I just had an Aggie Band Mom and a current Aggie Band senior tell me about a serial killer who was a fully vested graduate of A Battery Artillery band and took out 11 women. Evidently, there's a TV series about him.

Perhaps A Battery should change their motto from "Noble Men" to "Lady Killers" on their t-shirts.

A little more context would be helpful.

Edward Harold Bell, May 26, 1939 April 20, 2019

an A&E documentary in 2017 called "The Eleven" tried to connect him to a string of unsolved murders, including two Galveston girls who went missing in 1971.

Bell wrote a chilling confession letter from prison, almost 30 years after the girls were found dumped in a bayou in Texas City, claiming he was brainwashed into killing Debbie Ackerman and Maria Johnson, both of whom were students at Ball High School.

He graduated from A&M and was in the Aggie Band, BUT he was there years before the band had individual outfits, so no way was he in A Battery.

According to the Aggie Network he graduated in 1962. And had a few screws loose.

Reading that disgusts me how we have become such ******* when it comes to executing people. House and feed them for decades when they should have been killed soon after the trial.

If you happen to be ambivalent about the death penalty just wait until a murder happens to someone you know. A very close friend of mine lost her sister to a murderer in 1973, she was raped and shot while walking home in NYC, they've never caught the guy. And then there is Tim Merka '73, a classmate of mine. I actually wrote the warden a congratulations letter when these 2 were done away with. There was absolutely no reason to keep them alive as long as they did.
