Kathryn Feagin, a 35-year-old former TV producer, was found dead in her southwest Houston apartment on May 8, 2013. Her death was discovered by a family member who had gone to check on her. When Houston police arrived at her residence on Lazy Hollow Drive, they discovered signs of blunt force trauma, leading them to suspect foul play. The police treated her death as a homicide and continued their investigation, though initially, they released limited details while awaiting the autopsy results.
Kathryn, known to friends as Greer Feagin, had previously worked as a news producer for KRIV, Fox 26 in Houston, and also for WDSU in New Orleans. She was last seen alive on the previous Sunday, which means several days passed before her body was discovered. Her apartment showed signs of having been ransacked, adding to the suspicion that her death was linked to an assault. The case drew considerable attention, especially among former colleagues in the media industry, as her background in journalism was well-known locally.
Despite the ongoing efforts of the Houston Police Department, there were no immediate arrests following her death, and it remains one of the numerous unsolved cases in the area during that time. The authorities urged anyone with information to come forward, highlighting the challenges in solving such cases without sufficient community support. Kathryn's murder was part of a broader trend of violent crime that Houston faced in the early 2010s, with increasing pressure on law enforcement to bring perpetrators to justice.
