Led into Montgomery County District Court yesterday, Rafael Robb – dressed in a blue button-down shirt and jeans – shuffled along slowly, his hands and feet shackled to a brown leather belt around his waist.

As he entered his arraignment to face charges in the December beating death of his wife, Ellen, Robb, 56, a University of Pennsylvania economics professor, remained stoic as reporters swarmed around him, bombarding him with questions he ignored.

Inside, District Justice William Maruszczak read the charges, which included first- and third-degree murder, possessing an instrument of crime, tampering with or fabricating physical evidence, and making false reports to the police. Robb sat in silence.

“I’ve been so heartsick the entire time,” said Susan Gay, whose daughter is a former schoolmate of Olivia Robb, the Robbs’ 12-year-old daughter who is now being cared for by other family members. (more…)

A check in the mail led Daniel Davenport to a terrible discovery.

The Wichitan had lost his daughter, Ashley,when he and her mother broke up in 1988. Ashley stayed in the Golden State with her mother. Davenport left California in 1990 and returned to Wichita Falls.

Davenport lost Ashley again – this time to a fatal car accident in July 1995.

But he wouldn’t know about the wreck until 11 years later after, receiving a refund check for child support, arrears and medical insurance from the Texas Attorney General’s office.

Davenport pulled the check from his mailbox one day in April – of this year.

When Davenport and his fiancee Kelly Reece contacted the office to question the refund, they were told “the child is deceased and no more payments are required.”

A check for $2,160 was all that remained of Ashley’s life. (more…)
