Bobby McBride, a 41-year-old businessman from Brownwood, Texas, was found shot to death in his office at The Branch Office, a nightclub he owned, on March 16, 1981. An employee arriving at the downtown club discovered his body; McBride had been last seen the previous day after leaving his mother’s house with his young daughter to meet his wife in Brownwood. He suffered multiple gunshot wounds to the head. Evidence suggested a .38 caliber revolver may have been used, but the murder weapon was never recovered.

The Brownwood Police Department and the Texas Rangers conducted numerous interviews and re-interviews but had no clear suspect or charges at that time. Investigative efforts continued for decades, including review by the Texas Cold Case Review Team, and a reward is currently offered for information leading to an arrest. McBride’s sister Linda Wilson and his parents have said the family has long sought answers. Anyone with information about this case is asked to contact authorities. What information do readers in the Brownwood area have that could help resolve this killing?
