MURDER OF ATHEIST O’HAIR

Was O’Hair Clan Abducted, Murdered?

Was O’Hair Clan Abducted, Murdered?
Reporter’s Findings Revive Investigation

DALLAS – A dogged investigation by a San Antonio newspaper reporter has reinvigorated an unsolved
murder investigation here – a probe that authorities hope will solve the 1995 disappearance of atheist icon Madalyn Murray O’Hair and two members of her family. 
 
Recent disclosures suggest that Mrs. O’Hair and her children may have been abducted, forced to assemble
more than $500,000 in cash and gold, then murdered. 
Some had theorized that the woman who once described herself as “the most hated woman in America” – because of her protracted battles against anything
connected with God and religion – had simply gathered her loved ones, rifled foundation coffers and run off to some exotic foreign land.
 
Their disappearance from their Austin home in late August 1995 seemed strange ~ left behind were three beloved dogs, unfed and unattended, the 76-year-old atheist’s diabetes pills, and a note to atheist staffers that the office was closed. However, the fact they later withdrew; from San Antonio, $600,000 from a New Zealand bank account supported those who thought the three had sought voluntarily exile.
 
Then in October 1998 San Antonio Express-News reporter John MacCormack, who had investigated the O’Hair story, noticed a wire service dispatch that Dallas police still couldn’t identify the headless, handless nude corpse of a white male dumped along a southeast Dallas County creek in the fall of 1995.
 
Mr. MacCormack previously had written a story in the ExpressNews pointing out that a Louisiana con man, Danny Fry, 42, had been missing since the last week of September 1995 – within a day of the last known contact with the O’Hairs – and both Mr. Fry and Mrs. O’Hair had had a close relationship with an Austin resident with a long police record, David Waters, 48.
 
Mr. MacCormack had discovered that Waters had been convicted of stealing $54,000 from Mrs. O’Hair’s atheist foundations during a brief stint as her business manager and that he had induced Mr. Fry to move from central Florida to Austin in the summer of 1995.
 
Mr. Fry had made his last documented phone call from Waters’ Austin apartment on Sept. 27 – a call to his daughter, Lisa, on her 16th birthday, during which he promised he would be back in Louisiana by the following Tuesday. 
Two days later, Mrs. O’Hair’s son Jon Murray took delivery of $500,000 in gold coins from a San Antonio bank. A draft for $600,000 had been wired to the bank from the New Zealand account, and
bank officials explained that Mr. Murray would have to return later for an additional $100,000 in gold. He never went back to retrieve the $100,000, and none of the three family members was seen again. There were no identifying marks – scars, tattoos, etc. – on the Dallas victim, but when Mr. MacCormack telephoned the lead detective on the case, he found that the age and size of torso seemed consistent with Mr. Fry.
 
The reporter quickly flew to Dallas to meet with investigators. “I told them who I thought their victim was … or who it could have been,” said Mr. Maccormack, “and strongly encouraged them to get DNA testing done.”
 
He supplied them with circumstantial evidence collected the previous three years and explained his theory about what really happened to the O’Hairs – a case theDallas police knew nothing about. In January, the DNA tests came back positive, and detectives here identified the corpse buried in a pauper’s grave as that of Mr. Fry.
“It’s 99 .99 percent certain,” said Dallas County sheriff’s Detective Robert Bjorklund. “Now the real work begins.”
 
The reporter found that Waters had telephoned Mr. Fry on numerous occasions, beginning in the spring of 1995, offering him work in Austin.
 
Mr. Fry’s daughter said he told her Waters had offered to cut him in on a “a big deal” but refused to explain the job.
 
Waters, previously convicted of murder, forgery, battery and theft, has consistently denied he knows. anything about either the O’Hairs or Mr. Fry.
 
“I am in no way connected with their disappearance, demise, relocation to a sunny clime or anything else that has to do with them,” Waters told Mr. MacCormack. He also told the Express-News  reporter he was never a close friend of Mr. Fry’s but acknowledged he had allowed the Florida man to live briefly at his apartment.
 
Mr. MacCormack has evidence that indicates Waters was in San Antonio with Mr. Fry while the O’Hairs were using their cellular phone from an unknown location and that Waten bought a white Cadillac for $13,000 cash there on Sept. 15, 1995, hours after Jon Murray took $10,400 in advances on two credit cards.
 
“It’s a long way from circumstantial evidence – even as strong as this – to a homicide conviction,” said one Dallas County detective, “but we’re working on it:’
