The Conrad Murders

Posted on by

I thought about whether I should post this or not, but it’s far too heinous and sad. My dad called earlier this afternoon and told me the news.
My second cousin ([more info on cousins], his wife, son and dog were murdered early Friday morning in Gray county. Gray county is a small [more info] county in the Texas Panhandle.
It appears as though the intruder(s) broke through the back door, shot the husband, wife (who was pregnant), and son while they were in bed. The weapon of choice was a shotgun. The intruder(s) also shot at the 10-year-old daughter, but they missed while she played dead.
The authorities have no leads as of yet, and no one knows why this house was chosen at random.

  1. Indeed this is a travisty of the worst kind.
    Please reveal to us more facts ,so that we can better understand why such a horrenous & needless thing could take place to our kinfolks.
    Our family is in such a grief stricken state
    at this time.
    We sincerely pray that the murderers are found and properly judged so that no one can be violated in such an unjust way again.
