Fort Worth, Texas in the 1970s was a stomping ground for killers. In February of that year, 25-year-old June Ward was brutally murdered and thrown on the side of West Fuller. While June’s case hardly got the press and investigative effort she deserved, a slaying that occurred in the summer got much less. On June 4th, 1977, workers cleaning up at Sycamore Park south of downtown found the body of 31-year-old Ora Lee Prescott. After quickly identifying who they thought her killer was and then failing to produce sufficient evidence to charge him, the Fort Worth Police simply gave up, leaving her casefile to collect dust, by all indications, for 45 years now. Tragically, Ora Lee’s daughter, too, was slain by a serial rapist and two-time convicted murderer almost 20 years after her mother.If you have any information about the unsolved murder of Ora Lee Prescott, please contact the Fort Worth Police Cold Case Unit at (817)392-4307 or email coldcase@fortworthpd.comCheck out our pal Theron Georges’ beautiful Aluminum, Space-Age Christmas Tree books at evergleambook.com You also need Theron’s YouTube videos in your holiday life, trust me, and you can find those and subscribe at youtube.com/@spaceagechristmastreesAlso, check out season 5 of our friend T.Z.’s podcast Tapes from the Darkside anywhere you listen to podcasts, or right here: tapesfromthedarkside.comYou can support gone cold – texas true crime at patreon.com/gonecoldpodcastFind us on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram by using @gonecoldpodcastThe Fort Worth Star-Telegram, The Mansfield News-Mirror, The Washington Post, The LA Times, and passive aggressively redacted police reports were used as sources for this episode.#JusticeForOraLeePrescott #JusticeForJuneWard #FortWorth #FortWorthTX #Texas #TX #TexasTrueCrime #TrueCrime #TrueCrimePodcast #ColdCase #Unsolved #Murder #UnsolvedMurder #FebruarySlayings #BathtubKiller
