Texas Rangers have
released a refined artist rendering of the suspect in the murder of Mollie
Judith Olgin on June 22, 2012.
Mary Kristene Chapa survived the attack but was
critically injured by a gunshot wound to her head.
On July 4, 2012, a
forensic artist with the Texas Rangers worked with Chapa to develop a drawing of
the suspect. That drawing was released the same day. As her condition improved, she indicated a desire to revisit
the drawing. The same forensic artist worked with her again
on July 13, 2012 resulting in the refined drawing.
"It
is unusual to go back and refine a suspect drawing," said Chief Randy Wright. "But in this case, our eyewitness sustained a brain injury that initially affected her ability to communicate effectively.
The good news is she has made
exceptional progress. Her sight and
speech have improved and she can
now interact with the artist
much better. She asked to refine the drawing and the Texas Rangers artist agreed."
Chapa has been
working with investigators to reconstruct the crime. "She wants very badly to help us
identify Mollie's murderer," Wright said. The department continues to work closely with the
Texas Rangers and the FBI to help solve this
case.
The physical
description of the suspect has not changed. He is described as a white male in his 20s, 5 foot 8 inches, thin
build, 140 lbs with brown hair and
scruffy beard.
Persons who believe
they may know the identity of this suspect are urged to call police
department at (361) 777-4444.
