David Strickland was arrested for the murder of Mollie Origin and sexually assaulting Mollie and Kristene Chapa.

After two years of that tragic incident, David, then-29, was charged with capital murder, aggravated assault with a weapon, and aggravated sexual assault.

One day, Kristene’s father received a suspicious letter, where undisclosed information about the June 22 incident was mentioned.

The letter mentions a man from Layton, Utah, as the main culprit; later, the police found out the man had an alibi.

The investigation revealed that Laton’s man photo, in the letter sent to Chapa’s father, was taken by Strickland’s wife, Laura.

David had burglarized Layton’s man house a year before. When police searched his vehicle on the robbery charge, they discovered two guns, ammunition, a suppressor, gloves, and other items.

Further investigation found Strickland’s cell phone was near Chapa’s house when the letter was delivered.

On June 20, 2014, Strickland’s couple was arrested and held at San Patricio County Jail. 

David was also charged with capital murder, aggravated sexual assault, and aggravated assault.

Laura was charged with tampering with the evidence, but later the charges were dropped. On September 28, 2016, the San Patricio Country jury reached a verdict and sentenced David to prison.
