Phantom Threat to Texarkana Teens Spurs Patrols
The Texarkana Gazette notes teens fear a phantom killer linked to a double murder wave. A boy in a car trailing a bus was shot at when he did not stop, later released after saying he did not know the pursuing car was police. Weary teens say decoys are used to lure the phantom, who has attacked twice with killings. Betty Jo Booker and Paul Martin, both teens, were among the early victims on April 14, while Mary Jeanne Larey and Jimmy Hollis reported earlier abuse and assault attempts.
