Robert Wayne Harris: A Detailed Account of His Crimes

Early Life

Robert Wayne Harris was born on February 28, 1972, in Dallas County, Texas. His early life was marked by tragedy when, at the age of 8, he witnessed his father kill his mother and then commit suicide. This traumatic event led to Harris being "bounced around among relatives," developing a stutter, and being placed in special education classes. He was bullied in school and dropped out in 9th grade. Harris was known to physically confront teachers and students and was diagnosed with aggressive conduct disorder. However, he earned his GED when he was 18.

Early Crimes

At the age of 15, Harris assaulted a mall clerk and burglarized his aunt's home. After she reported the burglary, Harris struck his aunt on the head with a hammer so hard that it broke. He spent two years in a juvenile correctional facility for this incident. Harris started dealing drugs when he was 17 years old. In 1991, Harris committed three burglaries. He initially received probation but received an 8-year sentence after fleeing a treatment program. Harris was paroled in 1999. While in prison, he spent most of his time in administrative segregation due to behavioral problems. Harris attended a program for mentally ill offenders, but the incidents continued, and he was eventually discharged for non-compliance.

Murders

On November 29, 1999, Harris abducted and fatally shot 37-year-old Sandra Scott. He later said he killed her after suspecting her of stealing money from him. Harris was initially questioned about Scott's disappearance but was not charged. When police found her truck, all of the property inside was missing, except for the keys. On March 15, 2000, Harris masturbated in front of a female customer at his workplace in Irving, Texas, Mi-T-Fine Car Wash. The woman reported the incident, and the police were called. Harris was arrested, then fired two days later. On March 19, Harris borrowed a car from a friend. ...Read More
