So many memories on all of these videos.
This guy was born to be a dad.
He just brought so much joy and laughter to the kids.
He was so proud of his family being a husband and a father.
He wanted to do all these big dreams
and we were all going to do it together.
[sirens wailing]
Deep down, I knew something had to be wrong.
Murders like this don't happen here.
[tense music playing]
[narrator] It's September 1983 in Salt Lake City, Utah.
28 year old Terri Harmon
takes her 10 month old daughter Ashlee, for her first swim.
Ashley's dad, 29 year old Jon Harmon,
captures the special moment.
[Jon] This was Ashley's first entry into a pool.
You can see mom's reaction in the water,
she's just full of joy watching her little girl.
[baby babbling]
Terri was a very good mother,
a nurturing, loving mother.
I was always the picture taker, the movie taker,
and my kids loved doing things that I could video.
Ashlee is the youngest member of the Harmon family.
She has two older brothers, three year old Jeff
and four year old Josh.
We had kind of an instant family,
we'd been married one year when my first son was born,
so they were, they were really close in age.
And, you know, you have a combination of chaos
with love and joy and happiness.
Ashlee was a Daddy's girl.
She was the first daughter.
We were very close when she was growing up.
To feel that deep love, there's nothing like it as a parent.
[narrator] Jon works long hours selling real estate.
He wants a more lucrative career
now that he has three mouths to feed.
I started my schooling before I got married.
I got kind of, in my mind, a little sidetracked
for about eight years
and I decided to go back and finish what I started.
I applied to Los Angeles Chiropractic College
and was accepted in September of 1986.
[narrator] Jon moves the family to Southern California
to continue his studies.
My wife took on child care,
so she watched the kids in our little tiny apartment
while I went to school.
My mom was, I guess you could say,
the perfect mom, she was always home,
and when she wasn't, if she had a job,
it was jobs like daycare where she could take us with her.
I know we were dirt poor, but I don't remember
ever having that be an issue.
Like we just lived life and had a good time.
♪ A light to show me how to be like Jesus ♪
My brother Josh was was more of a protector.
And my brother Jeff and I, we just always were clashing.
And we'd pretty much find any reason to...
to pick a fight with each other.
It was, it was actually quite hilarious.
[Jon] There's Ashlee with, with the microphone.
She's in charge. [laughs]
And they're playing air drums.
That was the typical interaction between Jeff and Ashlee.
And we don't even laugh!
Jon and Terri belong to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints.
We went to church regularly.
The kids were involved in youth things,
teaching them morals and values
and family togetherness.
That was a big part of our lives there.
I started chiropractic college with three children,
and then we had two more while I was there
at school in Southern California.
So it's pretty intense, it's not for the faint of heart,
that's for sure.
Abbey was born about a month before my fifth birthday
and two years after Abbey was born
then Ali came into our home.
I hated the feeling of ever being alone as a child.
I really loved having my siblings
just surrounding me all the time.
[Jon] Ashlee was like a second mother to her little sisters.
She really has motherly instincts
and did from a very, very small girl.
I loved having little sisters, they brought me so much joy.
[narrator] In August 1990, the Harmon family
moved 900 miles north to Boise, Idaho.
[Jon] We decided we didn't want to
raise our children in Southern California.
Boise was just so, so different. It was a small town.
[Ashlee] We moved to Boise for my dad
to set up a chiropractic office
and we were just starting a new life really.
It was just exciting to not have him be studying
when he came home and he could just go to work
and come home and enjoy the night.
But behind the scenes, Jon and Terri are struggling.
There were a lot of responsibilities for both of us,
and I would say it didn't make for
a lot of time that we had together.
She put a lot of time into the kids
and I put a lot of time into school
and maybe not so much into each other.
[narrator] The couple divorce in 1992 after 15 years of marriage.
Ashlee is nine years old.
And it was really just kind of like a shock.
I had no idea that it was coming.
I started to look at things differently,
just looking at the world like, oh, it's not perfect.
We're not living in a perfect place.
We're not a perfect family.
[narrator] The boys stay with their dad in Boise.
The girls moved with their mom to Twin Falls, Idaho,
130 miles away.
So we would go every other weekend
to his house and my parents would meet halfway.
And it kind of just became what we did.
After a while, it wasn't hard or unusual.
It was just our new reality.
