Shortly before midnight on Friday, May 9, 1980, neighbors on Cherry Ridge reported hearing gunshots and later saw a 1973 tan/gold Mercury Montego driving at high speed. The next morning a neighbor checked on 458 Cherry Ridge and found Margaret Conable, 50, and Keith Conable, 53, bound and badly beaten to death inside their home. Their Mercury (Texas plate ECF275) and several CB-style radios were missing and reported stolen.

Investigators pursued several leads over the years but the case remains unsolved and there is no clear-cut motive described for the brutal double killing. Detectives are seeking information that could locate the missing car, the radios, or any other evidence that might solve the case and bring closure to the family.

If anyone knew the Conables, saw a tan/gold 1973 Mercury Montego with Texas plate ECF275, or has information about the radios or activity on Cherry Ridge that night, please come forward.
