The Disappearance of Jimmy Farenthold Part 1: Oil, Power, and Secrets

The Disappearance of Jimmy Farenthold Part 1: Oil, Power, and Secrets

Texas dynasties are remembered for oil, ranching, and politics. Their names are carved into courthouses and campuses—but behind the polished legacy of the Farenthold family lies a darker story. In this first part of our multi-episode series, we trace the family’s rise from European aristocracy and South Texas oil wealth into political power, before unraveling the tragedies that shadowed their name.

From the sudden death of a child to the brutal gangland-style murder of 32-year-old Randy Farenthold, this episode examines the intersections of privilege, politics, and violence. As Frances “Sissy” Farenthold’s political star rose on reform and civil rights, her family life was shattered by a killing that sent shockwaves through Corpus Christi society.

But Randy’s murder was only the beginning. Another son, Jimmy, would one day vanish—without obituary, without a police report, without answers. Just silence.

This is Part One of Three of The Disappearance of Jimmy Farenthold: Oil, Power, and Secrets.

If you have any information about the disappearance of Jimmy Farenthold, please contact the San Antonio Police Department at (210) 207-8939.

Mysteries of Boerne, Texas Part 1: The Bizarre Death of Colonel Philip Shue

Mysteries of Boerne, Texas Part 1: The Bizarre Death of Colonel Philip Shue

On the morning of April 16th, 2003, United States Air Force Col Philip Michael Shue left his home in Boerne, Texas to head to work at Lackland Air Force base in San Antonio. Col Shue never made it work and instead died in a strange car crash. What Kendall County Sheriff’s Deputies would find at the scene of the wreckage was bizarre. Officially ruled a suicide, a judge would later order that Col Shue’s death be changed to homicide.Submit your DNA data from a consumer testing company to Othram’s database.

Ara Johnson, Angelica Gandara, Amber Crum, & The Boogeyman

They were many miles apart. The investigations and the immediate suspects, or lack thereof, of each case starkly different. But the disappearances of Amber Crum in 1983, Angelica Gandara in 1985, and Ara “Neecee” Johnson in 1986 became connected many years after the children vanished when a child rapist and murderer implicated himself in each case.Check out the new true crime podcast from the Obsessed Network, Obsessed With Disappeared Submit your DNA data from a consumer testing company to Othram’s database.

The Mysterious Disappearance & Unexplained Death of Sharon West

The Mysterious Disappearance & Unexplained Death of Sharon West

At the end of July 2011, the small towns of Fannett and Hamshire, just southwest of Beaumont, Texas, became the center of an ongoing mystery. Sharon West, a 14-year-old girl who was at her Dad’s for the summer, vanished. For three months there was absolutely no trace of the teenager but at the end of October, Sharon’s remains were found not far from where she is last thought to have been. Her body was completely skeletonized and there were no tell-tale signs of foul play on her bones. The Jefferson County Medical Examiner struggled to rule on Sharon’s cause of death. Investigators for the Sheriff’s Department, too, were finding no clues as to what happened to Sharon West...and they’re no closer to finding answers today.Submit your DNA data from a consumer testing company to Othram’s database.

Hub City Homicides Part 2: Marcella Valenzuela, Elizabeth Price, & Naomi Martin

Hub City Homicides Part 2: Marcella Valenzuela, Elizabeth Price, & Naomi Martin

The year 1976 was shaping up to be as violent and bloody as the previous year in Lubbock, Texas, beginning with the mysterious death of Marcella Valenzuela in January. Her death led investigators and newspaper reporters to a frenzied and paranoid theory: that a, quote, “gay sex-drug cult” had infiltrated the city. But when Elizabeth Price was brutally murdered in April, at least some detectives had sense knocked back into them. The depraved murder of Elizabeth mirrored, in many ways, the 1975 slaying of Debbie Sue Williamson. There were investigators, too, who thought the 1971 deadly attack and torture of Naomi Martin might also be connected.Check out Unjust & Unsolved with Maggie Freleng wherever you listen to podcasts.Submit your DNA data from a consumer testing company to Othram’s database.

Hub City Homicides Part 1: Vickie June Stokes & Deborah Sue Williamson

Throughout the 1970s, Lubbock Texas lived up the nickname “Hub City,” though not for the reasons they wanted. It was a hub for criminal activity.

These are the stories of two of the victims of brutal slayings that both occurred in the year 1975: Vickie June Stroud Stokes in March or early April of that year and Deborah Sue Agnew Williamson in August.