My sisters and I were the constant in each other's life
and a lot of ways I probably was a second mom to them
and once we grew up a little bit,
it was like we were all just best friends.
Me and my sisters always turned
every moment into an opportunity
to either practice back handsprings
or make up a dance and perform it.
[narrator] In 1996, Dad Jon films Ashlee as she performs
in her local dance troupe, Razzamatazz.
[Ashlee] I loved dancing, I loved performing.
I did track and cheerleading and really loved
the roles I got to play in the junior high there.
I had a lot of friends and I was really part of the school.
She got on the cheerleading squad
and the next year was named
head cheerleader in Twin Falls, Idaho.
That brought her a lot of satisfaction
and confidence, I would say.
[narrator] Mom Terri remarries in 1997.
Ashlee and her sisters
move for the third time in seven years.
Terri got remarried and they moved down
to way down in southern Utah in St. George.
And so Ashlee started over there again, insecure,
new school, but then got on the cheerleading squad.
[Ashlee] Moving made me more of a well-rounded person.
I was more excited to feel like we had a whole family
and my mom had her partner than I was to stay
and be the head cheerleader.
We got to, I guess,
move forward as a family into another stage.
And I kind of walked around with that belief,
like, I've already gone through the hard stuff.
So now it's my time to shine.
[narrator] It's 2003.
20 year old Ashlee Harmon is now a freshman
at Utah State University.
I started out studying photography,
then it kind of just turned into child development.
I got there not knowing any of my roommates
and just kind of threw myself into school.
It was actually a really cool experience
to kind of just be on my own for the first time.
I worked at the school gym, and one day
a coworker came upstairs and he had
this big stack of towels and he was like,
"Hey, I mainly just came here to tell you,"
"meet me down in the weight room in five minutes."
I'm like, "Oh, no, what are you doing?"
Anyway, so I decided to go meet him.
And as soon as I did, he introduced me to Emmett
and he said "This is my friend Emmett."
"I think you two should go out."
[narrator] Emmett Corrigan is a confident 23 year old medical student.
Pretty much the moment I saw him, I was like,
oh my gosh, I had butterflies,
like all the things they say in movies.
And I'm like, that doesn't really happen.
It happened in that moment.
I just couldn't take my eyes off him.
[narrator] Emmett grew up in Boise, Idaho.
He is a recent convert to the Mormon faith.
He wasn't raised in the IDS church,
but he had found it on his own.
He really clung to the teachings of,
of family and community and, and building yourself
to become a stronger person.
Faith and family have always been
kind of the foundation for everything I do.
And so we had that in common.
Once Emmett and I started dating,
I was all in, I felt like we just,
we just connected and we had this chemistry
and I just loved being with him.
He was so charismatic
and he was so excited about life.
[narrator] Emmett proposes four months into their whirlwind romance.
And he got down on one knee and he asked me to marry him
and there was no doubt in my mind
that that's exactly what I wanted to do.
I wanted to get married. I wanted to have babies.
I didn't really care about becoming much more than a mom.
That was my dream.
[Jon] Ashlee was ecstatic.
She was in love with him and she was so happy
to find somebody to spend her life with.
We were married March 6th of 2004
in the Mount Timpanogos Temple in Highland, Utah.
I just remember feeling like a princess,
everything I ever dreamed of my wedding to be, it was.
Okay!
[Jon] Watching Ashlee get married,
I had a lot of mixed emotions.
I'm losing the little girl, but then look forward
to watching her grow and have a family.
And they provided me with that really quickly.
[laughs]
Ashlee and Emmett welcome two new additions
to their household just a year after the wedding.
Twin girls, Bostyn and Bailey.
Bailey was out first and they handed her to me,
and Emmett and I looked at each other
and we both just started weeping.
I've never seen a more proud father.
We have this guaranteed non-only-child family.
We're going to have at least these two babies.
[baby babbling]
Emmett was a very hands on father.
He wanted to be part of everything.
I remember Emmett just being like,
this is the best, like this is my dream life.
This is what I always wanted.
Emmett loved to lay in bed with us and just talk to them.
So hard to remember
all of these moments.
[narrator] Two years pass, it's now August 2007.
When Teague was born, I remember the beam
on Emmett's face was different
and it was like he couldn't even fathom everything.
He had these two daughters and now he had a son.
