Fort Worth businessman Stephen Barbee was handsome, popular and married to a wonderful woman. There was just one problem: His ex-girlfriend, Lisa Underwood, was pregnant-and asking for money...As guests gathered for Lisa's baby shower with presents and good wishes, only two things were missing: Lisa and her seven-year-old son, Jayden. As time passed, friends and family became concerned. But even their worst fears couldn't compare to the gruesome truth...Lisa was at home when Barbee showed up. Voices were raised. Then fists. By the end, Lisa, her unborn child, and young Jayden were dead. But all police found was a bloody room. What followed was an investigation filled with lurid twists, a wild trial, grisly details of multiple murder, a shocking burial, and the warped motives of a man who would do anything to gain his own happiness.
