EL PASO, Texas -- Gloria Marmolejo, a 54-year-old mom and grandmother, was found dead in the southern New Mexico desert in the summer of 2009. Her family pleaded for the community’s help to find whoever murdered her. But El Paso police investigators believed her son, David, killed his mother. And they learned he was hiding other secrets big enough to destroy his family.
