Death row for Odessa stabbing killer in 1972 then other charges
In 1972 Odessa saw a lethal conviction for Robert Walseth Bell, a 22 year old Big Spring man, who received the death penalty in the stabbing death of a local drive‑in clerk. He later drew life terms for related offenses and additional prison sentences. The year also brought political and educational milestones including Midland forming a junior college district with a bond for a campus, UT Permian Basin starting a permanent building, and a contentious annexation around Odessa. Odessa celebrated the Permian Panthers securing a second 4 A football crown by defeating Baytown Sterling.
