Toni Jo Henry (above) didn’t have an easy start in life. According to Capital Punishment U.K., she was born Annie Beatrice McQuiston near Shreveport, Louisiana, and was the middle of five children. Henry’s mother died when she was young, prompting her father to remarry. Henry was not a fan of the new living arrangement and wanted to go live with an aunt. Sadly, she was beaten by her father, prompting her to leave home in her early teens.

Henry fell into a world of crime, drugs, and sex work. She was working at a brothel when she met a man named Claude “Cowboy” Henry. According to the Texarkana Gazette, Henry was a former boxer who after leaving the ring found himself living a life of crime. The two fell in love and Cowboy Henry seems to have treated Toni Jo well. She was in the clutches of drug addiction when they met, but upon marrying, the couple moved to California, a move intended to help Toni Jo kick her addiction.

However, almost immediately upon returning to Texas from their west coast sojourn, Cowboy was arrested for a murder he had committed before the couple had married. He received a 50-year sentence for his crime. Toni Jo was still madly in love with Cowboy Henry and began hatching a plan to break him out of jail.

If you or anyone you know is struggling with addiction issues, help is available. Visit the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration website or contact SAMHSA’s National Helpline at 1-800-662-HELP (4357).
