Speaker 1 (00:10):
A forty one year old Texas woman is trapped in
a violent marriage. After barely surviving a previous attack, she
gains distance and the hope of a fresh start, but
slowly he lures her back into his web, and then
one day she vanishes. Her family receives a letter from
her stating that she's leaving her husband, but they grow
(00:34):
suspicious when they don't hear from her. Her husband was
uncooperative and maintain that she just up and left their family.
It would take nearly two decades and the abduction of
another woman for the world to see just how evil
he really was. And while his wife's case remains unsolved,
one question lingers, how many more are still out there.
(00:58):
I'm your host, Maggie, and each week on a Simpler
Time True Crime, I cover older unsolved cases and challenge
the idea that a simpler time means a safer time.
This week, I'm bringing to you the disappearance and suspected
homicide of Martha Martinez Maxwell. Just as a content warning
(01:39):
up front, this case discusses intimate partner violence and some
graphic content around sexual assault. As usual, I won't include
any more than is necessary, but it does end up
being a bit more than usual because of how some
of the specific details tie the cases together, so please
take care when listening. It was April nineteen, nineteen eighty seven,
(02:01):
and Martha Martina's Maxwell woke up in a daze that
feeling when you've fallen asleep on the couch instead of
your bed and you wake up trying to orient yourself
to the world around you. But once she got her bearings,
this was something much more. The night before, Martha and
her husband of six years, Jeffrey Allen Maxwell, had argued, and,
(02:23):
like other times in their tumultuous relationship, Jeffrey had physically
abused her, striking her repeatedly. This time, as she woke up,
she realized she couldn't move her hands and that they
were bound behind her back with duct tape. According to
statements she later made to police, Martha said that as
she woke up, her husband Jeffrey attached a device to
(02:44):
her breasts that he used to then shock her. He
then forced her to drink a beverage that consisted of
brandy and vodka and used it to wash down two
sleeping pills in four Annison tablets. After that, everything went black.
At the time, Martha and Jeffrey were living with their
(03:04):
young son in the city of Wataga in Terrant County, Texas,
just outside of Fort Worth. When Martha was found, she
was barely clinging to life. She was found still bound
on the side of Interstate thirty five, about ten miles
north of Vardmore, Oklahoma, and over one hundred miles from home.
She had severe injuries all over, including her neck being
(03:27):
cut all the way across. Martha was rushed to the
hospital and police were working to figure out how to
notify those closest to her that she had been found
and was being treated at the hospital for life threatening injuries.
None of the source material explicitly states this, but I
assumed that she had some form of identification on her
(03:47):
because police in Oklahoma knew to contact Wataga police and
knew that her name was Martha Martinez Maxwell. When authorities
out of Texas found that her emergency contact was her husband,
Jay Jeffrey, they went to him and let him know
that they had found his wife. She had been attacked,
and they said, boy did he look surprised. Martha amazingly
(04:10):
survived this ordeal, and when she was able to speak
to police, she told them that it had been her
husband who had attacked her, and she shared every detail.
Investigators in Wataga sprung into action and initiated a search
of the home, a modest house in the six thousand
block of Believe It or Not Martha Drive. They also
(04:31):
obtained a search warrant of Jeffrey's vehicle. Based on the
information that Martha provided them about the attack that night
and the ongoing sexual torture and abuse, they expected to
find devices and weapons. Also, given the brutality of Martha's attack,
they expected to find signs of a struggle and blood,
but they didn't. There was no evidence in the home
(04:54):
besides handcuffs, photos of sexually explicit reading material, and a
few other uncited items that they collected for evidence. Some
of the books that were found were titled Bound, Whipped
and Caged Schoolgirls and another was called Bondage for Three Wives.
If I had guessed, the police calling him as next
(05:17):
of kin to let him know of Martha's attack and
survival probably motivated him to do a clean up and
disposal job, destroying evidence before police got to it. Nevertheless,
Jeffrey Maxwell was arrested and charged with aggravated assault when
Martha was well enough to be discharged from the hospital.
