Boothroyd threw his wallet-containing $250-to the ground, but Mrs. Sullivan angrily snatched up the wallet and turned to walk away. The bandit fired, and Mrs. Sullivan fell with a bullet in her brain. Then the murderer shot Boothroyd twice in the face. In the Volkswagen, Denise Sullivan tried to drive...
