A Web of Lies: Murder in League City, Texas (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798853398733)

Remember the telephone game? We heard so many versions of this crime and the people around it. We felt like we were living the telephone game.

A small group of pen pals of a Texas Department of Criminal Justice inmate decided they needed to research the case of their "friend" that had been convicted of. This pen pal had spent decades claiming to have been an abused spouse, suffering physical, mental, emotional and financial abuse. Many of us pen pals could related! What if we had been accused of having our husband murdered? We would have been wrongly accused. So the journey began....

Eight years of trying to gather records.
*Police Report
*Trial Transcripts
*Criminal Evidence
* Medical Records - she met one of the others convicted of this crime in a psychiatric facility

Eight years of searching
* newspaper articles and speaking to the journalist
* talking to neighbors, friends, relatives, co-workers
* corresponding with jurors on the case

We corresponded to the others convicted in the crime - all to prove our friend innocent.

What we proved was our friend is even more guilty than the crime she is serving time in prison for. We believe that she planned and almost succeeded at killing one of her partners in the crime.

Then our friend proved that she was never our friend. Once she got wind that people were doubting her innocence she attacked sending letters threatening to contact members of our families to tell them anything degrogatary we may have said over the years about them. She threatened to send former inmates to "take care" of the pen pals. Finally, she claimed that one of the pen pals owed her money, when asked for a detailed account of the supposedly owed funds she wasn't able to do that.

Our journey made us question the legal system's handling of cases, records and people.

Not wanting to put people through the nightmare this was again, we have changed the names.
