MURDER OF ATHEIST O’HAIR

Case of Missing Atheist Beginning To Look Like Murder
by C. Bryson Hull, Associated Press
 4-8-99

 
DALLAS – The 1995 disappearance of atheist leader Madalyn Murray O’Hair is looking increasingly like a murder case, and the arrests of two former cellmates on firearms charges may unlock the mystery.
 
One of the men is David Waters, a convicted murderer who was the office manager for O’Hair’s organization, American Atheists, before she, her son and granddaughter vanished along with $500,000 in gold coins.
 
The other man, Gary Karr, has told investigators that he helped dispose of four bodies in Texas. One may be that of a man who disappeared after heading off to meet with Waters and discuss a deal with a lot of money. 
 
The FBI and prosecutors have not publicly linked either Karr or Waters to the O’Hair case.
 
Waters’ lawyer, Patrick Ganne, said Waters has been accused of being involved somehow in the disappearance, something Waters denies. Ganne said a federal prosecutor told him: “Your client could get the
death penalty. People are rolling over on your client and he better get right with God.”
 
O’Hair gained fame in the 1960s, when she helped wage a Supreme Court battle that removed the Bible and prayer from public schools. She later tried to remove the phrase “In God We Trust” from U.S. currency
and stop potential jurors from saying “so help me God.”
 
When O’Hair, her son Jon Murray and her granddaughter Robin Murray vanished, authorities wondered whether the family had been the victims of foul play or had merely run off with their organization’s
money. Others suggested that O’Hair, who was 77 and ailing at the time, had gone off to die quietly so Christians wouldn’t pray over her. Several tantalizing leads went nowhere, though.
 
Then, Karr and Waters were charged last month with violating a law barring felons from having weapons. Karr was arrested after two loaded guns were found in his suburban Detroit apartment. Waters was picked up in Austin after 119 rounds were found in his apartment.
 
The break could come through Karr, 50, of Novi, Mich. He has admitted to helping dispose of four homicide victims in Texas, including one with its head and hands hacked off, FBI agent Bill O’Leary testified last month at a bail hearing for Karr.
 
O’Leary did not identify the four victims or mention the O’Hairs when he testified.
 
A headless, handless body was found in a ditch near Dallas in 1995, and DNA testing identified it as that of con man Danny Ray Fry, a friend of Waters’. Investigators and Fry’s family say he had planned to meet Waters in Texas to work on a deal involving a lot of money before he disappeared.
 
O’Leary did say that Karr flew from Texas to New Jersey with one of the four homicide victims before money was wired from a Newark bank to Texas. The San Antonio Express-News reported that Jon Murray flew to Newark the week before the week before he disappeared to expedite the wire transfer of $600,000 in atheist funds from New Zealand to San Antonio, via New Jersey.
 
O’Leary did not say where the four bodies were buried. But over the weekend, the FBI and the Texas Department of Public Safety scoured a 5,000-acre ranch in Camp Wood, Texas, about 100 miles from San Antonio, in a search a DPS spokesman said was connected to the disappearance of the atheists and the gold coins.
 
Federal agents would not say what they found.
 
Karr’s lawyer, David Helfrick, would not comment.
 
Waters was convicted of beating a 16-year-old boy to death with a fence post in Illinois in 1964. He served 11 years in prison.
 
He quit as the office manager of American Atheists in 1993, just before he admitted stealing. $54,000 from the group’s accounts. Waters was given probation and ordered to repay the money.
 
Waters met Karr when the two were cellmates in Illinois. Waters was serving time for assaulting his mother and Karr was in for kidnapping and armed robbery. Waters was released in 1987, Karr in 1995,” four months before the O’Hairs disappeared.
