We left off on our last blog about Dolores telling the police about Mrs. Vera dying and how her husband died. Now she is explaining why she killed him and we are going to explain the events that lead up to his murder. It all started when he hit her one day in the kidneys because she didn't have his dinner ready when he got home. Later on that evening when he started to dose off in his chair, she got a creamer from the table and hit him upside the head and busted his ear open. She had a hatchet in her hand for both protection and to threaten him. When her daughter Selena heard the glass from the creamer hit the floor, she ran into the living room and saw her mom standing over her dad with the hatchet while he was sitting in his chair holding his ear and blood dripping from his hand. After that day Selena slowly started distancing herself from her mom. Selena and her dad became very close after that night because she felt like she owed it to him because of what her mom did. Her dad turned her against her mom and told her lies of why she hit him that night. Before long she would hardly talk to her and then she started coming home from school late because she said she was at the study hall doing her homework. After that she started dressing like a tom boy and wouldn't talk to anyone! So after awhile her mom went to the school to see if she really had been doing her homework and she was. So on the way home from school that day, they were on the farry and her mom asked her what was wrong. She asked her why she wouldn't talk to anyone and why she started dressing like a tom boy. She finally got it out of her that her dad had been molesting her. When her mom found that out her husband did that to their daughter, she became very outraged. She told her husband to never touch her again and if he did, his days were numbered. She wanted to go to the bank and get out the money that she had put away for the kids college so they could get away from her husband. When she went to the bank she found out that her husband had already taken the money out of the account. She became very upset and started yelling at the guy for not notifying her that her husband took the money out.
