The Killing of Kathy Page Part 1: Staging a Murder

In early December 1984, not long after the disappearances of 23-year-olds Catherine Davis and Cindy Heller, 21-year-old Angela Ewert spent an evening getting sized for an engagement ring. After leaving her fiance’s house to head to her home in west Arlington, Angela stopped for gas at a southwest Fort Worth 7-Eleven convenience store. She was never seen alive again. The following day, her father found her maroon, 1984 Mercury Topaz abandoned on the 300 block of Southeast Interstate Loop 820. A tire had been changed, but there were no obvious signs of violence. After several large-scale searches over the next couple of years, the Ewert Family, and police, continually came up empty handed. Nearly nine years later, the answer to one question was finally answered: where was she?If you have any information about the murder of Angela Leigh Ewert, please call the Fort Worth Police Cold Case Unit at (817) 392-4307.You can support Gone Cold – Texas True Crime and listen to the show ad-free at patreon.com/gonecoldpodcastFind us at https://www.gonecold.comFollow gone cold on Facebook, Instagram, Threads, TikTok, YouTube, and X.Search @gonecoldpodcast at all or just click linknbio.com/gonecoldpodcast Sources: The Fort Worth Star-Telegram, The Dallas Morning News, The Austin American Statesman, digital.library.unt.edu, and texashistory.unt.edu #JusticeForAngelaEwert #FortWorth #FWT #Texas #TX #TrueCrime #TexasTrueCrime #TrueCrimePodcast #Podcast #Unsolved #GoneCold #GoneColdPodcast #UnsolvedMysteries #TrueCrime #Homicide #UnsolvedMurder #ColdCase #CrimeStories #PodcastRecommendations #SerialKiller #TrueCrimeCommunity #CrimeJunkie #MysteryPodcast #TrueCrimeObsessed #CrimeDocs #InvestigationDiscovery #PodcastAddict #TrueCrimeFan #CriminalJustice #ForensicFiles #TrueCrimeAddict #TrueCrimeLovers #CrimeScene #PodcastLifeBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/gone-cold-texas-true-crime--3203003/support.

A few days before Christmas in 1984, 26-year-old David Dale Larson and 21-year-old Regina Suzanne Grover went out for a dinner date at The Keg Restaurant and Bar off Camp Bowie in Fort Worth, Texas. Service industry workers themselves, they knew folks at The Keg, and those folks saw Regina and David leave around 11 PM. It was the last time they were seen alive. The following afternoon, David Larson’s roommate discovered his nude and badly bludgeoned body in their apartment just southwest of downtown Fort Worth. Minutes later, a discovery was made in northwest Fort Worth. On the bank of a river under a bridge, covered with illegally dumped furniture, was the body of Regina Grover. She’d been strangled to death. Police lumped Regina’s murder in with several others that would eventually become known to locals as “The 80s Murders,” and David’s murder, which separated the case from the others in a major way, was often left out. Detectives never got a break on Regina and David’s case, but decades later, when a 1974 murder was solved, similarities never before noticed became hard to ignore.If you have any information about the murders of David Dale Larson and Regina Suzanne Grover, please contact the Fort Worth Police Cold Case Unit at (817)392-4307, or you can provide information by emailing coldcase@fortworthpd.com.You can support Gone Cold – Texas True Crime and listen to the show ad-free at patreon.com/gonecoldpodcastFind us at https://www.gonecold.comFollow gone cold on Facebook, Instagram, Threads, TikTok, YouTube, and X.

In August of 1983, twenty-seven-year-old Mary Till left her Arlington apartment to head to work in Dallas. She never made it. For month, Mary’s parents agonized over their daughter’s disappearance. In early January of 1984 came an unfortunate end to their uncertainty when Mary’s skeletonized remains were found in a field of tall grass just outside a large, heavily-wooded area. The case appears to have gone cold at the get-go. But after a task force was formed to investigate the disappearances and murders of several young women in Fort Worth, Mary Till’s case quickly came to the attention of detectives there. Are the connections and similarities only coincidence or is one person responsible for a majority of these murders?If you have any information about the murder of Mary Elizabeth Till, please call the Dallas Police Cold Case Squad at (214) 671-3661 or the Fort Worth Police Cold Case Unit at (817) 392-4307.You can support Gone Cold – Texas True Crime and listen to the show ad-free at patreon.com/gonecoldpodcastFind us at https://www.gonecold.comFollow gone cold on Facebook, Instagram, Threads, TikTok, YouTube, and X.

