Home for Christmas after nearly a year in the Middle East, Navy Reservist Paul Berkley was making up for lost time with his family.

He arrived Wednesday, in time to hear his 18-year-old son, Zeke, sing the national anthem with his high school chorus. On Friday, he and 16-year-old daughter Becky ate pizza, watched movies and danced.

By Sunday, the 46-year-old sailor was dead, shot once in the head during a walk in the park with his wife, Monique. She now stands charged with his slaying, along with two men - her alleged teenage lover and her stepdaughter Becky's boyfriend.


"It's all just so ironic, isn't it?" Becky Berkley wrote Tuesday on her own blog, MistressBecky, as her stepmother was making her first court appearance. "My dad was in the Middle East for months and months and didn't get shot... then he came home, where you'd assume he'd be much safer... and then, all this happened."

3. Solider found out about affair and was going to file for divorce

This lady and the 2 guys need to be locked up forever if found guilty.. Making the whole thing even worse yet, the soldier's own daughter tipped off the wife (her stepmom) that the soldier was going to file..that started the murder plot.

The wife of a Navy reservist who was shot and killed in a Raleigh park early Sunday morning has confessed to the crime and given details of the incident to police.

Perry also confirmed that Monique Berkley was having an affair with Canty, who moved into the Berkley home while Paul Berkley was deployed to the Middle East.

Perry said Paul Berkley suspected that his wife was having an affair, and that he told his daughter, Becky, that he planned to divorce his wife. Perry said Becky told her stepmother, who allegedly put the plot to kill her husband in motion.

On the night of the shootings, police said the couple had dinner in Clayton, went to see "King Kong" at a north Raleigh movie theater and then went to Millbrook Exchange Park for what Monique Berkley had promised to be a "romantic interlude."
