The truth was that no one knew what Chris Smith remembered. The first time he regained consciousness was in early January 2022, about two months after the shooting.
That his old friend Mark Reardon, a talk show host in St. Louis, barely recognized Chris on the phone.
After intense physical therapy, he's made incredible strides. He's much stronger than when he awoke from a coma, but he discovered there are gaps in his memory. What does he remember from that terrible night?
He remembers nothing of the shooting or Leslie Reeves.
You had no idea?
Is Chris the same person who used to come on your show before he was shot?
Chris works out at the gym most mornings, trying to regain muscle so that someday he'll be able to walk without assistance. He's even back to being the lead singer in his rock and roll band.
But Chris is aware his life is very different from what it once was.
It's tough, isn't it, Chris?
Chris has resigned to living with part of that hollow point bullet in his brain. Doctors say it's in a spot that makes it too dangerous to remove. So that's where you got shot?
After decades on his own, Chris had to move back into his mother's house.
Chris visits with his loyal dog, Tiki, but no longer lives with her. And he'd love to see his 12-year-old daughter more often, but he can't drive. And he's living in St. Louis, almost two hours away from his daughter and ex-wife.
The trial of Robert Tarr was set for April 2024, but Chris would not be there. He told the prosecutor he was too angry to attend.
But Chris's alleged shooter, Bobby Tarr, will be there. And he said he was eager to tell the jury that he's not a violent man. But on this one night early morning, did you snap?
When Bobby Tarr went on trial in April 2024, prosecutors told the jury that he killed Leslie Reeves rather than allow her to live the life she wanted, a life without him.
Andrew Affronti says Tarr secretly followed Leslie to Farmersville early that evening. And shortly afterwards, his phone began showing some interesting activity.
Tar headed home and texted his friend, Billy Adams. I don't feel like she would drive that far for a party or go out with a girlfriend. I think it's for a dude. He also searched whether police could track his phone if he was using a VPN, a virtual private network.
Authorities say around midnight, Tarr left home, stopping at that gas station. And then, according to a frontie, surveillance videos and cell tower records show that Tarr drove back to Farmersville. You believe he intended to kill both Chris and Leslie?
With one victim dead and the other with no memory, it's difficult to say with certainty what happened. But the prosecution argued that sometime after 1 AM, Bobby Tarr tried to enter through the back door of Chris Smith's house. Leslie and Chris tried to keep him out.
There was some kind of altercation or struggle. And that's when the glass was broken.
