Houston-area cold cases cracked: Inside how murder mysteries, decades-old disappearances resolved after sitting on shelf for years
Cases go cold when investigators exhaust all available leads. Due to a lack of evidence, hostile or nonexistent witnesses or some other limitation, clearing these cases isnโt easy. Many remain a mystery.
Accused serial killer found guilty of murder
Accused serial killer William Lewis Reece has been found guilty of murder for the first time since a series of young girls were murdered in Texas and Oklahoma in 1997. It took an Oklahoma County jury less than 2 hours to find Reece guilty of murdering Tiffany Johnston in the town of Bethany.
