Unanswered questions about a decades-old cold case involving a woman found in the trunk of a car destroyed a family and pushed the victim's sister to suicide.
But the deaths – especially Catherine's unresolved case – destroyed her mental state. She suffered from PTSD, gory flashbacks and hallucinations, including seeing her sister in the mirror, according to doctors' notes documented in medical records shared with Fox News Digital.
Some family members wanted to move on, but Deborah couldn't."Some wounds never truly heal until the truth is uncovered," Catrina said. "The turmoil wreaked havoc on my mom and finally flipped that switch in my decision to actively pursue justice for my aunt," she said."I'm not only fighting for justice for my aunt, but for my mom, for myself and my childhood. This wrecked my parents' marriage.
Catrina Marshall, right, with her mom, who died by suicide:"The void is gradually filled with thoughts of those wonderful moments and memories we shared over the years."The police report noted a belt was tied around her neck, her nude body was wrapped in a bedsheet with a second belt, and the level of decomposition was so bad police weren't able to note visible, superficial marks or wounds.
On March 28 this year, the Dallas police highlighted Catherine's cold case and asked for the public's help.
