According to Blake, he and Bakley had walked back to the car after dinner when he recalled that he had left his licensed handgun on a seat in Vitello's. He said he rushed back to retrieve the weapon, which he carried because Bakley said she was being stalked. When he got back to the car, he found her shot and gasping for air. Blake ran for help, first to a nearby house and then to the restaurant.

"She was a pack rat," said Braun. "She kept every document involved with her." The documents, he says, will help identify Bakley's enemies and perhaps pinpoint a suspect from the countless scams she worked, including trying to pass hundreds of thousands of dollars...
