Dear Zachary: a Letter to a Son About His Father

Dear Zachary: a Letter to a Son About His Father

On November 5, 2001, Dr. Andrew Bagby was murdered; the prime suspect, his ex-girlfriend Dr. Shirley Turner, promptly fled the U. S. for Canada, where she announced that she was pregnant with Andrew's child. She named the little boy Zachary. Filmmaker Kurt Kuenne, Andrew's oldest friend, began making a film for little Zachary as a way for him to get to know the father he'd never meet. But when Shirley Turner was released on bail in Canada and was given custody of Zachary while awaiting extradition to the U. S., the film's focus shifted to Zachary's grandparents, David & Kathleen Bagby, and their desperate efforts to win custody of the boy from the woman they knew had murdered their son.