(05:38):
She took their young son and fled to Mexico to
be with her family. Martha grew up in Mexico and
met Jeffrey Maxwell in nineteen eighty one through a male
matchmaking service. They exchanged letters back and forth, and the
romance blossomed. Jeffrey had been previously married very young. When
he was just eighteen years old, he got his girlfriend
(06:01):
Rita pregnant, but that relationship didn't work out. The family
that most often is interviewed about Martha is her brother Xavier,
who lived in Denver with his wife Carol. According to
reporting in d magazine, when Jeffrey came to propose to Martha,
they did not approve. Martha's sister in law, Carol said, quote,
(06:22):
we just didn't like him. Everyone tried to be nice
to him, but he gave people such a creepy feeling.
Despite her family's feelings about Jeffrey, Martha felt like she
was getting older and at twenty nine, she wanted to
settle down and start a family. Carol said, quote, she
was insecure, and he prayed upon that. Carol and Xavier
(06:45):
had just been dating at that time, and when they
got married, Martha brought Jeffrey as her plus one to
their wedding. Carol told d magazine that at the reception,
Jeffrey approached her and said, now that we're family, I
guess that means I get to kiss you, and forcefully
kissed her, shoving his tongue in her mouth. She said
a few months later he did this with another bride
(07:06):
at a family wedding. According to an interview with Martha's
brother Javier in the newspaper The Brian College Station Eagle,
Martha had talked with her family about leaving Jeffrey before
and how he was abusive to her, but said she
was fearful that she would lose her young son in
the process. One thing I couldn't find for certain was
(07:27):
the citizenship status of Martha. That is certainly something that
can create a power dynamic, as Jeffrey Maxwell was an
American citizen born and raised here, and custody disputes can
get complicated in the midst of things like parents from
two different countries and immigration issues. While in Mexico recuperating,
(07:47):
Martha began to open up to her family about just
how terribly Jeffrey was to her. Previously, she had confided
in a few friends about some aspects of her abuse,
sharing bruises on her wrists and legs, but she had
otherwise kept this from her family. She now told them
how Jeffrey would tie her up and leave her in
a tiny room by herself for days, and despite coming
(08:09):
forward with all of this, she said, she felt like
police and the judges just didn't believe her, which I
think is so important to highlight that. How many stories
have you heard from survivors of intimate partner violence where
repeatedly they are not believed by people in charge of
protecting them. It's a huge systemic issue, and honestly, I
don't feel it's much better in twenty twenty five. We
(08:32):
still have a long way to go, So that's not
a simpler time thing. That's yeah, it was like that
back then and it still is. While all this was
going on, Jeffrey also began mailing Martha letters. In them,
he was incredibly apologetic. He talked about how much he
missed her, how much he missed their son, and he
(08:53):
begged her to come back and be with him. Martha's
sister in law, Carol, told d magazine that the letters
werelative in nature and appealed to Martha's Catholic religious beliefs.
Jeffrey repeatedly cited that God would want them to be together,
and he made veiled statements that blamed her for what
had happened. Martha stayed in Mexico for a few months,
(09:15):
but ultimately returned back to the United States and moved
back in with Jeffrey, despite her parents and family pleading
with her not to. When she returned, they left their
home and moved to Fort Worth. Upon doing that, she
stopped cooperating with law enforcement and the district attorney in
the case against Jeffrey Maxwell. Without Martha as a witness
(09:37):
and with the lack of physical evidence to have a
standalone case, a grand jury failed to indict him, and
the case was dismissed. When I say stopped cooperating, I
phrase it like that because it's objectively and factually what happened.
But it's important to remember that she felt like they
didn't believe her anyways, and she was stuck in a
cycle of abuse and manipulation at the hands of Jeffrey.
(10:01):
One other thing I hadn't mentioned is that Martha felt
really close to the son Jeffrey had from his first marriage.
