Summary

The investigation into Mary Lou Morris’s October 12th, 2000 murder was going nowhere for Harris County Texas Sheriff’s Office detectives. All the physical evidence had literally gone up in flames, which was perhaps the biggest clue – that her killer either planned the terrible crime carefully or had plenty of time after to cover their tracks. Finding a motive was damn near as impossible. Mary Lou’s daughter Marilyn was 25 years old at the time, and vividly remembers the day her mother went missing and her smoldering car was found. She noticed plenty to cause her to be suspicious of one man then and in the proceeding years, another inserted himself into the case causing further confusion.

Very special thanks to Marilyn for speaking with us for this episode
