Hey Murder in Illinois listeners, it's Lauren Bright Pacheco.

Murder in Illinois was released three years ago and it remains my most polarizing investigation.

Christopher Vaughn was sentenced in 2012 to four consecutive life sentences for the 2007

shooting deaths of his wife and three children. While I interviewed

Vaughn extensively for the podcast, he has never shared what happened

the day he lost his entire family in his own voice.

Until now, Chris recently sat down with Jason Flom for an episode of the podcast Wrongful Conviction.

After I parked the truck, I asked her, you know, is she still feeling bad? She needs a few minutes and she really just didn't say much of anything.

So I opted to give her a few minutes.

I went ahead and jumped out.

The kids were asleep in the back and I went around and just did miscellaneous things,

checked the luggage rack, looked at the tires and that's when I heard just a horrendous racket and I was heading for my door to get in and find out what was going on.

And I pulled the door open and I was looking, looking at Kim holding the gun and she looked at me and she said you won't take my kids away from me she says she says you killed them and then she starts firing a gun at me. And I was tumbling backward and trying to come forward

and not making much progress doing anything.

And that's when she turned the gun on herself.

To hear the rest of that exclusive interview,

head over to wrongful conviction with Jason Flom,

episode 470, and look for more updates on Christopher Vaughn here very soon.
