Suspect sought, elderly North Texas woman’s mysterious death under investigation
BEDFORD – Police are searching for a man in connection with the mysterious death of an elderly woman at her home on Thursday.
Neighbors in the quiet community say they’re on alert after learning the yet-to-be-identified suspect forced his way into the woman’s home.
“It’s shocking to say the least,” neighbor Tyler Enloe said. “… It happened
right across the street. We’re okay. We’re definitely a little uneasy. My wife is pretty far along in pregnancy, so that’s definitely of concern, too.”
Police say the woman who lived on Meadowview Lane died Thursday, but that her body wasn’t discovered until Friday afternoon.
Bedford police located surveillance video from nearby homes. That video shows a suspect possibly wearing a wig approaching the victim’s front door. According to police, the woman answered and spoke to the unknown suspect who asked to use her phone. When she refused, police say he forced his way inside. Surveillance video, which hasn’t been publicly released, doesn’t show what happened inside the home, but police say the suspect left a few minutes later.
Meanwhile, Bedford police say the suspect is still on the run. They are reminding residents to be on alert, saying never answer the door for someone you don’t know and to call 911 immediately if you see anyone suspicious.

Notre Dame-Texas A&M betting line shrinks ahead of college football showdown
When the betting lines opened for Notre Dame’s trip to Texas A&M for the season opener, the Aggies were favored by 1.5 points by most outlets.
Last week our very own Mason Plummer took a look at how the betting line had swelled to 3 points and examined why money was seemingly coming in like crazy on Texas A&M.
Having just took a look at FanDuel upon posting this Sunday night, that number has shrunk a hair as Texas A&M is now listed as a 2.5-point favorite in Saturday night’s showdown.
Notre Dame vs. Texas A&M – The Latest Betting Odds
The following odds are courtesy of Fan Duel as of 10:00 p.m. ET on Sunday, August 25.
The Line: Texas A&M -2.5
Total: 46.5 points
Moneylines: Texas A&M -146, Notre Dame +122
The drop from 3 to 2.5 would indicate that more money began coming in on Notre Dame after the line climbed to three in Texas A&M’s favor. It’s important to remember the sportsbook isn’t looking at exactly what they think is going to happen, but instead what number draws equal money on both sides to guarantee victory for them.
Notre Dame and Texas A&M square off on Saturday night, Aug. 31 at 7:30 p.m. ET in a game that can be seen on ABC.
