When beloved Houston attorney James Campbell and his wife Virginia were found murdered in their bed, the crime stunned the city’s elite. There was no forced entry, no sign of a struggle—and no clear motive. But as police dug deeper into the family’s complicated dynamics, all signs pointed to someone close. What followed was a years-long investigation, a stunning undercover operation, and one of the most bizarre true crime stories to ever come out of Texas. This is the story of the Campbell family murders—and the woman who helped bring their killers to justice.
