Agnew Slayer Case Probes Multiple Leads in Texas
Investigators traced a murder linked to two hitchhikers after the body of World War veteran Agnew was found dumped near a rural road three miles north of Brownsville. The car blaze, bloodstained clothing, and missing items pointed to a staged escape as deputies questioned truckers, tavern operators, and produce buyers along the Austin San Antonio Rio Grande corridor. Agnew, once of Tyrone Pennsylvania, had been missing since Friday, with authorities seeking a suspect trio and a reward from Governor O Daniel.
