Mandy Rubin, a 25-year-old Black woman, was killed on February 4, 2006, in her southwest Houston apartment. Her body was found nude with articles of clothing wrapped around her head; her purse appeared to have been rummaged through and her cell phone was missing. Those details closely resembled the August 2005 killing of Danielle Subjects, another Black woman whose body was found in a similar condition.

Authorities identified Edward George McGregor, then 33, as a suspect in the deaths of Rubin and Subjects and in the murder of Edwina Latriss Barnum. McGregor had previously been charged in the 1990 murder of Kim Wildman, and investigators linked him to Barnum’s 1994 murder through DNA evidence that led to his arrest. As of this reporting, McGregor had not been formally charged in Rubin’s death while investigators continued to examine evidence for connections across the cases.

Does anyone have information about Rubin’s movements, contacts, or her missing cell phone in the days before February 4, 2006?
