Christy Tower & Hillside Jane Doe: The February Slayings Part 4

Christy Tower & Hillside Jane Doe: The February Slayings Part 4

Author: TTC Productions March 10, 2025 Duration: 30:46
Part 4 of 4. Beginning in 1967, a series of murders in Fort Worth that had at least a few similarities began. Their obvious similarity: they all took place in the month of February. The first four were as follows: Mildred May in 1967, Becky Martin in 1973, Carla Walker in 1974, and June Ward in 1977. The murders became known by some members of law enforcement, and certainly to the press, as the February Slayings. This episode is about the fifth in this series, the 1983 murder of Christy Tower...and another that was never mentioned alongside the others, the 1986 murder of Hillside Jane Doe.

If you have any information about the 1979 murder of Susan Boatman Kilgore, the 1983 murder of Christy Jean Tower, or the 1986 slaying of Hillside Jane Doe, please contact the Fort Police Department Cold Case Unit at 817 392 4307.
