A rusty pitchfork lies on hay beside a green wall, and a broken wooden handle rests on a dark car seat. The scene is dimly lit.

Filed by: Loretta & David Smitty

Location: Crouse Family Dairy, Tyler, Texas

Date: November 19, 2025

Case Status: Active Investigation



Evidence Drop

At 2:19 p.m., we recovered a broken pitchfork behind the shed—tool head intact, handle snapped clean. No blood. No prints. Just discarded in the straw like it didn’t matter.


At 3:47 p.m., we searched Jessie Morales’ truck. In the bed, tucked under a feed sack, we found the missing handle.


Wood grain matches the splinters embedded in Hal Crouse’s skull. No blood on the handle. No prints. But it’s a match.


Jessie says the pitchfork broke last week during a feed run. Claims he tossed the handle in the truck and forgot.



Scene Observations

  • Handle broken clean at the base.

  • Tool head and handle recovered separately—intentional separation likely.

  • No signs of rust or weathering—break is fresh.



Investigator’s Note

The killer didn’t just use a farm tool. They staged it. Left the head behind the shed like trash, planted the handle in Jessie’s truck like bait.



Reader Assignment

Clue #2 is on the table. Was Jessie sloppy, or is someone framing the farmhand? Submit your theory. Next post, we track Clint Dyer’s truck sighting at 3 a.m.
