In November 2006, Dallas detectives investigated the murder of a twenty-nine-year-old mother of four, found burned beyond recognition in her car behind a remote warehouse.

After tracking down two homeless witnesses and finding a piece of crucial evidence, police were able to charge James Bartley with capital murder.
