"The heart donor had been Mark Wiley, a young man who had killed his estranged girlfriend, 19-year-old Karen Ermert. When police arrived at the scene, Willey shot himself in the head."

"It's just — it's a heart. It's an organ. It's not a murder organ," Baisey told "48 Hours" in 2019. "And it's just an organ that happened to save my life."
