The women were both left for dead; however, Chapa miraculously pulled through and is still alive today. Many speculated that anti-gay sentiments may have been a driving factor in this crime, but it was never actually confirmed.Article continues below advertisement If this case sounds familiar, it's because it was already featured on the Dateline episode "A Texas Twist" in 2017.
