Our cards this week are Agustin Chacon, the King of Clubs from Texas, and Marshall McCarthy the 5 of Hearts from Texas.
Agustin Chacon, 25, and Marshall McCarthy, 37, were both shot to death in their homes in the same Odessa, Texas, neighborhood on the same winter night in 1982. While Marshall’s case nearly had too many leads for investigators to chase, Agustin’s hardly had any. A language barrier between police and Agustin’s roommates made things even harder. Now, more than 40 years later, one cold case detective is working through the different challenges in each case as she tries to solve both of these men’s murders.
- If you know anything at all about the murders of Agustin Chacon or Marshall McCarthy, or knew Agustin Chacon in Odessa in 1982, contact Detective Lauren Gonzales at 432-335-4926, or contact the Odessa Crime Stoppers if you want to remain anonymous, at (432) 333-8477.

Please share this episode with anyone you know who lives in Odessa or may know someone who does. We have generated a transcript for this episode in Spanish as well as a digital flyer in the hopes of getting folks to come forward in Agustin's case which you can find here.
