An Era of Terror in Brownwood Pt. 2: The Twists & Turns in the Brutal Murder of Donna Mae Inlow
Box in the Basement continues its look into the unsolved and solved murders in Brownwood, Tx, looking for the broader context in how Leon's murder remains unsolved.
In Part 2 of an Era of Terror, we focus on an innocent woman whose life was cut short in 1982. A mother of four and widowed, 72-year-old Donna Mae Inlow worked in her shoe store in Brownwood, TX. On the morning of Tuesday, April 28th, a neighboring business owner found Donna Mae's body, her shoe store covered in blood. Who would murder an innocent, hard-working widow? In the next 42 years, the Brownwood police would arrest multiple suspects. With shady fraudsters inserting themselves into the case, Donna Mae Inlow's murder seemed cursed by false confessions and finger-pointing.
Finally, thanks to CODIS, a suspect was charged and convicted this year. Join us as we follow the twists and turns in Donna's case.
