¤ ¤ 00:00:01.63\00:00:32.69 I'm standing at a crime scene in Washington, D.C. USA. A young 00:00:32.73\00:00:38.00 woman was brutally murdered in the apartment behind me. Shannon 00:00:38.03\00:00:42.14 Marie Bigger, just 25 years of age, was found dead here with 00:00:42.17\00:00:47.21 stab wounds to the neck. Her hands and feet were bound with 00:00:47.24\00:00:51.01 a telephone cord. 00:00:51.05\00:00:57.82 Shannon Bigger, a 25-year-old _ missionary from Walla 00:00:57.85\00:01:01.59 Walla, Washington was tied up and had her throat slashed. Her 00:01:01.62\00:01:05.96 nude body was found yesterday on the bed inside her Silver 00:01:05.99\00:01:09.86 Spring apartment just across the D.C. line. 00:01:09.90\00:01:13.20 What do you do when your daughter's been murdered, been 00:01:13.23\00:01:17.11 stabbed to death and is now lying in a morgue hundreds of 00:01:17.14\00:01:20.94 kilometers away. Where was God when the murderer pushed his way 00:01:20.98\00:01:25.91 into her apartment and attacked her? And what does God expect 00:01:25.95\00:01:30.25 of you now? How do you cope with such an unthinkable loss. Can 00:01:30.29\00:01:35.96 your shattered world every be put back together. Is it 00:01:35.99\00:01:40.13 possible to find peace again. Well today we're going to find 00:01:40.16\00:01:46.30 out. We're going to hear one family's journey after the 00:01:46.33\00:01:50.67 murder of their daughter. Darold and Barbara Bigger tell us the 00:01:50.71\00:01:56.24 story of Shannon's death and what they went through after it. 00:01:56.28\00:01:59.35 This isn't a view from a distance. The Bigger's let us 00:01:59.38\00:02:03.72 into their hearts. They share what they were thinking and 00:02:03.75\00:02:07.16 feeling and how they finally found what they needed to carry 00:02:07.19\00:02:12.86 on. They provide an in-depth look at forgiveness and love 00:02:12.89\00:02:15.93 and they provide a perspective that enables us to more easily 00:02:15.96\00:02:20.87 love our enemies and forgive them. 00:02:20.90\00:02:23.51 ¤ ¤ 00:02:23.54\00:02:41.49 On the 16th of June 1996, father's day in America, and her 00:02:41.52\00:02:46.39 grandfather's birthday, 25-year- old Shannon Bigger was gagged 00:02:46.43\00:02:51.13 and tied to her bed in her apartment and heartlessly 00:02:51.17\00:02:56.00 murdered. Her body was discovered the next morning. 00:02:56.04\00:03:00.41 It all started with a phone call on Monday, I was packing up to 00:03:00.44\00:03:05.45 move to a different office for the summer and the chaplain 00:03:05.48\00:03:07.95 asked me to come to his office and I was frustrated about that 00:03:07.98\00:03:13.46 because I already had a full day of activities on my calendar. 00:03:13.49\00:03:18.43 And I had already been called, I learned later, and when I got 00:03:18.46\00:03:23.87 to the chaplain's office, he was very very quiet and said we 00:03:23.90\00:03:27.90 were waiting for Darold. So I was surprised wondering what in 00:03:27.94\00:03:32.31 the world he had said that it was a personal matter of some 00:03:32.34\00:03:35.91 urgency. What could that have possibly been? 00:03:35.94\00:03:39.38 When I walked into the office and Barbara was sitting there 00:03:39.41\00:03:43.59 that was a surprise to me. The chaplain stood up from his desk 00:03:43.62\00:03:47.39 and came around to our side of the table. It all comes back. 00:03:47.42\00:03:53.90 And he said, I have the worst possible news that I could ever 00:03:53.93\00:04:00.07 share with you. Shannon has been killed, murdered in her 00:04:00.10\00:04:05.71 apartment in Washington, D.C. Our lives just fell apart. 