[Genealib] My Daddy's 'shady' death

[Laura Lee]

Can anyone help me out there? My Dad was killed in or right around Rankin Texas in 1979. The death certificate reads "beat to death by a blunt instrument". My immediate family at the time told me he was pulled over by the police, made it to his home in Rankin, Texas, and fell down in the hallway and died. I can not find any records to dispute or to verify these accounts. One person who told me this is now dead. The other refuses to discuss this with me, stating he is afraid and doesn't want the 'cops' looking over his shoulder for the rest of his life. Both stories were the same, and came at different times. Please help me to find closure as to how I lost my Daddy when I was only 11 years old!
Thank you so much!
Here's what I know: Billy George Lee--Born December 11 or 12, 1940 in Brownwood Texas--died February 1979 in Rankin Texas--Death certificate statement above. Survived by wife Rosalia, 3 daughters, Laura Lyn, Lisa Ann, Linda Elaine, and one son, Billy George Lee. My Mother and Daddy had been split up for a year. As far as I know he was married to Rosalia, and I definitely have a spanish-only speaking brother with my Dad's name. My mother's maiden name was Robbie Anne Johnson if that's of any help. We lived in Midland at the time.
Thanks again for ANY input!!
God Bless
