Texas Wine and True Crime
When Wealth Turns Deadly: The Cullen and Priscilla Davis Story-Part One
From the sprawling elite neighborhoods of Fort Worth comes a true crime story so outrageous it seems pulled from a Texas-sized soap opera. The Cullen Davis case represents everything larger-than-life about Texas wealth – oil money, mansions, jealousy, and ultimately, murder.
When platinum blonde Priscilla met oil heir Cullen Davis at an exclusive country club in 1968, both were married to other people. Their attraction quickly developed into a relationship that embodied 1970s excess. Cullen, from one of the wealthiest families in Texas, constructed a $6 million mansion (worth $43 million today) featuring technology decades ahead of its time – security keypads, video monitoring systems, and luxury amenities that made it the most enviable address in Fort Worth.
The couple's relationship was as extravagant as their home – silver fox bedspreads, private jets, European shopping sprees, and wild parties that attracted the elite while shocking more conservative Texas society. But beneath the glossy exterior lurked darkness. Cullen, a man unaccustomed to hearing "no," demonstrated disturbing violence, once punching Priscilla's teenage daughter during an argument and killing her kitten in a fit of rage.
When their divorce proceedings began in 1974, the judge shocked everyone by awarding Priscilla temporary residence in the mansion Cullen had built. This decision set in motion events that would culminate in a night of horror. On August 2, 1976, hours after a judge increased Priscilla's spousal support, she and her boyfriend Stan Farr returned home to find a figure in a black wig who opened fire. Stan was killed, Priscilla was wounded, her daughter Andrea was executed, and another man was paralyzed.
Two witnesses identified the shooter as Cullen Davis, setting the stage for what would become one of the most sensational murder trials in American history, with the wealthiest man ever charged with murder fighting for his freedom against compelling evidence and eyewitness testimony.
Join us as we unravel this twisted tale of Texas high society gone terribly wrong – a story that continues to captivate true crime enthusiasts nearly five decades later and reminds us that sometimes the most dangerous predators are those hiding in plain sight behind wealth and privilege.

Speaker 2:We had some food and wine.
Speaker 1:We did. We had some Newsome Vineyards Merlot.
Speaker 2:Laverne's Merlot.
Speaker 1:Laverne's Merlot. Absolutely delicious. And what did you pair with that Laverne's Merlot?
Speaker 2:Well, you know we've been a little bit on the New Mexico kick sitting here in our bunker.
Speaker 1:We have.
Speaker 2:You know, way away in the mountains, Right. Yeah.
Speaker 1:Coal miner's daughter. That Right yeah, coal miner's daughter. That's what just reminded me of that. Keep going.
Speaker 2:Exactly, and so I've been exploring the flavors of here, of New, of the well Southwest, but New Mexico specifically, and so I decided that I wanted to. I had bought some, some chamayo pepper powder, which is kind of a sacred. That's usually like if somebody says you're making a red chili, it's got to be made with this Jamiro pepper. It's grown a little North of Albuquerque and we had some pork chops, and so I decided to make some nice cumin and Jamiro pepper rubbed, bacon wrapped, big fat center cut pork chops with a green, not only red chili on the pork chop, but green chili cream sauce. And then you can never go wrong with just some Yukon Gold's mashed potatoes which is our daughter's favorite.
Speaker 1:She loves mashed potatoes. She even mistaked it for potato salad the other day and I will never forget the look she had on her face for potato salad the other day and I will never forget the look she had on her face when she had potato salad. Well, she actually mistaked the potato salad, thinking it was yellow gold. I know.
Speaker 2:That was a classic face.
Speaker 1:What is that? Yeah, I thought she was going to vomit. It was funny.
Speaker 2:I couldn't help but, laughing, didn't even tell her to eat it. I don't even know why she had potato salad on there and I was just like, as I was watching, I'm like wow, she's about to go.
Speaker 1:Go all in, go for it. She didn't even ask what it reminds you. We have a long list of things that the kid doesn't eat and uh yeah, potato salads on that. Your pork chop and mashed potatoes are on the top of that list. Yeah, she didn't like that. She absolutely loves your I didn't make hers bacon wrapped.