00:04:05.74\00:04:14.32 I couldn't even comprehend the word murder. In fact, my mind 00:04:14.35\00:04:18.45 stopped at killed and I envisioned a car accident. 00:04:18.49\00:04:22.86 I knew the intersection where it happened. I wondered how many 00:04:22.89\00:04:26.36 other people were involved and the word murder didn't sink for, 00:04:26.39\00:04:31.97 I'm sure it was a split second, but it just, something I 00:04:32.00\00:04:36.24 couldn't wrap my mind around at all. I'd never known anybody who 00:04:36.27\00:04:41.81 had a family member murdered, didn't know them personally. You 00:04:41.84\00:04:45.75 know that only happens to other people. They identified that 00:04:45.78\00:04:52.42 Shannon was not a druggie or a prostitute. They found her 00:04:52.45\00:04:56.32 prayer journal by her bed and they had read some of it. They 00:04:56.36\00:05:03.87 started looking at surveillance tape. There's a big sign at the 00:05:03.90\00:05:08.30 entrance of her apartment complex that says surveillance 00:05:08.34\00:05:11.84 and it worked, the camera worked They saw a man going in and out 00:05:11.87\00:05:17.61 that day that didn't belong there. Neighbors identified 00:05:17.65\00:05:21.58 that they'd seen a person going in and out of her apartment. 00:05:21.62\00:05:28.99 The police then began looking for this van which had a stolen 00:05:29.02\00:05:32.53 license plate on it. So they got a search warrant. Early the next 00:05:32.56\00:05:36.43 morning they went to Anthony Robinson's apartment and found 00:05:36.46\00:05:41.50 him still in bed watching Shannon's television set. 00:05:41.54\00:05:46.57 Several others of her things that he had taken were in his 00:05:46.61\00:05:49.81 apartment. So miraculously shortly after she was killed 00:05:49.84\00:05:55.68 Anthony was in custody and has been ever since. We came back to 00:05:55.72\00:06:03.86 Washington, D.C. for the sentencing hearing and the 00:06:03.89\00:06:06.86 state's attorney made his summary statement to the judge 00:06:06.90\00:06:12.00 and concluded with a much more intense statement than I would 00:06:12.03\00:06:20.44 have done myself, but essentially said, pointing to 00:06:20.48\00:06:25.21 Anthony at the table who during this whole time had been sitting 00:06:25.25\00:06:29.95 there pretty nonresponsive looking down at the desk, not 00:06:29.98\00:06:33.02 paying much attention. Pointed at Anthony and said, This man 00:06:33.05\00:06:38.93 who committed this heinous crime deserves to spend the rest of 00:06:38.96\00:06:44.70 his life in his own private hell. And at that, Anthony 00:06:44.73\00:06:53.74 looked up glared at the attorney and gave him the finger. So that 00:06:53.78\00:07:01.98 was our image of Anthony. 00:07:02.02\00:07:04.69 No remorse whatsoever. Never seemed to consider saying he was 00:07:04.72\00:07:12.29 sorry or anything. He was given a chance to speak if he wanted 00:07:12.33\00:07:16.43 to and chose not to. Although I must admit if he had said he was 00:07:16.46\00:07:22.34 sorry, I'm not sure I would have believed him. He had told the 00:07:22.37\00:07:27.11 police many stories about how he chose Shannon as his victim, so 00:07:27.14\00:07:34.95 I don't know. 00:07:34.98\00:07:39.15 Police say Shannon Marie Bigger last talked to family or friends 00:07:39.19\00:07:42.12 on Sunday at 4 p.m. By Sunday night no one was able to reach 00:07:42.16\00:07:46.80 her. For relatives who came here this morning to check on Shannon 00:07:46.83\00:07:50.17 Bigger, there was a clue that all was not well. Her car was 00:07:50.20\00:07:54.44 still in the parking lot at 10:30 this morning. 