Also our UID has recent Mexican ancestry. From the Zacatecas with plenty of endogamy.
Angela was a member of the California Valley Miwok Tribe, which implies long term ancestry in the US.
Although NA DNA is tricky, I think the connection to California probably would have shown up, since...
What? Do you have a link?
Wikipedia says he was arrested in Georgia two months after the murders for unlawful possession of a weapon and stolen vehicle. If he was arrested and charged with the same crimes in West Texas, two days after the murders how did he get his gun back so quickly?
I'm...
Looking further back in the thread, someone thought maybe he followed the girls from the mall.
I wonder what time the business next door heard gun shots?
Wasn't' there another couple in there around closing time?
My hunch: He's a predator. He came in like a regular customer. Likely opened the back door at one point and propped it with a rock.
Waited until rest of the customers were gone.
Likely told the young women that it was a...
That's a good question!
I can understand why they focused on the "teens hanging out in the ditch". (Locals who know the comings and goings at the yogurt shop)
Obviously this guy picked the yogurt shop for a reason.
Was he in Austin for any length of time? Was staying near the yogurt...
I decided to watch the HBO Documentary now.
OMG!
Those false confessions
Springsteen: "I was at Rocky Horror because I always go on Friday nights"
Detective: "What if I tell you that Rocky Horror wasn't shown that night?"
Fact: Rocky Horror was shown that night!
On and on it went. I...
I can't believe she was born in 1942! The pictures of her as a young woman appear to be from the late 60s/early 70's. If so, she looked about 10 years younger than she actually was.
Wow! Thanks for this!
Yes. Also, it was not uncommon for people to open new accounts before closing an old account, because they didn't want outstanding checks to bounce in the old account. That was probably one of the most common ways people ended up on the list. We would go over that...
Good find!
Any indication of how much money?
Small rebate of sorts? (Hard to track). We would often appear due to "overcharges" or something sorta offbeat.
Unclaimed paycheck (Easy to track)
I was trying to determine anything I could about his mother's murder and ended up in a strange rabbit hole.
Bunny Eckert's son was murdered in 1991
His mother was slashed from ear to ear
Underworld sources say gangsters kidnapped Bunny Eckert and made him listen to his mother's murder
But, it...
Sounds like he was into some shady stuff.
"Horse racing" wasn't legal in 1986. It was outlawed in 1937. The Texas racing commission was created in Nov 5, 1987 and tracks were open after a county election was held.
Eckert is a fairly well known name here. His Find a Grave indicates that...
Based on the other two guys names, pretty sure they were from the US or had been living here a long time. Only Alejandro lists two last names, which could indicate someone who is not from the US, but it doesn't always. Nevertheless, I could not find anything on them, however one guy's name is...
Dead ends on both of the guys. Pretty much dead end on this Alejandro. Someone in another state with "same name", and age, but keep in mind this name is so darn common there are probably thousands of them with the same name and age. He might as well be "John Smith"
The guy in the other...
I think he was in his 50's.
No proof of death, so can't link
There were two the country. Father died in 1981. This person was from Fl and father was buried in FL. This person resided in South Texas in 2005.
His death index will not be available for some decades.
That's obviously our guy!
Even looks like him.
Even the description as someone who lived life to the fullest. (Dying in a park, he was likely physically active)
Good find!
