The murder of Shelley Watkins has been on former Henderson County Sheriff Ray Nutt's mind for 23 years. According to the Henderson County Crimestoppers Facebook page, Shelley was last seen alive on Sept. 6, 1993 at her residence in Beaton Estates in Corsicana. On Sept. 13, 1993, Shelley's body was discovered by fishermen in the Trinity River just west of Seven Points. She was reported missing by family members but not immediately.
Nutt said there were some days between the last time Shelley was seen alive and the actual time her disappearance was reported to the NCSO. He said says the case is not closed and they are still searching for Shelley's killer or killers. Major Bryan Tower with the Henderson County Sheriff's Office is currently working the case and fully agrees with Nutt that the case has not gone cold.
