Crime report:
stereos targeted
The month of April saw an in
crease in vehicle burglaries in which
custom stereos were the target of
thieves, according to a Crime Stop
pers report.
Several burglaries have been re
ported where thieves break the win
dow of a vehicle and methodically
remove stereo components, the re
port says.
In each case the retail value of the
stolen components has been esti
mated between $2,500 and $6,000.
College Station detectives report
the thefts occur both during the day
and night at various public and pri
vate locations. Detectives believe the
thieves sell or trade the stolen items
in the local area.
One such burglary was committed
April 2 near the A&M Consolidated
High School while classes were in
session. In this case, the actor(s)
pried out the window of the vehicle
on the passenger’s side and removed
a radar detector, Alpine equalizer
and various amplifiers.
This week the College Station Po
lice Department and Crime Stoppers
need your help in identifying the
person(s) responsible for this bur
glary. If you have information that
could be helpful, call Crime Stop
pers at 775-TIPS. When you call,
Crime Stoppers will assign you a
coded number to protect your iden
tity.
If your call leads to an arrest and
grand jury indictment, Crime Stop
pers will pay you up to $1,000 in
cash. Crime Stoppers also pays cash
for information on any felony crime
or the location of a wanted fugitive.
C/r/ found strangled
Grand Jury
indicts parents
ODESSA (AP) — The parents of
an 8-year-old girl whose body was
found in a field have been indicted
on charges of abusing her corpse
and giving authorities false informa
tion in her death.
An Ector County grand jury re
turned the indictments Monday in
the case of Gloria Castillo, who was
strangled and her body dumped in
an abandoned field last month.
The indictments accuse Jose Fran
cisco Castillo, who was reported to
be the victim’s father, and Ninefa
Castillo, the victim’s mother, with
abuse of a corpse when they were al
leged to have illegally moved the vic
tim’s body away from their trailer
house in West Odessa.
The couple also was charged with
making false reports to law investi
gators and lying while under oath, a
misdemeanor, said Michael Griffin,
a prosecutor in the Ector County
Criminal District Attorney’s office.
Grand jurors also indicted Donald
Wayne Bleckler, 31, of Stamford
with two counts of aggravated sexual
assault against another child. Griffin
confirmed that the aggravated sex
ual assault victim was another
Odessa child, but not the deceased.
Gloria Castillo’s mother reported
her child missing from her West
Odessa home on April 14. The girl’s
decomposed body was discovered a
week later in a vacant field.
An autopsy showed that the girl
had been strangled, and authorities
said a rope was around the girl’s
neck when her body was found.
Griffin said Bleckler was a trailer
maintenance man at the mobile
home park where the Castillos lived.
The indictments also charged
Bleckler with abuse of a corpse and
making a false report.
Bleckler remained in Ector
County Jail on Tuesday in lieu of a
$250,000 bond set by Justice of the
Peace R.G. Hungerford. Griffin de
clined to elaborate further about the
case, but said the investigation is
continuing.

Donna Hofford was elated that
her 1-year-old son was found, police

drifters, had taken Gee from an east
side Fort Worth motel on June 8,
1989, they said.
Lake Tawakoni police and the
Hunt County sheriffs office ar

covered Gee. The woman was in the
Tarrant County Jail in lieu of
$50,000 bond on a kidnapping com-
