Stanley Thomas Wilcox, 59, of Waco, Texas, was reported missing late December 2022 and later found to have been killed. Family and friends remembered him as active and kind; he was a regular at the local YMCA and played racquetball. He was last known to have left his Garrett Avenue home around Christmas Eve without his car; his ID and debit card were left in the living room.

Detectives interviewed three people who shared the home: 18-year-old James Keylan Willis, 19-year-old Brandon Xavier Stephens, and 18-year-old Heavyn Hamilton. Arrest affidavits say Willis and Stephens admitted shooting Wilcox during a confrontation, then cleaning the scene and disposing of his body in a ravine near South 9th Street and the I-35 northbound access road. A large amount of blood was found in the trunk of a white 2021 Ford Escape with North Carolina plates; the trunk had been cleaned. Willis and Stephens face charges of Murder and Tampering with Physical Evidence and are held on bond; Hamilton is accused of failing to report a felony and has bonded out.

What information might help fill gaps about Wilcox’s last movements or the events at the Garrett Avenue residence?
