The Pickaxe Killer: Karla Faye Tucker | True Crime Documentary When Gregory Scott Traver was not picked up by his colleague Jerry Lynn Dean on the morning of the 14th of June 1983, Gregory immediately started to panic. As Jerry lived nearby in an apartment complex on the northwest side of Houston, Gregory headed over to Jerry's house to see if everything was okay. As he got to Jerry's home, Gregory noticed that the door was slightly open, so he let himself in. Instantly, Gregory knew that something was off as he saw that Jerry's motorcycle was missing and that the television had been moved. Hoping to find his friend alive and well, he started going through the house, looking inside every room. But devastatingly, Gregory stumbled upon the most horrific sight. Inside one of the spare bedrooms, Gregory found the body of his friend Jerry Dean, and close by was the body of a woman. Who could have committed these brutal murders, and would they ever be found to face justice for their heinous actions? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 00:00 Introduction 01:06 The Crime Scene 02:33 The Investigation 07:39 Karla Faye Tucker 11:02 The Murder 14:52 The Trial & Sentencing 16:55 Life Behind Bars 24:37 The Aftermath ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DISCLAIMER - This video contains themes of violence.
