Before Zachary Ryan Babitz left his wife’s home in Edgewood in late July, he left a note for police. “To: Law Enforcement this needs to be very clear,” the note read. “My wife had absolutely no clue as to what I planned or am about to do. These were my decisions and I hid them from her. Signed this day 8-1-24 10:55 am Zachary Babitz.”
