Colleen couldn’t believe what she’d just done.

She watched as her husband laid lifeless and drenched in his blood. So she decided to call her attorney David Weiner.

David called 911.

Dispatcher: 911, what’s your emergency?

David: There’s been a homicide.

Dispatcher: Okay. What happened?

David: Yeah, I can’t tell you. I’m an attorney.

Colleen and Robert Met in California

Colleen met Robert “Bob” Harris for the first time when Robert was on vacation in California.

The two were still teenagers at the time.

They went on a date. But they lost touch afterward.

In adulthood, Robert worked as a manager in the US Forest Service. He got married to another woman. And he had three children.

But Robert’s marriage collapsed after twenty-five years.

On the other hand, Colleen had two failed marriages. She had three children. And her last marriage had ended in a homicide.
