AUSTIN - The Texas Department of Public Safety today unveiled a new section of its website dedicated to solving cold case murder investigations across the state of Texas.
"Cold cases are typically challenging to solve for a variety of reasons, but we want to send a clear message that we are not giving up on these murder victims," said DPS Director Steven McCraw. "Our goal for this webpage - and the investigative efforts supporting it - is to shine a new light on these crimes, so they are not forgotten. We are committed to bringing these ruthless criminals to justice and to bringing some amount of closure to the families involved."
Currently, the website features a total of 68 cases dating back to 1978. There are three cases in the area that DPS is looking at: Jose Martinez, Martha McGraw, and Bradley Gilbert.
The public will have the opportunity to submit information online through the site or by calling a toll free number, 1-800-346-3243. Callers may remain anonymous.
