A few days before Christmas in 1984, 26-year-old David Dale Larson and 21-year-old Regina Suzanne Grover went out for a dinner date at The Keg Restaurant and Bar off Camp Bowie in Fort Worth, Texas. Service industry workers themselves, they knew folks at The Keg, and those folks saw Regina and David leave around 11 PM. It was the last time they were seen alive. The following afternoon, David Larson’s roommate discovered his nude and badly bludgeoned body in their apartment just southwest of downtown Fort Worth. Minutes later, a discovery was made in northwest Fort Worth. On the bank of a river under a bridge, covered with illegally dumped furniture, was the body of Regina Grover. She’d been strangled to death. Police lumped Regina’s murder in with several others that would eventually become known to locals as “The 80s Murders,” and David’s murder, which separated the case from the others in a major way, was often left out. Detectives never got a break on Regina and David’s case, but decades later, when a 1974 murder was solved, similarities never before noticed became hard to ignore.

If you have any information about the murders of David Dale Larson and Regina Suzanne Grover, please contact the Fort Worth Police Cold Case Unit at (817)392-4307, or you can provide information by emailing coldcase@fortworthpd.com.
