Background
As Halloween approaches each year for the Bagley family, it brings to mind a particular memory, one that's both heartbreaking and haunting. It's a memory that still sends shivers down the spines of those who remember that fateful night in 1994. You see, it was the night when 7-year-old Tony Bagley, brimming with excitement and dressed as a cheerful skeleton, set out for a night of trick-or-treating.
Tony was a vivacious second-grader at Fitzgerald Elementary School. Tony was no ordinary 7-year-old. He was the kind of kid who radiated joy, the kind of boy who couldn't wait for Halloween to arrive. His anticipation was palpable as he carefully put on his skeleton costume, complete with a beaming smile painted on his small face. To Tony, Halloween was pure magic, a night where anything was possible, and the world was a playground of wonder.
