''In the last week of June 1993, Angelo Perkins and his wife, Cathy, left their Killeen, Texas home to go to their high school reunion in North Carolina.
Their only child, 20-year-old Montrel, stayed home. ''
'Angelo describes Montrel as an upstanding, respectful young man, not the type to get into trouble.'
''According to Commander Lourence, Montrel was shot “at least one time,” though it is possible that he was shot more than once. The department suspects he was also beaten before he was killed.''
''According to the initial investigation, the last time anybody saw Montrel alive was at a club in Killeen sometime after his parents left for their reunion trip, though there is no record of the exact date.''
“I’m going to have that detective re-evaluate the evidence that was collected to see if there is anything that we can send off for DNA analysis or fingerprints or any type of forensic analysis that could give us another lead.”
