In October, a young couple named Elaine Eldridge and Lawrence Hogan are gunned down as they sit in a secluded parking spot near Ft. More phantom murders but were they this Phantom? I'm not taking it off the list but it is a little more in question than the previous attacks. He in-turn, got hold of a policeman in Texarkana who said that they now think that the Starks murder was likely some private dispute not related to the Phantom case. While studying a similar crime here in Illinois that I thought might be connected, I contacted a man who was investigating the murders here in this state. As he fled, he dropped his flashlight, something that was an element in the first attack.The gun this time was a.
While she was gone, the murderer roamed from room to room leaving bloody foot and hand prints. Katy made it to a neighbor's home across the road and survived. This cues her to get up and run the other way out of the front door as the maniac, spewing profanities, bashes his way through the back. Fleeing to the rear of the home, she sees the shadow of the killer in the window. Katy was trying to phone for help when she was shot twice in the face.

In a farmhouse just outside of Homan, Arkansas, 10 miles northeast of Texarkana, upon evening May 3, Virgil Starks, 36, is relaxing with an edition of the local paper while listening to the radio. Until now, all the attacks have been on the Texas side of the border but to Arkansas, shall we? It was never shown to for sure have a connection to the case but who can say in the final analysis? That was the official line anyway since there were more rumors that the clothes did lead to the killer but that it was covered up because he was the member of a prominent family - sound familiar? Years later, when a school just outside the park was torn down, bloody clothing was found in the attic. A siege mentality has set in but not even that will stop the rampage. Was this where Miss Booker tried to escape? Whatever happened, she was taken and apparently killed with shots to the face and heart about two miles away. Blood was found on a fence near where Martin's body was discovered.
There were again more unverified rumors of torture and mutilation. The next day, they are found shot multiple times and killed with the same gun as the previous double murder. The lovers are off the lonely rural roads but a park in town should be safe, right?Īfter leaving the VFW hall on the evening of April 13, Paul Martin, 17, and Betty Jo Booker, 15, stop in Spring Lake Park.
