I know the case you're talking about, but I forget the names. I'll research and try to come up with them when I get a chance.

That was one hideous case. IIRC, the parents travelled (with a carnival?) and paid the name to take their teen in so she could be in school. She was tortured horribly by both the mother and the other teens.

2 cases, really. The woman who was convicted of murdering her husband and cutting up his body, she was a nurse. And the crazy guy who mudered his friend, cut up her body (there's a theme going here) called a friend to help him and then the two of them went to Mexico. He got convicted but I don't know what happened to his friend. Does anybody know?

The nurse was called Melanie Mcquire and she was sentenced to life in prison. I've not found any information about the other case but will keep looking
