KCBD “Littlefield’s first murders remain unsolved”
On the phone, “It was like the day JFK died for the town of Littlefield, because it was their doctor.”
Dana Samuelson writes about the day Dr. Roy Hunt and his wife, Mae Franks, were found murdered in their home and the investigation that followed.
The recently released book, Clovis Road, details a rumored love triangle between Dr. Hunt and Ruth Newton, the wife of his medical school classmate.
The author says Dr. Newton hired someone to kill the couple. He appeared in trial numerous times to appeal the case.
Now the niece of Dr. Hunt tells that the community went from leaving their homes unlocked to being too scared to go outside.
Now this book is controversial, some of the family are not really happy with it, so there is another book in the works as to what really happened they say.
(Transcribed from KCBD broadcast 7.29.2010 from Littlefield in Local News Section 6:00 P.M. broadcast, the print version on their website is not the same, Dana never said the murders were still unsolved, she said to "read the book"). There were not just "rumors" about a "love triangle." Classmates were interviewed. Hunt and his brother testified about it.