Speaker 2:Of course I don't know why you thought that, but yeah, I thought it came out nice. I thought thought the nice sear nice little time in the oven. A lot of the fat had rendered off the bacon so it was nice and moist and juicy and the peppers had a nice smoky flavor, that chamayo pepper, and I thought the wine was an excellent choice.
Speaker 1:We had some. I was like well, I'm going to try this.
Speaker 2:We've had it for a little while.
Speaker 1:The Merlot was delicious. I think it was delicious.
Speaker 2:I think it was like a 2000. We've had it for a long time. It was a 2019, but we got it. Um, I don't even know where we got it. I think our friend will will actually give us yes.
Speaker 1:We know Texas, you know. If you haven't listened to his show, please do. I'm always good to support the Texas wine podcast industry and he does a lot of neat stuff.
Speaker 2:So yeah, occasionally we have, um, we have a mystery bottle or two that we do not know how we came about.
Speaker 1:Somebody gave us this.
Speaker 2:Somebody gave us that so well it was great honey.
Speaker 1:Good good food, good, good wine. Thank you so much for all everybody who supports our show, whether it's calling in or saying, oh my gosh, I wish I had Chris's meals all the time which we do get messages like that Um and or you're sending us wine and we get to enjoy it on the show. We have yet to have New Mexico wine. Every time we mention our podcast in New Mexico, people tell us about New Mexican wine, but I have actually had some interesting conversations with some winemakers in Texas about getting grapes from New Mexico. So I'm going to be on a little bit of a learning curve with New Mexican wine, but I'm excited to learn more.
Speaker 2:Yeah, from at least my understanding, there's not a lot of wineries in New Mexico. I want to say there's like 89 total. A big bulk of them are on the Eastern side, which is also kind of closer to the Texas high plains as well too, so I could see where they would, you know, get some grapes from here and back and forth, and so you know.
Speaker 1:We're going to meet some new people.
Speaker 2:We're going to meet new people and check out some new varieties and make new friends.
Speaker 1:We are All right. Well, we are going to be jumping into a big case. Chris Fort Worth, texas Cullen and Priscilla Davis.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and I think we had discussed too this is a pretty big case.
Speaker 2:We want to do this in two parts. I think so and really I think what I've known about this case for forever. I don't know how many, many moons ago my mother had given me a book about this case and I would say at the time I may have been 19 or 20, maybe a little younger than that, I don't even know why. I guess she just said you may want to read this, and I started to read it and instantly was attracted to the story. And for me, I don't know, growing up in Texas and also Dallas, as I read this story I was like man, this is like a season of those old TV show dallas, because it's just so like. It's just a crazy story. I mean, wealthy people, you've got obviously murder, uh, these fancy lies, and so I don't know. I just it kind of attracted me. It's just a great story. The um and I apologize I don't have the book sitting here with me. We'll bring it out for part two excellent book. It was written a long time ago, but the gentleman that wrote it actually two people. It's very well um, very well researched and I think anybody would really enjoy it. It's kind of one of the.
Speaker 2:The story too is you know they made uh did a made for tv movie many years ago about, uh, colin and priscilla davis and it was uh odd choice of well. Number one is made for tv is made, I think, in the 90s, so that you already know it's not going to be very good. Um, I want to say heather locklear play priscilla davis. I cannot remember the actor. If you saw the actor and you looked at like he looked a lot like home, but if you saw the guy, you're like, oh yeah, I know that guy. He's always kind of showing up in those made for tv movies. Uh, it's, I've seen a little bit. It's terrible. This is like one of these stories too. How has nobody ever come out and done a documentary or some sort of Netflix thing, or even done just a motion picture? Because there's so much about it.
Speaker 2:It's just such a wild, wild tale about power and money and how that can get you out of some trouble.
Speaker 1:Or get you into some trouble.
Speaker 2:Or get you in and out. Yes, and.
