The exotic 34-year-old brunette was living very comfortably, thanks to her generous, and married, lover Daniel Willoughby. In February of 1991, Dan's wealthy wife was brutally murdered while on vacation in Mexico. Arizona authorities opened their own investigation, suspicious of husband Dan and his mistress. While delving into the murder, cops uncovered Yesenia's big secret: she was a transsexual. Not even her lover knew that she had been born a man. When Yesenia was arrested, she admitted that she had helped Dan kill his wife so she could start a new life with him. Yesenia delivered the testimony that put Dan on death row. For her involvement, Yesenia was sentenced to 35 years in a Mexican prison. Five years later, Yesenia claimed that she had committed the murder on her own. At Dan's retrial, however, Yesenia reverted to her original story, landing Dan behind bars for two life sentences. Yesenia remains in prison. Written by Anonymous See less
