<p class="mol-para-with-font">Kailee&#8217;s ex-boyfriend Paul Sargent testified that she called him crying in April 2017, three months before her passing.<br />
&#8216;She told me that earlier in the night her mother had pulled a gun on her father after he had slapped her and she had gone to bed with her mother,&#8217; Sargent testified. &#8216;While she was sleeping with her mom her dad slid in behind her and started trying to touch her inappropriately &#8230; and she slid forward against her mom&#8217;s back.&#8217;<br />
Another friend, Maegan Swan, described Kailee&#8217;s relationship with Ronald as that of two friends, rather than a parent and a child, and said that they were drinking buddies.</p>

Swan also repeated the same story about how Ronald allegedly slapped Kailee in the face during a heated exchange, how her nurse mom allegedly pulled a gun on him and threatened to kill him if he touched her daughter again, and how the dad later slipped into their bed and allegedly fondled the 22-year-old.</p>

<p class="mol-para-with-font">She also said she does not think Ronald killed Kailee.<br />
In his opening statement on Tuesday, defense attorney Michael Johnson said the woman shot herself and that gunshot residue on her hand supports that theory.<br />
&#8216;Ronald McMullen had no gunshot residue on his hand, not one speck,&#8217; Johnson said.<br />
Prosecutor Jacobi Whatley disputed that theory, saying that evidence presented at trial will demonstrate that &#8216;Kailee did not fire that gun at herself.&#8217;<br />
A Norman police officer testified that Ronald McMullen moved his daughter’s body from the kitchen to the living room and called his wife, Karen, telling her, &#8216;Kailee&#8217;s been shot,&#8217; before calling 911.<br />
Norman police Lt. Chris Vinson says he was immediately suspicious that Ronald McMullen was involved, in part because he was drenched in his daughter&#8217;s blood and let his wife answer questions for him.</p>

<p class="mol-para-with-font">Johnson countered by saying that there was blood on his client because he was standing close to Kailee when she shot herself.<br />
According to an affidavit for a search warrant filed on July 6, 2017, a day after Ronald&#8217;s arrest on murder charges, police arrived at the home on the 1700 block of Abe Martin Drive, to find McMullen&#8217;s wife, Karen Hooker McMullan, giving the young woman CPR.</p>

Her father was also covered in blood, and stared blankly when the police asked what happened, cops claim.<br />
When police ventured further into the home they found that McMullen had been trying to mop up blood in the home&#8217;s kitchen, the affidavit said.<br />
And when they tried to take pictures of the blood-drenched dad he attempted to wipe it off himself with a towel despite repeated demands that he stop, it alleged.<br />
The towel was snatched away from McMullen, who then tried to use his hands until he was physically restrained, the report said.<br />

After the photos were taken, McMullen&#8217;s behavior reached bizarre extremes, as the man allegedly went to the entryway of the home, which borders a grassy front lawn, and &#8216;lay down in the dirt,&#8217;<br />
He then &#8216;began covering himself in dirt while rubbing the shoes he was wearing on the concrete entryway,&#8217; the affidavit claimed.<br />
Kailee graduated from Norman High School in 2013 where she was a Varsity cheerleading captain, before attending Bible college in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. She was working as an EMT and at a plasma donation clinic in Norman when she was killed.</p>
