This is the chilling story of how Mother’s Day played a frighteningly significant role in the life of one woman. Gina Spann’s father walked out on her, her mom and siblings on Mother’s Day. Her three-month-old daughter died on Mother’s Day. And she had an illicit sexual relationship with a teenage schoolboy who – with three friends – murdered Gina’s husband, Gulf War hero Kevin Spann… on Mother’s Day. The way Gina Spann’s life weaved in and out of murder and mayhem on Mother’s Day is truly riveting.
