He described leaving The House then coming home, only to find his wife dead in their bedroom. She was cold and stiff and i recall her hands being something like that. Other details surrounding the death seem to elude curtis. I dont remember anything significant. You said you went to bed together . Yeah. I believe we did. Its been a long time. I guess its possible i wouldve slept on the couch or something. You said you took the kids to school . Again, i believe i did. He didnt remember a lot about that day. Couldnt even remember if he took the kids to school that day . Right. I wouldve thought finding your wife dead in Bed Wouldve left more of an impression on you.

Curtis lovelace could not believe how his world had fallen apart. He was the fairhaired boy and then the next he was being interrogated by police for killing his first Wife Cory. On my side of the Debt Bed when i found her dead. Christine was in a panic. Her husband had been arrested and now she was looking for her sons. I found out all three boys were at the police station. They had been taken out of school and held in isolation earlier in the day. They were 17, 15, and 12 years old at the time. Alone at the police headquarters. Once christine found out she would they were there, she rushed to the station. They thought something had happened to me. I walked in and they got up and they all were very scared. They hugged me and i told them everything would be okay. Detective gibson rounded up the boys because he was looking for more information. I am looking into the death of your mom from 2006. The detective started to question them about the last days of their mothers life. You went into your Mom Ski Room and she was in bed . We Wake Up every morning and then id go when a room. Do you know what time that was . Larson wasnt interviewed in 2006 because he was only four years old. Now, he was telling Detective Gibson he wasnt sure if his mother is alive that morning. He said he only remembered getting out of bed and going to his Moms Room but she didnt answer. I remember, she wouldnt Wake Up. I think it was Valentines Day. Dad was gone. Came back. Then i told him that, yeah, she was not waking up. The two Altar Boys said they remembered seeing their mom that morning. This is the middle boy lincoln. I just remember waking up. I remember her not feeling good and i was sitting on the stairs. I went to school. I think i remember saying, i love you, before we left. The eldest son said he knew for certain that his mom was alive that february 14. She was sitting on the steps. Ready for us to leave The House. Christine was still trying to find her husband. She didnt know he was transferred to a different jail. Eventually, he called. He told me everything would be okay. That we were going to have to fight some things. Her husband was in jail and she was dumbfounded as to why the police had taken the boys out of school and interview them without parental permission. She felt better about this. The two oldest boys backed their dads story. They had seen their mom alive Valentines Day morning, just as curtis said. They saw their mother alive that day. Thats the gist of their story. So she couldnt be dead upstairs. We saw her alive. The Boys Sister lyndsay had told police two separate times her mom was alive that morning. Had seen her off to school on Valentines Day. Standing in the hall and marching us out the door. On the day of her fathers arrest, lyndsay was at college when she had an emotional talk with her brothers. Talk to them on the phone the day he got arrested. They were sobbing because they were scared. They asked me to come home, and thats the last thing. Thats when another tragedy unfolded within the Lovelace Family. Around the time of Curtiss Arrest, his relationship with his daughter deteriorated. The family doesnt want to get into details, but lyndsay found herself cut off from her brothers. I have been completely shut out. You knew the charge against your father. That he put a pillow over your Mothers Nose and smothered her. That a stark image to deal with. It is something i didnt ponder and chose not to ponder. A jury would soon be pondering curtis is guilt or innocence. In august 2014, the 45 your former assistant States Attorney found himself standing in a courtroom. This time as a defendant at his own arraignment. Having to appear in a courtroom that i served as a prosecutor and dressed in stripes and having my hands and my feet shackled, those were some really low times. Married eight months, Wife Number 3s commitment, for better or worse, was put to the test. My husband, who is kind and caring and compassionate, is charge was something so heinous that it makes no sense. If convicted, Curtis Lovelace could spend the rest of his life in prison for the murder of his wife, cory. If that wasnt enough stress, his daughter lyndsay, was about to drop a bombshell. Coming up.

