About this listen

For over four decades, the 1983 KFC Murders stood as one of the most haunting and brutal cold cases in East Texas history. Five people were abducted from a Kilgore restaurant and executed in a remote field, leaving a community shattered and investigators with a puzzle that was only partially solved—until now.

In this episode, we dive into the 2025 breakthrough that finally identified the third and final participant in the crime. We explore how the Texas Rangers and modern forensic analysts used advanced DNA testing and genetic genealogy to bridge a 42-year gap and provide a long-overdue sense of closure for the victims' families.
