Black lesbian couple found dead in Galveston County Texas
http://elixher.com/breaking-black-lesbian-couple-found-dead-in-galveston-county-texas/The bodies of two Houston women, a lesbian couple, were discovered near a dumpster in Galveston County, Texas. Crystal Jackson and her girlfriend Britney Cosby, both 24, had been together for two years and lived together. Their bodies were found Friday morning next to a convenience store dumpster, reports Houston’s ABC 13.
Relatives say the two women went to Galveston for Mardi Gras. Detectives believe they were killed elsewhere and their bodies moved. Reports also indicate that they were murdered in different ways. It’s currently unclear whether this was a hate crime or there was some other motive for the murder.

Was it a hate crime? Will we know if it was? Will we be told?
... that the way they were murdered might give them a hint on whether it was a hate crime or not. Hello? Of course it was a hate crime! They were lesbians and they were found together, dead. Duh!
All we can hope is that the scene, as well as their bodies, were combed meticulously for evidence. Whenever I hear stories like this, I have a gazillion questions that weren't provided in the report. Like did they drive their vehicle to Galveston? Where was the vehicle found? Did they go with a group of friends? When was the last time they were seen alive?
I had a friend that was lesbian who was murdered about 20 years ago and they never did find a suspect. I've always thought the police probably weren't committed to finding the murderer. (In a red state, I might add.) It devastated her mother, whom my sister and I have since "adopted." We grew with that lady... we were kids together back when kids went outside and played. She was so cute and spunky. God we miss her.
My heart goes out to their families. Thanks, Will, for the OP.
Apparently there may be some video of them right before they "disappeared".
And like you, I am skeptical about just how eager authorities will be to solve this crime and determine the real motive. Sorry to say, but that's the way I feel.
Very sorry for your loss, ReRe.
