Loving father and husband, Keith Gentry, had built a beautiful family with his college sweetheart, Darlene, in Robinson, Texas. On the morning of November 9, 2005, Darlene woke to her worst nightmare when she found the back door open and her husband in bed covered in blood. Police quickly gravitated to the most obvious suspect, but they had no idea that she, herself, would lead them to the evidence they needed - hiding just beneath the surface.
