Summary
Shawna Nelson appeared to have it all—a stable career as a police dispatcher, a family, and a comfortable life in Greeley, Colorado. But behind closed doors, she was entangled in a passionate affair with Officer Ignacio Garraus, a married man.
When Ignacio broke things off to repair his marriage with Heather Garraus, Shawna refused to let him go. Overcome with jealousy and heartbreak, she made a chilling decision that would end in cold-blooded murder.
On a frigid January night in 2007, Heather was confronted in a bank parking lot by a masked figure. Moments later, she was shot execution-style. The truth behind the crime sent shockwaves through the small town—revealing a twisted tale of obsession, deception, and deadly revenge.
What led Shawna Nelson to commit such a brutal act? And did justice truly prevail?
