I had a friend in high school whose family moved from River Oaks to protect their children. Her mother was a witness in one of the trials and had been friends with Joan Hill. I think they lived across or down the street from the Hills. Evidently, they were getting death threats against their children.
I think you must be talking about my family. Did you go to Memorial High School? My mom was very close to Joan and did testify at the trial. A very difficult period for everyone for many reasons.
I know it's been awhile on this thread - I just ran across it as our old house across the street at Kirby and Brentwood is for sale right now and it brought back all these memories.
She was an amazing woman, Joan. Very gracious and inclusive.
