Ashley Schwamm

Was this argument more than what we're talking about here?

No, it's just a dicker.

Ashley Schwamm's neighbors were devastated at the news of her death.

Ann Lockhart, a friend of mine from high school, lived next door.

Tragic.

And the whole neighborhood was reeling in it and the disbelief and, you know, the heartbreak for these kids and for this husband.

She saw James the morning of the crash before anyone knew what had happened.

I vividly remember looking out the front window and I saw James walking the children to school.

Now their lives were upside down.

She wanted to give them space.

She couldn't understand why police weren't doing the same.

I was walking my dog at night.

It was around 9 o'clock.

It was just a car accident.

Are you all starting to talk?

Like, hey, is there something more here that we're just unaware of?

Yes.

Yes.

The neighbors didn't know that police were taking a closer look at the accident and had called in a veteran detective.

This is a small area, you know, and you've been doing this a long time.
