SAN ANTONIO – Thieves had already stolen from Virginia Jeffreys' South San Antonio trailer twice. The third time someone came to her home, Jeffrey's did not survive.
San Antonio police believe Jeffreys was in her home at 1515 Mission Road on Oct. 15, 1995, when it was burglarized. Thieves struck again the next day -- most likely, police said, with Jeffreys again inside.

Jeffreys was found by a neighbor who called police on Oct. 17 after finding her body and seeing the trailer ransacked.