Speaker 1:I also thought about what you said about the movie. Is it possibly because Colin Davis is still alive, right Reformed? We'll talk about that in part two, maybe no?
Speaker 2:that was my initial thought. He would have had to have some sort of release, but obviously it did a made-for-TV movie. So if these rights have been bought I mean, movies are made about people's lives I don't know to what extent Hollywood has to have people's permission to make movies.
Speaker 1:I don't know, I don't know I really don't know. I don't know, maybe, but he is alive. Priscilla Davis has passed away. She died of cancer.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's been. She wrote a book.
Speaker 1:There was a book written 10 years, I think, so she eventually passed away so we're talking about the dynamics of a man, a woman, fort worth high society. Uh, chris, they meet in 1968, is that right?
Speaker 2:they do, but I want to jump before we get that far. Back on august 7, 1976, pr, who was estranged at the time from Cullen, and her boyfriend Stan Farr come back to their very ritzy Fort Worth mansion and it's a little past midnight and when they approach the door it's unlocked and so initially Priscilla knew that her youngest daughter, andrea, was staying there, but thought maybe she just you know, perhaps failed to set the alarm and her and Stan both enter the house. They go in the kitchen. Priscilla sees some blood on the one of the doors. I believe it leads down. The basement. On the handle is like what's going on? Well, at that moment a shadowy figure comes around the corner and she looks and says the shadow figure says hi, and she realizes in her own words it's Cullen and a black wig, nothing covering his face and some dark clothes and he shoots her in her chest, in fact in her breast. She falls to the ground and yells out to Stan, who's around the corner, that Cullen shot her and he needs to run.
Speaker 1:Okay, this is her boyfriend.
Speaker 2:This is her boyfriend.
Speaker 1:Okay.
Speaker 2:Okay, okay.
Speaker 1:You got that, I got it.
Speaker 2:You got that, I got it, so he shoots Stan four times.
Speaker 1:Okay.
Speaker 2:But before we go any further, I'd really like to get into the lives of Priscilla and Cullen.
Speaker 1:Yes, because again.
Speaker 2:If we can.
Speaker 1:Let's do it 1968, they meet at a fancy country club in Fort Worth.
Speaker 2:They do. Priscilla, at the time she is married to a you know a gentleman who owns a few car lots, and I mean they have money. But she really she wants more in her life and she has two daughters. She actually has three children, but two of the daughters still are living with her at the time. And so at this time she is like I said, she's got a lot in life. She wants a little bit more.
Speaker 2:She starts taking some tennis lessons at a, I say, local, but at a pretty exclusive Fort Worth country club, and as she's doing it she's hanging out, she's making friends, but she's also a little bit on the prowl for perhaps what her next move is going to be. And this is actually where she meets Colin at, and so he's quite taken by her. She's a, you know, beautiful woman and so, you know, I think they just they kind of start hitting it off a little bit. Mind you, he's married and so is she, and so they, you know they are kind of going, you know, like I said, gone on dates at the time to. You know, um Cullen is in. Well, we it's not jumped too far ahead with him. You know they are building this relationship and he's married and so there's really. I don't want to get too much into his previous relationship, even hers as well too.
Speaker 1:No yeah.
Speaker 2:But I mean, there is so much to talk about.
Speaker 1:They were just both married at the time. They met, seeing each other a little bit.
Speaker 2:Or he was either filing for divorce or was about to file for divorce. Well, at least from my understanding, obviously he's married and Cullen is a. The family he's part of is obviously the Davises, but they are a probably he's probably the wealthiest family in Texas. At the time His father started a company called Ken Davis industry that provided all the oil field equipment, essentially globally um, very, very, very wealthy. But his father also is the. He is the patriarch, he runs the show. Obviously his children have, you know, a piece of the pie. But to the point, his dad was very controlling of his life and so he lived in his kind of dad's estate with his wife and children. And I think you know Colin kind of longed to live, he wanted to do his own thing and the family is somewhat conservative, you know. But I mean, these are big, big money people.
