It was around 11 on the morning of November 17, 2014, three months to the day after her husband's murder, that Sabrina Limon was taken into custody at her children's school.

and driven to the desert town of Boron,

which was the closest Kern County Sheriff's Department's substation.

It was there that the couple's long journey

through the American justice system would begin.

Jonathan Hearn's family had already been notified of his arrest.

Sabrina's sister, Julie, had been told by investigators that somebody needed to make arrangements to take care of her kids

because she had been detained.

I was at work and I got the call on my cell phone.

I needed to pick up the kids from school.

We weren't able to talk to Brena.

I just couldn't, couldn't believe it.

While Jonathan and Sabrina were being transported to Boron,

teams of investigators fanned out to begin searches of their homes.

From Sabrina's residence, we were able to obtain lots of documents regarding financial stuff

from life insurance companies, from BNSF railroad, letters from Jonathan to Sabrina.

were no longer just proof of a steamy illicit affair.

They were now called evidence.
