Had the opportunity to fight her toe to toe while trying to arrest her one night ( not the night of the murders ) - gotta give the ol' gal credit - she could ( and would ) fight like a man. The fight outcome was in doubt for a period of time laugh before I finally persevered. Saw her fight numerous other officers on various occasions with the same dynamics. Tough ol' gal.

Years after that occurred, I bought a house in the neighborhood where all of those people lived. A few of my neighbors had grown up in the neighborhood and knew everybody involved. One of them told me the history of the situation.

Fay Foster had reason to have bad feelings towards one of the people she killed. The other four just happened to be there when she "went off".
