Draggingtree Posted October 17, 2017 Author Share Posted October 17, 2017 Houston serial killer faces execution this week Anthony Shore, a convicted serial killer, is set to be executed Wednesday evening. His murders in the 1980s and 1990s went unsolved until 2003. BY JOLIE MCCULLOUGH OCT. 17, 2017 12 HOURS AGO Houston’s “Tourniquet Killer” is on his way to the Texas death chamber. Anthony Shore, the confessed serial rapist and strangler whose murders in the 1980s and 1990s went unsolved for more than a decade, is scheduled for execution Wednesday evening. The courts have shot down his latest appeals that argued a traumatic brain injury decreases his culpability, and a plea for relief to the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles was denied Monday afternoon. Shore, 55, has been on death row since 2004, when he was convicted and sentenced to death in the 1992 rape and murder of 21-year-old Maria Del Carmen Estrada. The killing was one of four similar murders of young women and girls and one aggravated sexual assault where the girl was able to escape. The murders took place between 1986 and 1995, according to court documents. All became cold cases in the years after the bodies of Estrada, 14-year-old Laurie Tremblay, 9-year-old Diana Rebollar and 16-year-old Dana Sanchez were found, dumped behind buildings or in a field, partially naked with rope or cord fastened around their necks like tourniquets. https://www.texastribune.org/2017/10/17/houston-serial-killer-faces-execution-week/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draggingtree Posted October 18, 2017 Author Share Posted October 18, 2017 Potential new murder confession delays Texas serial killer's execution The execution of Houston's "Tourniquet Killer" was delayed because prosecutors began to fear he would confess to another murder — one for which a fellow death row inmate faces execution next month. BY JOLIE MCCULLOUGH OCT. 18, 2017 UPDATED: 1 HOUR AGO The execution of Houston serial killer Anthony Shore was rescheduled hours away from his pending death after officials began to worry he would confess to another murder. Shore, 55, was set for execution after 6 p.m. Wednesday, but the district attorney from Montgomery County sent a plea to Gov. Greg Abbott and Harris County District Attorney Kim Ogg, asking for more time to look into rumors that Shore would confess to a murder in which another death row inmate was convicted. "This office is in possession of evidence suggesting that Shore has conspired with death row inmate Larry Ray Swearingen and intends to falsely claim responsibility for the capital murder of Melissa Trotter — the crime for which Swearingen is currently scheduled to be executed on November 16, 2017," Montgomery County DA Brett Ligon said in his letter to Abbott. https://www.texastribune.org/2017/10/18/harris-county-resets-execution-date-serial-killer/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
