Linda Flora & Baby Sam McClain

Linda Flora & Baby Sam McClain

In August of 1988, twenty-four-year-old Linda Flora was found brutally murdered inside her modest home on Coulson Street in northeast Houston. At first, investigators feared her thirteen-month-old son, Sam McClain Jr., known to family as Baby Sam, had been abducted.

But hours into processing the crime scene, officers made a discovery so disturbing it would leave even the most seasoned detectives shaken. Baby Sam’s body was found hidden in the home.

What followed was one of the most horrific homicide investigations in Houston history.

As detectives dug deeper, they uncovered evidence suggesting Linda may have been attacked in her sleep, and that Baby Sam may have suffered unimaginable torture before his death. Despite exhaustive interviews, polygraphs, forensic testing, and decades of follow-up investigation, no arrests have ever been made.

More than thirty years later, the murders of Linda Flora and Baby Sam McClain remain one of Houston’s most haunting unsolved cases.

If you have any information about the murders of Linda Flora and Baby Sam McClain, please contact the Houston Police Department Cold Case Squad at (713) 308-3618. You can also leave an anonymous tip with Crime Stoppers of Houston at 713-222-TIPS (8477).
