Mary Pratt, a 33-year-old woman, was found shot to death in Dallas, Texas, on December 13, 1990. Her body showed the disturbing detail that both eyes had been surgically removed, a mutilation that linked this killing to a series of murders of sex workers in the Dallas area between 1988 and 1991 and led media to label the perpetrator the Eyeball Killer.

Charles Albright, born August 10, 1933, was arrested and later convicted for the murder of Shirley Williams; investigators suspected him in the deaths of Mary Pratt and Susan Peterson because of similarities in modus operandi and his documented obsession with eyes. Charges in the Pratt and Peterson cases were later dropped for lack of evidence, though Albright remained the prime suspect in those killings.

The case drew extensive multiagency attention and remains notable for the brutality and apparent surgical removal of the eyes. Does anyone have information about Mary Pratt’s last known movements or contacts in Dallas in December 1990?
