Heartbreaking Murder of Four Young Parents | Killers Caught On Camera | Forensic Files

[THEME MUSIC] NARRATOR: This time on "Killers Caught on Camera," in St. Paul, Minnesota, a night out ends in slaughter.
- Local law enforcement could smell the blood. OFFICER: Definite bullet wound to the right side of the face.
- It doesn't make sense. It doesn't make any sense. NARRATOR: And in the Northeast of England,
a relationship disintegrates. - No matter what she does, he will always be watching,
and she can't hide from him. [DRAMATIC MUSIC] MAN: It just sounds like something
bad is happening to her. WOMAN: We know what happened because the video tells us what happened.
MAN: I heard some gunshots. OFFICER: Drop it! Whatever is, drop it! MAN: That does not prove that I killed my wife.
MAN: The camera doesn't lie. NARRATOR: In farm country Western Wisconsin is Dunn County.
In September 2021, the tranquility of this quiet agricultural community was shattered.
- On September 12, a farm worker who was working in a cornfield noticed some tire tracks.
He followed the tracks, and he found a black Mercedes. There was a woman slumped over in the front passenger seat.
NARRATOR: Sheriff's deputies responded to the macabre discovery. COLIN HALEY: Local law enforcement approached
the SUV in the cornfield. And as he got closer to that vehicle, he could smell the blood because there was so much of it
located inside the car. - There were actually four people in the vehicle. - One woman in the front passenger
seat, and then two men and one woman in the back seat. NARRATOR: All four victims shot dead at close range.
COLIN HALEY: This is a rural town in Wisconsin that probably doesn't have a murder every decade,
let alone four at one time. And so the local response must have been absolutely shocked,
wondering, how could this happen here. NARRATOR: Investigators began the grim task of searching
the vehicle for answers. - All the victims had identification on them. They were able to ascertain the victim's identity right away.
ANDREW JOHNSON: Nitosha Flug-Presley was in the front seat slumped over. There was Jasmine Sturm, who was in the passenger
side rear seat. Loyace Foreman, III who was found in the middle back seat. And then Matthew Pettus was located
behind the driver's seat. NARRATOR: All four lived 60 miles East in a close community
in St. Paul, Minnesota. - My brother Matt had a big heart. He was very kind. - (SINGING) Running across the meadow
- He had a great head on his shoulders, and he just offered the best feedback and advice.
CHRISTI FLUG: Nitosha, she had a smile that lit up the whole room. She had a beautiful personality.
She was the life of the party. ANGELA STURM: Jasmine and Loyace were dating. Actually, they were probably gonna get married.
He was soft spoken, kind. Jasmine said, you know, Mom, I actually-- I think I could spend my life with this man.
Jasmine and Nitosha met in grade school and just became fast friends. They're like sisters-- or were like sisters.
NARRATOR: All four victims were parents of young children. DAMONE PRESLEY: Nitosha was an excellent mother.
I seen that she took pride in that. She was very warm, loving. ALL: (SINGING) --birthday to
you Yay! [APPLAUSE] Yay, Madison. - Jasmine was very in tune with the children and helping them learn how to make decisions
and give them choices. Matthew has always wanted to have children. He always wanted to be married and have a big family.
So when his girlfriend found out she was pregnant, he was ecstatic. - Oh. [LAUGHS]
ANGELA STURM: The baby was a year old when Matt was taken away. DAMONE PRESLEY: I got a call from Mom.
She could barely talk. And she just said, Nitosha was murdered. Um, and I just hung up.
It's got to be a mistake. Unbelievable. This is not true. You know, why would somebody hurt my baby.
Um-- COLIN HALEY: At the time that the bodies were found in the SUV, it would have been anybody's guess whether or not
they were killed in that car, in the cornfield or somewhere along the way from wherever they were traveling.
NARRATOR: Back at the crime scene, investigators found further potential clues--
cell phones, six shell casings, and receipts from earlier that night, including one from a bar in St. Paul.
- There was also a state-issued identification card for a person by the name of Antoine Suggs,
covered in blood. So where is Mr. Suggs? And what is his identification card doing in this vehicle?
NARRATOR: Investigators found that Antoine Suggs arrived at the airport in St. Paul late on the night
of September 9, three days before the bodies were discovered. - The next step for law enforcement
is to try and figure out how and when and why the car got to Dunn County, Wisconsin.
And that's where the technology side of police investigations really ends up helping here.
