Elizabeth Pena and Jennifer Ertman were friends who went to Waltrip High School in Houston. They were both abducted and murdered. The case spurred legislative reform in Texas' criminal justice system. Family members are now allowed to address the convicted, and victims' families now have the choice and right to view the execution of their perpetrators. The graves of Elizabeth Pena and Jennifer Ertman are about 200 yards apart in Woodlawn Garden of Memories Cemetery. Corey Mitchell's book "Pure Murder," which details the story of the killings of Elizabeth Pena and Jennifer Ertman, was released in 2008 and became a best seller.
