In November of 1994,33-year-old Farah Fratta, a beloved mother of three was executed in her own driveway in Texas receiving shots to the head by an unidentified gunman. As the murder gained attention, suspicion would begin mounting on Robert Fratta, Farah’s estranged husband and the father of their children. The authorities would use phone records and witness testimony to uncover a sinister murder-for-hire plot that ended with Farah’s murder. Robert Fratta maintained his innocence until the time of his execution. So, was this a sinister mind that hired a hit on his wife, or a man wrongfully convicted?
