Coppell [Texas] mayor wrote she and her daughter 'were lost, alone, and afraid' 02:45 PM CDT on Saturday, July 17, 2010 By BRANDON FORMBY / The Dallas Morning News
Coppell Mayor Jayne Peters wrote in one of the suicide notes that her 19-year-old daughter hid her pain from her friends and that mother and daughter "were lost, alone, and afraid."
But in the notes, Peters never directly addressed what caused the hurt she described or led her to kill her herself and her daughter, Corinne. She also didn't mention mounting financial problems, including the multiple times in the past year her house was posted for foreclosure.
City officials now suspect money troubles may have led her to use her city-issued credit card for personal purchases such as groceries and clothes.
