In November of 2017, patrol officers from the small city of Corinth came across a vehicle parked in a vacant lot with the lights on. They approached the suspicious car and discovered the body of a woman, riddled with gunshot wounds. She was soon identified as Amanda Clairmont, a 21-year-old well-liked University of North Texas student. A motive for the young woman’s murder eluded investigators and so did evidence. The last time a homicide investigation was conducted in Corinth, it didn’t go much better according to many.
If you know anything or saw Amanda Marie Clairmont on the night of November 18th, 2017, please call Corinth Police at 940 279 1500. Submit anonymous tips to Denton County Crime Stoppers by calling 800-388-TIPS (8477). You might also be eligible for a reward.

Constable Johnnie Raymond “Bill” Garsee was shot dead in front of his Moscow, Texas barn in April of 1984. Originally from San Augustine, Bill, his wife, and three children had settled down in the small town three decades before. Being a huge name on the rodeo circuit in a rodeo town like Moscow, locals warmly welcomed Bill and his family. As the years went on, he became Precinct 3 Constable and garnered the respect and friendship of everyone. So, when he was gunned down in cold-blood as a 61-year-old man in 1984, the Polk County Sheriff’s Office was left baffled. They had theories but could get none to stick.
If you have any information about the murder of Johnnie Raymond “Bill” Garsee, please contact the Polk County Sheriff’s Office at (936) 327-6810.

Although he’d promised one of his daughters to do better, 49-year-old Jose Fernando Corona couldn’t help but suspect his wife, 44-year-old Maria Santos Corona, of having an affair, though no evidence of such existed. He saw a curandera and attempted to use herbs and prayer to rectify the situation he’d most likely imagined. However, Jose could not let it go. Nothing was working in his mind. So, in April of 2010, he did the unthinkable. Instead of simply walking away, Jose murdered Maria in one of the most brutal ways imaginable. There’s no doubt he’s responsible, but since he fled to Mexico, and could be anywhere in Texas, Oklahoma, or Washington state at this point, Maria’s six children have yet to see the man who killed their mother – their father – brought to justice.
From CityofLewisville.com: On April 26, 2010, Jose Fernando Corona murdered his wife with a chainsaw. Investigators believe that Corona may have fled into Mexico on April 27, 2010 at Laredo, Texas. Corona has extended family members in Euless, Grapevine, Mineola, Austin, and Houston, Texas as well as in Oklahoma, Washington and Mexico.
Anyone with information related to this offense is asked to call the Lewisville Police Department Tip Line at 972.219.TIPS (8477) or Denton County Crime Stoppers at 800.388.TIPS (8477). You may also email crime tips to [email protected] or submit an anonymous tip by texting keyword "TipLPD" and your information to 847411.

Edgar Ray Zachary – the cab driver who drove Virginia Carpenter from the train station to the campus of Texas State College for Women in Denton – remained the prime suspect in her disappearance for nearly the entirety of the past several decades. His name popped up at detectives’ every turn, and his propensity for domestic violence suggested he was capable of heinous crimes, since he’d committed them. But a lead in 1998, 50 years after 21-year-old Virginia vanished, an old timer wanted to get something off his chest – long ago, he’d been privy to a confession in the form of braggadocio. It was, perhaps, the most promising lead the case had ever seen. Part 3 of 3.

The Denton Police had lost four days by the time they found out 21-year-old Virginia Carpenter was missing. But when they did, searches were organized quickly, and information was dispatched to law enforcement nationwide. When Texas Ranger Lewis C. Rigler entered the case, one of his immediate concerns was interviewing a handful of folks, including Virginia’s suitor, Kenny. Although his one eyebrow remained raised at the thought of this young man’s potential motives, Ranger Rigler could find nothing implicating him. Upon the discovery that the Carpenter Family was acquainted with three of the victims of a series of depraved and notorious crimes in Virginia’s hometown of Texarkana, the lawman couldn’t help but wonder if the infamous Phantom Killer also had a hand in her disappearance.

