Ashley Nicole Wilson, 19

TX, Richmond, Fort Bend Co.

January 19, 2004

Ashley was strangled to death by her boyfriend, Dan Leach II, 21. He killed her using tactics he had seen on the television show CSI to make her death appear like a suicide. As part of his scheme to hide his crime, Leach convinced Ashley to write a note detailing the parts of her life she felt the worst about so police would mistake it for a suicide note.

Despite disagreement from Wilson’s parents, her death was ruled a suicide until Leach confessed to strangling Ashley and covering up his crime. He claimed that after viewing the film The Passion of the Christ, he felt compelled to turn himself in to the authorities.

He was sentenced to 75 years in prison.
