Man accused of killing girlfriend missing - Friday, October 02, 2009
HOUSTON (KTRK) -- The Harris County Sheriff's office needs your help finding an accused killer: William Greer is charged with the December 2006 murder of his girlfriend, Tammy Esquivel. Greer allegedly shot Esquivel during an argument in their home. Her body has never been found, but it's believed Greer burned or buried it on private property in Liberty County.

The man accused with her murder, now on the run. William Greer confessed to accidentally shooting and killing his live-in girlfriend. Since the cops didn't have anything to prove what they were being told, they released Greer the next day.

America's Most Wanted aired a segment on Greer, and neighbors in a Georgetown neighborhood recognized him as the man who had moved in to a neighborhood home about six weeks earlier. Since he began living in Georgetown, the sheriff's department reports Greer got a job in construction, got baptized at a local church and even rented an apartment across from the police department. He also began dating several women in the area. Investigators are contacting and interviewing them now.

Authorities obtained a search warrant and entered Greer's abandoned residence Monday, where they found a cowboy hat upside down with a marble in it. A similar hat with a marble was left in New Orleans when he fled from there. While investigators think Greer has fled Scott County, they believe he's still in the state. http://officialcoldcaseinvestigations.com/showthread.php?t=1430

Linda Reategui, originally from Peru, was last seen at her residence. Neighbors reported a disturbance in Reategui's apartment. The day after the disturbance, witnesses saw two middle-aged women, both in their fifties, arrive in a white sport utility vehicle (SUV) to clean the apartment where Reategui and Neciosup had been living. The women took several items with them in their vehicle when they left the apartment. It is unclear what, if anything, the women have to do with Reategui's disappearance. They have never been identified. Apartment officials, however, told detectives the women were not part of the usual cleaning crew. A glass company worker also arrived that day to fix a broken window in the unit. (((Who hired these workers - both the cleaning people and the window repair person? Normally, maintenance from the apartments will repair the windows...)))

Reategui had been living with her boyfriend Juan Rafael Neciosup, 34 prior to her disappearance. Neciosup, also a Peruvian citizen, told the detectives he
had broken off his relationship with Reategui and knew nothing of her plans except she intended to return to Peru. He moved to the 4400 block of Bramdemere Street afterwards. Shortly after the interviews and a year to the week since Reategui was last seen, he disappeared as well. He is still missing.

Detectives would also like to question the father of Reategui's daughter. Police declined to identify him, but said he was a person of some importance in Peru. About 6 years before her disappearance the father of Reategui's daughter said he was taking her to Disneyland and never brought her back. After several years, Reategui learned her daughter was living in Houston with the father's sister. She got paperwork from Houston stating that the sister wanted to adopt the girl. Reategui immediately came to Houston to fight the adoption and contacted the Peruvian consulate hoping for help in her legal battle.

Juan Neciosup is wanted by police for questioning about Reategui's disappearance. He was last seen after initial questioning by police in Houston, TX at 200 West Greens Rd. on 11/18/2001. It is not known if both disappearances are related.

The family of Terressa Vanegas, a 16-year-old girl from Bayview, Texas, has been living a horrific nightmare for the last two-and-a-half years. Teresa's mother, Jeanette Vanegas, wakes up every morning to the realization that her daughter's killer is still living his life without paying the consequence for stealing the teen's precious life.

The mystery of this case began on Nov. 3, 2006, when a man riding a dirt bike stumbled upon Terressa's body some 200 yards behind a high school in Dickinson, Texas. According to a source close to the investigation, Terressa was found lying in a shallow drainage ditch. Her shirt had been ripped off, and her pants were pulled down to her knees. A belt had allegedly been wrapped tightly around her neck. Terressa's shoes were missing, and to date they have not been found.

Bridgette Gearen, 28 - Murdered in Crystal Beach, TX 07/15/2007

Gearen was invited to spend the weekend with four couples and their children at a rented beach house near the intersection of Redfish Road and Crystal Beach Road. The group decided to go out for a late night ride on the beach around midnight. Gearen left her daughter behind when she walked out of the house a few minutes before her friends.

By the time her friends followed her outside, within minutes, she was gone.

The friends called law enforcement a few hours later, but the body had already been discovered by the campers about an hour before, about 100 yards from the beach house where she was staying.

Gearen&#8217;s death was ruled a homicide caused by manual strangulation and blunt force trauma. She was also the victim of sexual assault.

Map of where each victim was last seen *approximately*. I only did the ones where it was stated for sure where they were possibly sited. #1-6 definitely show the pattern but I'm not 100% convinced on the other ones. I got chills when I looked at the map!
