Murder In Texas : The True Story of Rhonda Johnson & Sharon Shaw: Stories of True Crime
Stories of True Crime
Rhonda Johnson and Sharon Shaw were two teenage girls murdered in 1971. But despite having had their lives taken so long ago, their case is still not satisfactorily solved. It’s a story that involves not just two girls being murdered so young, but a potentially innocent man imprisoned for over twenty years, a corrupt police force, a serial killer, and perhaps the wider context of the Texas Killing Fields murders.
The story of the twists and turns involved in finding justice for the two girls continues on until today. Michael Lloyd Self, the man who some believe to have been wrongly imprisoned for the murder of the two girls, has since died in prison of cancer. Because of his passing, and the difficulty that investigators have found in unearthing new evidence, it seemed unlikely that the full story will ever come out.
But not long ago, a revelation and a startling confession have brought Johnson and Shaw’s murders back into the limelight. Perhaps, at last, their families can discover the truth of their real killers.

Two very good stories
The murders of Rhonda Johnson and Sharon Shaw are considered closed. After all, Michael Lloyd Self was tried, convicted and sent to prison. Self continued to proclaim his innocence until his death. Even though another man confessed to the murders, authorities refused to reopen the case.
The Texarkana Phantom Killer found young couples in parked cars and shot them. This case is still unsolved.
