The father of one of two women whose bodies were found behind a Dumpster in Texas has been charged with evidence tampering in both killings, which may have been motivated by the victims’ sexual orientation.
James Larry Cosby, 46, from Houston, remains jailed on $500,000 bond, said Galveston County Sheriff Henry Trochesset.
Trochesset said the investigation is ongoing and charges against Cosby could be upgraded to capital murder.
‘It appears that the young ladies may have been murdered in his home,’ he said.The bodies of Britney Cosby and Crystal Jackson, both 24, who investigators say were in a romantic relationship, were discovered March 7 next to a trash bin behind a store in Galveston.
Officials say Miss Cosby died from blows to the head and Jackson from a gunshot wound.
Loranda McDonald, Cosby’s mother, suggested that her father may have murdered the young woman because she was a lesbian.
