Texas Mom's Faith Transformed a Notorious Serial Killer
They call him the Chameleon Killer or the Forgotten Serial Killer. He has this crazy ability to create a new name and identity and vanish into a brand-new life just as the cops are closing in. Steven Morin.
He’s as bad as they come. On the FBI’s 10 Most Wanted list, with as much as 40 victims, countless sexual assaults, and a rap sheet that reads like a horror movie script. But in the end, all that evil is no match for one Texas mom with a Bible in her hands.
Instead of panicking, instead of fighting back with fists and screaming, this brave lady does something you might not expect. She prays. Right there, she prays for him in the face of pure danger.
And believe it or not, something incredible happens. Her prayers seem to break through to him. And, maybe it’s a stroke of luck that she didn't know the whole story of the man she was dealing with.
So, Margy Palm is a woman who learned that lesson firsthand in a way that she’ll never forget. It’s December 11th, 1981. The holiday spirit is in full swing, and Margy’s wrapping up her Christmas shopping at a Kmart in San Antonio, Texas. She’s got a cart brimming with gifts, ready to surprise her husband and kids. But as she’s stashing the last of the presents into her Chevy Suburban, her holiday cheer will turn dark.
