"Murder charges dropped in high-profile Seattle slaying trial"

Murder charges have been dropped against the wife and boyfriend of a woman on trial for the slaying of a Seattle woman who went missing in Dallas over three years ago. The Dallas County District Attorney's Office dismissed the charges against Nina Marano and Charles Beltran "in the interest of justice," although they still face a charge of tampering with evidence. The third suspect, Lisa Dykes, is currently on trial for murder and tampering with a corpse. The case has been marred by issues with evidence disclosure and the credibility of witnesses.
