After fatal shooting, shining a light on domestic violence

ANCHORAGE — The plan was to meet up in California for a girls’ getaway near the end of April.

Lindsey Collins said she looked forward to seeing Alaskan friends who were close enough to be sisters. One of them had recently split from her husband, and Collins wanted to be there for her. They called the April vacation the New Beginning Trip.

They never made it. In February, former Eagle River resident Brandy Sullivan, 37, was killed in her Anchorage home. Her husband, 40-year-old Adam Sullivan, faces charges of first- and second-degree murder in connection with her shooting. His trial is scheduled to begin in May.