In Texarkana, Texas on June 1st, 1948, 21-year-old Virginia Carpenter hopped aboard the 3 o’clock train to Denton, where she was to attend a couple courses during the summer semester at Texas State College for Women. She arrived at 9:05 that night, but soon after, vanished into thin air. Her mother Hazel didn’t find out for four days, and much to her dismay, no effort had been made by the college to try and locate her, even as her luggage lay on the front lawn of the dormitory where she was registered. The Denton Police, to their credit, acted fast, but with four days of investigation lost, the trail they were working with was already cold.

In May of 1983, 35-year-old Esther Broberg was dropped off by her husband at an after hours drinking joint in East Austin, Texas. There, she hung out with her close friend and some others. Just as the sun threatened to rise, the group parted ways. But Esther never made it home. Instead, just a few hours later, passersby at EH Givens Park, not far from where she’d been, discovered Esther Broberg’s body. The scene was shocking; the violence acted out on the mother of two was unfathomable. Unforgivable. The Austin Police quickly developed suspects in the case, and a series of confessions, but there could be no trial. Even after one of the suspect’s DNA matched evidence found on Esther’s body a couple decades later, the same roadblocks remained.
If you have any information about the abduction, rape, and murder of Esther Gevara Broberg, please call the Austin Police Department Homicide Tip line at 512-477-3588. The APD Cold Case Unit can also be contacted by e-mail at [email protected]. Or, provide information by calling Crime Stoppers at 512-472-8477.

The morning of Monday, October 26th, 1998 was like any other for Peggy Lynn Howard and her young daughter. The two got up, performed their normal morning routine, and left their home for school and work. The morning ended tragically, however, and the young mother and daughter wouldn’t even make it in the car. Six-year-old Allyssa was holding her mother’s hand when she was gunned down outside the condominium. Peggy’s killer has never been brought to justice for her murder.
If you have any information about the murder of Peggy Lynn Howard, please call the Crime Stoppers hotline at 800 252 8477.

Managing editor of the Clifton Record, W. Leon Smith, continued working both Judy Whitley and Mickey Bryan’s cases for years. In 1999, when ex-Clifton policeman Dennis Murry Dunlap was officially named Judy’s killer, Leon was almost certain Joe Bryan hadn’t murdered his wife Mickey but couldn’t find the evidence to exonerate him. A few years later, a Waco attorney began looking into Joe’s case and was appalled at the lack of evidence he was convicted on. It was this attorney’s student at Baylor University Law, Jessica Freud, however, that inarguably proved Joe Dale Bryan should not have been convicted. Still, an old school, old guard Texas judge wasn’t willing to write the wrong the state had made.

In 1991, Don Whitley visited the editor of the local newspaper with a plea: help him get justice for his daughter, slain Clifton, Texas teenager Judy Whitley. He had a suspect in mind who might also be responsible for another crime – the murder of 44-year-old Clifton Elementary School Teacher Mickey Bryan. The newspaperman knew that Mickey’s husband Joe Bryan had been convicted of the crime, and he had faith in the justice system, but while searching for justice for Judy Whitley, doubts began to emerge. Particularly, when a Clifton Policeman became a seemingly viable suspect for both. Part 5 of 6.

In August of 1984, just five months after 13-year-old Helen Kilgore was found murdered on the side the road, authorities in Bosque County, Texas had another body – that of 19-year-old Hood County woman Shelia Vandygriff. Though Shelia was murdered, the friend with whom she was abducted was set free after being assaulted. She went to Hood County authorities with what had happened, but they struggled to find leads, at least any that were viable or made any sense. After three law enforcement jurisdiction, the Bosque County Sheriff’s Office, the Hood County Sheriff’s Office, and the Texas Rangers failed to identify a strong suspect, the murder of Shelia Vandygriff went cold. Was there a connection between Shelia’s murder and the other three in the county within a two-year period that shared similarities?

When it was time for the defense to present their case in the State of Texas V. Joe Dale Bryan, for the murder of Mickey Marlene Bryan, attorney Charles McDonald was confident he’d get his client off. Not only did he truly believe in Joe’s innocence, but also, the prosecution simply had no evidence. Certainly nothing scientific. But, did the fact that the state presented what they had as forensic facts influence the jury? With the murder of Judy Whitley earlier in 1985 still unsolved, it seems likely the public was looking to close at least one of the cases. And since Judy’s had no suspect on trial, Mickey’s murder, at the hands of someone statistically more likely to have committed it, might help put the public’s mind at ease should it be closed. But at what cost?

