Biography[]
- "He picked me up, hugged me... told me he loved me more than anything. And he said... if he can't have me, then neither could she. And he jumped out the window. He died. I lived. He needed help. He needed someone to save him, but there was no one there."
- ―Krista Dumont to Billy Russo[src]
KM enlisted in the United States Army and served during the Vietnam War. After returning, he, alongside his wife, raised their daughter Krista Dumont, but was mentally unstable.[1] One night, Krista found a bird outside of their house, and showed KM. KM said that the bird was a lost cause, upsetting Krista. She then took the bird to her room and nursed it to health, and the bird flew away a week later.[3] Having a domestic argument pending a divorce, KM embraced his daughter in his arms, leaped from a window, intending to kill himself and his daughter. KM died from the fall although his traumatized daughter survived.[1]
