Her Best Friend Tried to Stop It — Nobody Listened

Her best friend saw the warning signs — paranoia, no sleep, hearing and seeing things that weren't there. Frances Ramos even got police involved, provided a CPS case number, and begged officers at a Walmart to intervene. They walked away. Days later, Marlene Vidal's two children were found dead inside a burning car in San Antonio, and Marlene was arrested for capital murder. KSAT's own photojournalist sat down with Frances in the Rio Grande Valley to hear the heartbreaking story of what she witnessed — and what she wishes someone had done differently.
