Martha McKay was found murdered on her family property in Horseshoe Lake, Arkansas. Her mother was found murdered on the same property twenty-four years earlier. .  Travis Lewis was Martha's killer--the same person  convicted in the  murder of Martha's mother and cousin when he was just fifteen years old. This case is proof that sometimes lightening does strike twice.
