On
the
upcoming
episode
of
Oprah
Winfrey
Show
on
Big
CBS
Love,
Oprah
visited
the
Billings"
Florida
home
to
find
out
how
Ashley
is
looking
after
her
adopted
siblings
after
her
parents
were
massacred
way
back
in
2009.
Melanie
and
Bud
were
raising
nine
children
with
special
needs
when
they
were
gunned
down
while
they
were
sleeping.
They
were
innocent
victims
of
a
methodical
murder
plot.
They
weren't
the
only
ones
at
home
that
night…nine
adopted
children
with
special
needs,
members
of
the
Billings"
large,
loving
family,
were
sleeping
nearby.
Before
July
2009,
Melanie
and
Bud
were
best
known
in
Pensacola,
Florida,
as
a
generous,
good-hearted
couple
who
opened
their
home
to
children
with
severe
disabilities.
Now,
their
tragic
deaths
haunt
the
community
and
the
children
they
left
behind.
After
her
parents
were
found
dead,
Ashley
and
her
husband
of
two
years,
Blue
Markham,
took
over
parenting
duties
for
her
nine
adopted
siblings,
which
fulfills
a
promise
Ashley
says
she
made
to
her
mother
years
ago.
In
just
a
few
months,
Ashley
and
Blue
have
adapted
to
their
new
routines.
Ashley
wakes
up
before
dawn
to
care
for
each
child
before
heading
to
her
full-time
job.
All
nine
children
require
specialized
medical
care.
Emma,
the
baby
of
the
family,
has
Down
syndrome
and
must
be
fed
through
a
feeding
tube.
Katie
and
Nicholas
take
seizure
medication,
while
Ricky
takes
an
anti-psychotic
medicine,
which
helps
with
his
behavioral
problems.
Investigations
are
on,
and
some
arrests,
but
Ashley
is
still
searching
for
answers.
She
says
why
someone
would
want
to
kill
her
parents.
"They
were
good
people.
They
did
wonderful
things."

children
with
special
needs.
