14:26

lim looks far younger than sixty six

14:29

as shoulder length auburn hair green

14:32

eyes and is wearing medical scrubs she

14:35

still working long hours as a nurse

14:37

and she's agreed to meet me after work one

14:39

day the

14:41

was very kind very compassionate

14:45

he was the typical

14:48

give you a one rose kind of guy that

14:51

, just him he was family oriented

14:53

everything was about the boys boys

14:56

wasn't an activist he didn't go any of the

14:58

protests when he did his job he came

15:00

home none of none

15:02

the other stuff he wasn't

15:04

on t v didn't wanna be on a tv so

15:06

didn't wanna be on the cameras he hated

15:08

all that stuff that isn't graph

15:11

he pulled his own ways shoveled

15:13

his own driveway

15:15

asked len if she

15:17

knows why bart decided to become

15:19

and ob she why an think

15:22

, one of his electives twenty was the resident

15:24

and he liked it and he went into it it

15:27

he always said that as far as

15:29

he abortion aspect of aspect was

15:31

never going take woman and crisis

15:34

and send them to send stranger and

15:36

which do think and was motivated more

15:39

strongly to stand his ground

15:41

because of the forces that gathering

15:44

around absolutely but more

15:46

he did it and more became did

15:48

and harder for patients to

15:50

get the care they needed i think care he

15:52

felt he was kind

15:54

obligated to fulfil that need

15:57

so i asked

15:59

when the protests started around

16:01

their home i can is

16:03

always hear the police with

16:05

com and they would keep him in the street or people

16:08

within us there is buffer zone they

16:10

could only come within a certain number of faith

16:12

of the home but they would be right out

16:14

there all there neighborhood come out

16:17

many agree with on a friday night pretty regular

16:19

basis there there

16:24

in nineteen eighty eight as and sealed with

16:26

antiabortion protesters appeared outside

16:29

their home as part in this family

16:31

opened hanukkah presence and side the

16:33

protesters taunted bars yelling

16:36

that he was a murderer

16:38

dr sloppy and then smashed of and

16:40

windows with baseball bat and was

16:42

later charged with assault

16:44

i didn't feel fearful now my always

16:47

, angry than fearful

16:50

any now i think eddie murphy a focus the

16:53

cannibal more volatile but i

16:56

, they were gonna physically do

16:58

anything but they

17:00

were just obnoxious what

17:03

about bar was he afraid we see it on the front lawn

17:05

try to talk to them or how to do we we always had

17:07

attacked on the always chided to tell him the

17:09

please leave and the place for tom the leave

17:12

and they'd leave and then misses the police love they

17:14

would come back and it was there

17:16

, a hotline that you could call

17:18

and you could find out where they were going that night

17:21

and nine for some time he will come on our

17:23

house

17:26

was there ever any warning every free

17:28

saw that the something like have a

17:30

shot for time ago none

17:33

none i mean there was it's always

17:35

best your head but they were probably starting

17:38

as the quite awhile before it happened

17:41

before whoever death what really gets

17:43

me with my kids and mean

17:46

they must spend sucking i they a new

17:48

we were we were going the night we went out

17:50

a new i'm he came back they must have seen the

17:52

headlights come up they driveway

17:56

well planned out any

17:58

claims that research on fortunate lucky

18:01

shot or whatever want to call it but i

18:03

mean he had high powered scope and everything

18:05

so of it was i would say is good distance

18:07

away we had come back

18:10

from temple services and bar went

18:12

to weren't from soup from soup the microwave and at

18:14

my getting taken suitors

18:16

corporate off with her

18:20

maybe now that upsets her home sad

18:22

see yeah

18:24

they were watch

18:29

they were watching us a

18:31

word men uses throughout her descriptions

18:34

of the events who ,

18:36

they james cop

18:38

and who else

18:47

right now

18:51

the dead and raised here that cop parker

18:54

guess this is how reagan and the woods

