Judging by the amount of people interviewed, there was nobody he came in contact with whom he didn't leave a fantastic impression. Except the one person who took it all away.

Andrew was a student at a medical school in Newfoundland when he met Shirley. 12 years his senior, they began dating and it caught many of his friends off guard. They found her to be vulgar and crass. When Andrew began seeing the things his friends saw, he called it off. By this time he was performing his residency in Pennsylvania, and she was visiting from her new location of Iowa. He sent her on the plane back to Iowa, only to find that she returned a few days later. When she returned, Andrew was killed.

Shirley made her way back to Iowa while a coworker of Andrew's immediately pointed the police in her direction. As she talked with the police and concocted story after story, evidence began piling up. During this time, she headed home to Newfoundland, where extradition hearings would be moved and changed and piled on top of each other. It was announced that Shirley was pregnant with Andrew's child. When Zachary was born, it was immediately apparent that he was the spitting image of Andrew. His parents wanted custody and were given custody by Shirley when she was put in jail awaiting trial. The hoops they were required to jump through for her were absurd.

What follows in this documentary is raw and evocative. I don't know anybody who didn't just break down at least twice viewing this. The tragedies that amass for the family and friends of Dr. Bagby are heartbreaking and couldn't have happened to a less deserving family. Their strength and determination amazes me.
