Katherine Hawley, knowing that her daughter was inside a home that had been entered by an angry, shotgun-toting man, rushed to the Mecosta County residence to protect her.
Hawley ended up dead, shot in the head in front of Jamey Shields, the daughter she sought to save.
Shields spent the next several hours trying to keep herself together in the face of her own brutal rape, the sexual assault of two other women and other unspeakable crimes that played out on Nov. 21, 2013, as Duncan Willis terrorized people he mistakenly believed had reported him to state child welfare workers.
On Wednesday, as a judge sentenced Willis to a term of life plus 202 years, it was an opportunity for the women to stand up to their attacker.
Shields insulted the Big Rapids man. Sarah Baker spoke firmly to Willis, who was restrained and wearing an orange jail uniform.
“My whole world has been rocked,” said Baker, who along with Shields are being identified by MLive and The Grand Rapids Press with their permission. “He didn’t ruin me because I will never let him win.”
Police said the ordeal began when Willis walked to Baker’s home on Cramer Road angry over his belief that she’d called Child Protective Services on him. Willis had recently gained custody of 6-year-old twins and was caring for three other children. Authorities said the report to child welfare workers did not come from anyone in the house.
Willis entered the home around 8:30 p.m. armed with a long gun. Shields had been on the phone with her boyfriend at the time, but abruptly ended the call. The boyfriend, who was out of state and concerned for her well-being, contacted Hawley, prompting her to go to the home.
As she entered, Willis shot and killed the 58-year-old woman at point blank range, authorities said.
Willis never bothered to try to hide the woman’s body from Baker’s 7-month-old daughter or two 7-year-old boys who were in the house, authorities said.
In the hours that followed, the three women inside the home were repeatedly sexually assaulted. Baker held tight to her infant daughter throughout the night.
