Montgomery was acquitted of the murder charge on Oct. 29, 1980, the Dallas Morning News reported, sending shockwaves through the small religious Texas community.To understand what happened at the Gore home on June 13, 1980, “Love and Death” starts well before the crime scene. “I’ve been thinking about you a lot and it’s really bothering me and I don’t know whether I want you to do anything about it or not,” she told him, according to Texas Monthly. “I’m very attracted to you and I’m tired of thinking about it and so I wanted to tell you.”
The next day, Montgomery told him, “Allan, you seem to be leaving it up to me. So I’ve decided, I won’t call. I won’t try to see you. I won’t bother you anymore.”What happened on June 13, 1980? Montgomery said she would just head home, and Betty Gore put the ax down. As Montgomery was leaving, she placed a hand on her old friend’s arm and said, “Oh, Betty, I’m so sorry.”
