Ector County Sheriff\u2019s Office investigator David Saunders called the August 1981 slaying of Carmen Croan \u201cnot your everyday murder.\u201d Though the quote hardly described the brutality and sheer evil of the crime, the case sent chills to the hardened investigator\u2019s core. He\u2019d never seen anything like it, and it was hardly the first savage and explicitly violent death Odessa and Ector County had dealt with in the years leading up to it. The mutilation murder of Carmen was gruesome and macabre. The emotional and psychological ramifications investigators faced was immense. The twists and turns, too, were frustrating.
