The Sensationalized Slaying of Joyce Stein Part 3

On July 18th, 1993, 8-year-old Kim Nguyen woke up in a good, particularly playful mood. After wrestling around with his older brother some, Kim entered the living room of the Nguyen Family home in Garland, Texas and flipped on the television. When his father came to check on him at about 7 AM, however, there was no trace of the little boy, not inside the house or outside. They called the police and informed them that Kim was gone and that there was a detail that might make finding him more difficult than a lot of children. Kim was autistic and chose not to verbally communicate the vast majority of the time. Word got around the boy’s working-class neighborhood fast, and lots of folks showed up to help search. But after the first several days, no sign of the boy could be found. Almost no sign.If you have any information about the 1993 kidnapping and murder of 8-year-old Kim Nguyen, please call the Garland Police at (972) 485-4840Please consider donating to the go fund me for Leon Laureles.

The 1994 trial of Michael Nawee Blair for the abduction and murder of 7-year-old Ashley Nicole Estell was fought hard by both sides. Though the prosecution came out victorious and justice seemed to have been served upon Blair’s conviction, it was stripped away years later, when the decision was overturned. Is Michael Blair truly innocent and one of the other two strong suspects responsible for the heinous and unforgivable act? Or, did Blair get away with Ashley’s slaying? Even though justice has yet to be realized, Ashley’s legacy had undoubtedly lived on and helped other prevent pother children from falling victim to depraved people who would hurt them.

While the Plano Police investigated the abduction and death of 7-year-old Ashley Estell, a strange man with a pertinent criminal history made himself a suspect. Unbeknownst to the grieving and angry residents of the suburb city, along with the rest of North Texas, the cops were building a case against 23-year-old Dallas carpet cleaner and convicted child molester Michael Nawee Blair. When the arrest came 6 days after Ashley was slain, residents were shocked – but upon learning of the man’s disturbing criminal past and his early release from prison, the public’s shock turned to outrage and a campaign against the practices of the Texas justice system got underway.

The abduction and murder of 7-year-old Ashley Nicole Estell sent shockwaves through Plano, Texas, a Dallas suburban outlier. Crime in the community in 1993 was extremely rare, particularly crime of such violence against a child as the one against Ashley. It changed everything in Plano, and the shockwaves were felt throughout the North Texas Region if not the entire state. The investigation, at first, was going nowhere and the public feared for the safety of their children. Part 1 of 3.

As Wood County Sheriff’s Office Criminal Investigations Captain Mike Chilson continued looking at the 2007 murder of 19-year-old Brittany McGlone, evidence against the prime suspect was stacking up to the point where an arrest seemed imminent. Chilson discovered physical evidence that was hard to ignore and reinterviewed witnesses who’d had some fairly damning recollections of the suspect on that terrible day. By the end of August 2022, Captain Chilson felt he had enough to make an arrest. And so did a Wood County judge. The suspect was found and arrested in Dallas. But 89 days after that arrest, a grand jury decided, seemingly with a nudge from the Wood County DA, that there was not enough evidence. The three-time convicted and violent felon was set free and justice for Brittany McGlone was once again in limbo. To this day, the district attorney has offered no explanation or even placation to Brittany’s family.

When a new Wood County Sheriff’s Office Administration took charge in 2021, the new top lawman Sheriff Kelly Cole made good on his promise to conduct an intense investigation into the murder of 19-year-old Brittany McGlone. With Captain Mike Chilson as lead investigator, the renewed investigation began – new interviews, evidence inspection, and scrutiny of suspects got underway. Though none of the prime suspects have been eliminated, the evidence stacked around one far more than the other.

In Wood County, Texas on May 4th, 2007, Brittany McGlone was murdered, seemingly as she slept, in her boyfriend’s home while everyone who lived in the house was away. Nothing else in the home was disturbed and there were no signs of forced entry. Alibis for everyone who lived in the house were checked out and verified, apparently, but whoever violently bludgeoned Brittany to death most likely had knowledge of the home and the habits of the folks therein. Nineteen-year-old Brittany's killing has devastated her family who struggle to pick up the pieces and who, on top of their uncertainty and grief, were forced to deal with a combative Sheriff’s Office for more than a decade.If you have any information about the murder of Brittany Danielle McGlone, please contact the Wood County Sheriff’s Office at 903-763-2201 or to be eligible for a cash reward, call Wood County Crime stoppers at 903-763-2274, that’s 903-763-CASH.You can find out more about Brittany’s family’s fight for justice at: facebook.com/justiceforbrittanymcgloneTo show your support for Fort Worth cold case victims and their families, please consider joining Thaw the Cold Cases on April 29th, 2023 in the city’s downtown.

On Wednesday, January 9th, 1980, in the North Loop neighborhood of Austin, a man witnessed a young woman’s abduction. The following day, the body of that woman, 25-year-old University of Texas student Susan Leigh Wolfe, was found slain in an alley more than 4 miles away. Because the witness to the abduction was in the auto business, he was able to give Austin Police Detectives what might have been the best vehicle description the department had ever seen. But it didn’t matter; though the car had been seen by folks in the neighborhood before, as well as elsewhere in town, it was apparently never seen again. Susan Wolfe’s murder case went cold. When Austin Police pinned a few of their murders on Henry Lee Lucas and Ottis Elwood Toole, murders they could not have committed, the witness in Susan’s case had made it virtually impossible to pin her murder on them, luckily. But unfortunately, her case faded into obscurity as the years and decades passed.If you have any information about the murder of Susan Leigh Wolfe, please contact the Austin Police Cold Case & Missing Persons Unit through the department’s homicide tipline at (512)477-3588 or by calling the capital area crime stoppers hotline at (512)472-8477To show your support for Fort Worth cold case victims and their families, please consider joining Thaw the Cold Cases on April 29th, 2023 in the city’s downtown.
