Jimmy Don Beets, 46, a fire department captain from Henderson, Texas, was murdered on August 6, 1983. His body was found buried in a mock wishing well in the front yard of the family home near Cedar Creek Lake. Reports say he had two gunshot wounds.

His wife, Betty Lou Beets, initially reported him missing. Her son, Robert Branson, testified that Betty Lou had told him she intended to kill her husband; when Robert returned to the house about two hours later he found Jimmy Don dead and later helped conceal the body. Betty Lou Beets was charged with capital murder, convicted, sentenced to death, and executed in Texas in 2000.

The case attracted widespread attention because of the circumstances of the killing and the burial on the property. Does anyone have memories of the Henderson area in 1983 or information about Jimmy Don Beets and his life there?
