Summary

On January 12, 2006, a 44 year old woman is shot at her home in Houston, Texas. The community is in a state of disbelief. The wife and mother of two leaves behind a devastated family in an attack that appeared to come out of nowhere. However, when friends and family come to learn the perpetrator’s identity, the shockwaves continue to ripple outward. On the surface, the killer is the last person you might suspect. But underneath a veneer of respectability and a happy home, the signs of deep discontent have been evident for some time. In episode 247, Jac and Alexis detail the devastating case of Cindy Stevens, and how struggles occuring behind closed doors can have far more terrifying, and sadly, deadly consequences than we could ever anticipate.
