Texas Killing Fields - Inspired by the Calder Road and I-45 Corridor Murders

June 17, 1971. A 13 year old girl is dropped off at a bus stop in Alvin Texas. Never seen alive again, her body was found on November 26, 1971. Just a few months later, another body was found mere yards away. Thus begins the sordid tales of the Texas Killing Fields.

In 2011, a film is released that is focused on these Texas Killing Fields, but goes in a wildly different direction. True is often stranger than fiction, because Texas Killing Fields was indeed inspired by a true story. Listen to this episode of the Inspired By A True Story podcast at any of the resources below or on your favorite podcast app to uncover the truth behind 2011's Texas Killing Fields.

Texas Killing Fields - In the Texas bayous, a local homicide detective teams up with a cop from New York City to investigate a series of unsolved murders. Directed by Ami Canaan Mann and starred Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Sam Worthington, Jessica Chastain and Chloe Grace Moretz.
