Betty Jo Monroe, a 28-year-old woman from Boyd, Texas who had been living in Amarillo and traveled under the name Betty Jo Montana with a motorcycle gang, was murdered on October 12, 1985. She accompanied Ricky Lee Green to his mobile home in Boyd, where she was sexually assaulted by Green and his wife, Sharon, then stabbed 17 times, struck on the head with a hammer and suffered mutilation to one breast. Her body was discarded in a rural area of Flatwood and found the next day. Because of the severity of her injuries and the lack of immediate identification, she remained unidentified until 1989 when her fingerprints matched Amarillo records.

Ricky Lee Green, born in 1960, later admitted to a series of brutal murders committed in 1985–1986, some involving his wife. He was arrested April 27, 1989, after Sharon Green provided information to authorities; he was convicted of multiple murders and ultimately sentenced to death. Sharon Green received 10 years probation for her role. Monroe’s identification and Green’s arrest closed a long gap in this case, but many details about the victims’ final movements and some relationships around the crimes remain painful and troubling.

Did anyone who knew Betty Jo Montana, her last movements, or where she rode with the motorcycle gang have information to share?
