Ark. Woman Befriended Mom's Killer Out of 'Spiritual Obligation' — and then He Murdered Her
Martha McKay was kind to Travis Lewis, who was convicted and released after he killed her mother and cousin in 1996
Befriending your mother's murder, jflKnowing how forgiving McKay was, family and friends were still shocked when she befriended him after he went to prison (Lewis was sentenced to 28 ½ years after pleading guilty).
I don't have enough to convey the stupidy of keeping $10k on your property while you hire the man who murdered your mother and cousin.When Lewis was finally released on parole in 2018, McKay quietly gave him a job doing work on the property, Hutton says.
But before her death, she fired him. Police had heard about a theft at McKay's house before her murder, says Crittenden County Chief Investigator Todd Grooms. After she died, Hutton read in her diary that she'd sold a chandelier for $10,000 cash, which she stashed in the house.
Travis happened to be there that day, says Hutton. “Then the money vanished. She fired him after the money disappeared,” she says.
