The news of Texas covered today includes:Our Lone Star story of the day: Because Trump announced it, the Hearst newspapers are down playing, even belittling, the planned $300 billion, yep, with a “B”, refinery at the Port of Brownsville. Such a massive investment is transformational for the Rio Grande Valley as well as Texas and it will mainly refine West Texas Intermediate crude. It would be the first new, and modern tech, refinery in the county in almost half a century. But note how hard the Houston Chronicle goes to downplay it all: Trump's $300B Texas refinery project draws skepticism from experts. (Note how light the story is on these supposed “experts!”)Oil and gas drilling rig count down this week in Texas.Our Lone Star story of the day is sponsored by Allied Compliance Services providing the best service in DOT, business and personal drug and alcohol testing since 1995.Local sales tax numbers are in for the March report.

After the discovery of the burnt car that belonged to millionaire Houston oilman Ed Baker, speculation was abound. Though the medical examiner finally ruled that the body found inside was indeed Edward Gerald Baker's, some folks didn't buy the ruling. They insisted the oilman had faked his own death and skipped country to avoid the lawsuits against his company or worse – jail time. Harris County Sheriff's Investigators, however, didn't really buy that. Though they seemed to believe that Ed's death was the result of an elaborately planned suicide, they couldn't prove it and still had to leave their minds open to the theory that the man was killed as the result of a mob hit. To this day, exactly what happened to Ed Baker remains a mystery. Part 2 of 2. If you have any information about Edward Gerald Baker's case, please contact Crime Stoppers Houston at 713-222-8477. Inc. Magazine, The Miami Herald, The Houston Chronicle, and the television series Unsolved Mysteries were used as sources for this episode.

On his weekly Chipped Ham & Football podcast, Post-Gazette Steelers insider Brian Batko welcomes Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle for the Texans perspective on the teams' NFL playoffs matchup Monday night at Acrisure Stadium. Will the cold weather give coach Mike Tomlin's team an advantage against its dome-dwelling opponent? Or will the elements be a wash for QB Aaron Rodgers and pass catchers including DK Metcalf, Calvin Austin III, Pat Freiermuth and Kenneth Gainwell? How well is Texans QB C.J. Stroud playing right now? And how much can he threaten the Steelers defense led by Cam Heyward, T.J. Watt and Jalen Ramsey? And how will the Texans' elite defense handle the return of Metcalf from suspension? Our duo tackles those questions and more. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

In April 1988, the quiet lakeside community of Lakeway, Texas was shaken when 45-year-old Betty Ann Thomas vanished from her home on Cold Water Lane. A violent scene inside the residence suggested a targeted attack, and two days later, Betty was found in the trunk of her Jaguar outside an Austin hotel, bound, gagged, and executed. Her murder became the first, and still the only, homicide in Lakeway's history.As detectives uncovered Betty's life story and examined her home for clues, an eerie parallel emerged: her father-in-law had been murdered in a similarly cold-blooded fashion eight years earlier. Though investigators explored every possibility, including motives involving money and past associations, the case ultimately went cold.Decades later, advancements in forensics, including an unidentified male DNA profile and recent fingerprint matches, have reignited the investigation. Nearly forty years on, Betty's family and the Lakeway community continue to wait for justice.If you have any information about the murder of Betty Ann Thomas, please call the Lakeway Police Department at (512) 261-2800.Sources: The Austin American-Statesman, The Seguin Gazette-Enterprise, The San Antonio Express-News, The Houston Chronicle, The Clinton Eye, The Clinton Daily Democrat, The Lawrence Journal-WorldYou can support gone cold and listen to the show ad-free at https://patreon.com/gonecoldpodcastFind us at https://www.gonecold.comFor Gone Cold merch, visit https://gonecold.dashery.comFollow gone cold on Facebook, Instagram, Threads, TikTok, YouTube, and X.