NARRATOR: Sheriff's deputies in Wisconsin contacted local businesses hoping to find CCTV evidence
of the Black Mercedes. ANDREW JOHNSON: One of the first videos that investigators turned up was from a gas station
in Wheeler, Wisconsin, which is a short drive away from where the vehicle was found.
NARRATOR: One hour before the Mercedes was found in the cornfield, it was filmed
pulling in alongside another vehicle, a black Nissan. COLIN HALEY: There was some interaction
between the person driving the Nissan Rogue and the person driving the Mercedes SUV.
It would appear as though these two people know each other, for lack of a better term,
in cahoots with one another. - This was hugely important because while we couldn't
see the face of the driver of the Mercedes, we could see the face of the person that was with him.
NARRATOR: Investigators visited the gas station. - And local law enforcement did observe what
they believed to be blood. That would be consistent with coming from that Mercedes SUV.
NARRATOR: The video also revealed another disturbing detail. ANDREW JOHNSON: If you look really carefully,
just for a quick split second, you can see Nitosha's body slumped over. - It would seem as though that the person that
was driving the Mercedes SUV and the person that's driving the Nissan Rogue had some sort of a plan
to dispose of these four victims, and then the person driving the SUV would hop into the Nissan Rogue and skedaddle.
- Two of the victims were wearing shirts for Shamrocks, which is a bar in St. Paul.
And there were also receipts in the vehicle for various locations around St. Paul, Minnesota.
[THEME MUSIC] - The area where Shamrocks Bar is, which is where Jasmine and Matthew worked,
is not known to be a high crime area. NARRATOR: Investigators confirmed all four victims were
drinking at Shamrock's Bar. SHEILA LAMBIE: Then we knew they went over to the White Squirrel, which
is another local St Paul bar. What happened after the White Squirrel? Where did they go?
- There was a camera on the firehouse adjacent to the White Squirrel. NARRATOR: In the early hours at 1:23, a black
Mercedes parked outside. Another male then joined the friends in the bar, someone who, it seems, was known to Nitosha.
ANDREW JOHNSON: Investigators talked with a waitress at the White Squirrel that night,
and she said that he ordered a drink and then also ordered a drink for Nitosha. And then he made kind of a crude comment
to the waitress about Nitosha. And the waitress took exception to that, but it was something that caused the waitress
to remember the encounter. NARRATOR: At 3:11, Matthew Pettus was captured outside on another camera
as he approached the Mercedes. COLIN HALEY: There's a bus cam, a metro cam that captures the SUV and Matthew Pettus talking to someone
inside that vehicle. NARRATOR: At 3:29, all four friends left with the driver in the SUV.
- How on Earth you can go from five people at a bar seemingly being OK with each other,
then getting into the same vehicle, and then not long after, four of them being dead.
NARRATOR: Police now enlisted the help of FBI specialists. They were able to use cell phone
data to trace the approximate route the Mercedes took. ANDREW JOHNSON: Investigators put a huge effort
into collecting surveillance video, anything they could from around St. Paul to try to track
the path of this vehicle. SHEILA LAMBIE: We are checking business establishments,
knocking on doors, knocking on any address where they see a camera. NARRATOR: On the way, one camera
recorded compelling evidence. - They found both video and audio from a residence
where you can hear the vehicle going by-- [ENGINE ROARING] --and then you hear a series of five shots.
[GUNSHOTS] And then there's a 13-second delay that's more muffled-- [GUNSHOT] --but it sounds like another shot.
They believe that that was the time that they were killed. - After the group got into that vehicle,
it was a matter of minutes before they were murdered. What happened either earlier in that night,
or in that two or three minutes that they were in that vehicle? ANDREW JOHNSON: After that, then the driver starts
driving around St. Paul. And in particular, we have a video from a residence about a minute after the gunshots.
You can see the vehicle pull up, come to a stop, and then there's a light from inside the vehicle.
Whoever the driver was was checking to make sure that the people were dead. - It feels, at least from this angle, very calm.
It feels very methodical. He's checking that he actually killed them. He isn't jumping out of the car, running to this house,
saying, I need to call somebody. He's not trying to call police. He's not trying to call an ambulance.
He's not abandoning the car. There's no indication, at least from the outside, that he's panicking.
