Jayne Peters, the mayor of an affluent Dallas suburb, killed her daughter Corinne in their home in Coppell, Tex., before committing suicide.
COPPELL, Texas -- When police arrived at a suburban Dallas mayor's sprawling upscale home, they quickly realized something was very wrong. Rather than attend a City Council meeting, Mayor Jayne Peters had apparently taped an envelope to the door with a key and an ominous note inside.
