But at about 7:00 that morning, Deb's phone rang.

My ex-husband, who I hadn't talked to in, I don't know, six or seven years, phoned, sobbing, and he had said, "Hey, there's been a robbery.

Tara's dead." And as he said that, I turned the TV on, and there's Tara on the TV because he had released her name to the press.

So they had a picture and her name, as I'm being told, because the Lethbridge Police hadn't got to us yet.

So we went to the police station in Lethbridge, and, uh, I walked up to the front desk, and they, they had been notified, and they had said, "Oh, I'm sorry, Deb.

We were just putting a few things together for you." I says, "Don't worry about it, I already know," and we left and came to Calgary.

Deb drove to the sandwich shop, where she met with Calgary Police homicide detectives.

They had just said that, that she was working alone, and they hadn't caught the person yet, but they had some leads, and that two young boys had, had tried to save her.
