The Murray-O'Hairs
February 1999
There have been some startling developments concerned with the disappearance of Madalyn O'Hair, Jon Murray, and Robin Murray-O'Hair. The following information was reported in the San Antonio Express-News.
The man known as Danny Fry, who is believed to have been with the Murray-O'Hairs during all or part of the time that they were in San Antonio, was murdered right after communication between us and the family was cut off. Apparently his body was dumped in southeastern Dallas County on October 2, 1995. His head and hands were crudely amputated. His clothing, head, and hands have not been found. Recent DNA tests identified the body.
The Murray-O'Hairs have still not been found.
After phone contact with the family was ended in late September, Fry went to David Waters' home in Austin. Waters is the former office manager and convicted thief, forger, and murderer who stole $54,000 from American Atheists in 1995.
David Waters claims he had only a passing encounter with Fry in 1995, yet Fry's last recorded phone call was made from Waters' Austin apartment at 2:47 pm on September 30, 1995, when he called his daughter in Florida saying he would be home soon. Forty-eight hours later he was dead. Apparently he wasn't smart enough to get far away. He foolishly hung around Texas and, after visiting with David Waters, went to a bar in Dallas and got drunk.
While in Texas, Danny Fry sent a letter to his brother Bob saying that if he wasn't back by a certain date, that meant that something serious had happened and that he should contact the authorities and bring in David Waters' name, that Waters "planned what we did," recalled Bob. Bob Fry called Waters and told him about the letter and then Waters and another unidentified man went to Bob Fry's house in Florida demanding the letter. Bob Fry told him that the letter had been destroyed. Waters told Bob that they were involved in something really heavy in Texas, and the people who planned it wanted them to get the letter back. And if they didn't, the people would come and get it, and "they wouldn't be as nice," Waters denies that the incident took place. Our hearts go out to Danny Fry's family, who are the innocent victims in all of this. We will keep you informed of any more new developments as we learn of them.