00:07:54.47\00:07:57.11 When I went over there I saw Shannon's car parked there and 00:07:57.14\00:08:03.41 I went up to the door and the door was just slightly ajar. I 00:08:03.45\00:08:07.72 thought well she's maybe out taking the trash out and late to 00:08:07.75\00:08:11.79 (Don Steinert Shannon's Uncle) work or something, I didn't 00:08:11.82\00:08:13.15 know. Totally denying any possibility of anything at that 00:08:13.19\00:08:16.56 point. Ah, so I pushed the door open a little bit and there was 00:08:16.59\00:08:23.03 just the daylight from the early morning coming through the 00:08:23.06\00:08:27.10 windows there in the living room and way at the back in the 00:08:27.14\00:08:32.81 bedroom there was a faint light there and that was it, there 00:08:32.84\00:08:35.28 were no other lights in there. And I also smelled something 00:08:35.31\00:08:39.58 that I would have called the smell of death that I had 00:08:39.61\00:08:43.52 smelled around the hospital before. And I was a little 00:08:43.55\00:08:47.76 concerned. I thought, wow, what's going on here. And I 00:08:47.79\00:08:50.89 walked in and I noticed everything was kind of out of 00:08:50.93\00:08:55.26 place and in boxes and what not, but then she was moving so I 00:08:55.30\00:08:58.93 figured that she was packing. But I kept walking back toward 00:08:58.97\00:09:03.30 the bedroom toward the light. Didn't see anybody anywhere. 00:09:03.34\00:09:10.18 And got back to the bedroom and at this point the smell was 00:09:10.21\00:09:14.12 getting really strong and I thought who's back there in that 00:09:14.15\00:09:19.09 bedroom if Shannon's at work. I was just denying everything 00:09:19.12\00:09:24.23 at that point. I went into the bedroom and immediately two 00:09:24.26\00:09:28.33 things I noticed was the blood on the wall behind the headboard 00:09:28.36\00:09:33.84 and this sheet on the bed that was just, I couldn't have made 00:09:33.87\00:09:36.71 a bed that good. It was just immaculately smooth and every 00:09:36.74\00:09:40.78 corner mitered corners the whole bed. But it looked like you know 00:09:40.81\00:09:45.75 somebody had rolled up the pillows and laid them in a line 00:09:45.78\00:09:49.45 and I thought what is this? Well then I saw an arm from about 00:09:49.48\00:09:54.82 the elbow down hanging out the side and I thought, Oh no, who's 00:09:54.86\00:10:03.60 here, where is Shannon. I just had to see who was under there 00:10:03.63\00:10:10.01 so I went over and I just picked up the corner and there was 00:10:10.04\00:10:15.34 Shannon. I didn't even look any farther than, soon as I saw her 00:10:15.38\00:10:19.01 face I just dropped it down and just got nauseated in my stomach 00:10:19.05\00:10:24.45 at that point. I went right to the manager. So she immediately 00:10:24.49\00:10:29.92 called 9-1-1. 00:10:29.96\00:10:34.76 ¤ ¤ 00:10:34.80\00:10:43.64 We didn't hear from him for a long time, for several hours and 00:10:43.67\00:10:48.78 my mom and I and my brother we were all concerned. We were 00:10:48.81\00:10:51.85 (Ava Wilt, Shannon's cousin) starting to fear the worst that 00:10:51.88\00:10:53.85 something tragic had happened. So I called the apartment 00:10:53.88\00:10:58.52 complex where Shannon lived and they answered and I said, Do you 00:10:58.55\00:11:04.33 know Shannon Bigger? She's my cousin. I'm trying to get ahold 00:11:04.36\00:11:07.30 of her and my dad just came over recently to visit with her. Can 00:11:07.33\00:11:11.40 you tell me if everything's okay. And the woman who answered 00:11:11.43\00:11:14.84 the phone said I'm not allowed to make any comments. And I 00:11:14.87\00:11:18.67 pleaded with her. I said, Please tell me what's going on. I'm 00:11:18.71\00:11:23.14 getting really concerned. It's been several hours since my 00:11:23.18\00:11:25.95 father came over. And she said I'm sorry to tell you this, but 00:11:25.98\00:11:31.99 Shannon's been murdered. And I just started to weep and my mom 00:11:32.02\00:11:38.76 took the phone and knew that something was wrong. So what we 00:11:38.79\00:11:45.33 decided to go to the apartment complex because we hadn't heard 00:11:45.37\00:11:47.94 from my dad. Shannon was very involved in the church. She was 00:11:47.97\00:11:57.35 close to our family. She was the closest thing I had to a sister. 