As the State of Texas V. Joe Dale Bryan got underway, the prosecution was pulling no punches. Witnesses from Texas Ranger Joe Wiley to victim Mickey Bryan’s brother Charlie Blue had damning indictments of Joe Bryan. But on cross-examination, defense attorney Charles McDonald, during these two witnesses particularly, didn’t hold back and pointed out at least some of the big holes in the state’s case. There was reasonable doubt all over the place, and it’s especially easy to see in hindsight, but with upstanding law enforcement officer and upright citizens testifying against Joe, would jurors see it?

A few months before Clifton Elementary fourth grade teacher Mickey Bryan was slain, another unimaginable and heinous crime took place less than a mile away. There were rampant whispers going around what the small city’s newspaper referred to as “The Famous Clifton Rumor Mill,” and when Joe Bryan was arrested and charged with his wife’s murder, the chatter grew louder and more intricately weaved. In the months leading up to the trial, Joe felt abandoned by just about everyone but his closest friends and family. When it came time to enter the courtroom, he told others he was ready to get it behind him so he could find Mickey’s killer. But nothing is ever that easy.

Before the 1985 murder of 4th grade teacher Mickey Bryan in Clifton, there were several other murders, including the April 1984 murder of 13-year-old Helen Kilgore, whose body was found in Bosque County. After she was identified, at least for a while, authorities were theorizing the killing was an occult ritual or sacrifice to Satan because of a tattoo Helen had. It’s unclear how much time and evidence the ridiculous theory cost detectives, or if their suspects were worthy of investigation. Because of the Satanic Panic angle, unfortunately, the case received little attention in the media.
If you have information about the murder of Helen Marie Kilgore, please call Texas Crime Stoppers 1-800-252-8477. You may be eligible for a cash reward of up to $3,000 in return.

In October 1985, the seemingly idyllic life of small-town educators Mickey and Joe Bryan came crashing down when she was shot and killed in their home. Joe, who was out of town for a work conference, appeared devastated and though they could find no signs the Bryan home had been forcibly entered, the Clifton, Texas Police first theorized the crime was a burglary gone wrong. But when Mickey’s brother come to town and discovers a shocking piece of evidence alongside his ex-FBI Private Investigator, a new motive arises. Or, perhaps more accurately, a new motive is created. Was Joe responsible for Mickey’s slaying? The lead investigator, a Texas Ranger, was hellbent on proving that was the case.

34-year-old Alton Peek, Red River County Precinct 4 Commissioner, had everything going for him. He’d been working his way into local politics since high school and was moving up. He had the admiration and respect of the community, particularly in his hometown, Boxelder, Texas. Alton had a beautiful family, a wife and two young boys. So, when he was shot to death while feeding his cattle in August of 1996, a motive, perhaps, perplexed the Red River County Sheriff’s Office the most. Alton Peek wasn’t robbed, he had no financial problems, his political position wasn’t one most folks would kill for. Rumors swirled for years as the case became steeped in controversy, just as they had concerning a case that happened the year before Alton Douglas Peek’s murder: the disappearance of Jennifer Joyce Bench. But as it grew cold and left the local newspaper headlines, they settled. 12 years later, an arrest – shocking to some and no surprise to others – brought everything back to the forefront. However, nothing stuck.
If you have any information about the 1996 murder of Alton Peek or the 1995 disappearance of Jennifer Bench please contact the Red River County Sheriff’s Office at (903) 427-3838.

26-year-old Luara Pippin Danka had everything going for her in 1980 – a solid job, a nice little bungalow not far from Corpus Christi Bay, and most importantly, her two children. She’d come to Texas several years before with her husband, but they’d since divorced and were splitting up there time with the kids cooperatively and amicably, by all indications. But in April of that year, on a day seemingly like any other save the fact that it was Easter Sunday, Laura disappeared. Her body was found three days later. She’d been brutally murdered and dumped just outside Corpus Christi city limits. The Nueces County Sheriff’s Office found few clues and even fewer folks with a motive to kill Laura.
If you have any information about the murder of Laura Pippin Danka, please call the Nueces County Sheriff’s Office at 361-887-2222 or Crime Stoppers at 361-888-8477.
