About this ebook
A San Antonio woman’s baffling disappearance leads police to suspect her husband of murder in this dramatic true crime exposé.
Susan McFarland was a vivacious, successful mother of three young sons. On November 25, 2002, she disappeared. Three days later, her car was found, keys in the ignition. Later that day, her husband reported her missing—and a desperate search began.
Her friends and family hoped against hope that Susan was not gone forever. But investigators became increasingly suspicious of Richard McFarland. When the charred, decomposed body of Susan McFarland was finally discovered at an overgrown farmstead outside of San Antonio, a new hunt began—for justice.
McFarland maintained his innocence, and investigators only had circumstantial evidence against him. While headlines screamed out new details in the case, and police tried to gather more evidence, a blockbuster trial was about to begin. Then, Richard McFarland finally spoke . . . and a terrifying, chilling truth came out . . .

Interesting read. So sad that this happened - there were warning signs but as so often occurs, no-one paid attention. I can't believe that they allowed a plea bargain where he will be allowed to apply for parole in 20 years. It was cold, calculating, premeditated murder. Hope the children have been able to find peace and happiness.
