In 2010, three different hitmen tried to murder Houston socialite Yvonne Stern. Police had no idea who was trying to kill her, and each attempt got closer to killing Yvonne. She’d been shot in the abdomen during the third shooting, and it seemed the killer would keep trying when police finally got their break.
