The first half of 1979 kept Houston Police\u2019s homicide department busier than they\u2019d ever been; the year had already broken records for the most violent crimes and murders the city had ever seen. The second half was no different with a series of murders taking place between the end of July and the first several days of October that were so gruesome, so violent in nature \u2013 two beheadings and two victims who were almost decapitated \u2013 that Houstonians were in fear and the police were scrambling to protect their citizens. No one was ever brought to justice for the murders of five individuals who would become synonymous with the name \u201cThe Orchard Apartment murders.\u201d Were they connected?
