This all unfolded around the time of Hurricane Harvey.
Crystal McDowell, a Baytown realtor and mother of two, vanished right before the storm.
Her body was found about a month later in a wooded area near her home in west Chambers County.
Prosecutors said her ex-husband confessed to strangling her while their children were nearby, but he pleaded not guilty and is now on trial.
