The above link is to a detailed story in the May 2015 edition of "Texas Monthly" magazine. The cover story is about Big Bend.
The link only contains the first page or so of the story. To read all the details you should get a hardcopy of the magazine
before it's pulled from the shelves, if it hasn't already.
This murder story is probably well known in both Amarillo and Lubbock, but not the rest of the Lone Star.
Summary (in case you don't buy the magazine to read it all):
A blonde bombshell who had been a KC team's cheerleader has a relationship with Dr. A in Amarillo.
She dumps him and finds a new boyfriend, Doctor B, in Lubbock.
Dr. A is heartbroken and wants her back. His friend continually goes to Lubbock and stalks the new couple.
Eventually Dr. A's friend hides in Dr. B's backyard, shoots him 5 times with a .25 pistol equipped with a
16 ounce Gatorade silencer/suppressor, then climbs into the house and completes the murder with 11 knife thrusts.
The murderer has confessed and been found guilty. Dr. A's trial ended with a hung jury. His defense was that he
never wanted his friend to KILL Doctor B, and that the friend must have stolen the .25 auto from his house without
him realizing it was missing.
The blonde has moved on and is now dating a West Texas oil man. You might say that she's a gold digger, but when
your life has consisted of rich men falling in love with you, who's to say?
