Summary

After Holly Palmer’s brutal beating death on November 27th, 1988, Granbury Police and Hood County Sheriff’s Department Officers began looking anywhere and everywhere for someone who might have wanted to kill the young woman. They felt it was someone who knew Holly well, someone she trusted not to hurt her, but authorities were perplexed. It seemed no one had anything against her. Except, perhaps, one individual whose name kept popping up.

0:05.8	Listener discretion is advised.
0:08.3	Holly Palmer's murder wasn't motivated by robbery and wasn't sexual in nature. It was most likely a crime of passion, of anger, and
0:18.7	rage. A motive of this type suggested only one possibility in the minds of Holly's friends and family,
0:27.0	and seemingly in the minds of both original investigators and detectives who have since worked Holly's cold case.
0:35.0	Early in the investigation into the savage bludgining death of Holly Palmer by two different objects,

0:45.8	Granbury Police investigators were able to eliminate all persons of interest but one,
0:52.4	the same individual who those closest to Holly, to those most knowledgeable
0:57.6	about her life suspected since the beginning. I'm not as hard on myself as I used to be. I just get mad. Now I just get mad. I'm not here to make friends. What I'm here to do is to get my sister's murderer caught and get him off the street. All I want to do is have

2:39.3	the pieces of the puzzle that law enforcement kept tight-lipped. Police did use the press, the newspaper Hood
2:47.3	County News specifically, to seek potential witnesses. They sought a woman who was at the bus station along with her three
2:55.8	children between 1.30 and 2 p.m. the day before Holly was found. The woman who had pulled up to the bus station in a 1980s model Blue Chevy Malibu contacted police after their pleas in the paper.
