On October 8, 1974, 19-year-old Linda Ann McClendon was one of five people killed in a single attack at the Riverside Village apartment complex in Fort Worth, Texas. The other victims were her cousins Laura Louise McClendon, 22, and Martha McClendon, 24, plus two toddlers, Steven (Laura’s son) and Natasha (Martha’s daughter), both age two.

The attacker, 24-year-old Kenneth Granviel, had dated one of the McClendon sisters. He entered the apartment claiming a social visit, then carried out a series of sexual assaults and multiple stabbings. Granviel admitted to raping Laura and Martha and fatally stabbing all five occupants. He later killed two more women, Vera Hill and Betty Williams, in separate incidents in February 1975, confessed to all seven murders, and was convicted of capital murder. Linda McClendon was buried in Coolidge Cemetery in Limestone County, Texas.

Does anyone have memories of the Riverside Village complex or the McClendon family that could add context to this case?