Speaker 2:We're talking about members of the Petroleum Club in Fort Worth somewhat untouchable, and so his father was very unapproving of this relationship.
Speaker 1:Yeah, well, because she's not considered the socialite type I would describe her as more of a little bit of a party girl.
Speaker 2:She dyes her hair blonde.
Speaker 1:She will eventually image matters to her money and at this time it doesn't come from it well, and actually, you know, in this time too they're just dating.
Speaker 2:So there's really not much being seen, although I believe he's obviously she's split from her husband, split right, they're dating. Father does not want him to marry her. Um, however, that does change because, you know, kenneth davis passes away with leaving essentially him and his brothers in control of the company, also opening the door for him to marry Priscilla and also opening the door to a lot of money. And so now that he has this freedom kind of under the thumb of his father, he's got this girl on his side. That's, you know, he's kind of building into his own vision of you know what he thinks he wants his sidekick to be his partner. You know, to the point where he really encouraged her, like at the time her hair was blonde, but like he wanted her hair blonde, like talk about Khaleesi blonde, you know.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:The dragon queen.
Speaker 1:Yeah, whatever, queen of the Andals.
Speaker 2:Like a white, yeah, and so, mind you, this is, you know, very early 70s. You know they flew to Europe to get a breast augmentation for her, which at the time was a very new procedure. So you know he got the whole thing going. You know, the little skinny blonde Texas girl with some larger breasts got the hair. You know, at this time too they're really traveling. I mean, they're taking Learjets here, learjets there. They even report. You know like he went to a gallery in New York and bought essentially three quarters of the paintings there. They would just collect things. You know, go to these interesting locations, get an elephant, tusk ivory, you know to the point. You know, a bedspread that was made of silver fox.
Speaker 2:So if you think about how much a silver fox jacket at the time may cost, and then think about how many foxes it takes to make a bedspread of this. I mean this is very elaborate. I mean this is just blowing money. These are like fun coupons just going left and right.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I think about if I had that much money, I would absolutely love it. But, I always wonder to be rich enough to care about things like that.
Speaker 2:Of course.
Speaker 1:I'm okay with the bedspread I have now. Maybe if I had a lot of money I would all of a sudden want a Silver Fox bedspread.
Speaker 2:I'm pretty sure PETA would be on your ass about that. I'm just like it is. Be on your ass about that.
Speaker 1:I'm just like it is.
Speaker 2:Fox is a little.
Speaker 1:I have been in some wealthy houses and I have seen some things that I'm like oh, I wonder if I was rich, if I would really think about that.
Speaker 2:Well, and here's the thing they are, they're living it up. Okay, oh my gosh, she's house, like you mentioned. Well, almost there. But as far as, like, the nightlife, you know, and this is the this seven people, this is a different time People are going out, they're going to you know, yeah, early stages.
Speaker 2:But I mean, this is, you know, these are very wealthy, very wealthy Texans. You know they're probably driving to Dallas and partying. They're going down by TCU, going to all the bars. They're very well liked in their circle. People want to hang out with them and, however, that is the one thing like with Priscilla, she's not really.
Speaker 2:He's already in this life Like he's been. He was born into it. He ain't going nowhere but with her, like you mentioned, she's kind of a little bit lavish dresses, a little outrageous, to the point where you know, like I think I was telling her, like showing up at the cotillion with a leather miniskirt and a halter top. And you got all these other, you know these fine Texas women, just you know, wearing probably shirts bucked up to their neck and this and that Very conservative. But that being said, these same people, they might shun them a little bit at the event during the daytime, but they like to party.
Speaker 2:And you brought up the house. And one thing that's really a big part of this whole case is that, prior to him even marrying Priscilla and even having this vision, he wanted to have his own place, wanted to have his own life and he had envisioned. Essentially, I think they bought a. He had purchased a hundred acres outside of Fort Worth still Fort Worth proper and he had this idea to build this kind of a fortress, at the time, one of the most expensive homes being built.
