Nearly a decade later, Paul Taylor pleaded guilty to her murder—even though Becky’s body was never found and no weapon was produced. For decades, Becky’s family lived with the unknown. But newly uncovered information proves the truth was buried: • February 1995: Just days before Paul’s plea, dogs alerted under the house where Becky was killed. Fabric and other possible evidence were uncovered, but investigators stopped the dig. • That same morning, Becky’s mother found a shovel with a burnt handle and a woman’s high-heeled shoe—turned over to the DA’s office. • A sealed judge’s document, revealed only in 2023, states that Becky’s remains were recovered and sent for identification. • To make matters worse, the official case file was later reported as “lost or destroyed.” These facts raise disturbing questions: Was Becky’s body recovered and hidden from her family? Was she still under the house, buried off Highway 2004, or moved somewhere else entirely? And most importantly: where are her body and the weapon today? Even now, in December 2024, the investigator reassigned to Becky’s case has his name all over the original investigation. This is not impartial, and it is not justice. We, the undersigned, call on the Brazoria County District Attorney’s Office, the Texas Rangers, and the Texas Attorney General to: 1. Reopen Becky Beard’s case with a full, independent review by an investigator unconnected to the original case. 2. Release all sealed and missing records tied to her disappearance and the 1995 plea deal. 3. Locate and account for Becky’s remains and the weapon that has never been properly investigated. 4. Pursue justice for Becky with transparency and integrity. Justice doesn’t expire. Becky’s truth must be brought to light. Sign to demand justice for Becky Beard.
