MURDER OF ATHEIST O’HAIR

Search of Atheist Apparently Over
by Jim Vertuno, Associated Press
Philadelphia Inquirer, 1-29-01

CAMP WOOD, Texas – Investigators unearthed a metal artificial hip and three skulls at a ranch yesterday,
and strongly believe they have solved the disappearance of atheist leader Madalyn Murray O’Hair and
her family.

 
Roderick Beverly, special agent in charge of the FBI’s San Antonio office, stopped short of confirming the
identity of the bodies, but he said officials believed the search was over.
 
Investigators believe O’Hair, son Jon Garth Murray, and the granddaughter she had adopted, Robin Murray O’Hair, were· killed, dismembered, and dumped on the private, 5,000-acre ranch in 1995.

 
O’Hair had a hip-replacement operation  several years before her disappearance.
”The bones indicate three sets of human remains,” Beverly said. “All appeared to have their legs cut off.
 
The remains and the ground around the bones were charred, indicating a fire at the scene.
 
 
“The likelihood of three individuals walking around here, one of which has a hip replacement, and the trauma and marks we see on the bones, it’s a better than even chance” that the remains belong to the O’Hair family, he said.

 
The remains were found about two feet deep in the same area where human bones were found Saturday. They were in one grave area, layered on top of one another. 
 
Investigators will try to match the serial number on the metal hip to O’Hair’s medical records. DNA tests and dental records also will be used to confirm the identities, Beverly said.
 
David Glassman, chairman of the anthropology department at Southwest Texas State University, said determining the cause of death of the victims could take up to a month.
 
 
Investigators also found a skull and a pair of hands buried away from the other bodies in the pit, Glassman said.
 
The body of Danny Fry, a suspect in the family’s disappearance, was found in the Dallas area in 1995, but the head and hands had been severed.
 
Investigators got their break in the O’Hair disappearance on the eve of the trial of David Roland Waters, 
who faced kidnapping and extortion charges in the case. Waters made an agreement with investigators
Wednesday that was ordered sealed by a federal judge in Austin.

 
A law-enforcement source who spoke on the condition of anonymity confirmed that Waters was taken
to the ranch Saturday. His two lawyers also were present.

 
O’Hair, 77, and suffering from diabetes and heart disease when she disappeared, was involved in successful
court battles in the 1960s to ban prayer and Bible-reading in public schools. 
 
 
O’Hair, Jon Garth Murray and Robin Murray O’Hair left their Austin home in August 1995 under mysterious
circumstances. Breakfast .dishes were still on the table, and O’Hair’s medication was left behind. The family’s beloved dogs were left at the house.

 
They were later seen in San Antonio but dropped from sight along with about $500,000 in gold coins from one of O’Hair’s atheist organizations.
 
Prosecutors contend that the victims were dismembered at a public storage shed in Austin, placed in
55-gallon drums, and dumped on the ranch property under Waters’ directions. He had worked as O’Hair’s office manager before being convicted of stealing $54,000. He is serving 60 years in prison on weapons charges.
 
 
In August, U.S. District Judge Sam Sparks sentenced Gary Paul Karr, 52, a former jailmate of Waters’, to life in prison for extorting money from the O’Hair family.
 
O’Hair’s disappearance was not reported for a year until her estranged son, William Murray, told Austin police she was missing.
