The first episode in our intermittent National Series covers the unsolved murder of Leon Laureles, who was living and working in Brown County, TX, at the time of his 1996 murder. Though it has never been officially labeled as such, many view his unsolved homicide as a hate crime. If you have any information in his case, call Heart of Texas Crime Stoppers at 800-222-847.
