    The Unsolved Murder of Megan Curl

    How did a night out while just having fun, dancing and being social end so tragically for a young 26-year old woman? In the early morning hours of March 26, 2000, Megan Curl was found brutally murdered in her apartment. Earlier that night, Megan had reportedly gone out dancing at Electric Cowboy in Lufkin, Texas as she often did. There, it was said that she met a few men whom she socialized and had a few drinks with. Megan then went to another club called the Sports Shack, just a little ways down the road from the Electric Cowboy club, where she met another man. Megan reportedly arrived home around 1:30 a.m. and she and her neighbor/friend had a brief conversation outside their apartment complex just before an unknown man pulled up in a car. Upon seeing the vehicle, Megan told her friend that she thought it was the man she had met at the club. The two then disappeared for the night into Megan's apartment. Around 4 a.m., emergency officials were called to her apartment on a report of smoke coming from Megan's building. Within the hour the fire had been extinguished and her burned body was discovered. Although there have been many persons of interest, Megan's murder still remains unsolved. Anyone with information in Curl’s death is asked to contact Crime Stoppers at 639-TIPS.

One month later on January 9th, 2022, Taylour's car was located and impounded from a parking lot 240 miles away in Dallas, TX. 9 days later, his decomposed body was found in the trunk of his car at the impound lot. Who murdered Taylour Young and why? Why did it take so long for his body to be discovered in the trunk of his car after it was towed? Was this a potential robbery or did whoever harm Taylour have close ties with him? Family and friends of Taylour would describe him as being very quiet, humble, charismatic, friendly and a go-getter. He loved fishing, riding bikes and most of all, he loved skateboarding and his dog “GiGi.” Taylour's murder is still an on- going investigation.

    The Mysterious Death of Brandon Lawson

    Brandon Lawson went missing on August 9th, 2013 after leaving his home in San Angelo, Texas. The night that Brandon disappeared, he had gotten into an argument with his significant other due to him not returning home the day prior and the belief that he was under the influence of drugs. Before Brandon left his home, he called to notify his father that he was on his way over to his home in Crowley, Texas, which was about a 3-hour drive from San Angelo. About 45 minutes later, Brandon called his brother and told him that he had ran out of gas and that he was pulled over alongside U.S. Route 277 between San Angelo and Bronte, Texas. Brandon's brother claimed that while he was on the phone with Brandon, he seemed to have been hallucinating as none of what Brandon was saying made any sense. The strange events that took place that night still remains a mystery because shortly after, Brandon was never seen or heard from again and remained so for 8 years. On February 4th, 2022, the family of Brandon Lawson reported on the "Help Find Brandon Lawson" Facebook page that clothing had been located that matched Brandon's and was near his last known location. After further investigation, the Texas Rangers located human remains. It is believed that those remains are those of Brandon. With the recents events of the remains of Brandon Lawson being discovered, take a deeper dive as we reflect on the details about his case.

    Disappeared: What Happened to Tanisha Watkins & Ara Johnson?

    On January 5th, 1984, 2-year old Tanisha Johnson went missing from her mobile home in Austin, Texas. At the time she disappeared, she was playing outside alone on the swing set while her mother was inside their home cleaning. Minutes later, Tanisha's mother went to check on her to find that Tanisha was longer on the swing and she was nowhere in the area of their home. After an exhaustive search, no sign or trace of Tanisha has ever been found. On April 2nd, 1986, 5-year old Ara Johnson also went missing from her mobile home in Big Sandy, Texas. It is believed that sometime after Ara's father went to check on her that morning around 2AM, someone entered the home and abducted her. Investigators strongly believe that whoever took Ara had some connection to the family or knew of their regular habits. Ara's parents along with another strong person of interest were questioned by police regrading Ara's disappearance. However, Ara's case remains unsolved and she has also never been found. It has been over 35 years since Tanisha Watkins and Ara Johnson vanished from their Texas homes and never seen or heard from again. Could their abductions be crime of opportunity or was this more personal? How could two young girls just vanish from their homes and no trace of them ever discovered? Could the families of both have anything to do with their disappearances or were their abductors total strangers? If you have any information on the whereabouts of Tanisha Watkins, please contact the Austin Police Department at 512-974-0916 and if anyone has information regarding Ara Johnson, you are urged to contact the Upshur County Sheriff’s Office at (903) 843-2541 or their local authorities.
