there’s a novel in the details of this

The professor at the University of Alabama who gunned down three colleagues in a tenure meeting — and who probably killed her brother in a shooting in 1986 — may have orchestrated the details of her brother’s shooting from a newspaper clipping police discovered in an enlarged photograph from the original crime scene.

Keating declined to be specific about the incident in the paper. Boston newspapers were reporting the article was about the November 1986 killing of the parents of actor Patrick Duffy, who starred in the TV series “Dallas.” They were slain with a shotgun during a robbery attempt at a Montana bar they owned. The two teen suspects then stole a truck at gunpoint from a car dealership. They were arrested after a high speed chase.
