Reflections for Patrolman Matthew Charles Murphy

I came upon your death in a newspaper article in Corpus Christi when I was a young trouble maker. Many years later and stationed just 30 minutes south of where you worked, I still cannot believe your killer is still at-large. I pray that your case will see the light of day at Texas Rangers HQ's and your killer will be known. I think of you often, just wanting to know what happened that night...