If anything, it seems very calm. NARRATOR: Cell phone data and CCTV continued to track the Mercedes as it
drove around the empty streets of St Paul in the early hours of Sunday morning. - At some point, the Mercedes SUV pulls
into a Holiday gas station. He gets out of the car. He goes inside the convenience store
to get a cigar and maybe something to eat. It's at this point we were able to confirm,
beyond any shadow of a doubt, that it was Antoine Suggs. NARRATOR: The CCTV footage also revealed
more shocking evidence. COLIN HALEY: As plain as day, you can see Nitosha's slumped over a body in the passenger seat.
At that point, we were 100% positive that it's him who was driving the vehicle and who had committed these murders.
- He looks pretty normal, which itself feels shocking given the severity of the actions
that he just committed. In hindsight, it's easy to see this is weird. This is a weird situation, and he
looks way too normal and calm. But at the time for him, he's probably specifically trying to look normal and calm and succeeding.
- After hearing from the police officer about the overwhelming smell of blood that
was coming from the SUV at the time it was found in the cornfield, what must it smelled like with Mr. Suggs in that vehicle
driving around for hours? JULIA SHAW: Why is he driving around with these bodies in the car?
You could overinterpret that and say, well, maybe he's a psychopath. Maybe he was doing it on purpose.
Maybe there was some sort of intent behind driving around for hours. But I think it's more likely to be the case
that he created this situation. He killed these people, and then he didn't really know what to do next.
And so he's basically buying time, which also suggests he didn't have a plan for this going in.
[THEME MUSIC] NARRATOR: At the end of the video, Suggs could be seen gesturing to someone.
Shortly after, cameras picked up the Mercedes as it traveled East towards Wisconsin,
close behind the black Nissan seen earlier in the footage at the gas station in Wheeler.
Investigators identified the driver as Antoine Suggs father, Darren Osborne. Within hours, he was arrested.
ANDREW JOHNSON: Darren Osborne did admit that he was there. He still denied knowing anything about any homicides.
He denied knowing that there were any dead bodies in the vehicle. And he said that he just thought
that this was a drug deal that he was helping his son with. But he talked with his son through the open window
on the passenger side, literally over Nitosha's body. It is really not possible that he could have done that
without seeing at least Nitosha, if not the other people that were in the back. NARRATOR: Faced with the video evidence, Antoine's father
admitted his guilt. - Antoine Suggs eventually makes his way back to Arizona, and we still to this day, don't know
how he got back to Arizona. He didn't fly. And then several days later, after this was on the news,
he turns himself in to the police in Arizona. DAMONE PRESLEY: When I heard he was finally in custody,
I was angry. I don't know him personally, Antoine, but his family knows our family.
What evil possessed this person to do this? JULIA SHAW: I think turning yourself
in when your driver's license was found in the car and there's enough evidence to put you behind bars,
is probably, at this point, an act of trying to get a lesser sentence. I think the question in his mind would have been,
how am I not going to get locked up for life because four people dead, that is definitely
multiple life sentences. I wouldn't read too much into that in terms of remorse or guilt.
NARRATOR: A his trial, Antoine Suggs claimed that the shootings were in self-defense.
- What he said was that he got in the vehicle with this group of people. He only knew Nitosha and didn't even know her very well.
And he said that the people that he got in with were acting kind of strange, and he said
they were talking in code. He actually testified he had a very large amount of cash
in the vehicle, many thousands, and he was getting nervous about it. NARRATOR: During the course of their investigation,
police found one last piece of evidence from surveillance footage at the airport.
- It's just a day or two before the murders where we have a Mr. Suggs in the vehicle in the Mercedes.
And there was a woman that we believe was Nitosha sitting in the front passenger seat.
Mr. Suggs gets out. Actually, before he gets out, he makes a motion as if he had a gun, and then reaches down
and puts it underneath his seat. Then he gets out, goes off camera for a little while,
and then comes back in and drives away. NARRATOR: Police believe this was the gun he
used to kill all four friends. Suggs maintained that Nitosha had taken the gun from where
she'd seen him hide it. - He panicked, and he grabbed the gun away from her and then immediately just started shooting
everybody in the vehicle. And that he said that he feared for his life, and he felt that he had no choice.
That was his story. - The problem with that story is that it just didn't match up with the evidence.
The injuries that were suffered by the four victims were of marksman quality. And the way that their bodies were positioned
was not an aggressive type of posture. But you look at Nitosha in the front seat,
her purse is on her lap. And she slumped over. Jasmine in the back seat with her hand
up to her face in attempt to block a bullet. Loyace was shot twice, once in the front of the head
and once on the top of the head. His hand's resting right in his lap. Matthew Pettus appeared to have been
trying to get out of that car. I think he was probably the last person to have been killed.