Speaker 2:It was a $6 million build. We looked it up in today's money that's $43 million. Yeah, it's like incredible what the yeah and think about.
Speaker 1:it was a six million dollar build we looked it up in today's money, that's 43 million dollars. It's like think about credible with the yeah and think about yeah think about what you could purchase with that.
Speaker 2:And so in part of this I mean, this thing had the best. You know, like we think now our ring doorbell is like nothing like this. Had all that stuff in 1972, ish you know.
Speaker 1:Indoor swimming video cameras.
Speaker 2:Indoor swimming pool, you know you had. You know you go in his bedroom, the big thing with, like you see in all the old james bond movies, the different tvs with security cameras, you know doors that would unlock by keypads, which so it was very um unheard of. What do you, what do you want down there?
Speaker 1:you just chill out, we're talking to us. We're busy we're busy.
Speaker 2:but um, but house. I mean this is where they're holding parties. I mean they're holding court. People want to go over there, they want to be part of this and of course, being that it is the 70s, there are drugs involved. Now there's not much indication that he did any drugs. You know even her. We do have reports which will come out later about her being addicted to painkillers and part of this partying and stuff too. One of the reasons that she actually got addicted to painkillers is that Cullen was rather abusive to her in some instances and to that point I believe she was pushed down some stairs in this house. You know he's kind of a. He was raised a little hard, even though his dad, they had all this money. His dad used his nickname. His dad's nickname was Stinky because he was raised a little hard.
Speaker 2:Even though his dad they had all this money. His dad's nickname was Stinky, because he was just a stinky person.
Speaker 1:You know what I mean. That was his nickname.
Speaker 2:He didn't stink, but he just was not very nice and so he kind of. I won't say he had a hard upbringing. He had everything he wanted, but his dad was hard on him, Pardon me, I just I wonder.
Speaker 1:So like I look at pictures of Colin Davis back in this, time, it's not like he's like some six-foot-two husky, good-looking like businessman. He's kind of scrawny, he's kind of you know, he kind of looks like he would be a know-it-all in a conversation.
Speaker 1:He looks like a poor man's Jerry Lee Lewis he is is like so you know, I don't know Like I'm gonna kind of probably think he had some maybe lack of manhood in him a little bit, which is why he probably got physical with her. I think she probably had a little bit of a mouth on her and he just wasn't used to that.
Speaker 2:What he was not used to was anybody saying no to him.
Speaker 1:Exactly so. I think that's maybe where some of this comes from.
Speaker 2:To the point that he didn't like because of the time they're living in this house. She has her two daughters there. Her son is not living with her at the time and I believe he may have been with her previous marriage. You know the father um. He was a pretty mean guy and so there is an account. You know that her older daughter, um d, was up in her bedroom and he went up there to have some words with her and he didn't like what she said and she he punched her in the nose and this.
Speaker 2:At the time she was like a probably a 14 or 15 year old kid, um, and then, when priscilla came in, was wondering what all the fuss is about. They had a new kitten that was wandering. He picked up the kitten and slammed it on the ground and it still didn't kill it and slammed it a second time. I mean, this is the kind of guy he was. He was not used to being saying no, nobody really tested him and so, yeah, you said you might got a little mouthy. You know, we don't know about how that mouth can can get you why are you looking at me?
Speaker 2:because we've been looking at each other the whole time just saying you know how the mouth can get you right, I do get a little mouthy, but they're, you know they're. They're definitely partying, but there is some. They're starting to be a little bit of separation between the two because obviously there's some abuse. There's's no, you know, between and there's not really anybody she can go to about him. This guy, like I said, he has some serious wealth and power.
Speaker 1:So six years they were married. Is that right About six years? Maybe not even at that six year.
Speaker 2:I think it might've been four at this point, but they they end up filing for divorce in 1974. This is not going to work out, yeah, but one thing about the divorce is that happens in a lot of cases. You said you were surprised. I really wasn't, because I just think this is really the way a lot of it used to go back then. But she was awarded this house in addition to spousal support. This house, like you said, when we say it was his baby, it was his dream, it was his Atlantis, whatever I don't know, whatever his Garden of Eden Fortress.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I mean it was his. Yeah, it was his.
