Well, Kathy explained that Jim hadn't lived in the house for a few months and then gave him directions to Jim's new house because he thought he was a friend. Yeah, of course.

Kathy knew who he was like a little bit. Like a complete stranger. Yeah. And like she was like, oh, you're looking for your friend. He kind of made it seem like I'm looking for a friend.

Like, OK. And she was like, oh, it's like a few blocks away. He lives in a different house and then just closed the door and went back to bed. Now, Herbert Mullen got back in his car and drove the seven miles to Jim and Joan Gianera's house on Western Drive.

This couple had bought the house sometime earlier and had finally finished renovations and were able to move in a few months earlier. Unfortunately, since then, Jim had struggled to find work and they'd run out of money.

Yeah. Now, like Kathy Francis, Jim hadn't been expecting anyone that morning. So the knock on the door was a little bit of a surprise. It had been a while since the two of them had seen each other. They went to high school together. But Jim recognized Herbert Mullen immediately, but didn't invite him inside. And out of nowhere, Herbert just said, I'm really pissed about the time I've been wasting.

And Jim was like, sorry, sorry about that. Like, OK, like he was just confused. Like what? And before Jim could say anything back to him, because what the fuck else? What was he going to say? The phone rang. And so he's like, excuse me, I just have to answer the phone really quick.

And he went in to answer the phone and Herbert walked in the door and closed it behind him. Now, Jim hung up the phone and turned around and was like, what the fuck are you doing in my house I didn't invite you in? Yeah, you can't just walk in here, dude. And he was about to yell at him to leave, and then he noticed the revolver in Herbert Mullen's hand, and he turned to run.

And from behind, Jim heard a crack and a bullet grazed his right arm.
