Andrea Umphrey, 35, of Sheraden, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, was killed on April 18, 2004 after an abduction that began during a service at Victorious Faith Evangelical Outreach church. Her ex-boyfriend, Alvin Starks, 30, allegedly confronted her at the church, held her at gunpoint, shot her, and then forced her and their 9-month-old daughter Aaliyah into a vehicle. A high-speed chase across nearly 50 miles on the Pennsylvania Turnpike followed. Aaliyah was rescued unharmed; Umphrey was transported to Mercy Hospital and pronounced dead.

The case record describes a history of abuse: Umphrey had twice obtained protection-from-abuse orders against Starks, whom prosecutors said was angry about those orders and their effect on his access to their child. Starks was arrested and charged with first-degree murder; the trial ended in a January 2006 conviction and a life-without-parole sentence after jurors deadlocked on the death penalty.

What details about Andrea’s movements or the church confrontation could help clarify how Starks was able to confront her despite the protective orders?
