And the one that was important was that one.
Jane and Dave seemed to settle into their new life and tried to have a family.
When Jane couldn't get pregnant, the couple adopted a baby boy from South Korea.
And it just started going downhill, and it got worse and worse every year.
Back at the Loud Home, Detective Young made a stunning discovery that would change everything.
Dave had been shot with his own .22-caliber single-action revolver, the kind of gun you see in cowboy movies.
Heavy and an effort to use, gun expert Nabil Kattar showed me that the hammer must be cocked for every shot.
Six shots were fired at Dave Lout that night, and according to authorities, all six hit their target.
And the gunshots that people heard, were they boom, boom, boom, boom?
Just hours after being interviewed by police before she even knew they found the gun, Jane changed her story.
Now she said it was self-defense and hired attorney Ron Bamier.
Jane says it was when her husband also threatened to kill their 10-year-old son, Michael, that she felt she had no choice.
I think if it didn't happen, we would both be dead.
But even then, it would be nearly six months before Jane Lott was arrested, and then she would be released on bond for six years, until her trial finally began.
