Summary

When two drifters were apprehended states apart in 1983, one began confessing to any and every unsolved murder under the hot Texas sun and beyond. Though the slaying of Clarence Ray Hudgins in Gregg County, Texas had all the signs of a well-planned out hit, and these two drifters’ crimes were nothing of the sort, Texas Ranger Glenn Elliot still wanted to explore the possibility that Henry Lee Lucas and Ottis Elwood Toole were responsible. Spoiler: they were not.
