Vera Louise Hill was 21 when she was murdered in Fort Worth, Texas, on February 8, 1975. Born June 27, 1953, in Arizona, she worked as a cook at Church’s Chicken and lived at 1802 E. Roberts in Fort Worth. She was unmarried at the time of her death and her death certificate records the manner as homicide.

Kenneth Granviel, 24 at the time, was arrested the same day and later confessed to multiple murders, including Vera Hill’s. His killings in Fort Worth during 1974–1975 were sexually motivated and involved several victims; his pattern included sexual assault and brutal stabbings with a butcher knife. Granviel was convicted and sentenced to death.

Does anyone have memories of Vera Hill, her workplace, or the neighborhood around 1802 E. Roberts in the months before February 1975?
