#1 In the summer of 2008, a thunderstorm hit the small town of Prescott, Arizona, and drenched the thirsty pines, scrub oak, and manzanita. It was a emotional cleansing for the Kennedy family, who were finally starting to get along again.

#2 Carol was a gentle, loving and openhearted soul. She was a devoted mother and therapist, and she taught courses such as Yoga Psychology and Painting From the Heart. She was also a role model and a mentor.

#3 The sunshine returned that Wednesday, reaching a searing high of 96 degrees. Carol and Steve exchanged texts about Katie’s BMW, which was parked in Carol’s garage: I need to come pick up the X3, he texted. When Carol replied that she assumed he had a spare key to get into the car, he asked if he could come out to pick it up that evening.

#4 After her divorce, Carol began receiving e-mails from her tenant, Jim Knapp, who was living in the guesthouse out back. She discussed these emails with her accountant, who suggested she dispute Steve's claim that she owed him $8,300.

While the other deputies went inside the house, Boan spoke to Jim through his driver’s-side window. Jim said he had been at the Bridle Path house until about 1 or 2 P.