And he was trying desperately to get away from those gunshots. - He said that it was all six shots in rapid succession,
and we know from the video that also had the audio of the shots that that's not the way it happened.
[GUNSHOTS] The idea that he just fired six shots in rapid fire, that's just simply not
consistent with the evidence. [THEME MUSIC] - For him to say, my daughter picked up a gun
and held it to him and-- I was angry. ANGELA STURM: I knew that Antoine chose the self-defense because there was
no other defense to choose. It didn't even make me angry, to be honest, because I knew that Antoine
was just grasping at straws. COLIN HALEY: We know by his own admission that Mr. Suggs had been using cocaine,
had been drinking alcohol, and had very little sleep in the days leading up to this.
And so it's not at all inconceivable that whether because of pure exhaustion through alcohol
intoxication, cocaine intoxication, just general mental paranoia, that Mr. Suggs had it in his head
that these four individuals were somehow a threat to him without reason. And he decided he had to kill them all.
[THEME MUSIC] JULIA SHAW: Hostile attribution bias is where you assume that people are behaving in a way
that is hostile towards you. In other words, they're aggressive. There's nothing inherent to cocaine or alcohol that means
you're going to be aggressive. It's more about how it mixes with where you're at as an individual and your personality.
And if you are high, especially if you're taking substances like cocaine, which are known to create paranoia,
then that hostile attribution bias is going to be amplified. And so you might overinterpret people's behaviors
as an attack. NARRATOR: The court was shown every piece of video evidence collected by law enforcement.
- Seeing her body, when he drove around with their bodies for seven hours and she was on so many videos of them just
sitting there at the gas stations, and I think the worst was, though, listening to those gunshots.
- I don't think I cried during those times just because it was so surreal. I sat in trial thinking, they're
talking about my children and Loyace and Tasha, like, these are-- they're sharing stuff
that happened to our children. It was this happens to other people, and we've become the other people.
It was-- it was really hard. [THEME MUSIC] NARRATOR: On May 15, 2023, Antoine Suggs
was convicted on four counts of second degree intentional murder. - He received consecutive sentences on all four counts,
and it turned out to be a total of 1,232 months, which we believe is the longest sentence that anybody has ever
gotten in Ramsey County for something other than first-degree murder. DAMONE PRESLEY: He got exactly what he deserved.
They can give all that back. I just want my daughter back. But the reality is that I have to be satisfied with that.
- His children are going to be without their father now. My brother Matthew and my sister Jasmine
and Loyace and Nitosha, their children will be without their parents. So I am happy that he's gone, but
I'm sad that it's going to affect the lives of so many children. A NARRATOR: Antoine Suggs's father, Darren Osborne,
pled guilty in Minnesota to assisting his son in disposing of the bodies. DAMONE PRESLEY: I'm still like, how can this happen?
Why did this happen? What was the reason for this to happen? It doesn't make sense.
It doesn't make any sense. Years later, oh, no, I'm waiting on her to call me, you know, and just to see her walk through the door, Dad.
It's still something that I struggle with. Unbelievable. - It's been three years, and I'm still thinking
this can't have happened. I still text them, tell them about my day or-- sorry-- or how the kids are doing
or how proud they would be, you know. [CRYING] CHRISTI FLUG: They all had children.
And they were all just getting their lives together, getting their careers together.
And it was just some days, it's still unbelievable that I don't believe that it is really happening.
I just think it's a bad dream, and there was no reason for their lives to be taken.
[THEME MUSIC] NARRATOR: For the loved ones of Nitosha, Loyace, Jasmine, and Matthew, questions will always remain.
- For family members to not know or be given a reason why their loved ones died leaves this gap, which can be filled
with all kinds of guesses. I think this kind of place where you're guessing at why your loved one was killed,
and not ever knowing for sure, leaves you with this space that is really hard to heal.
And it makes it very difficult to get closure from these deaths. NARRATOR: And in the UK, a tragic killing
left another family searching for answers. [THEME MUSIC] In the Northeast of England is Gateshead.
- Gateshead is a large urban area, has a diverse population of students and young people because of a number
of universities in the Newcastle and Gateshead area. [PHONE BEEPING] NARRATOR: The victim was 24-year-old Alice Ruggles.
