On Edge

When I worked as Road Supervisor for ATC/CitiLift there was a guy, named Kirk Wingo, who set my nerves on edge. He tried to act as if he were a “smooth operator,” but I could tell he was slightly off the mark when it came to being honest.

While I didn’t hire him, I did have to interview him twice for three different incidents involving the safety of passengers. He eventually was fired after failing to secure a wheelchair passenger properly in his vehicle.

He disappeared and I never heard another thing about Kirk until he was arrested for murdering a young Reno woman. Brandi Gallego was mother of two, a daughter and sister, who he strangled to death and left in a family van in a parking lot.

Kirk told the Gallego family that Brandi’s death was an accident involving rough sex. He eventually pled guilty to her murder and is now spending the remainder of his life in prison.

It’s enough to keep the nerves on edge.
