Texarkana Moonlight Murders
First attack
First known attack of the Texarkana Phantom Killer took place on 22 February 1946 on a secluded lovers lane. His victims were Jimmy Hollis, 24 and Mary Jeanne Larey, 19. A masked man walked up to her car and flashed a flashlight in the window. The man had a pistol and ordered them to get out of the car. They both got out through the driver-side door and then told Hollis to take off his pants. When Hollis was removed his trousers he was struck twice in the head with a heavy blunt object that cracked his skull. Then he knocked Larey to the ground. She felt like she was hit with an iron pipe. The assailant ordered her to get up, and when she did, he told her to run. As Larey started running towards a ditch, the assailant told her not to go that way but to run up the road. While she was running, she stated she heard Hollis groaning, and that the man continued to beat and stomp him.
The assailant then ran after Larey, knocked her down again and assaulted her sexually. Larey stated he did not rape her, but abused her terribly. Later reports indicated the assailant sexually assaulted her with the barrel of his gun.
She managed to get up and run away, believing she was still being chased she ran for about half of a mile to the nearest buildings and woke up the residents.
