Parrish Dixon, a 49-year-old American Airlines flight attendant instructor, was shot and killed in her DeSoto, Texas, home on May 26, 2016. Her husband, Robert Dixon Sr., was also shot but survived and was found calling for help when police arrived. Officers discovered several dark red crosses painted on the foyer window blinds, which were initially believed to be blood. Parrish and her husband were located in their bedroom, and the stepson, Robert Martin Dixon Jr., then 19, was taken into custody without incident and charged with murder and aggravated assault; his bond was set at $2 million.

Reports say Dixon Jr. had been visiting from Illinois for a few days and told investigators he had no confrontation with his parents before the shooting. The motive remains unclear; detectives were questioning family members in Illinois as the investigation continued. Parrish’s family remembered her as a strong woman who had twice beaten breast cancer.

Did anyone in the DeSoto or Illinois communities have information about Dixon Jr.’s visit in the days before May 26, 2016?
