The Evidence Room, Episode 38 – The Texas Killing Fields, Part 3
SUMMARY: The investigation into the murders of several women in League City, Texas, primarily centers on Clyde Hedrick, who was linked to the death of Ellen B. A key witness identified Hedrick as the last person seen with Ellen before her body was found. Despite his varying accounts, authorities were unable to initially prosecute him for murder due to inconclusive autopsy results. However, renewed investigation efforts, including exhuming Ellen’s body, supported the conclusion of a homicide via blunt force trauma. Testimony from his daughter further painted Hedrick as a manipulative predator. The complex case raises questions about past investigative failures and Hedrick’s connection to other unsolved murders.
In 1985, 29 year old Ellen Rae Beason’s body was found near the Galveston causeway. But it wasn’t until 2014 that someone was finally convicted for her death. Even though her body was found in Galveston County, Benson’s case is connected to the โKilling Fields’ murders in League City because of the prime suspect.

Cruz: Calling for Israeli cease fire is siding ‘with genocidal maniacs’ | Texas
SUMMARY: During a one-year anniversary event for the October 7 terrorist attacks on Israel, U.S. Senator Ted Cruz condemned calls for a ceasefire, equating them with support for “genocidal maniacs.” He recounted the brutality of Hamas’s acts, labeling the day as the worst massacre of Jews since the Holocaust. Cruz criticized rising antisemitism on U.S. college campuses, attributing it to cultural Marxism, and proposed strict measures against violent protesters. He asserted that U.S. policy should unequivocally support Israel and eliminate terrorist organizations like Hamas and Hezbollah, emphasizing that funding Iran fuels these groups. Cruz urged unity to cut off support for Iran.
