Freddie E Boorigie Jr.
He's 60 now, but he was only 42 when he committedd this heinous crime; and he was a very good-looking man back then. Spoiled rotten kid who had repeatedly gotten by with one crime after another (arson fraud, as was brought out at trial).
A few more personal details about Freddie and this incident.
He had grown up the only son of a good family near my other sister's farm and had become one of my nephew's best buddies. Over the years, he attended many Thanksgiving and other dinners with our extended family. He was only a bit younger, and was also an occasional friend of my ex.
The first day of trial, when I walked into the large waiting area outside the courtroom, the first person I saw was the state fire marshal. I approached and asked if he remembered me. He replied, "kanzz, every day since this happened all I've been able to think is that this could have been you." As we hugged and tears rolled down my cheeks, I felt much validation.
See, on August 8, 1991, 7 years before Freddie E Boorigie Jr. killed Jenell Boorigie, my ex torched my home after beating the bed with a golf club (he obviously thought I was in bed asleep because I had placed pillows there to appear so). Brief background: We had divorced 2 months earlier and he had called my home approx 84 times that night. I'd never executed my order of protection before, but I called LE and my brother, and both came and insisted that I leave the house. Approx 3 hours later, dispatch called my brother's house and said my house was on fire. Arrested for arson and attempted murder, but not convicted. Money talks. He had connections.
And now you know more about me than I had ever planned to reveal. Apologies for being OT.
