A BEAUTIFUL MOTHER OF THREE...GONE MISSING Before twenty-nine-year old Bianca Carrasco went missing in San Antonio on May 1, 2016, she was overwhelmed by the strain of her unhappy marriage. While Bianca's family said she was trying hard to laugh through her tears, it was clear to see that things between the mother of three and her forty-year old husband, Joe Daniel, were becoming increasingly difficult.

"The situation is difficult, because we are trying not to be judgmental." What happened to Bianca Carrasco?

Two days before Christmas, in 2012, Sandra - or Sandy - Melgar was found tied up inside of a closet in her home in a nice neighbourhood of Houston. A chair was forced against the doorknob, keeping her trapped in the confined space. Her husband Jaime - Jim - Melgar had been stuffed into a different closet - but unlike Sandy, Jim had been killed, first. A medical examiner's report concluded that Jim had died of blunt force trauma, and multiple stab wounds that had been inflicted with a kitchen knife. The community was horrified, and their horror only grew when police announced that they'd identified the person responsible for the attack on the Melgar family - Sandy Melgar, herself.Why did she do it?

Known by many as the Poet Laureate of America's Damned, Stephen Wayne Anderson had a talent for expressing himself with words - earning himself plenty of awards and admiration despite the fact that his literary masterpieces were written while he awaited execution on death row...In fact, Anderson's knack for language allowed him to innately capture the feelings of despair, hopelessness, and regret that were abundant among the condemned. His elegant prose even led many to believe that he must have been wrongly charged - anyone who could write such brilliant, sympathetic poetry certainly wouldn't have been able to commit the act of murder?
