Theresa Knorr

Theresa Jimmie Francine Knorr (née Cross; born March 14, 1946) is an American woman convicted of torturing and murdering two of her six children while using the others to facilitate and cover up her crimes. She is currently serving two consecutive life sentences at the California Institution for Women in Chino, California.
==Early life and first marriage==
Knorr was born Theresa Jimmie Francine Cross in Sacramento, California. She was the youngest of two daughters born to Swannie Gay (née Myers) and James "Jim" Cross. Swannie Cross had two children, a son and a daughter, from a previous marriage. Theresa's father Jim worked as an assistant cheese maker at a local dairy and was eventually able to buy a nice home in Rio Linda, California. In the late 1950s, Jim Cross was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease which forced him to quit his job. He developed depression and reportedly took his frustrations and anger out on his family. Swannie Cross kept the family afloat financially. Theresa was reportedly very close to Swannie and was devastated when she died of congestive heart failure in March 1961. After Swannie's death, Jim Cross was unable to afford to keep the family home and sold it soon after Swannie's death.
On September 29, 1962, Theresa married Clifford Clyde Sanders, a man five years her senior whom she had met a few months prior. After the marriage, Theresa dropped out of school and became pregnant. On July 16, 1963, she gave birth to her first child, Howard Clyde Sanders.〔 Sanders' and Theresa's marriage was rocky as Theresa was possessive and repeatedly accused Sanders of infidelity. The couple argued frequently and, on June 22, 1964, Sanders punched Theresa in the face during one such argument. Theresa reported the incident to police but refused to press charges against Sanders. The assault charges were subsequently dropped. On July 6, 1964, the day after Sanders' birthday, the couple were arguing because Sanders had spent his birthday out with friends instead of at home. During the argument, Sanders informed Theresa that he was leaving her. Theresa became enraged and shot Sanders in the back with a rifle as he was walking out the door.〔
Theresa was arrested and charged with Sanders' murder to which she pled not guilty claiming she was acting in self-defense.〔 During her trial, Theresa, who was pregnant with her second child, claimed that she shot Sanders because he was a violent alcoholic who physically abused her. Several of Sanders' relatives testified that Sanders was not violent or abusive while the prosecution claimed that Theresa killed Sanders "maliciously" and "without provocation." Theresa's older sister also testified stating that Theresa was possessive and jealous and "would kill him () before any other woman could have him." She was acquitted of Sanders' murder on September 22, 1964.〔 Theresa gave birth to her second child, Sheila Gay Sanders, on March 16, 1965.
