McCamey, Texas. A town of less than two thousand people, out in the scorching Texas desert, where downtown is a stretch of black road with marginally more buildings on either side. McCamey is the type of town that lies, more or less, entirely forgotten by the rest of the United States, down in the deep heat of Texas. It was in McCamey, in 1940, that Gary Mark Gilmore was born. Gilmore would have, perhaps, gone one to live and die a completely unnoticed life if circumstances had been different. As it stands, Gary Mark Gilmore would gain fame through his life for being the first person sentenced to death in the United States in nearly ten years for the crimes that he committed.

Law enforcement do not often look to older women when they are seeking out suspects. For two decades, this fact kept Tamara Samsonova off the radar of police investigators. In photographs, she's a thin, frail woman with a mess of blond-brown hair and watery brown eyes. The wrinkles on her face and hands and reminiscent of any innocent old woman off the street. Tamara Samsonova looks as benign as the old woman next door who used to let you play in her yard when you were a child. The shocking reality of Tamara Samsonova, however, is much darker and more twisted than investigators and the general public could possibly imagine. The media took to calling her "The Granny Ripper", and the nickname is not unwarranted.

"Paranoid" is the term often ascribed to those who believe that others are out to get them. Society doesn't tend to take these fears seriously, especially when it comes from someone who doesn't lead a dangerous life. After all, there aren't many people who can definitively say that there are people plotting to do them great harm. But for one Washington woman, the gut feeling that someone was planning her death was more than just paranoia. In fact, it was intuition. Unfortunately, it was familial loyalties and ties that kept her from acting on that intuition in order to stop the grim tragedy that was about to unfold...Long before the fateful afternoon of March 3rd, 2011, a woman by the name of Judy Herbert spoke to her ex-husband, as well as several of her friends, and expressed worry and fear that her daughter was trying to kill her. It seemed that in the weeks leading up to March 3rd, Judy Herbert would tell anyone who would listen that something was amiss in her life and that it was her daughter who was behind it. To some, these worries might have felt blown out of proportion. After all, what would drive someone's adult daughter to murder them?
