CW told investigators he

“Why am I in arbitration?”
Later that day, CW called
Gygi and asked if she still
wanted to go through with
the plan, given that arbitration
was done. She wanted to
continue.
CW wore a recording
device when the two met the
following day and decided
that meddling with the vehicle
might not be a good idea.
CW said Hamill might only
be injured; Gygi expressed
concern that her son could be
in the vehicle. Gygi said she
would get an untraceable gun.
During a recorded phone
call July 7, Gygi told CW she
would give him the gun and
the Dodge Stratus he would
use to drive to Utah.
The two, in another
recorded call, arranged to
meet July 10 at a mall east of
Eugene. Police arrested Gygi
that day.
