Like the title, for some reason I had never known this case was solved based on DNA testing on the hair found in the stocking cap. Looks like this happened in 2003. Still wish there were more details on why it happened. Here is a link. I apologize, as I'm sure this has been talked about before, but if not, here it is:

It might have something to do with the fact that the segment had not been rerun on Lifetime. But I remember that case because the boy was killed on his fifth birthday.

For years, I had misremembered the date of the double homicide as Christmas Day in 1981. But I eventually learned that I was off by only two days; the murders occurred on December 23, 1981. But I was correct about the year.

Yeah, I kept getting messed up with the case too, thinking it was Christmas Day. Glad the SCUM is in jail now...one of the worst cases ever profiled.

This blog writer/reporter lady was trying to get an interview with the killer George Washington Hicks. Very interesting

This case bothers me a lot. It hit close to home. Honestly I don't want to hear anything he has to say unless it's going to help the victims family get further closure(which I don't see)or solve another case. I have little doubt he probably has more victims. What's sad is that I read somewhere that he went up for parole recently. Not that he'll ever get out but the families should not have to stress about a parole hearing.

Ok so I read the post. He sounds full of sh. Like he's saying if I wasn't wrongfully convicted I wouldn't of been caught for the other crimes I did. What a POS. Leave him be. He doesn't deserve anything.

This case really bothers me still, especially since a child was involved. What gets me is how George was able to get to and then abduct Roxann and Kristopher. I believe the coroner said Kristopher died first, and it's terrifying to think that Kristopher, just 5 years old to the day, was shot in the forehead, right in front of his mother, before Roxann herself was shot dead, and all of this happened right on Kristopher's birthday and right around the corner from Christmas day. Just awful. They even though her brother was somehow involved in the murders due to his ties to drug dealers, but completely unrelated as we later found out.

Another thing that gets me is that the police officer who discovered Roxann's car and then the bodies out in rural Texas was there mere moments after the murders. Had he been there just a bit earlier, he might have been able to prevent the deaths of Roxann and Kristopher. Oh God, if only. 😯

I also wonder who George's female accomplice was, if there was one at all. Thank God this scum is off the streets and not killing another young mother and her child.

Well it was in Dallas county if i recall correctly the southern mesquite tx area near where interstate 20 and 635 meet. which is no longer that rural. Today mesquite probably has about 200k population a suburb of south-west Dallas. It would have been less populated back then. Clearly he knew that area and knew where he could assault her in a rural sector where people would not see him. He's lucky he got away considering the sheriff deputy was right behind him and so many witnesses saw him. I was always amazed that this was unsolved for so long. and that was such a terrible crime to assault a mother and her child. It is definitely one of my less favorite episodes.

Last year, the TV show On the Case with Paula Zahn covered the case in the episode "Field of Nightmares." Surprisingly, the episode made no mention of the unidentified woman witnesses reported seeing outside Roxann's apartment. Nor did it mention the (then-unknown) man going to a gas station and unsuccessfully demanding to use the phone. However, the episode mentioned a similar thing: An eyewitness reported seeing a man walking near her residence and he asked to use her phone, but she declined his request and he moved on. This eyewitness account, though not specifically mentioned on UM (if I remember correctly), implies that the aforementioned gas station visit wasn't the only time when the man tried to get permission to use a phone.

Hmmm didn't know that I'd really like to see that
