A retired Navy captain was left permanently paralyzed after his stepdaughter shot him in the spine in self defense during what prosecutors say was a botched elaborate murder plan.

Traveling without a phone, paying by cash, and avoiding stores with security cameras, Henry Herbig hoped to leave no digital fingerprint, according to prosecutors, as he drove from Florida to Virginia Beach to kill his estranged wife.
