The final episode of our Death in Houston High Society series. Dean Goss’s final decent was in November of 1992. Both rumors of that the man had committed suicide and been slain by the same person who’d killed his first and second wives swirled around Houston, but the truth was neither. Friends of Dean eulogized him at one of the man’s favorite watering holes. But after the death, the slayings of...

If you’d have asked any of Dean Goss’s friends how he was doing after the death of his second wife Paula, they’d tell you he was a wreck – miserable. None of them seemed to believe the man was responsible for Paula’s murder or, for that matter, the slaying of his first wife, Elaine. The cops, too, appeared to think Dean was in the clear. Houston’s press, however, had no problem conducting their ow...

A couple years after the death of his first wife Elaine, Dean Goss met and married Paula Brawley. Only months after putting up a substantial amount of money to get Dean’s latest idea off the ground, that venture went belly up following a series of bizarre, suspicious, and flagrantly shady events. Paula had lost her investment and her relationship with Dean was soured. Following a few other bizarre...

In 1982, when Dean Goss needed cash to pay for his murdered wife Elaine’s funeral, he sought out Houston Carpet & Flooring magnate Frank DiMaria. Back in 1968, when Imperial Carpet executive Alan Berg disappeared and was later found murdered, Frank DiMaria stood accused of having hired a notorious Texas hitman – Charles Voyde Harrelson – to do the job. DiMaria and the Bergs had been feuding for so...

In 1968, Elaine and Dean Goss opened up the Holiday Dinner Theater in Houston, Texas. The place was a huge hit and so was Dean Goss, who quickly became known as “The Jackie Gleason of Houston.” Dean was so big, in fact, that he and Elaine’s establishment was renamed The Dean Goss Dinner Theater. For a decade, Elaine and Dean lived the high life, hobnobbing with socialites, celebrities, and politic...

A year after millionaire businessman Jacque Mossler found out his wife Candy was having an incestuous love affair with her nephew, he was living in Florida after leaving the couples mansion in Houston, Texas. When Candy brought the estranged couple’s kids for a visit, Jacque was brutally murdered in an act of overkill that had to be personal. Candy’s nephew and lover, Melvin Lane Powers, just happ...

When Candy Weatherby Johnson met multimillionaire Jacque Mossler while soliciting donations for the New Orleans Grand Opera Company, the two hit it off and began a whirlwind romance.

This is preface one of two of the sto...

On Friday, July 9th, 2021, a second pretrial hearing was held in the State of Texas v Glen Samuel McCurley to decide what evidence would be allowed at the accused’s trial, specifically the DNA evidence.

The investigation into the murder of 28-year-old Jennifer Harris of Bonham, Texas was virtually cold from the get-go. Besides the jurisdictional issues and lack of leads in the case, some evidence was damaged and most lost. The turnaround rate at the Fannin County Sheriff’s Office certainly didn’t help matters either. The rumor mill, too, hindered the investigation. But there were always two suspe...

On Mother’s Day 2002, 28-year-old Jennifer Harris disappeared from Bonham, Texas after spending the evening with a close friend. Though she didn’t say with who or where, Jennifer told her friend as she was leaving just before 8 PM that she had to meet up with someone. Her Jeep was found the following day. Six days after that, Jennifer Harris’s body was found floating in the Red River, on the Texas...

In February of 2021, 39-year-old mother of two and Crowley, Texas resident Cynthia Bah-Traore disappeared. She was caught on surveillance cameras at a Shell gas station in Grandview, about 26 miles south of her home. Many days later, it was discovered that her vehicle had been abandoned off Interstate 35 in Waco, Texas, about 55 miles from where she was last seen. What happened to Cynthia, however...

Many extensive searches failed to locate 70-year-old retired Dallas Fire Fighter Michael Glen Chambers after he disappeared from his home, presumably, in Hunt County, Texas. With no clues, the Chambers family was riddled with uncertainty, and the actions of one family member raised the suspicions of some. Meanwhile, the Hunt County Sheriff’s Office was coming to their own theories, which differed...

In March of 2017, 70-year-old retired Dallas Fire Fighter Michael Glen Chambers was added to a dark list in Hunt County, Texas: a list of unusual and mysterious disappearances. Michael was well-loved and highly respected in the community of Quinlan, not only for his past as a fireman and paramedic but also for his activity in the church and his talent for restoring classic muscle cars. The man had...

Othram Incorporated CEO David Mittelman joins us to tell the story of the January 1995 rape and slaying of 31-year-old elementary school teacher Mary Catherine Edwards. The case went unsolved for 26 years, most of which it remained cold but certainly not forgotten. In April of 2021, thanks to a collaborative effort by the Beaumont Police, the Texas Rangers, authorities in Ohio, and Othram Incorpor...

Gang violence has been a problem in Fort Worth for decades. On May 17th, 2019 gunfire erupted in the parking lot of the Autumn Chase Apartments in Southeast Fort Worth. The drive-by shooting is thought to be gang related and a retaliatory act concerning an almost decade old feud. Two innocent individuals were struck by bullets that day as men fired into the complex – 19-year-old Briuna Harps and h...

29-year-old Janine Johnson and 39-year-old Stephen Taylor had a good thing going. Their romance had blossomed into a full-blown commitment and Stephen had developed an extremely close friendship and bond with Janine’s 11-year-old son. They lived a quiet and relatively unassuming life in the city of Ferris, Texas – a place that was also quiet, unassuming, and safe. But in March of 2009, Stephen and...

On the night of Sunday, January 5th, 1992 in the small town of Gilmer, Texas 17-year-old Kelly Dae Wilson vanished without a trace. Though a special prosecutor who came to Gilmer with a gleam of glory in his eye tried to tie several individuals to Kelly’s abduction, imprisonment, rape, and slaying – including the man who’d been working nonstop to find answers, Gilmer Police Sergeant James York Bro...

Few leads came investigators’ way after 17-year-old Kelly Dae Wilson vanished on the night of Sunday, January 5th, 1992 in the small town of Gilmer, Texas. But Sergeant James York Brown was making progress. Unfortunately, that progress was thwarted when a man named Scott Lyford came to town and cooked up a Satanic Cult scandal, one that eventually ruined the lives of several individuals and damage...

On the night of Sunday, January 5th, 1992 in the small town of Gilmer, Texas 17-year-old Kelly Dae Wilson vanished without a trace. With virtually no clues and fewer leads the investigation moved slow, but it certainly wasn’t for the lack of effort on the part of Kelly’s family, a diligent Gilmer Police Sergeant named James York Brown, and Upshur County Sheriff Buck Cross. One of the first leads c...

The small town of Cleveland, Texas averages only one murder per year. 2005, however, was no ordinary year. In April, while still grieving the loss of a close loved one who was brutally slain just months before, Luz & Antonio Rodriguez’s lives, too, were taken in a senseless and savage act. Both 80-year-old Antonio and 77-year-old Luz were well loved in Cleveland, where they’d lived for decades. Wi...

When John Godfrey’s body was found down a rural road just outside the Victoria city limits on Tuesday, December 7th, 1976 it changed the town for many. Not only was John’s the third unsolved murder that year but his slaying was also especially brutal, the work of a depraved and heartless killer. The Victoria County Sheriff’s Department, who had jurisdiction for the murder, said they were conductin...

John Godfrey had everything going for him. He was fresh out of high school, enrolled in college, and pursuing his passion as the newest and youngest member of local Victoria, Texas rock-n-roll band Southern Wind. But days before his 19th birthday, on December 4th, 1976, John headed to the south of town, a place known as “Under the Hill,” and disappeared. John’s family, bandmates, and many friends...
