Summary

The Tragic Story Of The 2001 Murder Of Andrew Bagby Followed By The 2003 Murder-Suicide Of Andrew's 13 Month Old Zachary Turner And His Mother Shirley Turner [Part 1]

**KD IS NO LONGER WITH ORBITAL JIGSAW OR BLUBRRY**

WARNING: This episode contains details involving the death of a young child and may be difficult to listen to. Listener discretion is advised.

Zachary Andrew Turner was murdered by the hands of his mother on August 18, 2003 at the age of 13 months. She also was responsible for the murder of Zachary’s father, Andrew David Bagby, 1 year 9 months and 14 days earlier. In this series, we are going to examine the entire timeline from the very beginning to see just how preventable this tragedy should have been, to examine the warning signs that so many people overlooked, and discuss just how fair the justice system should be when it comes to the rights of parents - especially when that parent is actually facing indictment for her child’s father.
