"Ludwig confessed to the killings, saying he shot the parents after the father told him to stop seeing his daughter, according to the court filing. Ludwig said he shot Michael Borden in the back as he was going down the hallway to the front door and then went looking for Cathryn Borden.
"I shot mom as she was sitting in the chair," Ludwig was quoted as telling detectives. "It was an intentional murder, I intended to shoot them, and I did."
"Ludwig told detectives that after the killings, he couldn't find Kara Borden. He started to drive away and saw her running down the road toward him.
She got in the car and said she wanted to "get as far away as possible, get married, and start a new life," Ludwig told detectives."

I'm sure - once Kara's family learn of this part of the story...they'll be real glad she was present for her parents' funeral - and that she will actually inherit money from them.
If life were fair - her share of the estate would go to her siblings.
