“Numerous law enforcement and criminal justice agencies – notably the Kaufman County Sheriff's Office, the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Texas Rangers – have been tirelessly working together in this investigation, and have committed an extraordinary level of investigative resources to collect and analyze evidence, pursue leads, and identify the suspects now charged with carrying out the
senseless and tragic murders of three innocent and brave Texans.”
“We have confidence that justice will be served in these cases, and our thoughts and prayers remain with the families and friends of Kaufman County District Attorney Mike McLelland, his wife Cynthia, Kaufman County Assistant District Attorney Mark Hasse, and the entire Kaufman County community.”
