Episode Details

The Texas Department of Public Safety is requesting the public's assistance to resolve the 1997 cold case murder of Brent Alan Gutheinz, a college student whose body was discovered in Grayson County. Authorities have increased the cash reward to $6,000 for any information that leads to an arrest in this nearly thirty-year-old investigation. Before his death, the victim had accumulated significant debt from high-end purchases, a factor that investigators believe may be linked to his disappearance and subsequent killing. To modernize the search for the perpetrator, the Texas Rangers and local sheriff’s deputies are pursuing advanced forensic testing and seeking new leads regarding the victim's financial dealings. Individuals with relevant knowledge are encouraged to submit tips through Texas Crime Stoppers to help bring closure to the case. This effort is part of a broader statewide program designed to spotlight unsolved violent crimes and generate fresh investigative momentum.