Speaker 2:It ate him at the crawl about this. I mean, this was not. He was not happy, but he basically was told that he could not visit the house and he was kicked out. So this obviously created a big point of contention. But so this obviously, you know, created a big point of contention. But now they're kind of out, they're separated, they're on their own, they kind of go their separate ways. He ends up meeting, uh, going well, dating a secretary um, karen masters is her name, and she does. She finds a boyfriend as well whose name is stan farr and he's an ex-tcu football sorry, basketball player who owns a bar, kind of in the tcu area that a lot of people are going to and having fun. She meets him and they're both kind of got their little lives going. But obviously this you know, he's not happy. He's staying in some hotel or motel, which I always thought was odd that he was just staying in. The got all this money, you know, and and this is also one thing we didn't really talk about they were spending money like crazy.
Speaker 1:Oh my gosh.
Speaker 2:They built this house, he actually had to get kind of reined in by his brothers and have a stern talking to because of the amount of money they were blowing. Another thing he did not like. But they're going out. Their paths are crossing.
Speaker 1:Yes.
Speaker 2:Periodically as they're going out, they're having these wild parties at the house too. You know he can't. You know she's kind of hanging around with a bad element. You know that is one thing that they do indicate. You know, obviously she has the boyfriend. He knows some unsavory people, but they're saying, you know, you read the port there's some biker gangs. They're drug dealers and she's kind of mean.
Speaker 2:Some people you know and they're you. There's one account like they're all partying at the old Willie Nelson big gathering down in Austin and like she's taken her 15 year old daughter down there and I mean this is a. It's a bit of a scene, you know, but then in looking back, it's the freaking seventies. I mean people, that's just kind of what you did. I went over there with my parents. You probably did the same thing. I just think kids were probably part of that adult life because you didn't have these things called babysitters.
Speaker 1:As much, Chris. We've talked about this. We were raised in bowling alley. Daycares.
Speaker 2:Our father's bowl and they dropped us off in the little room. Nothing to be proud of, Russ.
Speaker 1:In the little room that had some babysitters at the bowling alley. I'm thinking, I kind of want to like put this to our listeners, like imagining this maybe from a woman's perspective and maybe I'm thinking in like a man's mind. You have a man like Colin Davis, who does not like to be told no, who has built this amazing house. I mean we'll post pictures of it on our socials. I mean it was kind of on top of a hill, very excluded, like you said. He had purchased like 100 acres. I mean you know Colin Davis lives there. Type of house, right you?
Speaker 1:know who that house belongs to.
Speaker 2:There's nothing like it. There's nothing like it. I mean now there probably is, but back then there was nothing like it.
Speaker 1:No, and you have a woman. It reminds me of the house in the LA Black Dahlia, if anybody has read that book. But the doctor who owned that house, it was like a fortress, just like this. So he builds this house, he gets married to her, Chris, they divorce and the judge gives her the house. Now I thought that was a surprise. Because of who he is and where he comes from. I didn't think that they would have given her no children together. She has two daughters at teenage early 11, 12 years old at that time. But you have a guy of wealth and so I mean, I think he is in this hotel room just stirring.
Speaker 1:Well then, mind you I mean, I think he is in this hotel room just stirring Well, then, mind you, I mean temporary, temporary residence.
Speaker 2:I don't want to allude to that.
Speaker 1:The house was just awarded to her. The divorce is not, but he was not allowed on property.
Speaker 2:No, I just and I want to clarify this is not finalized. This is just filed for. The initial was she's granted temporary residence. He's got to get the boot booted out, you know. And so this was, like I said, obviously big deal, but at this stage, you know, I don't want to say they're amicable, I'm sure their paths cross, but you know they're parting up. This goes on. You know, this divorce is very much stretched out.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:He's not having much push with this judge, he's got no play. He's not having much push with this judge, he's got no play. And on the same day as we mentioned August 2nd 1976, that morning the judge actually adjust her spousal support, I want to say, up to like 10 grand a month and still continue to let her live there. And you know, clearly got to be furious at this point. But we fast forward.
