Gone Cold - Texas True Crime

On December 23rd, 1974, just a couple days before Christmas, three girls – 17-year-old Rachel Trlica, 14-year-old Renee Wilson, and 9-year-old Julie Moseley – set out for a shopping trip. They had two destinations in mind. One was the local Army Navy surplus/discount store, where Rene would get some items out of layaway, and the other was Seminary South Shopping Center. They no doubt made it to the Army Navy, but they were never confirmed to be seen anywhere else. At a little after 4 PM, Rene’s folks began searching for the girls. Their efforts, however, were futile and Rachel, Rene, and Julie haven’t been seen since. The story is shrouded in mystery and has become woven into the fabric of Fort Worth’s history.

In April of 1987, authorities in Carter County, Oklahoma found a Watauga, Texas woman on the side of the highway barely clinging to life. She was bound with duct tape, severely beaten, and covered in the blood that had poured from the slit in her throat. The woman was Martha Martinez Maxwell. After doctors at Dallas’s Parkland Hospital saved her life, she dropped charges on the man who’d left her for dead 100 miles from home – her husband, Jeffrey Allan Maxwell. The man, too, manipulated Martha into reconciling with him. Five years later, Martha went missing under suspicious circumstances. And Jeffrey Allan Maxwell’s further crimes, at least some of them, landed him in prison for life 20 years later. The man is suspected, too, in other unsolved Texas disappearances and homicides.

In January of 2019, in far south Boerne, Texas, a Bexar County 911 dispatcher received a call. There’d been a suicide, the caller said. Three people – Nichol Olsen and her daughters Alexa and London – were shot to death in a home belonging to Nichol’s boyfriend. The deaths were later ruled a murder-suicide but as friends of Nichol Olsen began speaking out, that ruling became questionable. The Bexar County Sheriff agreed. Fifteen years prior to those deaths, in 2004, probation officer Beth Hicks was killed outside her home just beyond the Boerne city limits as she left for work – struck in the head with a blunt object. Though the probationers she supervised were scrutinized, over 100 of them, Kendall County Sheriff’s Officer could never identify a suspect.

On the morning of April 16th, 2003, United States Air Force Col Philip Michael Shue left his home in Boerne, Texas to head to work at Lackland Air Force base in San Antonio. Col Shue never made it work and instead died in a strange car crash. What Kendall County Sheriff’s Deputies would find at the scene of the wreckage was bizarre. Officially ruled a suicide, a judge would later order that Col Shue’s death be changed to homicide.

They were many miles apart. The investigations and the immediate suspects, or lack thereof, of each case starkly different. But the disappearances of Amber Crum in 1983, Angelica Gandara in 1985, and Ara “Neecee” Johnson in 1986 became connected many years after the children vanished when a child rapist and murderer implicated himself in each case.

At the end of July 2011, the small towns of Fannett and Hamshire, just southwest of Beaumont, Texas, became the center of an ongoing mystery. Sharon West, a 14-year-old girl who was at her Dad’s for the summer, vanished. For three months there was absolutely no trace of the teenager but at the end of October, Sharon’s remains were found not far from where she is last thought to have been. Her body was completely skeletonized and there were no tell-tale signs of foul play on her bones. The Jefferson County Medical Examiner struggled to rule on Sharon’s cause of death. Investigators for the Sheriff’s Department, too, were finding no clues as to what happened to Sharon West...and they’re no closer to finding answers today.

The year 1976 was shaping up to be as violent and bloody as the previous year in Lubbock, Texas, beginning with the mysterious death of Marcella Valenzuela in January. Her death led investigators and newspaper reporters to a frenzied and paranoid theory: that a, quote, “gay sex-drug cult” had infiltrated the city. But when Elizabeth Price was brutally murdered in April, at least some detectives had sense knocked back into them. The depraved murder of Elizabeth mirrored, in many ways, the 1975 slaying of Debbie Sue Williamson. There were investigators, too, who thought the 1971 deadly attack and torture of Naomi Martin might also be connected.

This episode we detail how the arrest of Glen Samuel McCurley came to be with the help of David Mittelman of Othram lncorporated, the company who identified the man’s surname through a DNA profile and genetic genealogy. Also, the impact that the arrest had on Carla’s friends, family, and others and how, perhaps, we can honor Carla’s memory.
