Detectives Release Sketch of Suspect Who Murdered Lesbian Couple in TX

Authorities have released a sketch of the suspect responsible for the deaths of two women in Galveston County, TX.

Crystal Jackson and her long-time girlfriend Britney Cobsy were discovered dead in a dumpster on Friday in Galveston, TX. It is being said the two were apparently traveling together to the beach for Mardi Gras festivities. Neither families heard from them since Wednesday.

The homicide has not been classified as a hate crime, however authorities say the car they were driving was stolen and may belong to whoever killed them.

There are also reports that each of the ladies were killed in different ways and that their bodies may have been moved to where they were discovered after they were already dead.
