The deaths of Cora McAbee and Brandon Howell are still considered as one of Hunt County’s most notorious unsolved cases...

The sheriff’s office received a call at around 7 a.m. on May 25, 2006 of a double homicide in the 3500 block of Private Road 2174...

The murders were believed to have occurred as the couple slept, sometime between 11 p.m. May 24 and 6:38 a.m. May 25, 2006. Both victims had been shot at close range multiple times.

Cora, the mother of five children, was the owner of the former Cora’s Country Café on Highway 34 South in the Cash area. Brandon was the owner of a Greenville lawn and garden business. McAbee and Howell had been dating for about a week.
 
Any sleuths who are familiar with this case?
I am very familiar with this case seeing as i live in the area and my husband is a related to Cora by marriage.. it's just another one of many of Hunt County's unsolved murders/ mysteries. This case has been quiet for a long time and not really talked about until recently, when a man named Michael Chambers disappeared from our area.... basically 2 people are dead and LE still doesn't know "who done it"
