Frieda Lorraine Becky Powell was a 15-year-old white female murdered in Denton County, Texas. Henry Lee Lucas later described killing her in June 1983, saying an argument led to Powell slapping him, after which he drew a knife and immediately stabbed her. The account states he then engaged in necrophilic acts and dissected her body.

Lucas is a convicted killer whose later notoriety rests on hundreds of false confessions; many of those claims were disproven and investigators found he had been given details in some cases. Lucas was convicted of multiple murders, received a death sentence that was later commuted to life, and died in prison in 2001 from congestive heart failure.

Did anyone who lived in Denton County in 1983 or knew Powell come forward with further details about her life or the case?
