Well she should have been arrested, and justice did serve its course. She clearly premeditated the murder and illegally bough the gun. She lost favor with the public when they found her father was an SS officer. Nothing like blaming the kids for the deeds of their father.

Sentence for manslaughter[edit]​

On 2 November 1982, Bachmeier was initially charged in court with murder.[19] Later the prosecution dropped the murder charge. After 28 days of negotiations, the board agreed on the verdict.[5] Four months after the opening of proceedings, she was convicted on 2 March 1983 by the Circuit Court Chamber of the District Court of Lübeck for manslaughter and unlawful possession of a firearm.[10][17] The defense's argument that the act was not premeditated was mostly upheld by the court.[7] She was sentenced to six years in prison but was released after serving three.[10][17]
 
Uniflites……

As in the former boat company from Bellingham, Wash.? My dad owned a couple of Uniflite passenger cabin cruiser boats (a 31' boat and then a 36' boat for the longest time, until he bought his house on Martha's Vineyard. He would actually sail the boats from NJ up through Long Island Sound to Martha's Vineyard every August for vacation.

Going across "Rhode Island" Sound (i.e. from Point Judith, RI (last fuel stop) to the entrance to Vineyard Sound (a buoy labeled "VS") was often a trip and a half! Often 13' seas and visibility poor enough to not see the coast line to the North of us. There was no land to the South, exposing us to nothing but the Atlantic Ocean. The only other boat out there, sometimes, was a Navy Destroyer out on maneuvers. We knew we were getting close to that "VS" buoy when we'd see the "Buzzard's Bay Entrance Tower" (we called it "Texas Tower" - it had a large white Strobe) but about 4-5 miles to the North of the "VS" Buoy.

You never wanted to go towards the tower because you could cut across a real nasty reef (Sow & Pig's Reef). It was a boat killer. Anyway, the trip would take about 15 hours total, and we'd often split it up into two days, staying in New London, CT going up, and Old Saybrook, CT returning back.

Uniflite had the contract to build thos PBR’s for the navy after the war they used the molds to make a cabin cruiser call the “salty dog” or “salty pup” I forget but they are still desirable boats to have in the Pacific Northwest…… if you can find them….

There are a bunch of them, still surviving in Alaska marinas. That was one of the neat things about How Uniflite hulls were constructed. They'd take that mold, and build it from the "ground up" as it were. They'd start with the "Gel-Coat" and then slowly build the fiberglass layers over the top of it.

I think Dad had purchased the "Sedan" model (first at 31', then he traded up to 36').
