Bagwell had been paroled in May 1995 after serving 13 years of an 18-year prison sentence in 1982 for attempted capital murder during a robbery in Hidalgo County TX.
Summary:
Bagwell and his girlfriend, Victoria Wolford, lived in a small travel trailer which Bagwell had parked on property of his mother, Leona McBee, and stepfather, Ron Boone.
About two weeks before the killings, McBee asked Bagwell and Wolford to stop living on the property. Bagwell and Wolford then moved in with friends in San Antonio.
According to the testimony of Wolford, she and Bagwell returned to his mother’s house to borrow money. Wolford retired to the travel trailer because she had a headache.
A short time later, Bagwell walked over to the travel trailer and told Wolford that his mother would only give him $20. Bagwell then went back into McBee’s house. Wolford stood outside the travel trailer.
Through the window, Wolford saw Bagwell strike McBee, then heard screams and two popping noises.
Later, Bagwell took some towels and wetted them with a water hose. He wiped off a hammer and told Wolford he was going to go wipe off fingerprints and make the crime look like a robbery and rape of Tassy Boone.
The four bodies were discovered by Ronald Boone when he came home from work.
Leona McBee, 47, had been beaten and strangled, and her neck was broken. Libby Best, 24, had been shot twice in the head. Tassy Boone, 14, had been beaten, strangled, and sexually assaulted. Her neck was also broken. Reba Best, 4, had been beaten, and her skull was crushed.
