Episode 135 Thomas Clancy Sr. Thomas Clancy Sr was a proud and decorated WW2 veteran who became a successful businessman in Dallas, Texas when he moved there with his large family in the 1960s. Thomas and his wife of 35 years divorced, and he found himself re-married a couple years later. But Thomas's second marriage appeared to be falling apart, and was on the verge of divorce. In November 1983, Thomas was also dealing with a very sick daughter who was hospitalized and not expected to pull through. He wanted to be by her side, and that's why his family became so worried after the 60 year old failed to show up at the hospital after a few days. They scrambled to call around and find him. They learned that his second wife had confronted him and a female co worker at a bar and that she had threatened to kill the co worker. When Thomas left the bar that night, he was never seen again. Just days later, Thomas Clancy Sr's Cadillac was located across from the bar he was last seen at by his son. His body was found inside the trunk. He had been shot to death. As some of Thomas's adult children tried to cope with what had happened, they soon were troubled by some of the things that Thomas's wife, and two of his sons had said and done during the time Thomas was missing and after his body was found. It wasn't just odd to them, but police also seemed to suspect someone close to Thomas had murdered him, and they looked closely at Thomas's inner circle, but despite police suspicion, no arrests have ever been made in the case, and it left a family suspicious of each other. Forty years later the case is still unsolved. Thomas's daughter Barbara still carries on the fight for justice for her father. She wants to know who murdered him and why. In this episode, she discusses not only her dad's terrible murder, but about the accomplished life he led.
