HOUSTON — The father of one of two women who were killed and their bodies dumped next to a trash bin on the Bolivar Peninsula near Galveston has been charged with evidence tampering in both deaths, officials said Thursday.
James Larry Cosby, 46, from nearby Houston, remains jailed on $500,000 bond, said Galveston County Sheriff Henry Trochesset.
Trochesset said the investigation is ongoing and charges against Cosby could be upgraded to capital murder.
“It appears that the young ladies may have been murdered in his home,” he said.
