Murder Tale of Akard in Lamar County Reopens
Thirty two years after the Akard murder in Lamar County Texas, authorities capture John Alexander in Arkansas with the help of U.S. detectives. Robert Alexander, once condemned, was pardoned after a long fugitive life marked by illness and age. The case, linked to Confederate service and family feuds, resumes with a new trial effort as officers pursue justice for the slain Jacob Akard and resolve lingering questions about witnesses and motives.
