Another story of senseless murder, this time from the Lone Star State.
A Texas mother of three was reportedly found dead over the weekend after her ex-husband allegedly shoved her into an SUV.
Melissa Banda, 37, was allegedly kidnapped Thursday by Richard Ford, 40, and her body was found in a rural area of Hidalgo County one day later, KRGV reported.
Ford was arrested late Thursday after witnesses reported seeing him force his wife into the vehicle. On Saturday, he was charged with aggravated kidnapping.
The victim had an order of protection against her ex-husband. Sadly, an order of protection only work if the subject of the order is willing to obey it.
Ford has had previous run-ins with the law. He has arrests for prior assaults and a 2002 conviction for attempted murder. The attempted murder conviction put him in prison for eight years.
Melissa Banda left behind three children, who are 6, 10 and 12 years old.
Richard Ford is being held in the Hidalgo County jail. Bond is set at $2.5 million.
