I sent the galveston news paper a mesaage thru FB asking them if they happen to have a clearer picture of kitty they said they don't have the original, they got it from abc13. I already sent them an email so hopefully they respond
It says she went to jr high school. Does anybody remember the girl on FB that said she remembers hanging out with a girl who I believe lived in front of her house but she only saw her in jr high, that the girl stayed with her a couple of times but then never saw her she said she came from an abusive home.
I found this girl who doesn't appear in any databases.

She was born in Galveston, tx. Not sure if timelines work with her, but thought I should post her.
To me, she resembles 'kitty', and WCJD to some degree. Good find!Q

The more I look into this case, and read about true crime etc, the more I think the person who killed this girl has certainly killed before and MAY have a military connection, because of the panties stuffed inside of her to stop bleeding. Bludgeoning & strangulation is the most common method used by serial murderers. The confiscation of the clothing. Though I still don't know why the jewellery was left on her.

I was actually thinking that Autry was who WCJD was going to visit. Autry came from a "broken" home and Port Arthur, where he lived, is just an hour from Galveston.
I was looking into the mention of Ellis Prison and wondered if anyone has ever examined a possible connection to James David Autry?
Autry was sentenced to death for shooting and killing a convenience store clerk in Port Arthur, TX on April 20, 1980. He was moved to Ellis Prison on October 10, 1980 and executed on March 14, 1984.
I was hoping to read back about coverage of the trial but unfortunately, Port Arthur News is digitized for every year between 1921 and the present, except 1980.
Is anyone here good at Google news archives? Would like to see if we can find an article from back then that describes what she was wearing because the new article says different then what we've always thought.
New - Yellow pullover shirt
Dirty white colored knit sweater with big pockets, length past the waist line

She had been wearing blue jeans, a yellow pullover sweater with big pockets that hung below her waist, and she was carrying high-heeled sandals in her hand.
