KNOWN SERIAL KILLER Rickey Nolen McGinn, DOB 3/11/1957, DATE OF ARREST 5/26/1993

Rickey McGinn was the son of a minister and a native of Santa Ana, Texas. By the time he was finally caught, he was an unemployed construction worker and former mechanic who had been acquitted of murder before, had a history of violence including sexual violence, and was serving a “5-year suspended sentence” for kidnapping and injuring a man. He was executed by lethal injection on 9/27/2000. in Huntsville, Texas.

KNOWN VICTIMS

10/4/1984 - Thomas Jesse “Tommy” Wright (19) of Brady (and originally from Comanche) was found shot to death and left in a ditch near the intersection of FM 765 and FM 2402, east of Eola in Concho County. Tommy had gone to meet McGinn after his shift at the Feed & Seed store on the evening of Tuesday, October 2nd, 1984. He was planning on helping McGinn’s brother move.

After the shooting, McGinn fled to his sister’s home in Grenada County, Mississippi, where he was subsequently arrested. He was tried in Concho county, and - despite his likely being guilty - he was acquitted.

4/1985 - (survived) Assaulted a sophomore at Abilene Christian University who refused to have sex with him.

8/1/1986 - (survived) Sexually assaulted a girl at knifepoint in Eastland County. These charges were dismissed in 1991.

1987 - (survived) Sexually assaulted a young child and threatened to kill her and her mother if she told anybody.

1987 - Joseph Wade Hardman (survived) - kidnapped, tied to a tree, and beaten with a cedar post and a mesquite branch in Brown County, Texas. This victim also was a violent criminal and sex offender.

1988 - Charged with making a terroristic threat against his ex in Brown County. That charge was also dismissed.

1989 - Sherri Newman (29) - sexually assaulted and beaten to death in Brownwood.

11/27/1992 - Christi Jo Egger (19), sexually assaulted and beaten to death, found in a cemetery in Brownwood.

1993 - Stephanie Rae Flanary, 12 (his step-daughter) sexually assaulted and beaten to death with the dull side of an ax, found in a drainage culvert.

Other possible victims:

Unknown Victim - Rising Star, Texas - someone contacted us about a woman who may have been at a bar near Rising Star being killed by him. That person believed that the woman was victim Sherri Newman, but we have verified she died in Brownwood. This possibly indicates another victim.

1989 - Amanda “Sissy” Goodman - some people believe McGinn is a good suspect for her murder, but there are other good suspects - among them a pastor whose truck disappeared for a week and then reappeared with a new window a week later.

THE MURDER OF TOMMY WRIGHT

Concho County, TX 10/4/1984 Homicide

Thomas "Tommy" Wright (19) was found fatally shot in Concho County, Texas on October 4th, 1984. He was likely the victim of serial killer Rick McGinn, although McGinn was found not guilty of his murder by a jury in this case.

Mr. Wright was born June 16th, 1965 in Utica, New York and spent the majority of his unfortunately-short life in Comanche, Texas. Mr. Wright moved from Comanche to Brady, Texas around his 19th birthday and began working as a warehouseman at the Paitners Feed, Seed, Wood and Mohair.

On Tuesday, October 2nd, 1984, Tommy headed out to meet a family friend named Rick McGinn. They had planned, along with a friend of McGinn's, to help one of McGinn's brothers with a move. Tommy usually drove a motorcycle, but he had borrowed a van for the evening. One of his friends has stated that her last memory of him was him sitting in the van trying to convince her and one of his sisters to come with him to help with the move. He was last seen alive by a store attendant around 11 pm that evening at a convenience store in Eden, Texas in the company of Rick McGinn, Rick's brother, and the third man was unknown. The borrowed van was abandoned at that same convenience store and was discovered the following weekend by friends of Tommy's family.

Two days later, on Thursday, October 4th, a farmer found Tommy's body in a ditch near the intersection of FM 765 and FM 2402, east of Eola in Concho County. He had 5 gunshot wounds in his body made by a large-caliber handgun. Law enforcement estimated that based on the state of the body, he was likely killed Tuesday night/early Wednesday morning.

An acquaintance of Mr. Mcginn's shared the following memory with us from a time prior to Tommy's murder: "There was a time when ___ and I rode to the store with Rick in his car (the one he had at the time Tommy was killed) and when we got to the store, Rick opened the glovebox to get something out and he had a handgun in there. I was sitting in the front seat, and he closed it quickly."

Rick McGinn was long gone by the time Tommy's body was discovered. He had reportedly gone to visit his sister in Mississippi. Authorities arrested him in Grenada County, Mississippi, and he was charged with murder. His case did go to trial, but the jury acquitted him. Mr. McGinn went on to commit additional crimes including at least three other murders. (For more on him, please see this post: tinyurl.com/mprft68p)

Although he was legally acquitted in this case, based on his subsequent known crimes, we believe it is likely that he did commit this murder. McGinn eventually received the death penalty for another murder, and there are those who have expressed regret that he was not found guilty in this case. If he had been, his other victims might still be around.

Despite Mr. McGinn no longer being a potential threat, it is not clear to Tommy's loved ones whether he acted alone in this case. Where were the two other men seen with them by the time Tommy was shot? Who was that third, unknown man?

Tommy Wright's family members describe him as a tender, caring, loving, kind "good ol' boy" who enjoyed teasing the people he loved - but he didn't have a mean bone in his body. "He would laugh a big ole' belly laugh if he got you to fall for it or if it pissed you off." A friend of his later described him "as a wonderful guy, always happy and always had the biggest smile."
