HOUSTON (AP) — Real estate
signs are sprinkled throughout the
Southbend subdivision, but one in
particular is a car stopper.
It reads: “For Sale. 2-2-2 with 45-
plus known toxic chemicals at no ex
tra charge. Inquire within.” A black
flag with a skull and crossbones is
planted next to the sign in the front
yard.
Dani Pimental said the sign is a
symbol of her anger at the federal
Environmental Protection Agency,
charged with cleaning up pits of
toxic chemicals at the Brio Super
fund site. The site is less than a block
from the front door of her two bed
room, two bath, two-car garage
home — with extras.
An increasing number of resi
dents in this 600-home subdivision
in southeast Houston are voicing
mistrust and disgust with the EPA.
Many want the cleanup process
halted until they can be assured,
through independent assessments,
just what exists at the site and that a
total cleanup will be done.
“For years, we’ve been swallowing
what they’re saying hook, line and
sinker,” Southbend resident Cheryl
Finley said. “We’ve got so many sus
picions now against these people, we
don’t know who to trust anymore.”
The 58-acre Brio site was a man
ufacturing facility under various
company names from 1957 to 1982.
In 1982, Brio Refining, which
conducted styrene processing arid
petroleum refining at the site, went
bankrupt, abandoning a hazardous
chemical recycling operation and
pits of toxic wastes.
The site was put on the EPA’s Su
perfund cleanup list in 1984 and a
group of companies, called poten
tially responsible parties, or PRPs,
which had provided chemicals for
processing at the site, formed the
Brio Task Force in 1985.
The task force, under EPA scru
tiny, is charged w ith determining the
extent of contamination, research
ing and recommending cleanup
methods and conducting and paying
for the cleanup.
The EPA and the task force are
awaiting approval by the U.S. Justice
Department so that a consent decree
can be signed and a cleanup can be
gin — a move many residents hope
to delay.
Residents are concerned about
possible health risks of being near
the Brio site, even though the Texas
Department of Health and the Cen
ters for Disease Control in Atlanta
have said they have no evidence that
We’ve got so many
suspicions now against
these people, we don’t
know who to trust
anymore.”
— Cheryl Finley,
Southbend resident
living in Southbend poses a health
risk.
Allyn Davis, director of the haz
ardous management division at
EPA’s Region 6 in Dallas, disputed
other allegations that the EPA does
not know what chemicals are there,
“We definitely have a good handle
on what’s out there,” Davis said. “We
know enough about the site to dean
it up.”
A group of about 40 people
joined to form Parents Against Brio,
which is researching a possible link
between past activities at the site and
birth defects.
Some Southbend residents want a
government buyout of the subdivi
sion, while others just want a
cleanup they can believe in.

Woman claims husband
made her aid in murders
THE
ANDSTONE
CENTER
4201 Texas Avenue South, College Station
DECATUR (AP) —Jury selection
begins Monday in the murder trial
of a 29-year-old woman who con
tends she was a battered wife acting
under duress when she aided her
husband in the sex slayings of two
women.
Sharon Dollar Lardi Green is
charged with murder in the stabbing
and bludgeoning death of Betty Jo
Monroe, 28, of Amarillo. She faces
separate charges in the death of
Sandra Lorriane Bailey, 27, of Fort
Worth.
Green has told authorities she saw
her husband, Ricky Green, kill the
women in the couple’s mobile home
in Boyd, about 10 miles northwest of
Fort Worth. She said her husband
forced her to stab at least one of the
women and help him dispose of both
bodies.
Green, 29, has admitted killing
the women and also a man and boy
in Fort Worth, and says his wife par
ticipated in the women’s deaths. He
maintains she also was involved in
sexual assaults on the women and at
tacked them on her own.
Green said she only cooperated
with her husband because he had
beaten her many times and threat
ened to kill her and her relatives.
She said she had known about the
slain man and boy but remained si
lent out of fear.
Mrs. Green’s family portrays the
husband as a physically abusive alco
holic who threatened harm to his
wife and her young daughter.
His family paints Mrs. Green as a
drug addict wno excelled at manipu
lating people.
Monroe’s nude body was found in
a culvert in the Flatwood community
of Wise County in October 1985.
She had been stabbed 17 times and
beaten with a hammer.
Bailey was killed about a month
later. She had been stabbed 30 times
and beaten with a hammer. Both
women had been sexually mutilated.
Defense attorney Charles Baldwin
said Mrs. Green is a victim of the bat
tered wife syndrome.
Wise County District Attorney Pat
Morris doesn’t agree and intends to
press for a murder conviction in the
Monroe case.
“Certainly, the state is not saying
that at some point in their married
life, Ricky did not beat Sharon,”
Morris said. “But we do not believe
she is a battered wife as in the bat
tered-wife syndrome. Beating was
part of a lifestyle they chose to lead.”
On April 25, 1989, Mrs. Green
called the Tarrant County Sheriffs
Office and said her husband was re
sponsible for the four killings.
Investigators filed two capital
murder charges against her after she
gave additional statements and
failed a lie-detector test. The charges
were later reduced to murder.
