A Sheriff's Office spokesperson confirmed that the victim's bodies were found behind Fisherman's Cove Food Mart & Convenience Store at 807 Texas Highway 87. This is near the ferry landing.

The bodies were discovered behind a dumpster at the store around 7:45 a.m. by a beer delivery man.

I am interested to learn more. This was two black females. And Brigette Gearen's killer has never been caught.
 
Deputies say the women were involved in a relationship. LE thinks they were killed elsewhere and dumped at the location found.

Detectives are trying to locate the victims’ vehicle, a silver 2006 Kia Sorento SUV. It has paper tags and has been listed as stolen.

Relatives say the two women went to Galveston for Mardi Gras. Authorities say they were killed in different ways, and it's possible the suspects murdered them elsewhere and moved their bodies.

Police are still trying to piece together why the battered bodies of these two southeast Houston women were found Friday morning tossed behind a dumpster of a convenience store near the ferry on Port Bolivar - and that newly purchased vehicle vanished along with their purses and identification. Police have found a witness who saw a man driving the stolen vehicle with the women inside. They released a composite sketch late Sunday that authorities believe could help solve the double homicide.

According to a news release from Sheriff Henry Troschesset, the Galveston County Medical Examiner's Office says Britney Cosby, 24, of Houston, died from the result of Blunt force trauma. Crystal Jackson, 24, of Houston, died from a gunshot wound.

Why the different CODs? We've seen this before in some of the multiple abductions from the earlier series' of crimes. No way they could be related since they happened so long ago, but I am interested in what this means.

"Britney Cosby, 24, died from blunt force trauma to the head and Crystal Jackson, 24, died from a gunshot wound, Galveston County sheriff's Maj. Darrell Isaaks said Tuesday.

Isaaks declined to reveal where Jackson was shot, saying release of the information might endanger the investigation."
 
so the 2006 vehicle is the one stolen and they had just recently purchased it?

I wonder if the authorities will release TOD - I'm curious as to when they were murdered and who was killed first

RIP Britney and Crystal
 
Britney Cosby was excited after she had finally pinched enough pennies and gotten a tax refund that allowed her to buy a silver 2006 Kia Sorrento a week ago.

That newly purchased vehicle vanished along with their purses and identification. Police have found a witness who saw a man driving the stolen vehicle with the women inside.

I just got an inside scoop, that the dad of Britney Cosby had them killed, b/c he found out that the grandmother left everything to BC in her will. He had gotten into drugs. I don't know if it is in the msm yet, but, I do know someone who is close to the father of BC, and was their neighbors for years. I hope this isn't true, b/c it is very sad if these two ladies were murdered due to greed from one of their own fathers. I hated to hear this news. God Bless their families, and RIP.
 
Britney Crosby's father James Crosby was angry that is daughter was gay. He is a registered sex offender who was recently released from prison. Britney and her Grandmother let this man move in. He had a Koran in his room, open to a page about homosexuality being a sin.

His fingerprints were found on a piece of paper on the bodies and pools of blood were found inside Cosby’s Houston home, Cook said.

“At least one murder happened at his house,” Cook said.

The stolen 2006 Kia Sorento said to be involved in the murder of Britney Cosby and Crystal Jackson was recovered from a vehicle storage lot this week. (Galveston County Sheriff's Office)


"The stolen 2006 Kia Sorento, said to be connected to the murders of Britney Cosby and Crystal Jackson, was recovered from a vehicle storage lot Thursday in the 13500 block of Conklin in Houston.

It was found by a Houston Police Department officer who was at the lot working on an unrelated investigation.

An employee at DeWitt Wrecker Service asked the officer to check the vehicle, which had been picked up without license plates, according to a GCSO press release.

The vehicle was owned by Britney Cosby. It had been missing since Cosby and Jackson were found dead behind the dumpster of a convenience store near the ferry on Port Bolivar."

******************************

"Galveston County Sheriff Henry Trochesset said in a press release Friday that the SUV had been recovered previously from the parking lot of Ritz Cabaret in the 10520 block of the Gulf Freeway. Management had called a wrecker service to tow away the vehicle.

The vehicle is currently being processed for any evidence, which will be submitted to the FBI for analysis."

************************

I'm confused...the vehicle was recovered once before?

Afterward, Mary put together her daughter's last hours based on the bits and pieces of information she got from the police. On Wednesday night, March 5, Britney and Crystal stopped and picked up a pizza for dinner. When they got home, Larry was in the kitchen eating a bologna sandwich, Annie Lee's caregiver told the investigators. Larry made a comment about how it wasn't right that he was having to eat bologna while they had pizza. Britney told Larry he could have pizza, too, if he'd go out and earn some money. It was a tense moment, and the caregiver told the police that she grabbed her things and left.

Larry had been released from prison in October 2013 after serving time for failing to register as a sex offender. When he arrived at Annie Lee's house, he found things had changed at the 1,200-square-foot green and white residence in Sunnyside. Britney and Crystal were taking care of Annie Lee, and they shared the back bedroom in the house and used the tiny middle bedroom as a storage closet. Annie Lee had the front room, and Larry was relegated to sleeping on the couch in the living room, a converted garage...

Later, Ebony explained there was something about her brother that made her apprehensive. "I told my husband Larry would never be allowed to stay at my house under any circumstances," she says. "I was uncomfortable. I had a sense about him." She also heard stories from her cousin about how Larry would act when they went out, how he would approach women so aggressively that it scared them. "I knew something wasn't right with him. There was just this very uncomfortable feeling."

No one has been charged yet for the murders of these two young women. Apparently waiting on results of forensic testing.
