In May 2001, 30-year-old U.S. Army Captain Lynn Armstrong Reister, six months pregnant and stationed at Fort Bliss in El Paso, Texas, was found brutally murdered in her home: her throat deeply slashed, and her unborn child lost with her.

Investigators uncovered a chilling conspiracy: her husband Roger Reister and his brother Rodney Reister allegedly planned her killing so that Roger could avoid divorce, retain custody of their son, and benefit from life insurance proceeds. A bloody palm print at the scene matched Rodney’s.

Both brothers were eventually convicted, Roger received life in prison for solicitation of murder, and Rodney was found guilty of murder
