Florence Marie White, a 49-year-old woman from Pecan Valley, Texas, was found dead on August 17, 1999. Her death was ruled a homicide, prompting a local investigation that rattled the small community.

Authorities arrested Florence’s ex-husband, Anton Bennie Jalowy, in connection with her death. The two had married June 29, 1993, and divorced January 24, 1997; Anton was reported to have been 62 years old at the time of the divorce. Investigators and witnesses described a tumultuous marriage and frequent arguments, and testimony at trial outlined prior violent behavior by Anton.

Prosecutors charged Anton with capital murder, arguing the killing was premeditated and motivated by revenge and control. The defense argued self-defense; the jury convicted Anton of capital murder and sentenced him to life imprisonment without the possibility of parole.

If anyone knew Florence or witnessed tensions between her and Anton, please share information that could shed more light on what led to this killing.
