Josephine Konvicka, 73, was found slain inside her Fayette County, Texas, home on June 4, 1999. She had lived in the area for many years and was well known in her community. Investigators reported that her house was located near railroad tracks and that details of the attack resembled other killings under investigation at the time.

Authorities linked Konvicka’s death to a series of murders that shared similarities in location and method, including break-ins and the use of blunt force or stabbing. Her case became part of a broader investigation into those connected crimes that had terrorized multiple communities.

Anyone who knew Josephine, lived near her home in 1999, or has information about activity along the nearby railroad tracks that summer is asked to come forward.
