Kandi Hall, Who is Kandi and Rob Hall?

The Hall family moved to Meridian, Idaho, from California, and Rob worked in IT at the local sheriff’s department. In 2010 Kandi was hired as a paralegal by Emmett Corrigan and worked at his law practice.

Kandi’s co-workers reported that she and Rob had a shaky marriage. They were even stating that he was abusive towards her and that she had been left with bruises in the past.

Who was Emmett Corrigan?

Emmett Corrigan was born in August 1980 and studied philosophy at Utah State University. In 2003, Emmett met Ashlee, his future wife. The pair married in March 2004 and had five children together. Emmett was described as being ambitious and driven. He attended law school, passed the bar exam, and set up his own practice in 2010 at the age of thirty. At the time, Ashlee was pregnant with the pair’s fifth child. After passing the bar exam and starting his own practice, Emmett hired 40-year-old Kandi Hall, a mother of two, to work as a paralegal. Unfortunately, according to co-workers from the practice, the already married pair became involved in an affair.

What happened to Emmett Corrigan?

That same night just a few miles away, Kandi Hall told her husband, Rob Hall, that she was going to run a quick errand. Kandi and Emmett met at Walgreens in Meridian, Idaho, at around 9 pm. Kandi got into Emmett’s truck, and they went to the gas station, where they filled his truck with gas and then went to a nearby subdivision and had sex in the truck.

The pair, blinded by love and lust, thought no one knew about their affair. However, a coincidence would change everything. Kandi Hall’s daughter drove into the parking lot that night and noticed her mother’s car was parked and empty. Thinking this was strange, she called her dad.

Her dad, Rob, began calling his wife to see what was going on; however, after Kandi answered, Emmett, took the phone from her and threatened Rob during the phone conversation. This caused Rob to drive to Walgreens, where he found his wife on her supposed errand.

Surveillance footage from the store shows that Rob parked his truck and entered the store. Inside the store, he roams all the aisles looking for Kandi. When he doesn’t find her, he leaves the store, checks his wife parked car, and then moves his truck so it is parked on the other side of his wife’s car. This move made his door just out of range from the surveillance camera, but the unseen reality was Rob had a gun. It was a caliber pistol with a laser sight and would soon be used to murder.

Seventeen minutes later, Kandi and Emmett returned to the parking lot in Emmett’s truck. They saw Rob but had no idea he was holding a gun and was desperate to get his revenge.
