PROSECUTOR ORDERS BROKEN-HEARTED MOM TO SORT CRIME PHOTOS OF DISMEMBERED DAUGHTER

Breanna Wood is last seen at a convenience mart, after texting her mother she was on her way home. 

When she doesn't show, her mother, Fallon, files a missing person report. Months later,  Breanna Wood's dismembered body is found inside a two-foot square box.   

Seven people are charged in the case. Not all of those charged have yet to see a jury, but as the cases are being prepped Nueces County First Asst. District Attorney, Angelica Hernandez, came to Fallon Wood for help sorting through pre-trial evidence in the case against the man accused of actually murdering Breanna.  

Wood was put into a room with boxes of evidence related to her daughter's case, including crime scene photos. For three days, Wood sat on the floor sorting all the interviews, photos, and more. Some videos Wood was allowed to take home.  

The family's access to the evidence creates many problems. Claims of tampering could be levied and could lead to Fallon Wood being disqualified as a witness in her daughter's murder.
