A Texas True Crime Classic of the Lake Waco Murders, Mistaken Identity, and Police Investigation

In July 1982, teenagers Raylene Rice, Jill Montgomery, and Kenneth Franks were brutally murdered near Lake Waco in Waco, Texas. Initial police leads stalled, leaving the community paralyzed by fear for over a year as rumors spread.

Edgar Award-winner Carlton Stowers follows Waco Police Sergeant Marvin Horton as he meticulously assembled informant testimony and physical evidence. The investigation revealed a horrific murder-for-hire mix-up organized by Marlyn DePue, leading to the convictions of David Spence and the Gilbert brothers.

Why You’ll Love This Book
