b'29-year-old Janine Johnson and 39-year-old Stephen Taylor had a good thing going. Their romance had blossomed into a full-blown commitment and Stephen had developed an extremely close friendship and bond with Janine\\u2019s 11-year-old son. They lived a quiet and relatively unassuming life in the city of Ferris, Texas \\u2013 a place that was also quiet, unassuming, and safe. But in March of 2009, Stephen and Janine were slain in one of the most brutal and methodical crimes Ferris had ever seen. The murder scene, in fact, suggested that whoever killed the couple had done it before. The police were stumped and left to wonder if Janine and Stephen were murdered as the result of a case of mistaken identity.
