solve robbery-killing
By TIM FOARDE
Battalion StalT
' An Aggie ring stolen from a rob
bery victim has led police to four
irrests in an Oct. 5 robbery-killing
'u Houston.
1 Richard Rosenbaum, 24, Class
»f79, and his roommate, Jim Till-
bian, 41, were en route to Hous
ton’s Hobby Airport and decided
to take side streets to avoid traffic
j nd high water caused by the
■vening’s rain, Rosenbaum said.
I' Their truck stalled, and they
ijvent to a nearby grocery store to
vait for the rain to stop. Outside
|.jhe store they met four men who
sked them for cigarettes and if
they needed help, Rosenbaum
said.
On their way back to the truck
they were confronted by the same
men about a block from the store,
he said. One of the men fired two
gunshots in the air as they
approached.
Although Tillman offered no re
sistance, Rosenbaum said, one of
the men pulled a knife and stab
bed him twice in the back, once in
the chest and stomach and in the
leg.
The man then attacked Rosen
baum, who had been tripped by
two of the other men, and stabbed
him once in the side. Rosenbaum

said the men took his wallet, car
keys and Aggie ring.
Tillman died the next day.
Rosenbaum was treated at Memo
rial Southeast Hospital and re
leased.
Homicide Detective J.C.
Mosier said he had few leads until
discovering that Rosenbaum’s
ring had been sold in a pawn shop
near the site of the attack.
Mosier said if it had not been for
the ring, the case could not have
solved, since there had been no
positive identification of the men.
When the ring was found,
Rosenbaum’s name was still read
able on the inside, although the
seller had tried to scratch it out,
the detective said.
Mosier traced the ring to the
seller, a man on probation for
burglary.
“We kept the suspect under
surveillance and waited for him to
go to his regular probation session
on Oct. 20,” Mosier said. ‘T went
to the probation office and
arrested the suspect when he
showed up for the appointment. ”
The arrested man then impli
cated three other men, Mosier
said. Two were arrested Oct. 21
and the fourth turned himself in
the next day.

Volunteers at Crisis Hotline
lend a sympathetic ear to people
with problems — but they’re lis
tening for only nine hours each
day.
“Crisis Hotline is for people
that have problems and don’t
know where to turn,” Frank
Wurbs, Hotline coordinator, said.
“Many aren’t aware of their op
tions and are just looking for a
friend to listen and understand.”
Crisis Hotline was created in
January 1979 by the Brazos Valley

tion Foundation and is also sup
ported be the Community Action
Agency and the Greenleaf Hos
pital.
Volunteers answer the phone
in three-hour shifts from 3p.m. to
midnight. The Hotline is unable
to operate 24 hours a day because
of the shortage of volunteers. The
Hotline currently has a staff of 21
volunteers and receives between
150 to 250 calls per month.

“Depression and loneliness are
probably the two most common
types of emotional calls, ” Wurbs
said. “We get calls in areas such as
wife abuse, child abuse, drug
addiction, rape, scholastic difficul

“Quite often people call the
Hotline because they are hesitant
to talk about the problems with
someone else. Perhaps they are
wondering if they should go to a
psychologist or counselor. ”
