Woman Forgives Mother's Killer, Gives Him a Job, Then He Murders Her Too | Snowden House

In 1996, 16-year-old Travis Lewis shot Sally Snowden McKay and her nephew Lee Baker to death during a burglary at their Arkansas estate, then set the house on fire. Sally's daughter Martha - a devout Buddhist - chose forgiveness. She visited Travis in prison for 23 years, advocated for his parole, and when he was released in 2018, gave him a job and home at the historic Snowden House bed-and-breakfast on the same property where he'd murdered her mother.


In March 2020, Martha fired Travis for stealing $10,000. Days later, he broke into Snowden House and stabbed and bludgeoned 63-year-old Martha to death at the top of the marble staircase. When police arrived, Travis jumped from an upstairs window, his getaway car got stuck in the yard, and he drowned fleeing into Horseshoe Lake. The same man murdered mother and daughter 23 years apart on the same family estate - betraying the ultimate act of forgiveness.
