She Forgave The Man Who K*lled Her Mother, Hired Him To Work In The Same House It Happened, And He Killed Her Too

Martha McKay bought the lakeside mansion where her mother was m*rdered and turned it into a bed and breakfast. She named it Snowden House, after her grandparents who originally built it.

The man who k*lled her mother, Travis Lewis, was 16 years old when he did it. He pleaded guilty and went to prison. Martha wrote him letters. She visited him. She advocated for his parole while her own family begged her to stop.

She was Buddhist. She believed in redemption. When Lewis got out, she hired him to work the property and gave him a place to live.

She fired him after he stole $10,000. Days later, he broke in and st*bbed and bludgeoned 63-year-old Martha to d*ath at the top of her marble staircase.

Same house. Same k*ller. 23 years apart.
