In 1989, a four-year-old girl was rushed to a Texas hospital.

An artery in her leg was completely severed.

The little girl died shortly after arrival.

Medical investigators believe the leg wound was no accident.

Emory, Texas, is a small farming community about 90 miles east of Dallas.

With a population of less than 1,000, life is simple here.

Peaceful and quiet.

In 1988, Debbie Lovelace entered two daughters from a previous marriage, Amy and April moved in with John Miller.

He too was divorced and worked in the construction industry.

My marriage was John was good. He was a very good man.

Took care of me and the kids were well.

And we had a happy home life.

We had a lot of fun together, the children.

We did a lot of things with the children. We didn't leave them home.

We went somewhere as we took them with us.

And had a family, a very close-knit family, really.

John, Debbie and the two girls moved on to a five-acre farm just a few miles outside of town.

It was complete with a house, barn, horses, and family pets.

And for the children, freedom to roam and play among the beauties of nature.

For a year old April, loved living on a farm.

She loved to play outside, she loved being outside.

She liked to climb trees a lot.
