Laura Day

And I believed her.

Maybe he just didn't want to know too much, but he does confront her with that, and she denied it.

But it turns out it was her.

30 years ago, Laura was living in another paradise.

This one in California, Laguna Beach.

Laguna Beach is one of the most beautiful places in California.

In May 1982, Laura was 17 years old, and she was named Laura Feist at the time.

That was her maiden name.

Laura has already left home and is dating 21-year-old college student James Kendall.

James, also known as Jim, is a local boy from a well-respected family.

Now, if things started off pretty good, it would end tragically.

I'm Jason Kravitz.

I'm a retired police captain with the Laguna Beach Police Department.

Laura and Jim spent the night at Jim Kendall's house in Laguna Beach.

Jim had told her the night before that he, quote, didn't want to go steady anymore and wanted to break up and see other women.

But when he tells Laura he wants out, things go horribly wrong.

He, the next morning, drives her to her home to get a change of clothes so she can go to high school.

So Laura got out of the truck, and she's walking this direction across Legion Street, and she goes over to where she lived.

Her landlord kept a handgun inside of his home.

She knew that.
