Brittney Cosby was 24 and from Galveston, Texas, when she and her girlfriend, 24-year-old Crystal Jackson, were found dead near a dumpster in Port Bolivar on the morning of March 7, 2014, following an attack the previous day. Brittney suffered blunt force trauma to the head and was strangled; Crystal died of a gunshot wound to the head. The two had been dating about two years and were reportedly planning to start a new life together.

Investigators found a fingerprint on a wooden shutter recovered near the bodies that matched Brittney’s father, James Larry Cosby. James had a prior conviction for sexual assault and was arrested and charged with murder and tampering with evidence. Media coverage noted the couple’s relationship and reported that disapproval of their sexuality was believed to be the motive.

Does anyone have additional information about Brittney or Crystal’s lives in Galveston or Port Bolivar that could shed light on what happened?
