Cold Case Spotlight

On March 8, 1987 the body of Rickey Herriage was found near the Walnut Creek Bridge off County Road 1500 in Henderson County, Texas. Rickey was the victim of multiple gunshot wounds and though there were a number of theories no motive is known. Even in a small town where Rickey was well known, no one has come forward with the information needed to bring justice to Rickey's family. Rickey was a son, brother, father, uncle and friend. His a daughter and step-son were forced to grow up without him and for over 28 years his family tirelessly sought answers. If you have any information about this murder, no matter how small you think it is, please contact the Henderson County Sheriff`s Office at (903) 675-5128. Those who wish to remain anonymous and possibly receive a Reward up to $1,000, can call Crime Stoppers at (800) 545-8477.
