Montgomery Louis Monty Landers, 19, was one of five people abducted from a Kilgore, Texas Kentucky Fried Chicken after an armed robbery on September 23, 1983. Monty and the others—Opie Ann Hughes, Mary Tyler, Joey Johnson, and David Maxwell—were taken to a nearby field and each executed with shots to the back of the head. Opie Hughes was found a short distance from the group and had been sexually assaulted before being shot.

The case went unsolved for many years. In 1995 James Earl Mankins Jr. was arrested based on a torn fingernail found on one of the bodies, but DNA later excluded him. DNA testing in 2001 linked cousins Darnell Hartsfield and Romeo Pinkerton to the crime; both men were serving prison terms for other offenses when arrested. Romeo Pinkerton pleaded guilty in 2007 to five counts of murder and received five concurrent life sentences. Darnell Hartsfield was convicted at trial in 2008 and given five consecutive life sentences. Reports note DNA from one victim indicated sexual assault, and questions remain about whether a third perpetrator was involved.

Did anyone who knew Monty or the other victims in Kilgore at the time have information that could shed light on the case?
