| "I
was in shock. I was terrified. I was not there. All I could
think was, 'Oh my God. Oh my God. Oh my God. Oh my God!' Tabitha
Buck in an interview with a local newspaper.
Lisa Michelle Lambert, Tabitha Buck and Lawrence Yunkin returned
to the mobile home the couple lived in. Lambert and Buck both
took showers to remove the blood of Laurie Show. Buck recalls
taking the tip of the knife out of her pocket and tossing
it somewhere in the room in the trailer. She would then borrow
a pair of black stretchy pants from Lambert as hers were covered
with blood and put on her white sweatshirt. When Buck asked
the two what she should do with her Miami Dolphins jacket
she was told to leave it with them and they would clean it.
After they were both cleaned up, Lambert and Yunkin drove
Buck to school.
That
night Tabitha recalls watching a reporter stand outside the
Show home on the evening news describing the murder of the
Conestoga Valley High School sophomore. She started crying
and shaking and recalls that she was afraid but even worse,
she was afraid to be afraid. She recalls her first impression
when seeing the news report was an urge to dial 911.
" I wanted to dial 911. If she was going to do that
to Laurie, what would she do to me? I couldn't talk. I kept
thinking, 'Everything's going to come out."
Within
minutes Lisa and Lawrence arrived at her home. She told them
the murder was on the news and was told by Lawrence, "We
have to do what we normally. We'll go the bowling alley, like
we always do.' Buck told them she wasn't going and for
them to go without her. Lawrence said, ' You have to go.'
The police would find the three at the bowling alley later
that night and take all three in for questioning.