RICHARD WRIGHT: Alice was from a very close family. She had a number of siblings brought up in very close family
environment in Leicestershire. She'd been at University in the Newcastle area. She completed her studies.
She was really just embarking on the next chapter in her life. NARRATOR: Police and paramedics responded to the address,
but it was too late to save her. That evening at 7:30, Alice was pronounced dead at the scene.
- Alice's body revealed that she had been the subject of a sustained attack with a sharp implement, a knife.
There were a number of injuries, predominantly around her face and neck. She had injuries to her nose, to her scalp.
But the most significant injury, the injury that killed her was a massive injury to her neck.
The blade of a knife had been drawn across her neck probably five or six times. MICHELLE THURGOOD: Detectives attending
this scene ascertained that no forced entry had taken place. So that tends to suggest that either Alice knew
who was responsible for killing her, as in she let them into the premises, or that they were already in the premises.
[THEME MUSIC] What detectives will be looking at is there any CCTV footage that gives an idea of,
did Alice come home alone? NARRATOR: Police quickly found footage of Alice as she left work that evening.
She was accompanied by a man. - Detectives were able to ascertain that the last person
to see Alice alive was her work colleague, who in fact had given her a lift home from work and sights
they dropped you off outside her home address. Dashcam footage shows her exiting his vehicle,
her going into the address, and then him driving away. This is really important because it
means that he is the last person to see Alice alive. NARRATOR: The dash cam proved Alice arrived
home just after 5:30 PM. At 6:34, her roommate found her dead. But during the emergency call, her roommate
suggested to police another line of inquiry. RICHARD WRIGHT: Alice's ex-boyfriend friend
was Trimaan Dhillon. He was known as Harry. He was the Lance Corporal in the British Army
based in Scotland. They were met on social media and very quickly developed an intense relationship without having
physically met each other. And the intensity of the online relationship was then mirrored by their relationship
when they were together. NARRATOR: But things quickly went downhill. RICHARD WRIGHT: Harry Dhillon was
seeking to completely dominate Alice and to control her. He would tell her that her friends were bad for her,
and that meant that she would distance herself from her friends in order to spend more time with him
and to please him. There was a similar effect with her family, and this was all about trying to isolate Alice,
and having isolated her, control her. NARRATOR: Alice's case was examined by clinical psychologist doctor Roberta Babb.
- Part of being in a coercive relationship is that it's shrouded in secrecy. This is because the individual has experienced
emotional manipulation. They've been slowly and strategically isolated from their friends, their family,
their sources of support. Their self-esteem, and their self-worth have been eroded,
so it can be difficult to take that first step. RICHARD WRIGHT: The relationship
ended essentially because Harry Dhillon was serially unfaithful. And so whilst on the one hand, he
was telling her that she couldn't see anybody else and could only spend time with him,
he was meeting other women for casual sex. And when Alice discovered some of his behavior,
that led to the breakdown and ended the relationship. NARRATOR: Alice told Harry she didn't want to see him anymore.
- But it became clear that he was not willing to take no for an answer. Essentially, only he would decide when it was over.
NARRATOR: Alice asked Harry to leave her alone. Instead, he began to ramp up his obsessive behavior.
- What began as not accepting the relationship was over very quickly turned into some quite sinister behavior,
constant messaging, constant phone calls. He seemed to know what she was doing before she was going to do it.
And so she was convinced that he had access to her social media. He was reading her messages.
ROBERTA BABB: We know that Harry wanted to know more and more where Alice was and what she was doing,
and one way that he did this was to hack into her social media accounts. This is quite an extreme action.
It highlights a level of entitlement to information that doesn't belong to him. There's also a sense of wanting to assert dominance and
power and control, and also communicate to Alice that no matter what she does, he will always be there.
He will always be watching, and she can't hide from him. NARRATOR: CCTV revealed that Harry's car
was seen around Alice's apartment in the days before her murder. It meant he was driving down from Scotland in order
to keep her under observation. - I think the real turning point for Alice was when one evening she was alone in her flat,
and she thought she heard somebody outside. She drew back the curtains of her bedroom,
and Harry Dhillon was standing outside her flat in the darkness. And he backed away from the window, hands up, as if to say,
he wasn't going to hurt her and left the area. NARRATOR: He'd left her flowers and chocolates.
- That was extremely distressing for Alice. And that's what caused her to call the police.
