THE KILLING FIELDS Decades Later, Investigators Still Searching for Answers in Murders of Four Women

THE KILLING FIELDS Decades Later, Investigators Still Searching for Answers in Murders of Four Women

The women seemingly had little in common. One was just a teenager. Another was a local bartender. One was a 30-year-old mechanic. The fourth was a young mother.

But their lives appear to have ended in the same place—a rural field off a dirt road in League City, Texas, between Houston and Galveston. It was a desolate space, dotted by little more than oil rigs and dirt roads. If they cried for help, it’s unlikely anyone heard.

Years after finding the four bodies in that field near Calder Road—part of an area that became known as “the Killing Fields”—investigators are still trying to find the murderer(s).

“It’s important for the public to know that we have not given up. It may be labeled a cold case, but that doesn’t mean it’s sitting on a shelf and isn’t being worked,” said Special Agent Richard Rennison, who has worked the Calder Road killings case out of the FBI’s Houston Field Office, Texas City Resident Agency, for more than a decade. “It’s being worked actively at the FBI and actively at the League City Police Department.”


The Grim Discoveries
In 1983, a young bartender named Heidi Fye went missing in League City. A few months after her disappearance, her body was discovered in that rural field.

A year later, 16-year-old Laura Miller disappeared, just after she’d moved with her family to League City. She’d gone to a nearby store to use a payphone and never returned. In 1986, Miller’s body was found in the same field, not far from where Fye’s had been.

During the search for Miller, police made a gruesome discovery—a third body. But police had no leads as to who the unidentified woman was, so she became known as Jane Doe. In 1991, passersby discovered a fourth body, known at that time as Janet Doe.

While Fye and Miller were positively identified through dental records, limited scientific options at that time meant that Jane Doe and Janet Doe would remain unknown for more than 20 years—until just a few months ago.

The Investigation
While the League City Police Department remains the lead agency, the FBI has brought significant resources to the cases. The FBI Laboratory has examined evidence, and the FBI’s behavioral experts created a profile of a possible killer.

And although leads have come and gone, the murders remain unsolved. There are no known witnesses to any of the killings, and no common person connects all four.

To date, the signs point to one killer, although multiple killers can’t be ruled out. Given the nature of the area where the bodies were found, it was likely someone with roots in the area. Someone would have known those fields were a good place to leave a body, Rennison explained.

Investigators have scoured missing-persons databases and appealed to the public for tips. But with each passing year, the case gets tougher to crack.

“With that much time going by, people lose their memories,” Rennison said. “People pass away. People just simply forget. It’s hard to remember significant details from that long ago.”

For Rennison, the cases are personal. He’s from the area and started his career with the League City Police Department in 1993, not long after the fourth body was found. As a detective, he assisted in the investigation.

Rennison later joined the FBI and became the case agent for these killings in 2005. He has been involved in the case in some way ever since, either as the case agent or supervisor.

The Breakthrough
While leads have dwindled over the years, science and technology have advanced. In January 2019, Rennison received a call that breathed new life into this cold case—the identification of Jane Doe and Janet Doe.

Jane Doe, found in 1986, was Audrey Lee Cook. Cook had worked as a mechanic and lived in the Houston, Channelview, and Heights areas of Texas. She was last seen in December 1985.

Janet Doe, who was found in 1991, was identified as Donna Gonsoulin Prudhomme.

Knowing the names of the women has given Rennison and the local police something to work with. They’re contacting neighbors and friends and reviewing police records from that time.

A key part of the investigation is appealing to the public for help. Rennison and local police need to talk to anyone who can provide additional information. Details as simple as where the women worked or the names of friends who haven’t been interviewed could be key to solving these murders.
