The High School Gang That Graduated To Cold-Blooded Murder

Podcast: Play in new window | Download (Duration: 28:02 — 38.5MB)

Gun-wielding gang members from Houston burst into a rural bank located a hundred miles north of Houston.

The high school-age teenagers graduated from burglaries and drive-by shootings to cold-blooded murders that day.

They left behind the bullet-riddled body of an 82-year-old woman who was tending her family’s graves.

They robbed a bank and shot up the small town while making their getaway. They pistol-whipped a deputy sheriff and used his gun to shoot a Texas State Trooper. 

Investigative reporter Robert Riggs covered the murder, and former U.S. prosecutor Bill Johnston sent them to prison.

They are back with another story inside the crime scene tape about the execution of the sweet elderly lady known as Miss Ruby.
