The Dallas Morning News has the lowdown — at least what there is to be known for now. DA Craig Watkins will do a press conference at 2 p.m. to explain how they got the indictment. Remember when the cops were dragging that pond off Northaven Road awhile back? I suppose at 2 we’ll know if they found something.
You can darn well bet that the DA, during the last stages of his reelection campaign, will be trumpeting that his office got an indictment on the oldest unsolved slaying of a police officer in Texas. As he should.
Here, then, is the indicted, Gary Wayne Pettigrew, 63. The image of a younger Pettigrew was taken in 1986. The handsome man in uniform is Officer Lowell Clayton “L.C.” Tribble, whom Pettigrew has been accused of killing.