At this point, of course, they had another son together themselves,
but she was drawn back in because she also loved
her stepson as one of her own, and she couldn't
bear to leave him as so often occurs. After she returned,
(10:21):
there was a bit of a honeymoon period. Martha actually
went and got her associate's degree. She brought Jeffrey Maxwell
to her family reunion, and her relatives, who loathed him,
managed to try to make some small talk, hoping that
he genuinely had turned it around, but the violence picked
back up again. Martha did her best to navigate everything
(10:42):
she was experiencing and was very private about it, protecting
her son in the process. She still kept in regular
contact with her family, having phone calls with them, and
they had one such phone call on Mother's Day, May tenth,
nineteen ninety two. Later in that month, her family hadn't
heard from her, and they began to worry, and that
(11:03):
worry only grew when they went to their mailbox one
day and found a letter from her. One afternoon, Martha's
parents opened their mailbox to find something peculiar, a letter
(11:24):
from Martha. Word in the family spread quickly because this
just wasn't like Martha. Another family member received the same letter,
presumably Javier and Carol. But Martha didn't mail letters. She
always just talked to them by phone, and the contents
of the letter were even more puzzling. The letter was
telling them that she planned to leave Jeffrey and her
(11:46):
son and that she would be out of touch for
a while. This didn't sit right with them. They felt
that either someone else had written this letter or that
Martha had been forced to write it. Adding to that
was the fact that it looked like more than one
type of handwriting had been used between the two letters.
In the rare occasion that Martha did write something to
her family, it was always in Spanish, but these letters
(12:09):
were in English. So Martha's brother, Javier called the Maxwell
residence to speak to his sister and figure out what
was going on. When he did, Jeffrey answered, he abruptly
stated that Martha had left and ended that call. Xavier
told the paper quote, it was odd because she would
have just called us, and where would she go. We
(12:32):
got worried and I talked to jeff He said she
left and he hung up on me. I knew then
that he did something to her end quote. Javier Martinez
and Martha's parents phoned the Fort Worth Police for assistance,
but they didn't exactly do anything to start, so Javier
caught the next flight out of Denver down to Texas
(12:53):
and filed a missing person's report, and only after he
came in person would they accept one. According to Xavier,
he did feel that the detective assigned worked hard on
her case, but there was no sign of Martha and
Jeffrey was not cooperating. At the Maxwell residence, Martha had
left behind everything she would need to start over. Her
(13:15):
social Security card was there, her credit cards and her car.
It just didn't make any sense. Still, there was no
physical evidence, and Jeffrey stuck with his story. Martha's family
felt hopeless. They knew Jeffrey had done something to her,
and he was able to just go on living his
life without facing any consequences and without giving them answers
(13:38):
of their own, and that he did now. Shortly after
Martha's disappearance, Jeffrey was in a significant motorcycle accident that
injured his leg permanently. He then walked with a limp
and sometimes had to use a cane in nineteen ninety five,
he filed for divorce from Martha, stating that she was
(13:59):
missing and had abandon him, and also cited things that
would fall under the irreconcilable differences category. Divorce was granted,
and he remarried his first wife, Rita. At this point,
Rita had three girls of her own from another relationship.
Police records would later show that two nights before their wedding,
(14:21):
Jeffrey allegedly raped Rita's best friend. Her friend rented a
duplex from Jeffrey, and she had a maintenance concern when
he came over to fix it. She says that he
forced himself on her and then threatened her if she
ever told anybody. Some publications share more details than I'm
choosing to I'm choosing not to on this podcast. But
(14:45):
not long after moving in together, Jeffrey's stepdaughters accused him
of sexual abuse. First, the middle daughter told school officials,
but it doesn't sound like much happened when she reported
other than documentation. CPS may have been called b but
really there was nothing further done. But then the younger
daughter detailed an instance of something that happened to her school,
(15:07):
and this time CPS for sure was called and CPS
ordered Rita away from Jeffrey or threaten to take the
children altogether. And so Rita did leave and they split,
but Jeffrey still faced no criminal consequences for his behavior.
Jeffrey went on to move around a bit, and wherever
(15:27):
he went people seemed to find him creepy, and he'd
occasionally get a slap on the wrist for said creepy behavior.
But he also was known in the community for good things,
and he held high up positions. For instance, he was
the VP of the Kowanis Club in town. Martha's family
watched as year after year passed and they wondered, would
(15:49):
anybody besides them see the true colors and true evil
of Jeffrey Maxwell. And it would take until twenty eleven,
but after that the whole world would know. The next
(16:11):
part of this episode discusses the survivor's story of Lois Pearson.
