The Resolved: The Dallas/Fort Worth ‘80s Murders Part 8

Among the names on the list of cases assigned to the Fort Worth Special Homicide Task Force in the mid-1980s were Lisa Griffin and Ginger Hayden, two young women who, at their core, weren’t incredibly different from one another. Their deaths – though at the hands of violence – were very different, however, in almost every way imaginable. Their cases, too, would ultimately prove to be dissimilar. Lisa’s case was solved in a relatively short period of time, within several months, while Ginger’s took decades. In both cases, the killer was someone who was acquainted with the victims, though to much different degrees. That wasn’t the case in Terri McAdams’s murder in neighboring Arlington, a case the Fort Worth task force was keeping an eye on. Finally solved nearly 40 years after the tragedy, the madman who killed Terri, unlike in the cases of Lisa Griffin and Ginger Hayden, could easily be theorized as responsible for other area murders before her death.
