10, 15, I called Emmett's phone like four times in a row and just text him like, are you okay? What's going on? I knew something was wrong. And you know what? I pictured for a moment, I'm like, maybe he wrecked his brand new truck. He's going to need me. We're going to go to this hospital. I'm going to take all five of these babies.
And for the first time in a long time, he's going to be sitting there humbled and actually need and want his family. And we're going to be there. And this is what's going to heal us.
I don't even know how long I was asleep when I heard the pounding on my door. So I slowly walked myself to my door, and I remember opening it, and I'm like, it's going to be cops, and they're going to be like, come with us. We have him. Instead, it was three detectives who were all in street clothes.
And they're like, we just really need you to sit down. And we all walked in and sat around this giant leather couch that Emmett and I had saved forever for and finally had this dream couch on our dream house.
For the first second, I'm like, okay, he's shot, he's at the hospital, they're going to take me there. And I think the detective knew. He was like, Ashley, he was shot in the heart and in the forehead.
And I just remember thinking, like, there's no way this is my one answer. I said, I just needed something to fix, not break my entire life and break my family and leave these kids fatherless and leave me broken for the rest of my life is what I thought in that moment.
They had met with an attorney that day to file papers for Candy to get a divorce.
On the video footage at Walgreens, you see Rob, his truck pulls up in just like a normal stall. You can see his whole truck. And in the video, you see him get out of his truck with his hands in his pocket. And as he's walking inside Walgreens, his hands don't leave his pocket.
He's like frantically looking through Walgreens and you can see through the Walgreens cameras, him going up and down every single aisle.
So it's not just the incident of your husband was cheating on you and now he's dead and this guy killed him. It's like every insecurity just grows inside of you. And so the disassociation and the fog isn't just you went through this moment. It's what did that moment tell you about yourself and what do you think everybody else thinks about you now?
And I think that was the biggest trap that I was stuck in for so long. I'm living in this fishbowl. Everybody knows I wasn't enough. Every time I go anywhere and they see me, they feel sorry for me, but they're also like, oh my gosh. In your head, this is what I'm thinking. Oh my gosh, of course, look at her. She's this and this and this.
And I just felt like everything I had ever appreciated about myself, everything I ever thought I did well, it was all stripped. I was just nothing and broken, and that was my destiny.
I honestly only met her a few times. Like I would go to an appointment for my pregnancy down by the office and I would stop by. And some of the other paralegals and secretaries were like, you should just walk in. He's in there with candy and said just weird stuff. And so I did. I just walked in and then Emmett looked at me like I was a ghost. Like, oh, hey, what are you doing here?
I remember getting there and the first thing I was afraid of, and this became the first thing I was afraid of everywhere I went for a very long time, is what if she shows up? I mean, she's claiming she was his lover. What if she shows up? So a lot of the funeral, I was on like high alert, just watching for Candy.
A traveling judge offered bail and his mom paid it and he ended up getting out of jail like 28 days later. And when I called frantic about that, they're like, oh, don't worry. He wasn't mad at you. He even had a letter on his seat that was addressed to you that was going to tell you everything that he was going to mail to you. And they thought that would make me feel better.
But in that moment, I'm like, well, why the hell didn't he just mail the letter? We could have worked together and figured this out and not had someone die.
I, for a long time, was like, I'm not going to be part of this murder trial. I'm just, I got to put it in the past. I got to march. And then as it got closer, I just couldn't not. I had to have the rest of the puzzle pieces.
Rob's claim during court was he had to defend himself. At one point, Emmett had the gun, and then he handed it over to Rob, and then Rob shoots.
The DNA and all the gunpowder tests and everything, nothing was on Emmett's hand. It was all on Rob's and Candy's because she ended up picking up the gun and throwing it later. So his self-defense story didn't really add up.
He was talking to someone in jail with him that he had, like, practiced to know exactly how to get a graze wound, so it looked like self-defense.
