So they met in college.

Doris was just one of those lovely, generous people.

She was a good teacher, a devout Christian, and he was, by all accounts, a really fun guy.

After they got married, they settled in his hometown.

She quit her job as an elementary school teacher to be a stay-at-home mom with her three kids.

And he took over management of a small amusement park called John's Sports Park.

So it was kind of the center of this community.

It had a big arcade, a driving range, batting cages, and a go-kart track.

It had a really big roller skating rink inside.

It was the place to be for kids in the area.

How was Doris killed?

She had gone into the park that morning in September of 2006 to just clean up a bit.

And somebody came in and shot her.

There were a couple theories.

One, that it was a random robbery gone wrong.

Another possibility is that John had chased some people out of the park the week before, and apparently they were angry.

So one of the leading theories early on is that she was shot in retaliation.

Well, they're just hearing a lot about...

John and his relationship with a girl who's living with them.

And her name was Paula Yarbury.