[narrator] The family has moved west to help Emmett
pursue his next career move.
[Ashlee] When Teague was like, five months old I think,
we moved to Spokane, Washington.
My parents had a ranch, so we lived there
for Emmett to attend Gonzaga Law School.
He had decided he wanted to become an attorney,
but his commute was like, an hour.
And I know it took a toll on him. He was tired.
He was working hard and he was studying a lot.
And he didn't get to be the hands on dad
that he had been as much during law school.
It was hard leaving family and friends
and definitely a lot more of the child raising
fell upon me.
[squealing]
[Jon] Having so many kids, it brings a lot of joy,
but it is a big responsibility
and unless you're really, really good at juggling,
it puts a strain on the marriage
because you don't get very much alone time.
[Ashlee] Emmett was really busy.
So the time that he actually got to spend with the kids
and with me was the best.
[singing "Jingle Bells"]
We had a blast during the winter
in those cold, very snowy times.
Any time Emmett could be crazy with the kids, he was enjoying himself.
Some of the first memories when I think of my dad
and our childhood, I think a lot about
going outdoors, sledding.
I remember always, kind of, feeling safe in his arms.
I remember like, him putting me on his lap
and we just go down the hills as fast as we could.
[narrator] Emmett finishes law school in November 2009.
And the couple have recently welcomed fourth child Khalia.
When Emmett was finally through law school, it was such a relief.
He had a job lined up and was ready to jump
right into work while he studied for the bar.
It was nice to know we were gonna have income
instead of spending money
and having to get loans to live off of.
[narrator] Emmett's new job
is at a bankruptcy law firm in Boise, Idaho.
It felt nice that we had a job and we were in a place
that we could buy a home and
start a foundation of our future.
Everything was just going in the direction
that we had always planned.
We moved to Boise, we bought our first home
and everything felt like we were kind of finally free
from the heavy that is law school.
Emmett worked at a bankruptcy office,
while he was doing his externship
at the public defender and studying for the bar.
[Kelly] Emmett was a stellar attorney.
He was young, he was intelligent,
he was driven, he was doing great things.
Clients loved him.
Other attorneys loved him.
I have never seen an attorney with a drive like his before.
[Ashlee] Emmett had just passed the bar
and finished up with the public defender's office
for his externship, and I found out
I was pregnant and not long after that,
he started talking about maybe starting his own practice
on top of doing the bankruptcy.
[narrator] Emmett's boss allows Emmett to run his
new criminal law firm from the office in Boise.
He wanted to supplement his income
and just do a few criminal cases.
He was doing all of the documents in preparation
and everything on his own, and eventually,
Emmett needed additional help.
He had asked me if I knew anyone
that did criminal work.
I did know someone, that was Candy Hall.
[narrator] Candy is a 40 year old mother with two teenage daughters.
Her husband, 42 year old Rob Hall,
is a consultant computer technician
for the Ada County Sheriff's Office.
Candy was a very established,
very successful criminal paralegal.
I set up the lunch just to give Emmett
some network, some connections,
be able to have him to be able to reach out
to Candy if he needed any help
in the future with criminal cases.
Candy was always a very good worker.
She always hustled,
she always got really good cases.
Emmett hired Candy in early November 2010,
and they started working on criminal cases.
They were there quite a bit together
in and out of the office.
But when you work the kind of work that we do,
that isn't necessarily out of the ordinary.
[narrator] Emmett's long hours take their toll on pregnant Ashlee.
Emmett was just different.
He was always too busy.
I would go to my appointments alone
and any time I mentioned it, which was very few times,
Emmett would get really defensive,
like "I'm trying to do this for us."
"I'm trying to build this, I'm trying to do this, but it's for us."
One day I went to a doctor's appointment
and decided to stop by Emmett's office
and hopefully go to lunch or something.
And everything was weird.
Emmett looked at me like I was a ghost.
His own wife walking into his office.
I met Candy for the first time that day.
She had on a miniskirt and some really tall boots.
And for a split second, my mind was like,
"Wait, what if?" I was like, "No, I'm 28 years old.
I have his children.
She's like 40 years old. There is no way."
[narrator] In January 2011,
Ashlee gives birth to her fifth child, Titus.
Emmett showed up with me at the hospital
when Titus was born and he was in the room,
but he wasn't really there.
