As a blonde, beautiful and ambitious woman, she never had any trouble finding success or successful men. In fact, by the time she was 34, she had been married to two of them, and had given birth to two children by each. Her second husband was a successful divorce attorney from the nearby town of Celina. Shortly after the birth of her fourth child, her marriage began to falter and they started going through a divorce. When it turned nasty, she shot her husband. Pleading self-defence, she was acquitted in court, but the dead man's family wasn't satisfied.
