The Murder of Trellis “Tree” Sykes in Sunnyside

The Murder of Trellis “Tree” Sykes in Sunnyside

Sunnyside, Houston, Texas was once a community of hope and prosperity. But by the 1990s, the community was riddled with dilapidated buildings and infrastructure, poverty, and crime. Track champion, basketball all-star, and honor student Trellis “Tree” Sykes was a light in the community. Everyone in Sunnyside was proud to have her as a local. In 1994, however, someone who can only be described as a monster accosted Tree and violently ended her incredibly special and promising life. Years later, when a neighborhood rapist was identified after the city of Houston finally prioritized ending their backlog of rape kits, the cops were sure the man was responsible for Tree’s slaying. Though the case remains unsolved to this day, Houston Homicide Division Cold Case Detective Darcus Shorten recently reopened the case.

City of Hate: Carolyn Montgomery…the Wrong One?

City of Hate: Carolyn Montgomery…the Wrong One?

While the 1970s were a time of independence and fulfillment, they were also a time when many, especially women, lived in fear. Dallas, over a short time span from 1970 to 1971, was bombarded with a slew of slayings which the press dubbed the “Bizarre Lust Murders.” On August 8th, 1971, Carolyn Montgomery’s son awoke to find his Mother’s mutilated body under a blanket in their apartment’s living room.You can support gone cold podcast – texas true crime by visiting https//:www.patreon.com/gonecoldpodcast.

City of Hate: The Bizarre Lust Murders

City of Hate: The Bizarre Lust Murders

Over a short time span in 1970 and 1971, a slew of murders occurred in Dallas, Texas in which the press dubbed the “Bizarre Lust Murders.” Most of the crimes were considered to be sexually motivated, though sexual assault didn’t necessarily occur, and there were striking similarities shared across many. Even though police were able to solve some, closure for others remained elusive…and it wasn’t because there was a shortage of suspects.

City of Hate: The Brutal Slaying of Beverly Jean Hope

City of Hate: The Brutal Slaying of Beverly Jean Hope

On Wednesday, October 28th, 1970, Beverly Jean Hope, known as Jean to most, was supposed to pick up a friend for a lunch date, but never arrived. Jean’s husband was sent to check on her and upon his arrival at their home, he discovered the body of his wife in a pool of blood; she’d been violently bludgeoned to death. The investigation into Jean’s murder took some twists and turns – Dallas City and Dallas County had seen a slew of particularly gruesome murders before and since - and law enforcement were ultimately unable to tie anyone to her slaying.

The Poisoning of Patsy Wright, Part Two: Up in Flames

The Poisoning of Patsy Wright, Part Two: Up in Flames

Patricia Bolton Wright’s death on October 23nd, 1987, launched an investigation that uncovered a complicated and convoluted list of potential suspects, motives, missing pertinent documents, and even other deaths that had to be checked out for elimination or connections. When it was all said and done, the potential motive for one person of interest was striking and when considering a young man who tried to steal something particularly interesting that belonged to the museum and was later implicated in another crime that was similar to circumstances surrounding Patsy’s death, the case becomes even blurrier.

The Poisoning of Patsy Wright, Part One: Something’s Not Right

The Poisoning of Patsy Wright, Part One: Something’s Not Right

Patricia Bolton Wright had everything going for her; the Wax Museum of the Southwest, her business in Grand Prairie, was a tourist draw and a local staple, she’d just purchased a ranch, and she was living her dream as a champion horse-cutting rider. On October 23nd, 1987, the healthy, wealthy, and happy 43-year-old died of mysterious circumstances. The Arlington police knew something wasn’t right, however, and their investigation quickly led to what killed her: strychnine poisoning.You can support gone cold podcast – texas true crime by visiting https//:www.patreon.com/gonecoldpodcast.

The Death of Surfer Girls Debbie Ackerman & Maria Johnson

The Death of Surfer Girls Debbie Ackerman & Maria Johnson

On November 15th, 1971, best friends Debbie Ackerman and Maria Johnson went missing after reportedly hitchhiking to Houston. Two days later, their bodies were found in Turner’s Bayou outside of Texas City. Their murders were two of the many confessed to by convicted murderer Edward Harold Bell, the murders he referred to as “The Eleven Who Went to Heaven.” Although countless articles and a television docuseries go out of their way to make a case for Bell’s guilt, there are reasons to doubt the confessions he’d later recant. Either way, the slayings of Maria Johnson and Debbie Ackerman remain unsolved to this day. You can support gone cold podcast – texas true crime by visiting https//:www.patreon.com/gonecoldpodcast.

The Sun Family Assassinations

The Sun Family Assassinations

After not hearing from their prized employee for almost an entire work week, Cameron International contacted law enforcement and asked that they perform a welfare check at Maoye Sun’s home. They did at 7 PM on Thursday January 30th 2014, and when there was no answer at the door, police found that there were signs of forced entry at the Sun home’s back door. They entered the house and made a grisly discovery; both Maoye and his wife, Mei Xie, were found on their bed deceased. Detectives were even more appalled, though, when they that discovered the couple’s children, 9-year-old Timothy and 7-year-old Titus, also laid dead on their beds. The entire Sun Family had been slain, each shot in the head. Their murder remains unsolved to this day.
