Robin Murray O’Hair was 30 when she disappeared from Austin, Texas, with her grandmother Madalyn Murray O’Hair and uncle Jon Garth Murray on August 27, 1995. The three were last seen at their home and American Atheists office; a note on the door said they had left town because of an emergency. Strained phone calls continued for weeks, then stopped by late September.

Investigators later determined the family had been kidnapped by three men: David Waters, Gary Karr, and Danny Fry. The captors transported the victims to San Antonio, held them in a hotel, and forced transfers of about $600,000 in gold coins. Reports say Robin was subjected to sexual advances during the ordeal and that she may have been killed at the Warren Inn; Waters later told authorities the three were murdered together on September 29, 1995, then dismembered and buried on a remote Texas ranch.

Remains recovered in January 2001 were identified as Robin’s by dental records and DNA. Waters cooperated with authorities and led them to the burial site as part of a plea; he later died in 2003. Karr was convicted on multiple federal charges and sentenced to life; Fry was found murdered near the Trinity River shortly after the disappearance. Does anyone have information about the family’s last days in Austin or contacts who might have spoken with them in late August 1995?