- The giving of gifts, turning up uninvited or announced are key hallmarks of stalking behavior.
The aim is to invade the person's privacy, to destabilize their sense of security and safety,
and evoke feelings of anxiety, fear, and intimidation. NARRATOR: As a result of her call,
Dhillon was issued with a police information notice, warning him to ceasefire all contact with her.
But just a few days later, Alice received a package containing a handwritten letter from Dhillon,
photographs, and a notebook. Once again, Alice was forced to call the police. RICHARD WRIGHT: Alice took sensible precautions.
She restricted Harry Dylan's ability to contact her on social media. She took steps to make sure she was
given a lift to and from work. She didn't like to be alone in the flat. She would make sure that the door was locked.
She took all sensible steps. NARRATOR: The police knew Harry Dhillon was stationed at a military base just South of Edinburgh.
They checked his car registration against ANPR camera records. - ANPR is automatic number plate recognition.
If we have a registration number that's of interest to us, it allows us to do enquiries to ascertain
where that vehicle has been. NARRATOR: The ANPR data showed he'd driven from Scotland to Gateshead
on the day of the murder. He was captured by CCTV at a gas station en route. And so, just hours after Alice's death, Dhillon
was arrested and brought back to Gateshead, where he was interviewed. - One of the things I noticed about this video
is that when Harry's been asked direct, closed questions, he's in a very formal position.
He answers the questions quickly, quite assertively, and with confidence, and he says no.
But NARRATOR: Dhillon did admit to visiting Alice on the day she was killed. - His body language changed.
It becomes less formal, which may indicate a sign of nervousness or uncertainty because he's no longer having to answer direct questions.
He's now having to construct a narrative. NARRATOR: He then gave his account of what he claimed
was their last interaction. MICHELLE THURGOOD: In that interview, he attempts to account for the fact
that he has some injuries by saying that some sort of altercation did happen between them.
It's clearly a clever way of being able to give reason and rationale for why Alice's DNA might
be found within those injuries or on his hands. NARRATOR: Detectives searching for CCTV uncovered
footage from cameras in the street close to Alice's apartment. Earlier on the day of her murder,
Dhillon's car was outside. - This not only puts him at the location, but also supports the element of stalking.
It was he sat there watching, you her movements, her comings and goings, who she was with.
NARRATOR: Around the same time, Alice was messaging a friend. CCTV then caught Dhillon's car leaving the area 24 minutes
after Alice's final message. Nine minutes later, Alice's roommate called 999. Digital records showed exactly where Alice's phone went.
It connected with a mast near Newcastle airport at 6:39 PM. MICHELLE THURGOOD: The fact that Alice's phone was moving
after the time that we believe she was attacked suggests it's in the hands of whoever
was responsible for her death. This is the route that police know Harry took home.
This is all damning evidence that points the finger directly at Trimaan Harry Dhillon.
NARRATOR: Armed with this information, police interviewed Dhillon for a second time.
- What we notice here is that when the police confront Harry and let him know that they
have evidence that links him to the crime, Harry changes. His whole demeanor changes.
He's no longer chatty. He's no longer forthcoming with personal information. He essentially goes to no comment.
And this can be an attempt to stonewall the conversation and the investigation because it feels like an act
of self-preservation. He doesn't want to say anything that can incriminate himself further.
NARRATOR: In the following days, Alice's blood was found on a wristband that Dhillon had been wearing.
More of Alice's blood was found on the steering wheel of his car. When his case went to trial at Newcastle Crown Court,
Harry Dhillon pleaded not guilty. But after hearing two weeks of evidence, the jury came to a verdict.
- On May 26 of April, 2017, Harry Dhillon was sentenced to life imprisonment with a minimum term of 22 years.
He had been previously in a number of relationships in which he had exhibited coercive and controlling
behavior over his partners, in which he had subjected them to domestic violence, in which he had engaged
in stalking-type behavior, and he had actually previously been the subject of a restraining order.
ROBERTA BABB: This is a tragic case. It feels like there were lots of opportunities where things
could have been done differently, and Alice's death could have been prevented. It also highlights the seriousness
of stalking, the fact that coercive behaviors can quickly escalate into stalking behaviors, which
in turn can escalate into violent behaviors, which culminate in death. RICHARD WRIGHT: The death of Alice Ruggles
was clearly a tragedy. Alice was a young woman, full of potential with her whole life in front of her.
And it was a death that devastated all of her friends and family, and continues to do so and always will.
