The abduction and murder of 7-year-old Ashley Nicole Estell sent shockwaves through Plano, Texas, a Dallas suburban outlier. Crime in the community in 1993 was extremely rare, particularly crime of such violence against a child as the one against Ashley. It changed everything in Plano, and the shockwaves were felt throughout the North Texas Region if not the entire state. The investigation, at first, was going nowhere and the public feared for the safety of their children. Part 1 of 2. If you are able, please come out to Quitman, Texas on Thursday, May 4th, 2023, on the 16th anniversary of Brittany McGlone’s murder, for a vigil and a demand for #JusticeForBrittanyMcGlone.
