Leaving her parents and young children to wait, Amy stepped from the car onto her driveway. Minutes later, her husband, walking alone from the house calmly said “Somebody call 911. I just shot Amy.” Detective Deirdri Fishel took it personally. In a town ranked as the safest in the nation, domestic violence calls averaged over 250 a year. Starting with Amy’s death, Detective Fishel reconstructed Amy’s life, working backwards until she had a timeline leading to the day Amy met her husbandto-be, Vince. The timeline raised questions: Why couldn’t the court system hold onto Vince’s guns? Why hadn’t the police involved talked to one another? Why didn’t her co-workers push her to get help - help so she had a plan to get out safely? Told by an impassioned police detective together with the courts, Amy’s friends, and her family, “Telling Amy’s Story” creates a tense, disturbing, and exasperating picture of a life that was.
