Shirley Ann Stark and Susan Rigsby, Chi Omega sorority sisters at the University of Texas at Austin, left their Dallas homes early and drove together in Shirley's Corvair to Austin. Little did they know the fate that awaited them later that afternoon as they visited the apartment of a friend and fellow UT student. The following day, the women were reported missing. A twelve-day nationwide search ensued, ending with the discovery of their bodies in a north Austin field. As one Associated Press reporter would later write, \"The story held all the elements of a classic murder case: Campus beauties, youth, mystery, terror, and social standing.'' \u003cstrong\u003eAuthor Alan Burton revisits the forgotten, gruesome, and tragic double homicide that shook the Lone Star State. \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThroughout his professional writing career, \u003cstrong\u003eAlan Burton \u003c\/strong\u003ehas been honored by the Associated Press, Texas School Public Relations Association, and Oklahoma College Public Relations Association.
