Mr. Ballin

Why don't we go for a hike?

Barbara clearly hesitated like she didn't really want to do this.

the killer knew barbara was leaving utah and they knew she had written a goodbye note and was selling the necklace for funds to leave for good so they kind of guilt tripped her they said look like let's go enjoy the beautiful countryside before you leave town barbara shrugged and said okay fine and so the killer very excitedly drove the car over to the canyon and parked near a picnic area

Then the two of them got out and as they began walking towards the trail, the killer reached down and touched the outside of their pocket, just to make sure the gun that they had stolen from Barbara was still there.

Now, they didn't know if they were going to use the gun or not, but they just wanted to make sure it was there and ready.

And so for a while, the killer and Barbara just hiked along this trail, you know, just chatting and making their way up and enjoying the scenery.

But at some point, the killer just couldn't wait any longer.

They had to make their move.

And so they stopped Barbara and the killer after making sure nobody else was around.

They moved forward and kind of made their move.

They touched Barbara in a way that was very clearly meant to be romantic.

But immediately, Barbara kind of recoiled and jumped back and told the killer that she didn't want that.

which immediately made the killer incredibly angry.

And so the killer stepped towards her again and could see Barbara had this alarmed look on her face, which made them even more angry.

So they pulled out Barbara's gun and they aimed it at her and then told her to take off her clothes.

And Barbara, I mean, she was horrified, but, you know, she did as she was told, but she intentionally was taking her time.

As she took off a piece of clothing, she would painstakingly fold it very neatly, all the while begging the killer not to do this.

And then after taking off all of her clothes and stacking them next to her, you know, she continued to plead with the killer.

But the killer was so humiliated and so angry that they decided enough was enough.

And they shot Barbara right in the chest.