Because this story is her own to tell, I'm going
to share enough to tie together the episode, but allow
you to read her own words, as documented in D
Magazine and a couple of other sources which I've linked
in the show notes. Huge appreciation to D Magazine reporting
by Michael J. Mooney, which I relied on heavily for
(16:34):
this part. I also want to mention that it's not
typical to share the name of survivors of sexual assault.
I am doing so because after the trial, Lois wanted
her name shared openly in the media as a way
of sharing her courageous story. And so let's get into it.
Lois Pearson was born in nineteen forty nine and at
(16:55):
sixty two years old in twenty eleven, she was still
living in her family's childhood home. Lois was deeply religious
and lived a simple life. She cared for her property,
lived off her modest income of leasing out some of
her land, and leaned into caring for her house and
devoting herself to God. She never dated, never had any kids,
(17:18):
and she preferred to live a life of some seclusion.
The house Lois lived in was in wit, Texas, in
rural northwest Parker County, on sixty acres. Every Sunday she
attended church. She drove a forty year old vehicle, and
when she experienced car trouble, she'd walk to church, a
twenty mile round trip. Once a month, she'd go into
(17:41):
the town of Mineral Wells to pick up groceries and
do her laundry. She was fiercely independent and self reliant.
She had previously lived in the house with her parents,
and when they died, she just took it over and
kept a life of solitude. In two thousand and one,
Jeffrey Maxwell purchased the property to the west of her,
and he introduced himself. She said he was friendly, albeit
(18:04):
a bit intimidating. At six foot five and nearly three
hundred pounds, she was a few years older than Maxwell.
She said they exchanged pleasantries and waves as they passed
each other on the country roads. Once he helped her
secure a tractor to most some of her land, and
she repaid him with produce that she had grown. And
(18:25):
then one day, out of nowhere, he asked her out
for a dinner date. Lois was very modest in her
approach to dating. She just didn't do it and wasn't
planning on starting at this point in her life. She
told Jeffrey that his ask made her uncomfortable and she declined.
Then one day, Jeffrey showed up to her house out
of the blue. He jumped out of his car and
(18:47):
told her that he wanted a kiss. She was at
this point very uncomfortable. She told him this wasn't appropriate.
She asked him to leave and never come back, and
she said he wasn't welcome to her house ever again.
Nee Ever one to respect boundaries. Jeffrey returned once more,
or so she thought. He stopped by to show her
pictures of a house he was building several towns over.
(19:09):
The conversation was cordial, and Maxwell did indeed move in
two thousand and five. On March first, twenty eleven, Lois
Pearson was getting ready to go out and do her
monthly errands in town. She was actually standing beside her
car when, to her surprise, Jeffrey Maxwell pulled into her
driveway in a trailblazer. She was very surprised to see him.
(19:33):
They made small talk and he asked her about her church,
something that lowered her guard down for a moment. Then
out of nowhere, She described how the mood just shifted
and they stopped talking to one another. She had this
sense come over her that something was very wrong, and
his face just changed. He pulled out a can of
(19:53):
mace and sprayed her in the eyes. She tried to run,
but he caught up to her. He dragged her into
the house and beat her over the head with a
rolling pin and bound her At one point. He walked
out to the car, and Lois was able to quickly
free herself of the bindings and took off, running out
of the back door. When he came back inside and
(20:15):
noticed that Lois was gone, he drove his vehicle and
caught up to her, this time pointing a pistol at her.
He forced her into his vehicle. He asked if she
was a virgin, and when she began to cry, he
mimicked her cries. Mocking her. He told her he was
going to bring her to his house and lock her up,
and then he was going to come back and burn
(20:35):
her house down. She pleaded with him not to burn
her house down. It was the only place she'd ever
lived and had been in her family for decades. Lois
told d magazine that she thought of so many different
ways to try to escape the car, but couldn't pull
any of them off, or she just knew they wouldn't
work out like her first escape attempt, so she turned
(20:57):
to prayer, and as she was praying, he said, when
I'm through with you, you won't believe in God. In
the days that followed, Jeffrey Maxwell tortured Lois. He would
(21:18):
handcuff her to a device he made. According to this
excerpt from d magazine, he cuffed each of her hands
to the ends of a thick steel bar attached to
the ceiling with chains. Confused, she watched him flip a
switch on a yellow control box attached by a cable
to the same spot in the ceiling as the chains.
