A house rule not respected
Charles Heller and his wife told investigators they had imposed a strict rule on their daughter: no one was allowed to stay in their home overnight. Hearing Lauryn and her boyfriend's voices after dark, the father texted his daughter to request that his guest leave the house. The young woman did not answer and left the room for a few moments. Meanwhile, her beloved, Dustyn Hunt-Bagby, hid under the bed. A moment during which Charles Heller took the opportunity to go to the room. After finding the young man in his underwear, Charles Heller grabbed his gun. Dustyn Hunt-Bagby was subsequently the victim of a stray bullet to the shoulder after having tried to disarm his stepfather. Charles Heller's indictment for manslaughter two years after the tragedy is a real relief for Lisa Hunt, the mother of the victim. "He will never get married, never have children, will not have a career, will never come to family dinners. But this decision makes the pain a little more manageable"she told the Seattle Times. A relief that is not unlike that of Laetitcia Coulom, after the indictment of the main suspect in the murder of his brother, little Jonathan.
