For many, 41 axe blows seemed too vehement of a defense. This statement passed the polygraph test with flying colors and the jury gave it credibility, much to the uproar of the public. The defendant alleged that the act of taking the tool away from Gore and using it against her was in self-defense. Supposedly, this is why, during Candy’s visit, she suddenly brought an axe into the room, in order to threaten her guest and demand that she not get any closer to her husband. But, according to Montgomery, Betty Gore knew about the affair and was still bothered. The subsequent investigation revealed that Candy Montgomery – who admitted to killing her neighbor and showering at the crime scene to clean the blood off – previously had an affair lasting just under one year with the victim’s widower, Allan Gore, who was out of town on a work trip on the day of the murder.Īccording to the versions of both Candy and Allan, the affair had ended months before. They had gone to see Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back. She was discovered by some neighbors, who also found the deceased’s one-year-old baby crying inconsolably in her cradle.Ĭandy Montgomery, her family and Gore’s other daughter, meanwhile, carried on with the evening. ![]() In the space of time from when the visitor closed the door to when she opened it to leave, only Montgomery knows for sure what happened.īetty Gore’s corpse was left lying on the ground, covered in marks after having received 41 axe blows. In theory, she wants to ask if it’s okay for Betty’s elder daughter to go to the movies that afternoon with her family and spend the night. The facts: at ten o’clock in the morning, on Friday, June 13, 1980, in the city of Wylie, Texas,Ĭandy Montgomery – a 30-year-old housewife, who attends daily mass and is very involved in community activities – goes over to the home of her neighbor and friend, Betty Gore.
