True Crime Story Tells the Tale of Ultimate Betrayal and the Ultimate Failure of the Judicial System...
Rob Whedbee was a hard working and successful insurance man. He was known and well-respected around Knoxville, and his family and friends knew Rob’s word was the solid truth. He adored his children, Justin and Britanny, and spent as much time as he could with them. He liked being a father and he was a very good one. He also worked hard on his marriage and for years, everything seemed to be good. However, things began to change when his daughter was born in 1990. Two days after her birth, the doctor came to he and his wife, Lisa, and told them that Britanny had Down Syndrome. It was hard news to hear, but after some reflection, Rob knew things would be OK. They’d do what they had to to give their baby girl a good life, and care for her special needs. To say that Lisa didn't take the news well, would be an understatement. Bordering on hysteria, she turned to her husband and implored, “How do we get out of this?” Both Rob and his father-in-law, who was also in the room, were taken aback. From that moment on, things would never be the same between Lisa and Rob, and no one could begin to imagine just how bad things would eventually get.
