Law enforcement agencies have an impressive track record when it comes to solving homicides. An astonishing 68% of homicide cases in Texas are cleared by arrest or other means. But not every case is solved.
Cold Cases in Texas
An unsolved murder, or cold case, can be taken over by the Texas Rangers.
The Texas Rangers keep a website where they normally list the top 12 cold case investigations. Currently, they have 13 cases listed.
Unsolved Murders From 1979 to 2007
The cases are from all over the state of Texas and go as far back as 1979.
The most recent case added to the site is that of Marianne Wilkins of Tarrant County. According to information listed on the website, Wilkins was murdered in 2007 when she answered her door and was shot multiple times.
Lubbock County Cold Case
The cold case for Lubbock County dates back to 1987, when the body of a teenage girl was found.
According to the Texas Department of Public Safety website.
On the morning of Thursday, 03-26-1987, the body of 13 year old Veronica Taylor was discovered in a snow covered field adjacent to F.M. 1729, located in eastern Lubbock County, Texas.
