Did Anna Benson Kill Someone?

Deadspin has unearthed a 1996 murder case involving Anna Benson's apartment in Knoxville, TX. Benson, who at that time was Anna Warren, was living in a dirty apartment that had "anti-cop graffiti and satanic messages," such as "666," "187," and “The only good pig is a dead pig.” One day, an argument with a man named Micheal Evans led Warren to tell her live-in boyfriend Paul Dejongh to "get rid of him." On January 22, police found Evans face down by her front door, with two bullet holes in the back of his head.
The two fled, and Benson was captured two years later; Dejongh was captured two months after her. Dejongh pleaded guilty to second degree murder in a plea deal, and charges were dropped against Benson since there's no evidence "get rid of him" meant murder. Later that year, Anna met Kris Benson.
If any of this sounds familiar, it might be because the case was aired on "America's Most Wanted."