Less than a month after the disappearance of Catherine Davis, another 23-year-old woman vanished without a trace. In late October 1984, Cindy Heller stopped to help a stranded motorist. As genuinely friendly and caring as a person can get, she lived up to the term “Good Samaritan” and offered to deliver a note to the motorist’s friends after spending two hours waiting with her. The note was delivered, but Cindy disappeared. More than two months later, her decomposed body was found on the campus of Texas Christian University.If you have any information about the murder of Cindy Heller, please call the Fort Worth Police Cold Case Unit at (817) 392-4307.You can support Gone Cold – Texas True Crime and listen to the show ad-free at patreon.com/gonecoldpodcastFind us at https://www.gonecold.comFollow gone cold on Facebook, Instagram, Threads, TikTok, YouTube, and X.

Catherine Davis came to Texas in 1979 from Oxford, Mississippi. Chasing a career in modeling and fashion, she first landed in Dallas but followed a boy to Fort Worth in 1982. In late September 1984, the twenty-three-year-old left her apartment with someone and forty-five minutes later, it was engulfed in flames. Catherine wasn’t inside. But she’d never be seen alive again, nonetheless. By December, her disappearance became part of a multi-case investigation by the FWPD that, at first, involved two other missing women. When Catherine’s remains were finally recovered, it was an obvious homicide. The investigation would continue to add victims and is known today colloquially as “the ‘80s Murders.”If you have any information about the murder of Catherine Lee Davis, please call the Fort Worth Police Cold Case Unit at (817) 392-4307.You can support Gone Cold – Texas True Crime and listen to the show ad-free at patreon.com/gonecoldpodcastFind us at https://www.gonecold.comFollow gone cold on Facebook, Instagram, Threads, TikTok, YouTube, and X.

On October 25th, 2004, four of the most brutal murders in the history of Lubbock, Texas took place; the murders of Ka'Diece, Ka'Sheim, and Mahogany Jasmine Allen and their mother, Tammy Cooper, shook even the most seasoned homicide detectives in the Lubbock Police Department to their cores. Even though the grisly scene and witnesses provided investigators with what is described as "plenty of evidence," they were unable to connect that evidence with any individual. The murders changed the course of family and loved ones' lives forever.If you have any information on the murders of Tammy Cooper and KaDiece, KaSheim, and Mahogany Jasmine Allen, please contact the Lubbock police department at (806) 775 – 2865 or the Lubbock Crime Line at (806) 741 – 1000.You can support Gone Cold – Texas True Crime and listen to the show ad-free at patreon.com/gonecoldpodcastFind us at https://www.gonecold.comFollow gone cold on Facebook, Instagram, Threads, TikTok, YouTube, and X.

On February 2nd, 1980, 19-year-old Kristy Lynn Booth and a friend were dropped off at a Midland, Texas nightclub. Kristy took off her coat and shoes and danced all night, the last time with a man no one seems to have known. When a friend who’d borrowed Kristy’s car returned to the club to pick her up, she was nowhere to be found. Five days later, her family reported her missing. It took several more days for Kristy’s name, face, and description to make the newspapers and television news. Police searches, too, didn’t happen for days. What happened to Kristy Booth is more than one of Midland mysteries, it’s also a question that has tormented a family for 44 years.If you have any information about the disappearance of Kristy Lynn Booth, please contact Midland Crime Stoppers at (432)694-8477, where you can remain anonymous and are eligible for a reward, or call the Texas Rangers at (432)498-2120.You can support Gone Cold – Texas True Crime and listen to the show ad-free at patreon.com/gonecoldpodcastFind us at https://www.gonecold.comFollow gone cold on Facebook, Instagram, Threads, TikTok, YouTube, and X.
