In Septmeber of 2005 a double homicide in Pineville, Missouri and the massacre of almost an entire family in Pampa, Texas and a traffic stop at the border of Mexico and Texas were all connected. 10 year old Robin called 911 in the early morning of September 30 to report that there had been a shooting in her house in Pampa, which sadly claimed the lives of her mother, Michell Conrad, her stepdad, Brian Conrad, and her brother, Zach Doan. A few hours after that call, Pineville officers were called to the scene of Orlie and Dawn McCools' murder. It wouldn't be until that night that someone connected to these murders was stopped trying to cross back into the United States from Mexico.
