Something from the Hunt County CAD that was shared here the other day was quite interesting as the same person owning the property and building a Hunt County Sheriffs Office is ran out of and it is rent free also owns the building and land and is listed as director but is not the owner of the crematory is also someone who enjoyed frequent lunches with BC and a couple of other guys.

How can one find out if the AG has this case or not?

I guess I was mislead by the funeral homes website as he is the owner of the crematory business.

I don't know but if this guy is involved and donates the sheriff's office that is a huge conflict of interest but not the biggest one for the sheriff to investigate.

 

[truetexan]

If not the owner then maybe a worker?

 

[johnbelt]

Where I live we don't have constables if one is suspected of a crime who investigates it?

 

[Midge Montana]

Pretty pretty please, let that dog find whatever they are looking for, to include hard evidence for an arrest.

Bring Papaw home!

Does anyone know if the K9 is experienced or fresh out of training?

The FB page is public again, correct? We weren't allowing it to be linked or mentioned here when it was private or closed, per TOS. But I just looked and it seems to be an open public FB page once again. As long as it remains open and public, we will allow it to be linked here and mentioned. The usual social media rules apply as in any other case. For example, do not copy and paste comments made by members of the group, other than the admins of the group. Do not sleuth any members of the FB group, etc.

Hi all, there has been a question raised about linking to a particular company's facebook page. Please give us a little time to look into this company and decide whether it will be allowed for discussion. thank you

I reached out to Klein Investigations and found out a family member did hire them. Here is what was sent to me via FB messenger:

"Thank you on behalf of our team. "Our team has made strong forward movements in the last two weeks. We will have something to say on this case in a few weeks."
