Deborah Milky was a cute 24-year-old single mother back in 1989.

She and her four-year-old son Christopher were living with a friend while Deborah prepared to move into her own apartment and start a new job. She was excited for what she saw as a fresh start, saving up

new clothing and household items for her and Christopher's new life.

But then on December 2nd, Christopher disappeared.

Join us at the quiet end for a dead woman walking.

When Deborah's son went missing on a trip to see Santa Claus,

she appeared to be frantic, trying to do everything possible to find her son

and bring him home safely, Deborah readily spoke with the police.

But when one detective finished interviewing Deborah, he claimed to have a confession.

Deborah, he said, had had her son murdered to collect on a small life insurance policy and

to escape the responsibilities of motherhood.

Put on trial for murder and then abandoned by most of her family and

friends, Deborah would find herself living a 20-year nightmare which was

likely to end with her execution by lethal injection.

And this happened in Arizona.

What do we have for a beer?
