Secrets behind a mayor's murder-suicide

From The Dallas Morning News (thanks, Erinn): The shocking crime unleashed a torrent of secrets that had been hidden behind Jayne Peters’ almost-perfect public façade.

The family’s house had almost been foreclosed on three times in the past year. Jayne Peters was about to be investigated for personal charges and unexplained expenses on a city-issued credit card. Corinne’s “graduation present” was really a rental car.

“Knowing how much she wanted to protect her from the embarrassment, shame and humiliation of their financial ruin allows those of us who knew her to understand why she took Corinne with her,” said Doug Stover, who preceded Jayne Peters as Coppell’s mayor.
