Murder Mystery Turns Into Real Bear Tale in Marfa
Excitement and speculation rose after parts believed to be a human arm and foot were found near Marfa. Sheriff’s deputies searched the area as doctors examined X rays and locals pressed for clues. Jimmie later confessed the “murder mystery” stemmed from a bear hide and a box in his yard, with dogs dragging off the bear’s foot and people mistakenly thinking the limbs were human. Investigation showed the bones resembled a bear’s, dispelling the theory of a murder.
