She was married and had started a successful business. But, Martha's relationship with her husband, Jeffrey, was troubled. She became depressed and started taking a cocktail of anti-depressants and painkillers. She also started looking elsewhere for companionship. In 2004, she met three younger Hispanic men after a fireworks display in downtown Nashville and took them to a hotel where they continued the "party." Martha began a relationship with one of them, Rafael de Jesus Rocha-Perez. She separated from Jeffrey and moved into an extended stay hotel with Rafael. But, Jeffrey was determined to patch things up and convinced her to move back. She agreed, but she didn't return alone. Rafael secretly took up residence in the guest bedroom closet and managed to go unnoticed by Jeffrey, who worked long hours and rarely went into that part of the house. But, on Sunday April 10, 2005, Jeffery heard snoring coming from the closet and found the unwanted houseguest. Almost 24 hours later, Martha called police to report a murder. When police arrived at the scene, they found Jeffrey's corpse soaking wet on the bathroom floor with a black plastic bag tied around his head. Martha and Rafael were tried together, and each pointed the finger at the other. But, neither convinced the jury. They were both convicted of first-degree murder in September 2006 and sentenced to life in prison. Written by Anonymous See less
