Chris Ross, cousin of Barton McNeil, lives in San Diego and is an unwavering advocate for his innocence. For thirteen years there were no breaks to reverse the fate that had befallen a loving father no person can imagine. Then in September 2011 his violent estranged girlfriend Misook Nowlin Wang, always the known second leading suspect in his daughter’s 1998 murder, returned to Bloomington and strangled to death her mother-in-law in a macabre premediated murder. A murder in which she buried her mother-in-law at a post-midnight hour in the presence of her 5-year-old son. She exacted revenge against her husband Don Wang for having an extramarital affair just as she avenged Barton 13 years earlier for breaking up with her leaving her the classic woman scorned.
