 | Two Codes for Murder by Dorothea Fuller Smith, Phyllis Hornung
Author and Charlene appeared on the Sally Jessy Raphael show on April 11, 2002. Lewis Junior High, now a Middle School, where three hired killers attempted to kill Charlene as she sat waiting in her car for school dismissal. She was like a sitting duck, said the judge who called Floyd a pretty greedy husband who victimized his wife in front of a school, of all places motivated to collect 3/4 of a million dollars. The students at Lewis Junior High School crowded around the exit door but were locked in. They clamored to see who had been shot. Jericha, look! It's your mother! They got her! A dating service brought Floyd and Charlene together. During their courtship Floyd charmed, romanced and lied his way into Charlene's heart, convincing her to become his forever girl . Thus began the story of a woman whose dreams for a long and love-filled marriage became hellish nightmares of threats, violence and eventually, her attempted murder. Using code words was Floyd's way of life. Only Floyd and his best buddies knew what they meant. He even had a code for murder. When the hitmen completed their mission of murder in front of Lewis Junior High School where Charlene was waiting for one of her daughters, they paged him with that code as the contract demanded. But, they botched the job and Floyd got caught. At the trial, snickers floated through the packed courtroom as the defense lawyers derisively repeated Wahbee, Wahbee , what the prosecution claimed was Floyd's code for the hit. Only it wasn't funny to Charlene. She knew who had made it up and what it meant. The challenge was how to prove it. AUTHOR: Dorothea Fuller Smith, Phyllis Hornung
