  the story of Bill Hall jr. the trucking executive

  and millionaire, and his wife Frances Hall. And

  the mistress Bonnie. And in Texas town, Bill
• 0:59
  Hall and his young wife Start dating at the age
• 1:05
  of 16. They met in high school They knew they
• 1:14
  were destined for each other The love no one
• 1:24
  could deny After 33 years 32 years 30 years of
• 1:33
  marriage, however long it was, they were married
• 1:38
  long enough to grow tired of each other, to long
• 1:48
  for other people's attention, to want something
• 1:54
  new in their relationship. After all, they were
• 1:59
  together since they their teenage years. And
• 2:07
  after 30 years of marriage, Frances found out
• 2:12
  her husband was having a two -year -long affair.
• 2:17
  Now, this man was a thwine, not F -I -N -E, F
• 2:25
  -U -O -N -E -E -E, thwine. And He had an affair
• 2:36
  after 30 years mmm, maybe she just found out
• 2:40
  after 30 years that he was seeing somebody and
• 2:46
  his mistress is beautiful His wife is pretty
• 2:52
  too But his mistress was 20 years his senior
• 2:56
  beautiful as can be body banging And they seemed
• 3:04
  like they were in love. They had two kids together,
• 3:13
  I believe. A boy and a girl. He built his trucking
• 3:26
  company from the ground up. He was a millionaire
• 3:32
  He was boss I'm telling you he worked hard to
• 3:42
  build that company they live a life of luxury
• 3:47
  They took vacations They had it all But one fateful
• 4:03
  day His wife Francis Ran him off the road during
• 4:13
  a high -speed chase in 2013 So When she found
• 4:20
  out her husband was cheating with Bonnie It was
• 4:24
  a back -and -forth all the time She would put
• 4:27
  him out. He would go stay with his mistress Her
• 4:35
  and the mistress would get into it on the phone.
• 4:42
  But I believe this was the first time they saw
• 4:47
  each other face to face. I'm not sure about that.
• 4:52
  But Dateline has the whole story with all the
• 4:57
  truth. So this happened when she put him out.
• 5:05
  He was living with his mistress, Bonnie. And
• 5:11
  this day, her friends and family convinced her
• 5:18
  to get out and go somewhere. She happened to
• 5:24
  pass by her husband. And following behind her
• 5:31
  husband was his mistress And and she was driving
• 5:38
  there Range Rover or Escalade, I'm not sure who
• 5:46
  was driving what but Her husband was driving
• 5:54
  her Harley and Okay, yep, the mistress was driving
• 6:05
  the Range Rover Francis was driving the Escalade
• 6:11
  So he had his mistress driving the family's Range
• 6:15
  Rover And one could argue that was his because
• 6:20
  he built the company so probably was his his
• 6:23
  company's name in his name But nevertheless It
• 6:28
  was his family's Range Rover So, she was going
• 6:34
  home. She noticed her husband on his motorcycle
• 6:38
  and his mistress right behind him going the opposite
• 6:47
  way. So, Frances became enraged. She turned around
• 6:55
  and started following them. They were going about
• 7:00
  100 miles per hour. She was take chasing Bonnie
• 7:06
  At first the husband was in front of body Bonnie
• 7:12
  Bonnie passed the husband in the Range Rover
• 7:16
  the husband was on the right side of the freeway
• 7:24
  highway road and The wife Hit him Hmm did she
• 7:36
  doing on purpose I Don't know But after she hit
• 7:41
  him she did not stop she kept chasing the mistress
• 7:45
  for miles Miles Somebody called it in and said
• 7:55
  a Cadillac was chasing down a Range Rover going
• 7:59
  about 100 miles per hour the police got involved
• 8:04
  and by the time the police got involved Bonnie
• 8:08
  had turned around to see where her lover was
• 8:12
  she turned around went back to the scene actually
• 8:16
  she passed the scene because Francis was still
• 8:21
  chasing her but she saw Bill on the side of the
• 8:27
  road like clinging to life And Francis, Bill's
• 8:35
  wife, kept chasing Bonnie. She didn't even stop
• 8:41
  checking on her husband. So one would think she
• 8:44
  did it on purpose. One would think she was so
• 8:47
  furiated she was trying to get this woman. But
• 8:52
  she knew about an affair. Because she kept putting
• 8:57
  her husband out. They kept getting into it. And
• 9:00
  this final day... that she put him out. She was
• 9:06
  so enraged. I forgot what caused her rage, but
• 9:11
  she pulled his hair and started like hitting
• 9:15
  him out of anger and frustration. She was like,
• 9:21
  get out, get out. He was like, okay. He left,
• 9:26
  got on his motorcycle and waved and smiled, you
• 9:29
  know, bye. If it was... What they call... Um...
• 9:48
  What was it called? Um... When... Yo! Sudden
• 9:52
  Passion. When you act out of emotional distress
• 9:58
  caused by the husband's affair and the mistress's
• 10:02
  taunts. Sudden Passion. I don't know if it was
• 10:08
  sudden passion or just angry anger that her husband
• 10:13
  left and stayed with the mistress. The 20 year,
• 10:19
  20 year younger mistress who was gorgeous. Anyway,
• 10:30
  so... It found the husband on the side of the
