Lester Holt

What had been going on in your life and what did she say had been going on in hers?

That's a lot.

What kind of questions did you have when she told you that her husband had been convicted of murder?

Did she tell you what had happened?

A few years after Delbert was convicted, Allison left Texas with her three daughters and started over in central Illinois.

She had a new life and a new name.

She was now Allison Salinas, remarried to a contractor named Patrick Salinas.

Allison had gone to college and was active in her new community in Greater Peoria.

I'm going to talk about a few things going on.

She hosted a political podcast.

And she told James she had political aspirations herself.

She made a primary run for the U.S.

Senate, trying to get on the Republican ticket.

Alison was running for U.S.

Senate?

What did she tell you about that?

The local news covered a series of rallies Alison organized to support police.

We need to bring out the human side of these cops to show them they're just like us.

They're no different than us.

The campaign ended before she could get on the ballot.
