Difficult Time For Medley
Those sweet words that were uttered by Medley did nothing to turn Klaas’ situation up-side-down. Klaas died for five days, which was a result of the violent act made against her. This entire period wherein Klaas’ was dead for five days was considered to be the most difficult time Medley had in his entire life. He recalled I was a wreck. It was a big-time out-of-body experience. I was thinking, ‘I can’t believe I am here looking at caskets for Karen. She was beautiful and alive and a wonderful lady.”
Sudden Changes
Klaas’ loss means drastic change for Medley, not only in simple ways but also in ways how to handle the life of their own child. Klaas’ death left Darrin with only a dad to look out for him. Medley also explained to People that at the time of their loss for Klaas, he was only a bachelor living his own life on the beach in Newport Beach. He added, “[Then] all of a sudden I was a single parent… I took some time off to get Darrin’s life back together.”
