WA - Zachary Lamb, 27, shot to death, Spokane, 7 Nov 2014

Police talked to patrons and employees at Borracho, who reported that nothing unusual happened while Lamb and his friends were there. They also looked at video surveillance footage to see if they could find evidence of anyone following the couple. “We see him driving fast, but we don’t see anyone following them,” Wohl said.

Lamb’s fiancée told police the incident may be road-rage related. Lamb’s friend and co-worker, John McLachlan, said the car Lamb was driving had been having mechanical problems. Its engine would race intermittently, causing the car to suddenly speed up and then slow down. Knapp said something must have happened on the way home. “He didn’t drive straight home,” she said. “He drove around trying to get rid of this person and thought he had.”

Whatever the cause, a man pulled up behind the couple when they arrived home. He yelled expletives and called him the N-word, as if he was challenging Lamb to a fight, Wohl said. After several minutes, Lamb got out of his car. He was shot twice in the chest as he reached the trunk of his car before he had a chance to say a word.

The darkness limited the description given by witnesses. The man is described as white and in his 40s with a gravelly voice and a beard. He was wearing a baseball cap. He was driving a dark-colored, boxy SUV with a roof rack that extended over the windshield.

The podcast begins where Zachary Lamb’s life ended – on the tree-lined streets of the lower South Hill, just outside of his apartment at 10th Avenue and Elm Street.

It’s here, four years ago, that Lamb, 26, was gunned down by an unknown man as his pregnant fiancee sat a few feet away in the passenger seat of his parked car. The two had been out celebrating the pregnancy.

The seemingly random act of violence, complicated further by an almost complete lack of physical evidence, has kept police and family members puzzled from the moment three shots – two of which struck Lamb – rang out on the night of Nov. 7, 2014.

And it’s here, in the quiet neighborhood of old homes and tall trees, that podcaster and filmmaker Lindy Boustedt begins her four-part series into Lamb’s murder. She calls it “A Senseless Death.”