Now, his face was plastered on the front page of the Quincy Newspaper as an accused murderer. We are relying on the media were all over the story, covering every moment of his fall from grace. He is accused of killing his first wife. The former prosecutor would be prosecuted. You cant get around Rigor Mortis. And make sense of this case and the Time Line doesnt make sense with Curtis Lovelace. In january 2016, nearly a decade after cory lovelaces death, cory arrived Ash Curtis arrived for his trial. He pleaded not guilty. Cameras were not allowed in the courtroom. Its clear it didnt matter what i did as far as the prosecution was concerned. There are only concern was they needed to create a crime, and they needed for me to look bad in order to do that. Curtis didnt need the prosecutors help to look bad. Some of his actions a Day Cory died read the least unusual, including never calling 911. His wife is dead in the bed. He calls his boss . He said my wife is dead. His boss said would you like me to call the ambulance people . Yes. Would you do that. Corys mom who lived a few houses away testified that curtis broke the news of her Daughters Death and what she thought was the most callous way. There was a knock at the Door And Curtis was standing there with larson. At open the door. And says . By the way, cory is dead. I think thats very strange. Take your grandson and by the way, your daughter is dead. He was emotionless. People who saw him that they claimed that he was without emotion. Curtis also knew cpr but he never tried to revive his wife. Why didnt you do cpr . I dont know. I dont know why i didnt do cpr. I dont know why i didnt call 911. In looking back, i saw my Wife Cory dead, and i didnt know how to react. The prosecutor next when after the first police investigation. Pushing hard against the detective who handled the case. He questioned if he gave curtis, who was then an assistant States Attorney, preferential treatment. He was a prosecutor and they were the police. He gave a story how it happened. They bought into it. He is one of us. Maybe tougher questions didnt get asked. Neighbors testify The Household was sometimes a stormy one. And that he suggested to jurors is the backdrop of Corys Death. They fought all the time. It was a rocky marriage with lots of arguments going both ways. They got out of control. Maybe the evidence indicates that placing a pillow over ones face to make them stop yelling at me, maybe in her state, if she was and had flu like symptoms, maybe it went too far. The States Theory is the force of the pillow cause the Cut And Abrasion on the outside and inside cory s let. They imply the pillow was placed under her arms after she died and later removed. If you leave it there through the night while Rigor Mortis is setting in and if the person is thinking, oh, my god, what did i do. There is the pillow and i will get rid of the pillow, then the arms are already up. You think thats what happened. Then the most anticipated testimony for the prosecution. Lyndsay, Curtiss Daughter took The Stand. Two times over eight years, she told police her mother was alive that morning. She said she felt better. On The Stand with her Dads Life on the line, she changed her story telling jurors she was no longer sure her mom was alive that day. Dont remember any of it. And yet in the detectives note to tell the story about seeing her mother. A videotaped interview with the Detective Gibson, you seem clear about that morning and you saw her and went off to school. What happened between your statement and going to trial, then stepping back from all of that . No one had honestly asked me sincerely what had happened that day, and i never took time to think about it. Detective gibson did when he took your statement . Again, i didnt know why he was asking. I gave the story i always gave. When i had to think about it, i had to be honest with myself and it wasnt the answer i wanted. I wish i could say yes, i remember her or no i did not see her. But you cannot say that. And its not you getting back at your dad. No. He needs that story. It hurts my brothers too. For me to honestly say i saw her. I will say what i can remember which is nothing. It is a black hole. Its a traumatizing event. When kids go through traumatizing events, they block things out. Losing my mother was the worst day of my life. How do we understand whats going on with lyndsay . She told the story that like her brothers remember seeing her mom alive but then she backs away and says i cant remember. I dont know what is in her head and heart. One day she was happy and then everything changed. The prosecution had to explain what the two oldest boys were adamant that her mom is alive that morning. He told jurors there was a two Day Gap between Corys Death and the first Police Interviews with the kids. Ample time he suggested for the boys to be influenced by their dad. I think the children were confused as to which day. How about coach . He had custody of the children from the moment of her discovery until thursday afternoon. From tuesday until thursday afternoon, dont know what was said. Dr. Turner, the pathologist they hired to review the case took The Stand and said science is where the truth lies. She concluded the most reasonable explanation for corys Arms Appearing To Levitate is that cory was dead to 12 hours before police arrived on the scene. I reviewed the material with the eye of a scientist and what we know about the development of Rigor Mortis. What would a jury believe . Science for the words from two of corys own sons . Corys brother found himself struggling over the facts. I have to believe in science but i have to believe in the family at the same time. I am completely torn. Ive never seen a more difficult case. There doesnt seem to be middle ground. Parkinson urged the jury to focus on the science and one image. Cory in her bed and her body in Rigor Mortis. He said approved she died hours before curtis claimed. It proved he was lying. Approved, he argued, the curtis killed her. Coming up. The defense gets its Turn And Christine is feeling optimistic.
