Here are just a few of the characters involved with the case.
Rob and life-long friend, Hugh Ladd.
Hugh was not fond of Lisa, feeling that she
tried to come between Rob and his close friends.
Next door neighbor, Bill Shinn, came to
Rob's rescue the night of the attempted murder,
when he heard Rob banging on his gutters with a base ball bat.
Dan Stewart, lead investigator on the case, said,
"Some [detectives] work a career and never get a case like this."
Lisa Outlaw Whedbee:
Charged with attempted murder and conspiracy
to commit first degree murder, and
solicitation to commit murder.
Michael David Frazier
Lisa Whedbee's Lover (?).
Charged with Attempted First Degree Murder
and Conspiracy to Commit First Degree Murder.
Bloody bed sheets in Rob's bedroom.
Rob Whedbee testifying in the Frazier trial about
waking up to see a man with a large knife raised and
ready to cut Rob's throat.
Frazier, on the stand. "I was going to do
anything I had to to help Lisa."
Defense Attorney, Greg Isaacs, showing
award-winning story written by Frazier
about the trials and sacrifices Lisa Whedbee
had to make to care for her child with profound disabilities.
The article was, in fact, a fairy tale of sorts. The lion's share of
care for Brit was done by Rob and his parents.
Lisa even admits in the article that when people would tell her how cute
Brittany was, she would think, "No she's not. She's different." Some saint, huh?
Sheriff Tim Hutchison (ret.) said this was
one of the strangest cases he worked during
his 5-term tenure as Knox County Sheriff.
This is such an interesting story, I cannot wait to read more about it!
