14. "Authorities did not immediately suspect foul play"

Authorities did not immediately suspect foul play because there reportedly wasn’t any blood found in the home or obvious injuries to the victim’s body.

But by the time Settle’s father had picked up his daughter from school and returned home, he was informed that his wife had died.

After Settle’s mother had been pronounced dead, a nurse inspected the body and found what appeared to be puncture wounds.

Judd said the victim had been shot in the heart, stopping it immediately and staunching the flow of blood.

Settle fled but later confessed to investigators that he had shot his mother.
