Police hope the new clues will lead to the identity of the killer or killers.
The bodies and bones found in the Calder Road oil field are among dozens of women whose bodies have been dug up in fields all along the I-45 corridor, the 50-mile stretch between Houston and Galveston, Tex.
Leads came and went, and so did suspects. There was the fabulist felon who falsely confessed to the killings from prison in 2001. There was the man who owned the recreational horseback-riding stable in the adjacent lot, who drew suspicion for years. But the investigation was complicated by the fact that authorities could not even identify two of the four women discovered in the fields.
That’s because the bodies and bones found in the Calder Road oil field are among dozens of women whose bodies have been dug up in fields all along the I-45 corridor, the 50-mile stretch between Houston and Galveston, Tex. Starting in 1971, when three Galveston girls disappeared in a matter of months, more than 30 women from the area would go missing by 1999, The Post reported then.
The coincidences would haunt her father, Tim Miller, who immediately asked the League City Police Department if they had searched for Laura in the Calder Road field where Fye had been found, the Press reported.Not until two boys riding dirt bikes in 1986 found another body in the oil field — that of Cook, a Tennessee native who had moved to Houston for work as a mechanic. She was known only as “Jane Doe” then.
Suspicion surrounded Abel in 1991 not long after he opened his recreational horseback-riding business, Stardust Trailrides, in the lot next to the killing fields: One September afternoon, two horseback riders came across a nude body, the fourth to be discovered in the Calder Road oil field. Police wouldn’t know it then, but it was the body of Donna Prudhomme, Ratliffe, now League City’s police chief, said Tuesday.
Miller would later turn his attention to another man, although police have yet to identify any physical evidence linking this man, either. Now decades later, Miller has turned his obsession into a career: The founder of Texas EquuSearch, he tracks down missing people for a living, having recovered dozens of bodies during the past two decades.
