Billy Mac Fleming, 36, was found shot to death in a remote section of the Big Thicket near Hull, Texas, on April 12, 1985. Fleming, a junior high school football coach, died of two gunshot wounds to the head that investigators described as an execution-style killing. The case shocked the small community, with reporting at the time emphasizing a love triangle involving Fleming, school secretary Laura Nugent, and Hurley Fontenot, the school’s principal.

Fontenot, 48, was arrested and tried for Fleming’s murder. Prosecutors argued he had planned the killing and tried to manufacture an alibi; the defense said the investigation was racially biased and relied on circumstantial evidence. The trial included allegations of lost evidence — including a .25-caliber automatic pistol Fontenot had given to Nugent, the victim’s clothes, and a bag of ammunition — and testimony about a mysterious woman seen at Fleming’s apartment. Fontenot was acquitted in 1986.

Did anyone have information about Fleming’s movements or associates in April 1985 that could shed further light on what happened?