(21:40):
She felt her arms lifted first, then she felt her
shoulders pulled forcefully upward. The motor in the ceiling hummed
as she moved higher and higher. When he flipped the
switch again, it stopped, and she could feel her naked
legs dangling in the air. And that's the end of
the direct excerpt right there. Essentially, he had created the
(22:01):
same type of device you might use to put a
deer on after you went hunting. It's just horrible. And again,
she details a lot more of the trauma she experienced
in this article and in interviews. She's done, and I'd
prefer you hear her words and let her tell her story.
But it should be of note that she continued to
turn to prayer throughout her ordeal, and he just would
(22:23):
continue to mock her for it. Each time, he'd even
say things like, yeah, you better pray, and I highlight
this just because it comes up again later. But just
know it's way worse and just pure sexual torture. For
days at night when he wasn't abusing her, he kept
her chain to a bed, and he even once put
her in a coffin like wooden box. On March third,
(22:48):
he had returned to her home and done what he
had promised. He had set it on fire. When firefighters
put out the blaze, they realized that the only bones
were that of a cat. With Lois missing and arson
being determined in the fire, police went on an all
out search for her. They drained in nearby pond, They
interviewed neighbors, They looked for financial transactions. They took search
(23:12):
dogs all over, sniffing for any cent, trail searched by
helicopter and four wheelers. I mean, this is a huge
rural area. It's a tough task, but they began to
have some success when days after Lois went missing, a
check from her bank account was cashed and it was
made out to none other than Jeffrey Maxwell. Jeffrey's name
(23:32):
had also come up with neighbors as someone that Lois
had a disagreement with years earlier and who Lois had
been frankly creeped out by. One neighbor also remembered seeing
a vehicle in the driveway for ten minutes on March third.
They remembered it being there and then it was gone,
and that then the blaze started. They remembered it had
a handicap tag on the rear view mirror. And guess
(23:56):
whose vehicle matched that, Jeffrey Maxwell. And remember that motorcycle
accident where he hurt his leg. Yeah, that's where the
handicap tag came from. So just before six pm on
March twelfth, twenty eleven, twelve days after Lois was first abducted,
Sergeant Rick Montgomery and four other investigators paid Jeffrey Maxwell
(24:19):
a visit to his home. He smiled as he opened
the door and stepped out onto the porch to talk
to them, letting them know that his house was such
a mess so they could just talk out there. They
started out casually saying that they were just talking to
anybody who knew Lois Pearson, and they asked if he
had to, which he said, well, yeah, she's my old neighbor.
(24:40):
Maxwell went on to say that he hadn't been out
to that area in a while, which they said, oh, really,
when was the last time you had contact with her?
And he said, well, she did just send me this
check because she owed me some money, and for what
they wondered, and he sort of skirted around it, saying
he couldn't remember the exact amount, but he had loaned
her some money a couple years back because he felt
(25:01):
sorry for her. And just then, in the middle of
the conversation, the front door swung open and a woman
came out, screaming saying, I'm here, it's me. She was
so badly beaten that they didn't even recognize her until
one detective said, oh my god, that's her, and she said,
I'm Lois Pearson. Texas ranger Anthony Bradford would go on
(25:25):
to tell d magazine that they all had to pick
their jaws off the ground and that none of them
had ever experienced anything like that in their careers. Before long,
Jeffrey Maxwell was charged with kidnapping an assault. Investigators were
shocked when they walked through the home and saw the
depravity of the setup, the blood, the torture devices, the
(25:47):
chains everything. It was dubbed a house of horrors, and
in some news outlets they compared it to the movie
The Silence of the Lambs. Despite pleading not guilty, Jeffrey
Maxwell fested up to most of what he had done.