Speaker 2:For that morning to that night, priscilla at the time is estranged from Colin. She arrives back at her mansion with Stan Farr. They go to the front door and they notice that it's unlocked, which she thinks is strange. And I'm just repeating the same thing. But I want to set the stage. You know, but she figures Andrea's home, maybe forgot to lock the door. You know, like I said, the very high security house, you know, but she figures andrea's home and maybe forgot to lock the door. You know, like I said, the very high security house, you know, you got to push keypads, maybe she just figured she slipped up.
Speaker 2:She goes into the kitchen, sees the door that we believe leading to the basement, sees some blood and then, out from the shadows, a figure comes out and says hi, and she looks and it's colon and a long wig and black clothes. He shoots her in the chest and actually, from my understanding, her breast implant. I don't know if that's sending a message or whatnot. She falls to the ground and tells Stan Cullen it's Cullen, he shot me run. Cullen comes around the corner and shoots Stan. Four times.
Speaker 2:She runs out of the house. She is kind of frantic. According to accounts too, she is running and running and running. I think at some point she does report. She realizes where is Andrea.
Speaker 1:Yeah, my daughter, her daughter, her daughter.
Speaker 2:She's. This has still not been resolved.
Speaker 1:She's run out of the house. She's run out of the house trying to save herself.
Speaker 2:Not really, I don't want to say save herself, but getting away for the scene, you know. And about this time that she is exiting the house. Uh, two of priscilla's friends, a friend of hers and her fiancee, are arrived there as well and and her friend the female sees the same shadowy figure coming out the long wig and tells her fiance that's Colin, what's he doing here? He's not supposed to be here. And at that time he realized he sees the two people, fires a few shots, hits her fiance, one of the bullets goes through his spine and severs it, falls to the ground. He's paralyzed. Beverly is her friend's name.
Speaker 2:She runs away because I believe her fiance says you know, get out of here yeah she doesn't really know where colin is and, mind you, we keep saying colin because there's two people now that have identified that this is colin.
Speaker 1:That's done this oh, and we want to say this is at night time. It is at night time, yeah, this isn't like during the day, where everybody can see each little past midnight, yeah okay, um, and so she runs away.
Speaker 2:Priscilla has made her way to another neighborhood. You know she's screaming for help. She's bleeding, it shot in the chest but you know she's still alive. She's able to make it to this neighborhood To get some help, some medical attention, you know. And of course she is telling everybody Colin, colin did this. Everybody knows who he is in this, around this area. You know, um, her friend, beverly, makes it back the house, obviously to tend, she think, you know, kind of the coast is clear, we'll say and ceo goes back to assess her fiance. Obviously he is a, you know he's alive, but he's a pretty bad shape. But they call the police. You know the police show up at the house and obviously I'm looking, and then they realize, you know, like for the reports. You know, I think beverly might mention, you know, I believe maybe her daughter was here. And as they go and looking through the house, they do find andrea has been shot, essentially execution style. She's 12 years old at the time it's terrible you know we're getting all these accounts.
Speaker 2:Obviously at this time priscilla's made the hospital we have, of a child.
Speaker 2:Well, murder of a child, you got a murder of a guy, her boyfriend, stan Farr. Priscilla's shot in the hospital. And so, you know, police, probably in two locations. Of course her oldest daughter they do reach out to D. She does make it a hospital. And the first thing Priscilla says and Dee will even say this this day, if you look at interviews, I mean everybody's convinced. You know, in the meantime, obviously this is rolling around in the morning time From reports, colin was called by his oldest brother that following morning at his you know hotel room he was staying at or living in, and says you know, just want to let you know Priscilla and Andrea have been shot, andrea's dead. You know, according to reports Colin was not really phased by this, but his brother also tells him too. Just so you know you're the suspect, thank you.
