Gone Cold - Texas True Crime

On Friday, July 9th, 2021, a second pretrial hearing was held in the State of Texas v Glen Samuel McCurley to decide what evidence would be allowed at the accused’s trial, specifically the DNA evidence. I attended and this episode is a summary of the motions to suppress filed by McCurley’s defense team, the State’s response, Judge Elizabeth Beach’s decisions, and a few other things outside the hearing.

Also, at the top of the episode are two overdue updates – one for the 1973 Harlingen, Texas murder of Candy Mora, and the other concerning Briuna Harps, innocent victim of a drive by shooting in south Fort Worth in 2019.

The investigation into the murder of 28-year-old Jennifer Harris of Bonham, Texas was virtually cold from the get-go. Besides the jurisdictional issues and lack of leads in the case, some evidence was damaged and most lost. The turnaround rate at the Fannin County Sheriff’s Office certainly didn’t help matters either. The rumor mill, too, hindered the investigation. But there were always two suspects, and though some believe one was the most likely, the other, it could be argued, seems just as likely. The multiple agencies who have investigated Jennifer’s murder, however, have yet to turn over enough evidence to charge either man. Part 2 of 2.

If you have any information about the murder of Jennifer Lenette Harris in Bonham, Texas, please call the Fannin County Sheriff’s Office at (903)583–2143.

On Mother’s Day 2002, 28-year-old Jennifer Harris disappeared from Bonham, Texas after spending the evening with a close friend. Though she didn’t say with who or where, Jennifer told her friend as she was leaving just before 8 PM that she had to meet up with someone. Her Jeep was found the following day. Six days after that, Jennifer Harris’s body was found floating in the Red River, on the Texas / Oklahoma border. After issues with jurisdiction and virtually no evidence, the case was almost immediately cold. Autopsy results had the town of Bonham and Fannin County talking, and a love triangle only further complicated the case. Part 1 of 2.

On January 24th, 1969, one of Gregg County, Texas’s most cold-blooded and savage murders occurred: that of 17-year-old Longview High School senior Leslye Diane Koon. The slaying prompted one of the city’s most extensive and intensive investigations in its history. What you might call a taskforce was created that included the Gregg County Sheriff’s Office, the District Attorney’s Office, and Longview Police Detectives, who were on loan out of their jurisdiction. Upon the discovery of a life insurance policy in Leslye’s name, the District Attorney identified three suspects who were charged, indicted, and tried for the murder. But the case remains unsolved to this day – and hasn’t been mentioned since.

If you have any information about the 1969 murder of Leslye Diane Koon, please contact Gregg County Crime Stoppers at 903-236-STOP.

Many extensive searches failed to locate 70-year-old retired Dallas Fire Fighter Michael Glen Chambers after he disappeared from his home, presumably, in Hunt County, Texas. With no clues, the Chambers family was riddled with uncertainty, and the actions of one family member raised the suspicions of some. Meanwhile, the Hunt County Sheriff’s Office was coming to their own theories, which differed from the family’s theory and that of the private investigator they hired. When all the pieces of the puzzle were put together, however, massive holes can be found in each; No scenario, when the facts are gathered in their entirety, makes sense.

If you have any information about the disappearance of Michael Glen Chambers, please contact the Hunt County Sheriff’s Office at 903-453-6838.

In March of 2017, 70-year-old retired Dallas Fire Fighter Michael Glen Chambers was added to a dark list in Hunt County, Texas: a list of unusual and mysterious disappearances. Michael was well-loved and highly respected in the community of Quinlan, not only for his past as a fireman and paramedic but also for his activity in the church and his talent for restoring classic muscle cars. The man had no enemies and the day he was last seen started out as a normal one. The way it ended, however, was anything but normal, and the blood found in Michael’s workshop alluded to possible foul play...or perhaps something else entirely.

If you have any information about the disappearance of Michael Glen Chambers, please contact the Hunt County Sheriff’s Office at 903-453-6838.

Othram Incorporated CEO David Mittelman joins us to tell the story of the January 1995 rape and slaying of 31-year-old elementary school teacher Mary Catherine Edwards. The case went unsolved for 26 years, most of which it remained cold but certainly not forgotten. In April of 2021, thanks to a collaborative effort by the Beaumont Police, the Texas Rangers, authorities in Ohio, and Othram Incorporated, Catherine’s killer was identified, arrested, and charged for her murder. Her killer, Clayton Bernard Foreman, had a prior rape on his record that shared similarities. It seems the likelihood is strong that Foreman, a violent and seemingly unapologetic offender, is responsible for more similar crimes.

If you have any information about Mary Catherine Edwards’s case or about her killer, Clayton Bernard Foreman please call the Beaumont Police at 409-832-1234.

Juan Leon Laureles was only 30 years old when he was shot execution style on the side of a small gravel road just east of Brownwood, Texas in May of 1996 – his 1988 Ford Thunderbird ablaze. Few theories have been floating around since that terrible, tragic day. The Brown County Sheriff’s department has theirs but won’t acknowledge that there might be a better one: a theory that actual makes sense and seems to better fit the known facts – that the slaying was an act of hate. But, of course, there are other plausible theories and some recent information that allows for even more speculation. Still though, with the climate of hate towards the gay and lesbian community, among other groups, in Brown County and the city of Brownwood, the possibility that Leon’s murder was a hate crime is extremely possible and plausible. Did the Sheriff’s Department investigation lag because Leon Laureles was gay? It certainly seems that way. Part 2 of 2.

If you have any information on the 1996 murder of Juan Leon Laureles, please contact the Brown County Sheriff’s Office at 325-646-5510.
