Speaker 1
The scented candles were lit. The jacuzzi jets turned on high. It was a belated anniversary evening but not some big blowout. Sandra and Jamie really weren't that kind of couple.
Speaker 4
They were just always so kind to each other and always very respectful.
Speaker 1
It was really the start of a life victory lap for the two. They'd raised a daughter, juggled all the usual things that families do, and now retirement for Jamie was right around the corner.
Speaker 2
They sat there and they talked about the future and what they were looking forward to.
Speaker 1
But the future for these two would last no longer than the flame on that candle. By the next afternoon there would be blood. Lots of it. Somehow someone had turned a cozy celebration into a monstrous crime scene. It was just it was horrible. What in the world had happened in that house?
Speaker 4
I have no idea.
Speaker 1
The story of the two begins as high school meet cute. Sandra, the new girl from Laredo, assigned a seat in her Houston classroom just in front of Jamie Malgar. Their daughter Liz doesn't know how many times she heard that story. He used to
Speaker 2
pull on her hair. I love class. Who's
Speaker 1
this guy behind me pulling in my hair? Yeah, apparently one
Speaker 2
time he invited her ice skating and he told her a bunch of friends were going so it wouldn't really be a date. When she shows up there it's him and one of his friends and his friend left shortly after that. So a little bit of a scheme going. Yeah a little bit but you know it ended well.
