On January 3, 1999 the mother of 28 year old Kecia Hughes filed a Missing Person Report in Lexington Kentucky, when she had gone for three days without hearing from her daughter.

That same afternoon, police discovered Kecia deceased in her apartment that she shared with her husband.  She had apparently been deceased for some time.

This is a case that was the tragic culmination of a pattern of abuse, control and anger.  Kecia had told her friends she was going to tell her husband she was leaving him; the most dangerous moment for many victims of domestic violence.

Listen as your host David Lyons, recounts this case that he was assigned to as the lead homicide detective and learn about the suspect, a potentially valuable but failed alibi, jail-house witness statements and the appeals that followed in court.

Most importantly though, learn about who Kecia, a daughter, sister and mother was and remember her with us.