00:11:57.38\00:12:02.78 ¤ ¤ 00:12:02.82\00:12:22.30 She was not a perfect person and we acknowledge and recognize 00:12:22.34\00:12:26.47 that but she delighted us. 00:12:26.51\00:12:30.45 And her life was headed the right direction. She knew that 00:12:30.48\00:12:34.98 she wanted to be a very close friend of Jesus and she was 00:12:35.02\00:12:40.59 close. One of her uncles who visited her here in Maryland 00:12:40.62\00:12:45.96 actually said that he was staying with her for a few days 00:12:45.99\00:12:50.37 while he attended meetings and he said he heard her talking in 00:12:50.40\00:12:54.70 the middle of the night and he thought that was a little odd 00:12:54.74\00:12:57.27 so he actually crept kind of to her door and listened and she 00:12:57.31\00:13:02.01 was praying out loud for all the relatives and naming them 00:13:02.04\00:13:06.88 by name. And I didn't know she did that and that felt good to 00:13:06.92\00:13:10.82 know. She was a good kid. 00:13:10.85\00:13:15.26 ¤ ¤ 00:13:15.29\00:13:25.73 The impact of losing Shannon was the most devastating thing, of 00:13:25.77\00:13:29.74 course, that we've ever experienced. And there were 00:13:29.77\00:13:37.41 times early on and even months and months afterwards that I 00:13:37.45\00:13:41.92 thought that I would literally die of a broken heart. I could 00:13:41.95\00:13:46.79 remember just sobbing and sobbing and sobbing and thinking 00:13:46.82\00:13:51.06 I cannot go on. I cannot. And then of course I'd remember that 00:13:51.09\00:14:00.70 Shannon would want us to go on so I would have my good cry and 00:14:00.74\00:14:08.18 then I'd be okay for a while. 00:14:08.21\00:14:13.11 We went to church one morning without anybody else knowing 00:14:13.15\00:14:19.99 what I had been going through and the same chaplain who had 00:14:20.02\00:14:25.33 notified us the year before about Shannon's murder was 00:14:25.36\00:14:31.93 scheduled to speak that morning and he had chosen as his text 00:14:31.97\00:14:38.17 a verse in which Christian's are defined by the words, they will 00:14:38.21\00:14:47.78 know you're Christians by the way you love one another. 00:14:47.82\00:14:52.55 My mind immediately went to several other verses that 00:14:58.83\00:15:03.67 contained that same thought, the importance of loving other 00:15:03.70\00:15:07.57 people and when I got to the text where we are admonished 00:15:07.60\00:15:15.68 to love our enemies, to do good to those who hate you and 00:15:15.71\00:15:24.29 despitefully use you, I felt absolutely devastated because 00:15:24.32\00:15:31.06 I had been trying to do that for several weeks and I could not 00:15:31.09\00:15:35.53 accomplish it. I never felt more profoundly distant from God 00:15:35.56\00:15:43.91 than I did at that moment, in the middle of that 00:15:43.94\00:15:46.98 church service when that truth dawned on me. 00:15:47.01\00:15:51.21 Very little time later, I think it would be seconds 00:15:51.25\00:16:00.59 rather than minutes. Very shortly after I acknowledged 00:16:00.62\00:16:05.89 to myself, um, how at the core of who I am, I was an angry, 00:16:05.93\00:16:12.73 cynical, vengeful human being. 