Thirty years ago on March 8, 1987, the body of Rickey Gene Herriage, 29, of Athens, was found in a remote area of Henderson County between Athens and Malakoff...

According to an Athens Daily Review article published the day after Herriage's body was discovered, he was found near a bridge on County Road 1500 in the vicinity of Old Malakoff Road.

The original story stated there was no evidence at the scene to indicate a struggle, leaving law enforcement and Culpepper to believe the murder took place somewhere else.

"My brother had challenges in his life, but no one deserves what happened to him. No one," Virginia Culpepper told Dateline.

Culpepper's older brother, Ricky Herriage, was found dead of multiple gunshot wounds... in rural Henderson County, Texas. Officials believe he was shot and killed and his body was thrown off a bridge in the early hours of March 8th, 1987...

Officials have never named a person of interest or any suspects in the case and all their leads have been exhausted.