• 10:42
  road. Frances finally stopped, went to the scene
• 10:48
  and tried to get to her husband. The police wouldn't
• 10:51
  let her. They put it in the car and questioned
• 10:54
  her. They took him to the hospital where he didn't
• 11:00
  make it. Man, she just... after her life chasing
• 11:09
  after a man who she knew was having an affair
• 11:14
  but she couldn't hold her emotions in so during
• 11:26
  trial the mister said his wife deliberately ran
• 11:32
  him down the road because she was so angry chasing
• 11:35
  her She didn't stop to check on him. She was
• 11:40
  so mad she kept pursuing Bonnie. And this was
• 11:47
  in San Antonio in 2013. And then the defense
• 11:54
  said Bonnie caused the death of the husband.
• 12:07
  And Francis was just an innocent victim who dealt
• 12:13
  with his cheating and the mistress' taunts. And,
• 12:31
  Sonny also said, who was the wife kept ramming
• 12:40
  the Range Rover like ramming it ramming it from
• 12:44
  behind um and the defendant said no Francis hit
• 12:57
  the Range Rover because Bonnie kept brake checking
• 13:00
  her hmm i don't know Who was at fault who ran
• 13:10
  into who? But the accident wouldn't happen if
• 13:14
  Francis wouldn't have chased Those two on the
• 13:19
  highway So, who do you think was convicted who
• 13:24
  you think was charged with the murder? The wife
• 13:29
  who was distraught After seeing her husband and
• 13:35
  the mistress riding down the road and the mistress
• 13:40
  driving the family's Range Rover or the mistress
• 13:44
  who played a part in destroying the family because
• 13:55
  she knew Bill was married and she just played
• 14:05
  along. People say she was in it for money She
• 14:10
  said she wasn't I Believe she was not because
• 14:15
  this man was fine Whoo 20 years her senior and
• 14:21
  still fine like He looked good for his age Maybe
• 14:27
  the money was a perk, but yeah, I would have
• 14:31
  dated him to not not Being married, but if I
• 14:37
  was 20 years his junior and he was single and
• 14:41
  looking like he did Oh, I would have dated him
• 14:45
  Whether he had money or not, but baby So who
• 14:50
  you think was convicted of his murder was charged
• 14:55
  with his murder Well After the jury deliberated,
• 15:07
  they charged Francis, his wife, with a murder
• 15:13
  and gave her a sentence from 5 to 99 years or
• 15:27
  life in prison. Well, I think she received life
• 15:46
  in prison, but when the jury found her guilty,
• 16:03
  her defense attorneys argued that the crash was
• 16:06
  an accident and that she acted under sudden passion.
• 16:15
  the jury did found her guilty of murder an aggravated
• 16:18
  assault with a deadly weapon but agreed she acted
• 16:21
  under sudden passion which reduced the potential
• 16:25
  sentence from five to 99 years or life in prison
• 16:28
  to a range of 220 so after she was found guilty
• 16:38
  under sudden passion francis hall received a
• 16:43
  two -year prison sentence for the murder and
• 16:48
  a concurrent two -year sentence for the aggravated
• 16:56
  assault. She was released in prison in 2018 after
• 17:02
  serving her sentence. But that's not all the
• 17:10
  crime that Francis did. Francis she was a sneaky
• 17:17
  little bitch she After she got out She was convicted
• 17:29
  of a legal matter related to the family business
• 17:35
  Francis Hall later received a 10 -year deferred
• 17:40
  adjudication sentence probation and was ordered
• 17:44
  to pay restitution for a multi -million dollar
• 17:47
  insurance fraud. She orchestrated at Bill Hargo
• 17:55
  Trucking, her husband's trucking company. She
• 18:01
  cooked up a scheme to avoid $9 million in workers'
• 18:16
  compensation premiums. She pled under plea agreement,
• 18:30
  and that's how she received the 10 years deferred
• 18:34
  adjudication, and was ordered to pay $150 ,000
• 18:39
  in restitution. person Scheme to avoid nine million
• 18:48
  dollars in workers compensation, but pay only
• 18:52
  once pay only $150 ,000 in restitution and Will
• 18:58
  undergo treatment as a probation department recommended
• 19:01
  what? Friday investigators with the Texas Department
• 19:09
  of Insurance confirmed that between 2019 and
• 19:15
  2016, Hall under -reported payroll information
• 19:19
  to Texas Mutual Insurance Company and concealed
• 19:23
  payroll reports to get a lower insurance premium
• 19:27
  on their travel hauling business. Hmm. But that's
• 19:37
  not all. There's more. There's more. In 2022,
• 19:48

• 19:55

  you some heartache, I would hire a private investigator
• 25:33
  before I get into a true relationship nowadays.
• 25:41
  Men and women kill their wives for life insurance.
• 25:47
  They kill their wives to be with their lovers.

  that's deceptive. I've heard so many stories
• 26:12
  of women or men, mainly women, Being murdered
• 26:18

  these people especially if someone Pressing you
• 27:03

• 27:18
  especially after you got engaged and What they
• 27:24
  said or they promise that they were going to
• 27:27
  do when you got married They reneged on it and