18:56

the back backing

19:00

into the very spot that i think james

19:02

car parked and

19:15

this

19:16

must be the party took he

19:18

would walk along here

19:24

have you been back here before

19:28

i'm walking back behind doctor slept in

19:30

former house with amanda to get firsthand

19:33

look at scene amanda

19:35

leads the way but grows more silent

19:38

a dilapidated wouldn't backyard stance

19:40

on my right probably dating from

19:42

the time the shooting runs along

19:44

behind a row of well appointed houses

19:47

, of trees and bushes ahead and

19:49

on the left side the sense would obscure

19:51

any approach we

19:54

stop behind were amanda's uncle used

19:56

to live at to live of larger trees

19:59

with the kitchen view

20:03

and a kitten is there and

20:06

, right where

20:08

the flowers go to where the flowers has

20:10

the flowers others have success

20:16

yeah minutes with i can imagine a more

20:18

clear line of sight to

20:20

kitchen window than this

20:24

according to fbi documents media

20:26

reports and interviews car parked

20:28

his nineteen eighty seven black chevrolet cavalier

20:31

a short distance away at the dead end of street

20:34

walked behind sloppy and house as

20:36

we just have passing through neighbor's

20:39

backyard to the area where

20:41

he set up his russian made rifle in scope

20:43

using a treat steady himself shot

20:46

through the kitchen window was about ninety feet

20:48

away a clear view into

20:50

the lives the family the was shooting was

20:57

after he made his shot he buried his

20:59

rifle close by in rubber

21:01

tube that been prepared ahead of time

21:04

and other items and nearby holes

21:06

that had likely already been pre doug

21:08

and then made his escape a

21:11

, for cops dna was found

21:13

here behind doctors like eons house

21:15

it's the burial the repeat visits

21:17

and the organization of organization all that

21:19

makes me think cop must have had

21:21

someone helping him

21:26

the

21:27

and help the announced that he had it

21:29

so well planned out he had to have somebody

21:31

help them get to neighborhood

21:34

the cop was named material witness

21:37

twelve days after the shooting and

21:39

it was it was piece of information

21:41

logged by a neighbor just over a week

21:43

before the shooting that helped point

for the killing of barnett slurpee and and

30:50

was sentenced to twenty five years to life

30:53

the

30:53

where's the investigation here why talk

30:55

about murder that's already been apparently

30:57

solved because

31:00

there's more

31:05

hi i'm shooting of abortion provider

31:09

dr slightly in wasn't the only abortion

31:11

provider to be shot

31:15

he died and there was doctor rochester

31:19

new york she was injured and macmillan

31:21

three doctors and

31:23

canada

31:25

in addition to the murder of doctor slept

31:27

in james com as a suspect

31:29

and for other attacks on doctors

31:32

because the striking similarities between

31:34

shootings people may

31:36

not remember as much about canadian

31:38

abortion providers who were also

31:40

the victims of sniper attacks doctor

31:43

gary ramallah was the first to be shot

31:45

as his home in british columbia in november

31:47

nineteen ninety four followed

31:49

by dr seuss short and ontario

31:51

in november nineteen ninety five and

31:54

then doctor jack feynman in manitoba

31:56

in november nineteen ninety seven an

31:59

american doctor in rochester new york

32:01

was also shot at in the same

32:03

year as doctor feynman the two

32:05

bullets missed but he was injured by debris

32:09

all three canadian doctors were badly

32:11

injured but survived and

32:13

all three had their lives and those of their

32:15

family and community pretty much

32:17

ripped apart

32:19

my puppy wow you know like a bunch

32:21

area lake i would be very

32:23

curious to know no

32:26

i was why they did around

32:29

feel about now

32:32

so would i in fact

32:34

none of the canadian cases were brought

32:36

justice and like amanda

32:38

like think there has to be more to the story

32:41

of the shootings the shooter

32:43

or shooters and who might have

32:45

helped along the way
