Murder motive still a mystery
Steve Spence, a 32 year old West Texas native living a rough Odessa life, was found murdered behind a West Ector topless bar in September 1980. His sister Linda Tankersley urges a full inquiry, noting the brutality of the crime and that robbery did not appear to be the motive as only $4.35 was left with the body.