00:16:12.77\00:16:18.14 I remembered a text in Romans in which the Apostle Paul says, 00:16:18.17\00:16:26.65 "While we were still sinners, Christ died for us." 00:16:26.68\00:16:33.52 And I realized in a more profound way than I ever have 00:16:33.56\00:16:42.03 before that this cynical, rage filled Darold is the man 00:16:42.06\00:16:52.57 Jesus loved so much that he gave himself for me. 00:16:52.61\00:16:56.04 It wasn't just me when I was upset that my sister stole a 00:16:56.08\00:17:02.52 toy when we were children, or that some playmate on the 00:17:02.55\00:17:06.55 school playground jumped ahead of me in line. 00:17:06.59\00:17:09.89 It was this very profound rage in myself, 00:17:09.92\00:17:15.36 the part of me that I hated the most. 00:17:15.40\00:17:18.07 That was the part of me that God loves so much 00:17:18.10\00:17:22.24 that He accepts me. 00:17:22.27\00:17:25.84 And before the end of the service that day, 00:17:29.54\00:17:32.28 I realized that the knots that I had carried in the pit of 00:17:32.31\00:17:35.95 my stomach were gone, my jaw was relaxed, my fists were open, 00:17:35.98\00:17:45.19 and by the time we were singing the hymn and walking out, 00:17:45.23\00:17:49.36 I realized that another serious hurt by a person who I felt 00:17:49.40\00:17:58.77 had betrayed me and mis- represented me, 00:17:58.81\00:18:02.58 that resentment was gone as well. 00:18:02.61\00:18:05.91 It taught me that forgiveness was not something I accomplished 00:18:05.95\00:18:15.42 but that it was a gift that God gave to me. 00:18:15.46\00:18:21.00 It's not something that I do for myself, it's what has been 00:18:21.03\00:18:26.43 done for me that changes me. 00:18:26.47\00:18:29.54 So ever since that now, I have been on a quest to try to 00:18:29.57\00:18:34.91 comprehend and quantify and explain what happened to me 00:18:34.94\00:18:41.02 that day and the whole subject of forgiveness has followed 00:18:41.05\00:18:45.62 the train. 00:18:45.65\00:18:47.36 For our family, the tragedy of June 16 is not simply 00:18:51.46\00:18:55.93 that Shannon lost her life, but also that the world lost 00:18:55.96\00:19:00.74 a great gift of potential that her life represented. 00:19:00.77\00:19:03.81 For us, Shannon's death represents a fundamental 00:19:03.84\00:19:07.94 struggle between good and evil 00:19:07.98\00:19:10.35 and as a result if our family is angry in any significant way, 00:19:10.38\00:19:16.99 we are angry at what the world has been cheated of 00:19:17.02\00:19:19.62 because she can't be here to give any more. 00:19:19.65\00:19:23.02 Sorry dad, I just wanted to give the rest of the best. 00:19:23.86\00:19:27.96 {Indistinct chatter} 00:19:28.00\00:19:42.08 Um, yes, I have forgiven Anthony and I repeatedly forgive him 00:19:42.11\00:19:49.68 every time it comes up again because if forgiveness is not 00:19:49.72\00:19:54.52 an event, it's a process. And so we keep coming back 00:19:54.56\00:19:59.93 to these offenses, these grievances we have 00:19:59.96\00:20:02.96 in our case toward him, for the people our situations that 00:20:03.00\00:20:07.07 have disoriented us and each time it resurfaces, 00:20:07.10\00:20:10.91 we repeat the process. We remind ourselves that we know 00:20:10.94\00:20:17.81 what it's like to be forgiven and that forgiveness that comes 00:20:17.85\00:20:23.12 to us from God empowers us to share that with other people. 00:20:23.15\00:20:27.72 It lets us let go of our hurts. 