What would you do to ensure that your child made their school’s athletic team? Well, in 1991, in Channelview, Texas, thirty-six- year-old mother of two, Wanda Holloway, was charged with solicitation of capital murder after she allegedly hired a hitman to try and kill the mother of her thirteen-year-old daughter’s cheerleading rival. However, her hire to murder plot would be ruined after police were informed of her plan. So, was Wanda Holloway a mentally unstable woman or was she vicariously living through her daughter which caused her to cross over the line of sanity and into a killer?
