The Unbelievable Perversions of Justice: The True Story of a Texas Cop and Wife-Killer
On July 6th, 2002, Virginia "Viki" Lozano, a schoolteacher, mother of an eleven-month-old, and the wife of a Denton, Texas, police officer, died from a gunshot wound the day after her sixteenth wedding anniversary. Her husband, Bobby, claimed that she must have been cleaning his gun and it went off, in bed, in the middle of the night, while she was lying down. Despite Bobby being a known lothario and serial adulterer, the authorities still wondered: Could one of their own, Bobby Lozano, really have committed such a crime?
In a startling twist, Viki's mother not only stood by her son-in-law, but continued to share a home with him, even after he was indicted for the murder of her own daughter. Even more shocking, the indictment was vacated when the DA, in a sworn affidavit, said that the medical examiner had changed his mind and ruled the death a suicide. Case closed.
For six long years, the case languished in limbo, until one reporter discovered that the DA's affidavit was full of lies, and her exposé blew the lid off the case. The fight to avenge Viki's brutal murder was just beginning.
The true story of this case is a harrowing tale of the unbelievable perversions of justice that nearly set a wife-killer free. It is a story of a Texas cop who, despite being a known womanizer, was almost able to evade the consequences of his actions due to a shocking betrayal by the very system that was meant to uphold the law.
The case began on that fateful night in July 2002, when Viki Lozano's life was tragically cut short. Her husband, Bobby, who was a police officer, claimed that the shooting was an accident, but the authorities were skeptical. Despite his profession, Bobby's reputation as a serial adulterer raised serious doubts about his version of events.
However, in a surprising turn of events, Viki's own mother, instead of seeking justice for her daughter's death, stood firmly by her son-in-law. She not only supported him but even continued to live with him, even after he was indicted for Viki's murder. This baffling loyalty from the victim's own family only added to the complexity of the case.
The case took an even more shocking twist when the DA, in a sworn affidavit, stated that the medical examiner had changed his mind and ruled Viki's death a suicide. With this new development, the indictment against Bobby Lozano was vacated, and the case was closed, leaving Viki's loved ones devastated and frustrated.
For six long years, the case remained in limbo, until a determined reporter decided to investigate the matter further. What she uncovered was a startling revelation: the DA's affidavit was nothing more than a web of lies, and the medical examiner had never actually changed his mind about the cause of Viki's death.
This exposé ignited a renewed effort to seek justice for Viki. The fight to avenge her brutal murder had just begun, as the true perversions of justice in this case were finally brought to light. The story stands as a sobering reminder of the importance of vigilance and perseverance in the pursuit of truth and accountability, even when the system itself seems to be working against it.
