Episode 122 Aubrey and Denise Duncan
In the early morning hours of January 29th, 1977, gunshots rang out at the home of the Duncan family of 925 South Velare St in Anaheim, CA. The Duncan family had enjoyed a peaceful family life in Orange County up until that time, but two young ruthless criminals in the midst of a crime spree found themselves at the home targeting the family's Patriarch, 48 year old Aubrey Duncan. He was ambushed as he tried to enter his home. Aubrey's wife Nadine tried to come to her husband's defense and was also shot in the entrance way to her home, as was the couple's oldest daughter, 18 year old Denise Duncan. When the gunshots were finally over and the attackers had fled, Aubrey and Denise were dead, and Nadine was hospitalized due to her injuries.
Police eventually caught up with and apprehended the two young killers, and they were sent to prison for life. But due to their young ages at the time they committed the crimes, and to California law, life behind bards didn't necessarily mean life.
The tragic murders tore the Duncan family apart, and the surviving family members dealt with PTSD and trauma that lasted the rest of their lives. Many years later, the Duncan's oldest surviving daughter, Lynette, was shocked to find out that the people who had murdered her father and sister, as well as two other people decades before, might actually one day get out of prison. She has become an advocate for not only her family, but for keeping very dangerous and cold blooded killers like the ones that took her dad and sister from her, in prison where they belong. Lynette discusses the tragic events of that morning in 1977, and how the family's path was forver altered. She also discusses dealing with PTSD, and becoming an advocate
