear basically well the judge said that he's never had somebody change their story so many times strangely candy and Robert were back together having rekindled their failing marriage after the shooting after both sides rest their cases the moment Ashley's waited for guilty of second degree murder I had really felt
like I was the victim in this case you know I mean most people hearing it would think that but all I could see was these two mothers a mother whose son was now going to be in jail for a long time and a mother whose son had been killed and it like it tore me apart realizing that there's other people hurting probably just as much as me while Rob did apologize to Ashley and her children in court she had this to say back let me tell you about my babies pounding on a casket their Hero's
body lying inside screaming for him to wake up and screaming at me because I was telling them that we couldn't open the box hul was sentenced to 30 years in prison Ashley didn't let it ruin her life she is happily remarried and has two daughters with her new husband as painful as this episode was for her family she said they've all learned from it we talk about his good qualities but we also talk about the choices that he made and how our choices do determine our destiny
