A distraught Tracy Burleson called 911 a little before 11 p.m. on May 18, 2010, crying and repeating, “Someone shot my wife.” Tracy had just returned from a quick trip to the convenience store and found his wife in the driveway of their home with a gunshot wound to the back of her head. Who would shoot Paulette Burleson, the 56-year-old wife of the pastor of one of the oldest churches in Houston? As the smoke cleared,investigators realized that things were not as they seemed, and not one, but three people whose lives were intimately entwined would be arrested for capital murder.

Around 6 PM on August 5, 2002, Pastor Michael Tabb arrived home with his two-year-old. He noticed the front door was slightly open but entered anyway. He called out for his wife, Marla, but there was no answer. He found the badly bludgeoned body of his wife clad in pajamas on their bedroom floor. Police would later note that the crime did notseem to be a robbery gone horrifyingly wrong. Nothing was stolen. Who would kill the pastor’s wife? When the police finally decided to take a closer look at the Tabb’s marriage, they would find that the good pastor did not practice the values that he preached.

With her spotty employment history and her nursing license free from infractions, because her Demerol theft hadn’t yetbeen investigated, Kimberly Saenz was unconcerned and optimistic about her new job at the Lufkin, Texas DaVita Dialysis Center. Eight months in, her training was complete, and she was finding her groove. That’s when things started to change. In April 2008, five patients would die and five more would be injured when she inexplicably injected them with bleach.