00:20:27.76\00:20:33.23 But the difficult time for me came when I felt that I needed 00:20:38.13\00:20:43.30 to pray for Anthony. I thought how can I do that? 00:20:43.34\00:20:47.44 So all I could do was to ask God to make me willing to pray 00:20:47.48\00:20:52.98 for Anthony. It took a while before I could do that. 00:20:53.01\00:20:56.92 Since we are not allowed contact with him in any way, 00:20:56.95\00:21:03.06 I could only pray and hope that somebody, a chaplain or 00:21:03.09\00:21:09.36 someone on the inside can get through to him that what he did 00:21:09.40\00:21:14.54 was terrible and help him understand that he is still 00:21:14.57\00:21:20.61 a valuable human being and God still loves him... 00:21:20.64\00:21:23.55 Shannon knew that and would want that I know. 00:21:23.58\00:21:29.42 Having experienced that profound love that God had for me 00:21:29.45\00:21:37.66 when I hated myself, to be forgiven by a good God 00:21:37.69\00:21:43.70 changes everything for me. I think I am more gracious 00:21:43.73\00:21:49.40 to other people and the things they do to irritate me... 00:21:49.44\00:21:53.17 I think I am more aware of my own flaws and willing to accept 00:21:53.21\00:21:59.21 help with other people's flaws and because of that, I am 00:21:59.25\00:22:05.02 better able to share the gift of forgiveness with other people. 00:22:05.05\00:22:09.49 The truth is, this isn't all a story about me or us, 00:22:09.52\00:22:15.96 it's a story about God and what God for us 00:22:16.00\00:22:21.67 and can do for all of us as a human family for one and 00:22:21.70\00:22:27.24 another. It's been a privilege to have the Bigger's on our 00:22:35.85\00:22:38.99 program today. Darold's and Barbara's inspiring story 00:22:39.02\00:22:44.19 reminds us how important though difficult forgiveness is for us. 00:22:44.23\00:22:48.43 Both giving and receiving forgiveness can be a real 00:22:48.46\00:22:53.00 challenge for us, but it's only when God's miraculous gift 00:22:53.03\00:22:57.24 of forgiveness penetrates our lives that we can find 00:22:57.27\00:23:01.08 true peace and freedom. 00:23:01.11\00:23:03.24 God's forgiveness allows us to move way out of whatever 00:23:03.28\00:23:08.22 darkness, whatever problems are putting us down 00:23:08.25\00:23:10.79 and holding us captive. 00:23:10.82\00:23:12.55 His forgiveness allows us to move forward to a better place. 00:23:12.59\00:23:17.39 God provides the freedom we are longing for. 00:23:17.43\00:23:22.10 Why not reach out and accept that gift of forgiveness 00:23:22.13\00:23:25.67 and freedom right now as we pray. 00:23:25.70\00:23:29.30 Dear Heavenly Father, Thank you for Darold and Barbara's 00:23:29.34\00:23:34.34 powerful and inspiring story, we are grateful for your offer 00:23:34.38\00:23:38.91 of forgiveness through Jesus.

We want to leave the past behind 00:24:03.71\00:24:08.34 and move forward with you. You have the power to set us 00:24:08.38\00:24:13.72 free. We reach out and accept you and pray for your blessing 00:24:13.75\00:24:18.85 and deliverance. In Jesus name we pray. 00:24:18.89\00:24:22.42 Amen! 00:24:22.46\00:24:24.29 Darold and Barbara Biggers incredible story 00:24:36.47\00:24:39.27 of their struggle of the tragic death of their daughter Shannon 00:24:39.31\00:24:43.35 has inspired people around the world. 00:24:43.38\00:24:46.25 There story isn't a view from a distance, 00:24:46.28\00:24:49.08 the Biggers let us into their hearts they shared 00:24:49.12\00:24:53.52 what they were thinking and feeling and how they finally 00:24:53.56\00:24:56.42 found what they needed to carry on. 00:24:56.46\00:24:59.19 If you are struggling with the challenge of forgiveness 00:24:59.23\00:25:02.73 in real life, whether it be the need to forgive, 00:25:02.76\00:25:06.30 or the need to be forgiven, or if you'd like to experience 00:25:06.33\00:25:10.34 God's love and His gift of forgiveness, 00:25:10.37\00:25:13.31 then I'd like to recommend the free gift we have for all our 00:25:13.34\00:25:17.01 viewers today.
