The Texas Eyeball killer.
Charles Albright, known as the “Texas eyeball killer” was natural born killer. He murdered and raped a total of three victims. First was a prostitute named Mary Lou Pratt. Reports came in about a lady who had been murdered and half way nude. Mary was shot point blank in the head and raped. She had also had he shirt up to revile her breasts, this would be an important trade mark that Charles would leave on his victims. The children had reported she had almost looked like a manikin lying in the road. One in the autopsy room they had made a horrible discovery. Mary had had her eyeballs removed, but, it had been done with care almost like a doctor had done the crime. During this case they had no leads and soon the case had gone cold.
Almost exactly a month later a second victim had turned up in the same spot. Susan Peterson, another known prostitute was found shot in the head. He body had been found in the same spot and her shirt had been pulled up reveling her breast just like Mary had been found a month earlier. As the medical examiner went to open the eyes they made a discovery that she too had her eyes removed with care. At this point they realized it was not just any other case with prostitutes but yet a pattern that had to be done by the same killer. And two days before the Susan’s body was discovered she had told police she knew the killer of Mary but had not yet reviled a name and by this time it would be too late.
The area was being patrolled by police and they suspected that the next murder (if it was the same killer) would strike again in a month like he had the last two victims. Sure enough a month later a body of the third victim had shown up. Shirley Williams, age 41, was found lying in the street in a pool of blood. Detectives had found a used condom lying next to the body also. The killer had also not been as gentle with the body as the last two victims. She had bruising to her face and her eyes were taking out with a violent manner. They discovered a piece of medal in her eye which was from an acto knife used to remove the eye.
The police had to start from square one. They remembered a man who went by the name “Speedee” they had pulled over with a prostitute in the car and decided to run a background check on him. His address came up in the name of Albright and they discovered that the name Albright had been deceased. They had also had a women come in talking about a Charles Albright who would come into her work asking for dates. When the women had finally agreed she soon regretted it. The women had explained he was a very aggressive and mean man. He had told her he was a conman and would bring her to one of his houses just to have sex with her.
Detectives took all this information and gathered it up. They had got pictures of him and presented them to a lady named Veronica; the lady had claimed she saw a murder happen and pointed out his picture right away. Police immediately had a search warrant and went to his house. They had found the same knives used in to remove his eyes. Also DNA tests had proven that he was the killer when they tested pubic hair found on one of his victims. Also red condoms where found matching the color of the condom found next to the third victim. Charles would be arrested and sentenced to life in prison.
