SHELTON — Kristine Fairbanks saved at least three lives Saturday when she approached Shawn Matthew Roe in a U.S. Forest Service campground, Roe’s former mother-in-law said Monday.
Although Fairbanks herself was killed and a Sequim-area retiree also died, the events Fairbanks set in action preserved Roe’s ex-wife and daughter, said Patti White of Shelton.
Roe probably would have killed White, too, she told the Peninsula Daily News.
“It is my firm belief that had Kris not called in his name that he would have ended up down here,” she said from her Shelton home, “and it is very likely that we would have lost our lives.”
Meanwhile, Roe’s ex-wife, Mary Catherine White, said she and her daughter had lived in fear of their lives since she divorced him in 2006.
