The 14-year-old boy accused of killing Alana stood by and watched as her sister tried to save her life. She had been shot with her father's 9 mm semiautomatic pistol. Her mother said the unloaded gun was tucked away in her bedroom and that Schmidt would have had to rifle through her room to find it.
About 3:15 p.m. Monday, 18-year-old Amanda Calahan picked up Alana from the bus stop at the end of the family's half-milelong driveway. She dropped Alana off at home and went back to pick up her younger brother, who rode a later bus. "She was only gone five or 10 minutes," Betty Jo Calahan said. "When they got back, they went into the house and saw the mess."
Alana had been shot from behind as she sat at a computer in the dining room, then dragged outside, across the backyard and into the woods. The 1st story Aaron Schmidt told police was that he had chased away an intruder and found her lying in the woods behind her home.
"I treated that boy like he was one of my own," Calahan said, adding that Schmidt spent many afternoons at her home riding four-wheelers or hanging out with Alana. He often ate dinner at the Calahans' table.
