Anybody remember the '83 Kilgore college murders?
 
(What GLO was this?)

It was about 32 kilometres north of Henderson, in Kilgore, hub of the 1930s East Texas oil rush, that the fatal events unfolded on a Friday night in September 1983.

Robbers showed up at the KFC on the main drag there around 10 p.m.

About an hour later, assistant manager Mary Tyler's daughter arrived to pick her up from work. Tyler, 37, wasn't there. Neither were her co-workers Opie Ann Hughes, 39; and Kilgore College fraternity brothers Joey Johnson, 20; Monty Landers, 19; and Maxwell.

Investigators would later find blood on the floor and a cash register tape that showed about $2,000 had been in the cash box.

The next morning, on a road that led to an oil field about 25 kilometres south of Kilgore, a petroleum worker made the ghastly discovery: the bodies of the five KFC workers, all shot in the head from behind. Maxwell, Johnson, Landers and Tyler were lined up. Hughes was about 45 metres away.

I thought Kilgore was a junior college and ergo, would not have national fraternities.
