Blood, Oil and Money: The Murder of Bill Richardson

August 1, 1971, was a sultry Sunday night in Corpus Christi, Texas. Just after 11 p.m., four shotgun blasts pierced the quietness of the city’s oil elite neighborhoods. The body of William “Bill” Asher Richardson Jr., world champion pigeon shooter and debonair oilman, hit the floor by the glove compartment of his car. His killer(s) fled without a trace...but the homicide would spur the largest corruption investigation in local history. Join us for Part 1 of a three-part series discussing this unsolved murder.
