Why would anyone want to watch this cock and bull story I don’t know. Anyone can concoct a story when the person is not around to defend herself, Anyone who really new Selena knows her name sells, Shame on you Mrs Auther. And who on earth would believe the words of her slayer and coward who shot her in the back, years ago she would have hung for the act of cowardice, And has for the so called packed case let’s not forget this murderer had keys to Selena’s house and her and Chris had not long been back from Nevada. I really have concoctions put together by two money grabbing liers .
