Part 1 of 2. On a night in late April of 1989, 20-year-old Elizabeth Campbell and her boyfriend had a disagreement about studying. It turned into a full-blown argument, and Elizabeth stormed off on foot from his Killeen home, heading back to her home in Lampasas, some 28 miles away. A short time later, she called her boyfriend from a 7-11 store in Copperas Cove, a town in between Lampasas and Killeen, and the two argued again. After hanging up, she called home, but no one answered. Elizabeth was never seen again.

If you have any information about the disappearance of Elizabeth Ann Campbell, please call the Copperas Cove Crime Stoppers at (254) 547-1111 or Bell County Crime Stoppers at (254) 526-8477.

You know those messages that you get all the time, the ones that pop up out of nowhere? They could be real, but something about them seems fishy. You likely dismiss these texts and emails as mere annoyances, thinking you’ve stopped some random stranger from ripping you off. But the shocking truth is, the person behind that message might be trapped inside a “scam factory” on the other side of the world and forced to scam others against their will. From Wondery, comes a new series about the brutal reality behind these operations, where one family discovers a horrifying truth: the only way out is to scam their way out.

Part 4 of 4. Beginning in 1967, a series of murders in Fort Worth that had at least a few similarities began. Their obvious similarity: they all took place in the month of February. The first four were as follows: Mildred May in 1967, Becky Martin in 1973, Carla Walker in 1974, and June Ward in 1977. The murders became known by some members of law enforcement, and certainly to the press, as the February Slayings. This episode is about the fifth in this series, the 1983 murder of Christy Tower...and another that was never mentioned alongside the others, the 1986 murder of Hillside Jane Doe.

If you have any information about the 1979 murder of Susan Boatman Kilgore, the 1983 murder of Christy Jean Tower, or the 1986 slaying of Hillside Jane Doe, please contact the Fort Police Department Cold Case Unit at 817 392 4307.

Ten years after the first so-called February Slaying took place, that of Mildred May, another young woman was taken. The fourth victim in this series of crimes, 26-year-old June Ward, presumably had car trouble. It isn’t known if someone posing as a “Good Samaritan” came along, or if June set out on foot looking for help and met with foul play. It is known that her murder was, perhaps, the most brutal out of the February Slayings. June left behind a family who loved her, including an 8-year-old son, and friends who adored her. Over the years, and although the Fort Worth Police Department kept quiet about a majority of the goings-on in June Ward’s case, new possibilities have arisen, from stranger to someone close to her.

If you have any information about the murder of June Ward, please contact Fort Worth police department cold case unit at 817-392-4307.

Six years after the February 1967 slaying of Mildred May, 21-year-old Becky Martin disappeared. All she left behind were school papers scattered across the parking lot of Tarrant County Junior College and a car that showed definitive signs of a struggle. Though the Fort Worth Police wanted to wait 72 hours before any intensive search took place, Becky’s husband David, with the help of the top lawman from the suburb where he lived, looked everywhere they could think of for the young woman. It wasn’t until 7 weeks later that Becky Martin’s body would be found in a culvert in rural Tarrant County.

If you have any information about the murder of Becky Martin, please contact Fort Worth police department cold case unit at 817-392-4307.

With several other murders to follow, the series of Fort Worth crimes dubbed “The February Sl@yings” by newspaper reporters began in 1967 with victim Mildred May. When her husband left for Dallas on the night of February 3rd, 1967, Mildred had planned to stay in to nurse her headache. The ailment, however, must have passed, since she was seen at El Matador Club in West Fort Worth that night. After that, presumably, her car broke down and Mildred headed to a payphone on foot to get help. On February 4th, her body was found several miles away on a Trinity River levee. She’d been badly beaten, r@ped, and str@ngled. If the cope were ever close to finding Mildred May’s k!ller, they never let on to the public.

If you have any information about the murder of Mildred May, please contact Fort Worth police department cold case unit at 817-392-4307.

Part 9 of 9. Long after a Fort Worth Police special homicide task force was formed to investigate the murders of more than a dozen women and girls had come and gone, advancements in DNA technologies solved several area crimes. But none the task force was created to solve. Madmen such as Lucky Lamon Odom, Glen Samuel McCurley, Juan Meza Segundo, and Curtis Don Brown were identified as local killers, but are they also responsible for murders in which they weren’t convicted?  

If you have any information about any of the victims discussed in this series, please call the Fort Worth Police Cold Case Unit at (817) 392-4307.

Among the names on the list of cases assigned to the Fort Worth Special Homicide Task Force in the mid-1980s were Lisa Griffin and Ginger Hayden, two young women who, at their core, weren’t incredibly different from one another. Their deaths – though at the hands of violence – were very different, however, in almost every way imaginable. Their cases, too, would ultimately prove to be dissimilar. Lisa’s case was solved in a relatively short period of time, within several months, while Ginger’s took decades. In both cases, the killer was someone who was acquainted with the victims, though to much different degrees. That wasn’t the case in Terri McAdams’s murder in neighboring Arlington, a case the Fort Worth task force was keeping an eye on. Finally solved nearly 40 years after the tragedy, the madman who killed Terri, unlike in the cases of Lisa Griffin and Ginger Hayden, could easily be theorized as responsible for other area murders before her death.

If you like highly detailed and thoroughly researched podcasts, you will love DNA ID. The show has over 100 episodes available to binge on right now.

One of those episodes, episode 122, covers the case of Patricia Stichler. 

New Years’ Day 1985 should have rung in an exciting new year for Patti Stichler and her three young daughters.  Instead, in the middle of the night on January 1-2, someone slashed and stabbed Patti to death in her bedroom.  Her three girls, ages 11, 9 and 6, were in their bedrooms just feet away.  The oldest, Andrea, was the one to find her mom, and also found the most significant clue the police had – the open window in the blood-stained bathroom, and the gaping curtains that had been cut away from it. A knife sheath was found right outside, but the killer eluded police for decades.  Sylvania, OH investigators focused on people Patti knew, but could not link anyone in her inner circle to the crime. Decades later, a very complex forensic genealogy analysis that required interpreting one-sided DNA matches, piercing adoption records, and a lot of luck, finally provided a name – and it was not who anyone suspected.
