Barbara Finch
(died 1959)

I'm sorry...I should have listened to you...I love you...take care of the kids...

These are the last words of Barbara Finch reported by her husband and murderer Dr. Bernard Finch of West Covina, California. Finch claimed he shot her accidentally. Two and a half months earlier, however, Mrs. Finch told her lawyer of her fear of being killed by her husband. Dr. Finch and his lover Carol Tregoff were both convicted of second degree murder.
