Kathy Page | The Texas Murder That Inspired Three Billboards Jan 13, 2020

Show notes

In 1991, Kathy Page, a mother of two from Vidor, Texas, was found dead in her car—staged to look like an accident. But authorities quickly realized it was murder. The investigation, however, was mishandled, and the case went cold.

Frustrated by the lack of justice, Kathy’s father took matters into his own hands—erecting billboards that accused a well-known suspect. These signs not only shook the town of Vidor but also inspired the Oscar-winning film Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri.

In this episode, we uncover:

▪️The crime scene details and why police suspected a cover-up

▪️ How Kathy’s father fought for justice

▪️ The lasting impact of the billboards—and the truth behind the case

🎧 Listen now to explore one of Texas' most infamous unsolved murders.
