We've heard of the weird folks who become fascinated with convicts and spend endless hours corresponding with them through letters while they rot in jail. One man became so connected with a Minnesota convict that he married her behind bars. It's true love.

Jerome Harbieux, 26, married 25-year-old Olga Franco Del Cid in March. Franco Del Cid was sentenced to more than 12 years in prison for the bus crash that killed four children in Cottonwood.

The relationship started last August when Harvieux began writing her letters in prison, saying he thought she was unfairly targeted because she was an illegal immigrant.

Franco Del Cid is serving her sentence at the Minnesota Correctional Facility in Shakopee. She was convicted in February 2008 of running a stop sign in her minivan and hitting the school bus carrying the children that were killed.
