Wendy Budde (Angela's Sister)

What do you do when nobody's willing to help you?

I fear for my safety, fear for my life.

He has guns.

The fear, it consumed our life.

It was 5 a.m.

at the Jackson County Jail.

21 hours after Angela was found dead, Chris Pritchard waved his Miranda rights and talked about the encounter at the dog kennels with Special Agents Dustin Henningsen and Ryan Kedley.

So in so many words, he says, I shot Angela.

It was an accident.

Essentially, yes.

Are you believing any of this?

No.

I'm only believing the fact that he shot Angela.

Pritchard pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder and robbery charges.

His trial began February 7, 2024.

To prove premeditated murder, prosecutors Nicole Leonard and John Keyes told jurors Pritchard put his plan in motion on October 7th, 2022, the day before he shot his wife, the same day Angela's temporary restraining order became permanent.

She wanted to drag me through the mud and make me a monster.

Before taking Angela's life, Chris Pritchard took steps to cover his tracks, say the prosecutors.

He borrowed this white pickup truck to avoid using his own vehicle.

So what we think was he was setting up an alibi.
