The Slaying of Mary Moore Searight Part 2

Part 2 of 2. After moving back to her hometown of Paris, Texas at age 80, Mary Searight quickly became a beloved resident. Mary shot straight, had seemingly endless tales to tell, and always took care of the places she lived through philanthropic gestures. But 8 years after coming back home, when she was 87 years old, someone brutally raped and beat Mary Searight to death in her home. The investigation, though diligently worked, was getting nowhere. When elderly couple Bessie and Grady Alexander were slain just two weeks after Mary’s murder, the Paris Police theorized a possible connection. But when evidence revealed the killer of the Alexander’s through DNA, testing on Mary Searight’s case stalled.If you have any information about the 1996 murder of Mary Moore Searight, please call the Paris, Texas Police Department at (903)784-6688Please donate to help get #JusticeForLeonLaureles at gofundme.com/f/leon-laureles-private-detective-and-memorial/Find gone cold – texas true crime on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram by using @gonecoldpodcast and on YouTube at: youtube.com/c/gonecoldpodcastCommunityImpact.com, The Paris News, The Austin American-Statesman, The Houston Post, The Fort Worth Record, LamarCounty.org, MooreFirm.com, Moore & Searight Family Records, and Court Appeal Documents were used as sources for this episode#JusticeForMaryMooreSearight #Paris #ParisTX #Austin #AustinTX #Texas #TX #Texas #TexasTrueCrime #GoneCold #GoneColdPodcast #TrueCrime #TrueCrimePodcast #ColdCase #Murder #UnsolvedMurder #UnsolvedBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/gone-cold-texas-true-crime--3203003/support.
