Crystal Shaw had a promising future- a beautiful, baby boy, a new career as a licensed dental hygenist.
But Shaw's bright future abruptly turned ugly Monday night, when police arrested her on capital murder charges.
Shaw and two other suspects- Frederick Odom and Travis "TC" Golden, are accused of robbing three men at a mobile home park on County Road 12 near Foley.
One of the victims was shot and killed, another shot in the chest. The third victim was badly beaten. Shaw, Odom and Golden are being held in the Baldwin County Corrections Center.
We talked to Crystal's parents- who live in South Florida.
Perry and Carolyn Shaw say Crystal got involved with the wrong crowd and turned to a life of crime- including drugs and prostitution.
The Shaw's say in September- Crystal- who was heading deeper into a dark world of drug addiction- told them she could no longer care for her one-year old son, Landon.
The Shaw's have hired an attorney and will ask a judge to give them custody of their grandson.
