Timothy Gribble was sentenced to die for the September 9, 1987 rape and strangulation of Elizabeth "Libby" Jones of Clear Lake Shores, Texas. Gribble was working as a roofer at Libby's home while it was being remodeled. He told police he returned to the house several hours after work and raped Jones after she let him in to search for the wallet he claimed to have left behind. He admitted to later driving her to an isolated area and strangling her with the belt of her robe. He was arrested on 9/30/87 and led police to her body after he confessed. Libby's purse was recovered from a nearby creek. Gribble had previously served less than a year and a half of a 5 year sentence on a rape and false imprisonment conviction and was released under mandatory release in May 1985. He has also been indicted in the June 13, 1987 strangulation death of Donna Weis in Galveston County.
