The Texas housewife who killed her friend with an axe 45 years ago now works as a mental health counsellor in Georgia, helping families navigate their problems, whilst her own dark past remains buried.
Candy Montgomery, now 75, struck Betty Gore 41 times with a three-foot wood-splitting axe on Friday, 13 June 1980, in the utility room of the Gore family home in Wylie, Texas. She was acquitted after claiming self-defence, sparking outrage that continues to this day.
