Just before he was scheduled to die by lethal injection, a death row inmate made one final request: to see his young daughter, whom he hadn’t held in three years. What she whispered in his ear would unravel a five-year-old conviction, Laura Foster had not died that night.

Laura had been in hiding for five years.Waiting.And she had recordings.Audio recordings of Michael threatening her—and of Judge Alan Brooks discussing how to “handle” Daniel and the child.

By the time Margaret arrived at a safe house outside San Antonio, she came face to face with a woman the world believed was dead.And she was ready to testify.Back in Huntsville, Daniel slept peacefully for the first time in years.He now knew what his daughter had whispered:
“Mom is alive. I saw her.”
