That should be next week, when we may also find out whether Jodi Arias lives in this Arizona prison for a minimum of 25 years or dies here. Four years ago, she seemed to sense her fate.

And after her guilty verdict, Arias seemed almost wistful in talking to a local reporter. I believe death is the ultimate freedom, so I'd rather just have my freedom as soon as I can get it. Freedom wasn't an option for Travis Alexander. He was home in Riverside, California, His image, silent and cold, carved in stone.

And soon, we'll see if Jodi Arias gets her wish, joining three other women on Arizona's death row, and perhaps making one final headline, becoming the first woman executed in that state since 1930.

Jane Mixer was murdered in Ann Arbor, Michigan in March 1969. She was 23. About the same age her niece, Maggie Nelson, was when she resolved to learn all she could about the aunt she never knew.

Maggie's mother, Barbara, Jane's older sister by two years, admits there was a pall of silence. Why do you think that is?

But Maggie felt compelled to unravel the mystery surrounding Jane. I was often called her name, but I didn't know much about her. She went to the public library and pored over old newspaper reports, finally learning the details of her aunt's death. Back home, she dug up some of Jane's diaries and began to read. This is from Jane's journal in 1966.

Maggie discovered that Jane was high school valedictorian. Over the objections of school officials, she had given a fiery graduation speech, calling for social justice. She went on to the University of Michigan and was committed to changing the world.

Maggie also tracked down Phil Weitzman, one of the people closest to Jane in 1969, when she was one of just 37 female law students in a class of 420.
