Local Lore

In 1946, the two Texarkanas were the site of killing spree, in which 5 people were murdered and several others injured. Dubbed by papers as the "Texarkana Moonlight Murders," the violence focused on couples occupying popular "make-out" spots in and around the town, such as backroads and "lovers' lanes". The events inspired the film "The Town That Dreaded Sundown", released in 1977, written and directed and starring Charles B. Pierce. Some of the facts of the original case were fictionalized or altered for the film, including victims' names. The only description of the killer was that he wore a plain pillowcase over his head, with eyeholes cut out. The case was never solved and the spree ended with no suspects arrested. Technically, the case is still open, though as of 2006 it is considered cold. 1946 (MCMXLVI) was a common year starting on Tuesday. ... For the album by Ash, see 1977 (album). ... 2006 is a common year starting on Sunday of the Gregorian calendar. ...


A man by the name of Youell Swinney, who was 29 at the time, was arrested and charged with the murders shortly after they occurred. He was later released from prison in 1974 after serving 28 years for the Moonligh Murders,when a judge acknowledged his appeal that he had not received a fair trial. He had been implicated by his wife who claimed she was present when he committed the murders, yet her various accounts varied each time she told them. Swinney himself denied having any involvement, which he maintained until his death in 1993 at age 76. Still, many believe he was the murderer, including several of his prison inmates who claimed Swinney had confessed to them.
