Opie Ann Hughes, a 39-year-old woman from Kilgore, Texas, was one of five people abducted from the Kilgore Kentucky Fried Chicken on the evening of September 23, 1983. The five victims — Hughes, Mary Tyler, Joey Johnson, David Maxwell, and Monty Landers — were taken to a remote oil field road and executed with a shot to the back of the head. Hughes was found a short distance from the others; evidence indicated she had been sexually assaulted before she was killed.

The case went unsolved for many years. A 1995 arrest of James Earl Mankins Jr. was later negated by DNA testing. In 2001 DNA linked the crime to Darnell Hartsfield and his cousin Romeo Pinkerton; both men were already incarcerated for other offenses. Pinkerton pleaded guilty in 2007 to five counts of murder and received five concurrent life sentences. Hartsfield was convicted at trial in 2008 and given five consecutive life sentences. Hartsfield has maintained there was a third, unidentified killer involved.

Does anyone have additional information about the investigation or remembers details from Kilgore in 1983 that could shed light on whether a third participant was involved?
