Summary

With several other murders to follow, the series of Fort Worth crimes dubbed “The February Sl@yings” by newspaper reporters began in 1967 with victim Mildred May. When her husband left for Dallas on the night of February 3rd, 1967, Mildred had planned to stay in to nurse her headache. The ailment, however, must have passed, since she was seen at El Matador Club in West Fort Worth that night. After that, presumably, her car broke down and Mildred headed to a payphone on foot to get help. On February 4th, her body was found several miles away on a Trinity River levee. She’d been badly beaten, r@ped, and str@ngled. If the cope were ever close to finding Mildred May’s k!ller, they never let on to the public.

If you have any information about the murder of Mildred May, please contact Fort Worth police department cold case unit at 817-392-4307.
