Since @texasmonthly is social distancing from its paywall — here are five great quarantine #longreads that I had the honor of publishing during my time as the magazine’s editor

Unholy Act by @pamelacolloff, April 2005. Forty-five years after the body of beauty queen Irene Garza was pulled from an irrigation canal in McAllen, there is still only one suspect: the priest who heard her final confession. https://www.texasmonthly.com/articles/unholy-act/ #txlege
Free Richard Lafuente! by @mikehalltexas, October 2006. Did the kid from Plainview really drive his El Camino over Eddie Peltier on a North Dakota Indian reservation in 1983? Nobody on the rez thinks so, and neither will you. https://www.texasmonthly.com/articles/free-richard-lafuente/ #txlege
The Day Treva Throneberry Disappeared by @skiphol, March 2002. In the mid-80s the cheerful high school student vanished. After more than a decade had passed, friends and family in her North Texas town had no idea where she was—or if she was alive. https://www.texasmonthly.com/articles/the-day-treva-throneberry-disappeared/ #txlege
The Witness by @mimiswartz, November 2003. Of the four people who rode in the presidential limousine on November 22, 1963, only Nellie Connally is still alive—alone with her memories of the day that defined the rest of her life. https://www.texasmonthly.com/politics/the-witness-2/ #txlege
They Came, They Sawed by @therealjoebob, November 2004. And they most definitely conquered. The inside story of how a ragtag bunch of hippies made the wildest Texas movie ever (and spilled no more fake blood than was absolutely necessary). https://www.texasmonthly.com/articles/they-came-they-sawed/ #txlege
Please, please: When all this is over, subscribe to @TexasMonthly. Pay for journalism, and support this iconic Texas institution. It is still — as the sign over the door used to say — a great magazine #txleged
