The Murder of Auvord Jones Part 1: The Paris Hermit

The Murder of Auvord Jones Part 1: The Paris Hermit

On January 24th, 1963, A. Jones, as the townsfolk of Paris, Texas knew him, picked up a couple things at the grocery store. Then, he stopped by the drugstore on his way home. Auvord, his actual name, lived on the northeast outskirts of town. Though he could be seen around town plenty, and was a friendly, intelligent, and gracious man to speak with, he was as much a stranger as he was a local. That night, something happened to 79-year-old Auvord Jones at the primitive shack he slept in. At some point, he was bludgeoned in the head and left for dead in the unusually cold winter snap that’d come through. While there is no actual proof that the man had a secret stash of money in a shack on the property he owned, there was plenty of talk of a hidden fortune there. Other facts contradict that notion, but police still believe that Auvord was murdered for that reason. His violent demise angered the community, stumped police, and began a mystery that remains unresolved to this day. Part 1 of 2.
