MURDER OF ATHEIST O’HAIR

Atheist O’Hair and Two Relatives Were Killed, Report Says
by Katie Fairbank, Associated Press
The Philadelphia Inquirer, 5-28-99

For the first time since Madalyn Murray O’Hair vanished in 1995, the IRS issued a finding – and named a suspect.
 
AUSTIN, Texas – For the first time since Madalyn Murray O’Hair vanished in 1995, investigators said
that the nation’s foremost atheist and two of her children were killed and that the crime was orchestrated
by her former office manager in a plot to steal $600,000.
 
The. accusations came in a 36-page affidavit filed in court Wednesday by the IRS before a hearing for David
R. Waters, 52. At the hearing yesterday, Waters, a convicted murderer on probation for skimming $54,000 from the O’Hair family’s atheist organizations, pleaded guilty to two  gun-possession charges unrelated
to the O’Hair case. He could get up to 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine on each count.
 
Waters has not been charged in the disappearance of the O’Hairs. Madalyn Murray O’Hair, who helped bring about the 1963 U.S. Supreme Court decision banning organized prayer in public school, vanished nearly four years ago with son Jon Garth Murray, granddaughter Robin Murray – whom O’Hair had adopted – and $500,000 in gold coins.
 
At the time, authorities wondered whether the O’Hairs were victims of foul play or had merely run off
with their organization’s money. Others suggested that O’Hair, who was 77 and ailing, had gone off to
die quietly.
 
The affidavit said IRS agents had concluded that the family was killed, based on several pieces of
circumstantial evidence and reports from confidential sources.
 
The sources told the government that Waters had expressed fantasies about killing O’Hair and “spoke
about seeing Madalyn suffer and snipping off her toes.” The affidavit alleged that Waters schemed to
steal at least $600,000 from the United Secularists of America, an organization headed by O’Hair. Waters
worked for her in 1993 and 1994. 
 
Authorities suspect the family’s remains were stored in barrels and buried on a ranch near San Antonio.
However, two searches by the FBI recently failed to find barrels or bodies.
 
Also named in the affidavit is Waters’ former cellmate, Gary Karr, who is imprisoned in Detroit and
has admitted involvement in Texas homicides that closely match the O’Hair case, according to the FBI.
 
The affidavit also names Danny Fry in the alleged plot. Fry’s headless, handless body was dumped in
Texas two days after the O’Hairs vanished. The IRS said Waters was responsible for Fry’s slaying.
A fourth man is also named, but his role was unclear. 
 
“What it looks like to me is a script for Oliver Stone’s next movie,” said Waters’ attorney, Patrick
Ganne. “They don’t have any direct evidence to link him. It’s all speculation.”
 
The affidavit was used in March to obtain a search warrant of his Austin apartment. The search yielded,
among other items, personal correspondence of Jon Murray, the document said. 
 
The search also turned up an unpublished book by Waters. In one typical passage, he wrote: “To simply
label Madalyn an atheist, racist; homophobe, anti-Semite, etc., would be a tremendous misnomer. To her dubious credit, Madalyn Mays Murray O’Hair is an equal-opportunity bigot whose loathing of humanity is eagerly dispensed without partiality.”
 
Ellen Johnson, president of the United Secularists, said she still held out hope that O’Hair and the others were alive. “They’ve been digging and digging and digging, and there aren’t any bodies,” Johnson said. “I don’t
have any evidence they’re alive. But they were dear friends and colleagues. There is no way I’m going
to bury them yet.”
