They were living in fear.

And you mentioned it.

Wendy, buddy, who is Angela's sister, was her shadow.

Even having Angela at one point live with her.

Unfortunately, the one time she wasn't by Angela's side is when Angela was attacked and killed.

And on top of all that, you also had Angela's sons who live in the area who also were dealing with their own issues with Chris Pritchard.

One son saying that Chris Pritchard would drive by the house in one case in just one hour six times.

How he knew this, Chris Pritchard drove a very specific truck, a Jeep with specific wheels that made a sound that was very easy to identify.

Police were being called and included in all of this, but the family still had this real sense of helplessness.

When that was exposed, the family says that ultimately led to this downward spiral.

And without a job, and now having lost the respect of this very small community, he started to engage in drug use and abuse, methamphetamine, which then led to anger, and it only continued

according to those sticky notes, what we call a diary of domestic abuse that Angela documented so well that her sister Wendy shared with us.

It wasn't just her identifying Chris in that moment that helped.

A few seconds later, you hear Chris say an expletive directed towards Angela as he is standing over her lifeless body.

And prosecutors did an incredible job showing premeditation.

So really, you had prosecutors really detail and outline how this whole plan really started to form the day before the murder took place.

So you had Chris, who

borrowed a truck, something very different than the car that he drove, which was very recognizable, stashed that borrowed truck somewhere, then trekked through the woods to access the kennels at around 4 a.m.

And we know this because of security footage outside of the kennels and then laid in wait.

I think they were surprised.
