Immortalized in the acclaimed documentary Dear Zachary, this brutally honest memoir chronicles the devastating failures of a legal system that allowed unimaginable tragedy to unfold.
In 2001, Dr. Andrew Bagby was found murdered in Keystone State Park, Pennsylvania. The chief suspect: his ex-girlfriend Shirley Turner. Obsessed and unstable, Shirley fled to Newfoundland and later revealed she was pregnant with Andrew’s son, Zachary.
Hoping to protect their grandson, Dave and Kate Bagby moved to Newfoundland to fight for custody. But in 2003, Shirley committed an unthinkable act—taking her own life and Zachary’s by plunging into the Atlantic Ocean.
Dance with the Devil is a harrowing eulogy for lives lost too soon and a searing indictment of a justice system that failed to protect the innocent.
