The Possum Cop Chronicles

The Ripper of Port A

It was wintertime, 2009 – an unusually warm day. The body could be seen floating face down in an eddy where the west wind and the outgoing tide held it in place about 10 ft. off the bulkhead that ran along the Corpus Christi Ship Channel near the Station Street Pier in Port Aransas.

The initial call that went out to law enforcement gave a description of the killer, a heavyset man in his 70s, and the out-of-state license plate number of his SUV.