In more, he said he had gotten himself into a
situation he didn't know how to get out of. He
talked about how he had tried bondage with his wife,
(26:10):
Martha Maxwell, and even used a stun gun on her,
but that lois was definitely an escalation, and he volunteered
that he had never abducted any strangers. Investigators found hundreds
of pairs of panties in his house, Some he said
were souvenirs from ex girlfriends, while others he said he
had stolen from their daughters or friends of his. He
(26:33):
even bragged about how he'd get up to use the
bathroom when he was visiting a friend, and then he
would reach his hand into a dirty laundry bind to
steal some underwear. He bragged that he did this about
thirty to forty times without being caught. His house was
also filled with bondage and rape films. Despite his confessions,
he was steadfast and having no idea what had happened
(26:56):
to his wife, Martha Martinez Maxwell. The closest they could
get was asking him if he had harmed his wife
on that night back in nineteen ninety two, and his
response being not intentionally. Maxwell was found guilty and received
three life sentences with a minimum of sixty years behind bars.
(27:17):
The reason is because two of the sentences were allowed
to be served concurrently. Still, that would make his earliest
release date be when he is one hundred and twenty
years old, and he's still in prison now. After the trial,
Lois said in her victim impact statement quote, I want
you to know there is a God and he answered
(27:38):
my prayers to spare my life. It's a miracle that
I am alive. End quote. After Maxwell's arrest, the Martinez
family held out hope that they would finally get some answers,
and so they were disappointed when he continued to refuse
to talk, despite facing the rest of his life in prison. Anyways.
Carol Martinez said that after she heard about what happened
(28:01):
with Lois, it chilled her to the bone, but she
also wasn't surprised. Javier said that he was sad that
someone had to suffer to shed light on Jeffrey Maxwell's evil.
Beyond suspicious of Jeffrey for Martha's disappearance, police began to
wonder was Lois the only other one. Police specifically wanted
(28:31):
to look at Jeffrey for a nearby case that was
almost identical to Lois's. In February of two thousand, fifty
one year old Amelia Martinez Smith was working at a
taxi company in Irving, Texas, and after finishing her shift
at about ten PM on February third, she headed back
to her trailer home in Weatherford, Texas. At the time,
(28:53):
her husband was visiting his mother and their children weren't
home either, so she was home alone that night. A
few hours later, in the early morning hours of February fourth,
neighbors spotted smoke and flames coming from her trailer. By
the time firefighters arrived around four am, the home was
completely engulfed. Investigators later found someone had also tried to
(29:16):
set fire to Smith's car, which was parked nearby, but
there was no sign of Smith inside the house or anywhere.
She's never been seen or heard from again. Authorities determined
that the blaze was intentionally set, but an extensive search
turned up no trace of her, and as I said,
she's still missing. Foul play is suspected, and all have
(29:38):
a map up of the different locations, but they're all
in pretty close proximity outside of Fort Worth. There is
no established connection between Maxwell and Amelia Martinez Smith, and
it actually makes me think back to his voluntary I've
never just grabbed a stranger thing he offered up without
anyone asking. But he also just have had a connection
(30:00):
to her that we don't know about. She was said
to be deeply religious and devoted to her family and
would not have just run off. And with all of that,
this is where we leave off with Martha's case. Like Amelia's,
(30:24):
it's without answers, and the person who likely has them
is sitting in jail. I hope he has a change
of heart and gives Martha's family answers. And there are
so many victims that are collateral damage here. Martha and
Jeffrey's son once stood by his father, but after the
twenty eleven attack on Lois, he attended one day of
(30:45):
the trial and never returned. He reached out to his
uncle Xavier and said, I need to know what really
happened to my mother Lois survived her attack, but is
forever scarred by her ordeal. She told d Mag that
the fire burned her very few cherished earthly possessions, her
(31:05):
old manual typewriter, her piano, in all of her mother's
sheet music, shelves of photo albums, and she no longer
owns a picture of her father, and she's not sure
that one exists. Normally, this is the spot where I
give tip line contact information and plead for information. And
(31:26):
I think most of the answers to our questions come
from the man sitting in prison. But Rita or maybe
one of his other ex girlfriends, maybe you know something,
Maybe he said something offhanded to you in an argument,
and it's a clue to where authorities might find a
body you never know. And it's not too late. Jeffrey
is behind bars and can no longer hurt you. So
(31:49):
now is the time to come forward with information, since
up to this point the coward in the jail cell
has not. If you have information, please contact the Fort
Worth Police Department at eight one seven three nine two
four four three zero. This has been another episode of
