The
Houston Chronicle reports:
The father of one of two women whose bodies were found last week on the Bolivar Peninsula was arrested Thursday in connection with the deaths. James Larry Cosby, 46, of Houston, is charged with two counts of tampering with evidence in the deaths of his daughter, Britney Cosby, and Crystal Jackson, according to the Galveston County Sheriff's Office. Both women were 24. Deputies said Cosby is in the Galveston County jail in lieu of $500,000 bail. Charges against him, deputies added, may be upgraded to capital murder as the investigation continues. Cosby was arrested early Thursday morning after investigators interviewed him about the case following a vigil in Houston for the slain women, said Galveston County Sheriff Henry Trochesset.
Police have revealed that Jackson was murdered by gunshot and that Cosby's daughter died from blows to the head. The father attended the vigil for the couple.
