I searched for cold cases local to me and they aren't very many, but one particularly stood out to me. I am a conspiracy theorist, so I do believe that not everything is what it seems. Love it or not, read this case & please give me any tips, theories, what I should do next, anything! Thank you in advance if you do reply!
Virginia Kathryn Powers was murdered around December 9, 1972 in Bryan, Texas. This case is close to being 47 years old! Anyways, Ms. Virginia was murdered in a room she rented out of her home. The only evidence found at the crime scene were police a few fingerprints and unidentified hair. She was 58 and was strangled to death with a coat hanger.
Here's the part that gives me chills: Ms. Virginia had warned her neighbors and THE POLICE for YEARS that influential members of the community were trying to kill her. However the police said her accusations had no merit...
Ms. Virginia lived alone but had family nearby. She (owned?)operated an unsuccessful mobile home park and junkyard. None of her family heard from her for several days and that's when the police found her body at her home off North Texas Avenue. Lastly, the police said no suspects ever surfaced.
MY THOUGHTS:
Since most aren't local to Bryan, I can tell you there is a lot of political scandal and power in this town. Tommy Wallis- a murderer if you ask me- being one of the biggest scandals I have ever seen, but this is a small-medium sized town, but believe me everyone knows everyone. I mean the high school I went to was supposed to have it's own football field, but the head person in the district for deciding what gets build made sure we didn't get the field and yet some how came into a large amount of money to build a house. If you didn't connect the two dots, yes he took the money for the field and built his house, and yes it eventually came out that he was taking money from the district. Many situations like this are apparent in my town, but no one ever says anything and it truly blows my mind. The last thing that had me blown away was that recently the news had stated they solved the oldest cold case in town. HOWEVER, the case that was solved happened in the 80s meanwhile Virginia's happened in the 70s. No one mentioned her case though, I found nothing on reddit or here, but that's why Im posting to both forums. All I have is that little excerpt from the newspaper archives in 2004. If Ms. Virginia knew something and whoever was trying to run the town at the time knew, it is most definitely possible the police department would cover it up. She deserves justice and this town needs to do better, so if you know any info please help me! Im new to all this but I want to do anything I can to help!