He literally was just on his phone.
I could feel him slipping away.
And yet I had no answers as to why
or what I could do about it.
[narrator] Emmett appears distracted at work, too.
I saw that Emmett and Candy were very close.
Um, joking, laughing, sometimes flirting.
But in an office setting, sometimes that does happen.
I just blew it off and thought, okay, whatever,
and went about my business.
I woke up, it was a Friday, it was March 11th of 2011,
and I had more determination running through my body
than I had ever had in my life.
And I said, I am fixing this for my children.
I'm fixing my marriage.
I'm fixing that their dad is never home.
Today it changes.
I decided to go to the store that day
and I bought all these meals to prepare for him
like his favorite food.
And I pictured him just walking in
and like, "Oh, my gosh, my family loves me."
Look at these beautiful children.
Look at this wife who spent the whole day
thinking about me and what I love.
That's what I pictured.
And instead, he walked in late.
The food was cold. The kids were tired.
He wouldn't kiss me as he brushed past me.
I tried to kiss him and he moved his head away.
Emmett said "I already ate,
so I don't want any of your food."
Then he got a call and went to the back room.
After a phone call, he was like,
"Hey, I'm gonna, I'm gonna go run to Walgreens real quick."
I looked into his eyes and I'm like, please, tonight.
Just stay here. Let's work this out.
And he just dismissed me and said,
"You know what? I'm going. Don't tell me what to do."
[phone ringing]
Dispatch received a 911 call
and that we had shots fired
at the Walgreens in Meridian.
[narrator] One minute later, another 911 call.
[woman screaming]
An officer arrives on scene.
He turns on his audio recorder.
[Laetitia] When patrol arrives on scene,
there's two males that are on the ground.
One seems to be responsive.
The other is non-responsive at that time.
One male is bleeding profusely from a head wound.
The other male has two gunshot wounds,
one to his chest, one to his head.
The female party on scene there
was identified as Candy Hall.
Her husband was also there, Rob Hall.
And then her boss, Emmett Corrigan.
Emmett was shot and killed.
Rob Hall was transported quickly to the hospital.
And his wife, Candy Hall, had been transported
to the Meridian Police Department to be interviewed.
We want to know what's actually happened,
what's the actual relationship between everyone
to be here and having a deceased person
and someone fighting for their lives?
[narrator] Investigators recover three spent shell casings
from the parking lot.
They find the handgun that fired them 50 feet away
from where the two men were shot.
[Laetitia] So at this point, we are trying to see
if there's any other witnesses.
We're looking at other avenues of how we can figure out
what happened, including the CCTV from the pharmacy
that had cameras on the outside.
Once Rob was at the hospital and conscious,
the detectives tried to talk to him.
We find out that Candy's daughter
actually drove by the pharmacy and saw Candy's car
and then calls Rob because she thinks it's odd
that her mom's car is empty at the pharmacy that late at night.
[narrator] It's unclear from Rob's account
who shot first and why.
[Laetitia] Rob was not very communicative at all.
He did answer a couple of questions,
but not very much in detail.
And so we're hoping Candy is the one
who is going to give us the information we need.
So in talking with Candy, we find out
that she had this fight with Rob
earlier in the evening, Rob left the house
and Candy says that she texted Emmett
and they end up meeting at the pharmacy.
[narrator] Video surveillance confirms
that Candy arrived at the pharmacy at 9:10PM.
Emmett is waiting for her.
She just says that they get together
and they talk about life and their marital problems.
[phone buzzing]
[narrator] Candy receives a call from Rob a short while later.
[narrator] Rob tells Candy that he'll wait for them
in the pharmacy parking lot.
He initially parks next to Candy, facing the building
and walks into the pharmacy.
He's not looking at things on the shelves,
he's a man on a mission looking for his wife.
[Laetitia] After walking through the pharmacy
and not seeing Candy, he returns to his vehicle.
Then at this point, we see him back into the space,
essentially facing the entrance to the parking lot
so he could see Emmett and Candy arriving at the pharmacy.
[narrator] Emmett and Candy return to the parking lot around 10pm.
And so the whole time Candy describes this as
there was no physical confrontation,
there was no pushing, there was no shoving,
she said there was nothing.
[narrator] It's now that Candy sees the gun.
That's where we ended and I--
So as we're talking with Candy and finding out
about her relationship with Emmett,
her relationship with Robert and Robert not liking Emmett,
it's really making us feel stronger and stronger
that there is a love triangle there.
At this point, as a detective, you just can't help but think
there's more and she's just not telling us what it is.
I was not prepared to have detectives
tell me of a new life that I was
gonna have to live even more alone.
When they told me Emmett was gone,
it was a, it was a wave of a lot of emotions
for me in that moment.
That was my, my, the love of my life.
I devoted my life to him.
He's gone. He's not coming home tonight.
He's not singing your babies a song tonight.
And I think the hardest part wasn't just that I no longer
had a marriage to fight for.
I no longer had a husband to try to show love to.
But my kids no longer had a dad.
[narrator] Police interview Emmett's colleague Kelly Riker
about Emmett's relationship with Candy.
They ask me everything that I knew
about what had been going on.
I found out that February of 2011,
Emmett asked me to come in his office.
He was sitting at his desk.
Candy was behind him and he said,
I have something to tell you. And I said, What is that?
Emmett said, "We're together."
And I said, "Excuse me?"
And he goes, "We've been seeing each other for a while now."
And I got up and walked out.
I was very angry with both of them.
[narrator] Candy later admits to the affair in a statement to police.
Everything made sense.
For the first time, I didn't feel like a crazy person
searching for a puzzle piece that was lost in the puzzle.
It does make you wonder why was Candy
not honest from the very beginning?
Is she ashamed of it?
Is she worried that she has
some type of culpability in this?
At this point, we do feel pretty comfortable
with this being a love triangle.
We do think that Rob met with Emmett and Candy
at the pharmacy upset knowing that they had been together.
The pressure is high to now find the physical evidence
to support our theory.
We found emails in Rob's truck
that were printed and those were emails
between Candy and Emmett
in which they discussed their relationship.
And it was pretty obvious from those emails
that they were having an affair.
We do think that Rob is at this point upset,
he's mad because his wife is with another man
who she's been denying having an affair with for, for weeks, months.
And so we do think that he goes there with intentions.
He has his gun with him
and he is waiting for them
to get back in that parking lot.
[narrator] Chemical analysis proves who pulled the trigger.
The lab firmly believed that the gunshot residue testing
was telling them that Mr. Hall was the only one
who fired a gun at that scene that night.
It was clear that Mr. Hall had shot Mr. Corrigan twice
and then turned the gun on himself.
[gunshot]
[narrator] It's possible that Rob wanted to kill himself.
It's also possible he wanted a wound
that would support a claim of self-defense.
Robert was charged with first degree murder
based on the fact that we thought
that this was premeditated.
We strongly believe that Robert went to the pharmacy
that night with the intent to kill Emmett.
[narrator] In court, Rob maintains that Emmett shot him first.
The analysis told us in this case
was that that the barrel of that gun
was two to three feet away from Mr. Corrigan's chest when it was fired.
This isn't an intimate struggle over a gun.
This was aimed fire and intentional fire.
The self-defense claim in this case,
made at trial, clearly didn't
didn't hold any water with the jury.
But there wasn't enough information there
to convince the jury that was premeditated.
On October 25th, 2012, Rob Hall was found guilty
of second degree murder.
[narrator] The judge sentences Rob to 30 years in prison.
He took a man's life who was the father of five children.
He let rage and jealousy overcome him
and turned into a monster.
Candy was very upset and hurt that Emmett had died.
She could have stopped the affair at any time.
She's the one that had both men
being played against each other.
[narrator] Police do not charge Candy with any crimes
in relation to Emmett's death.
Grief is very complex when you lose somebody,
but as a mother...
[sniffs]
As a mother, watching my babies go through that,
like, it would have been easier
just to have died myself than to watch that.
[whistles] Hi!
My dad dying made me a lot more protective
of my siblings because I don't want them to hurt
and I don't want them to feel the pain of it.
That whole time?
Every time one of us leaves a room,
we say goodbye, I love you.
And it really makes sure that we ended on a happy note
because there's always that fear
in the back of our minds that they may not come back
once they walk out that door.
[water splashing]
He was an amazing person, he was a friend,
he was a father, he was a husband.
I don't want his kids to ever view him
just in the light of his final moments.
[laughing]
I tried to help them remember the good,
so they'll remember the good in themselves.
