The City of McKinney History of Fun Facts.
 
The area we now call Collin County was originally settled by pioneers offered free land by colonizers like William S. Peters and associates. Colonizers were hired by the state of Texas to introduce settlers into this area, which at first was called Peter’s Colony. The offer usually included up to 640 acres of land, a gun, and help building a cabin. The Peter’s Colony settlers came in 1841.

Settlers arrived in wagons pulled by oxen or horses and braved the threats of weather, wild animals, and native Indians for the promise of free land and a better life. They found that life here in the fertile land was rich but hard. Some left, abandoning their claims, but many stayed on, and still more came, establishing farms, communities, and commerce.
 
THE PROGRAM THIS WEEK 
 
This week our breakfast will start being served at 7:15 AM so our program has enough time for the entire presentation.
 
Our program this week will feature Steve Defibaugh
A Princeton resident Steve Defibaugh was a 31-year-old crime scene investigator with the Collin County Sheriff’s Department when he was paged that night in 1980. When he called to check in, he was told it was a homicide, so he quickly checked his camera and film supply and headed out the door.

Defibaugh said, as an investigator, his typical approach was to shoot his way in and shoot his way out of a crime scene with his camera. Check this crime scene

 

The loving Christian mom who became an ax murderer: Inside twisted tale of Candy Montgomery who butchered a friend on Friday the 13th after having an affair with her husband - 

  • Candy Montgomery killed her friend Betty Gore with an ax on Friday, June 13, 1980, in their hometown of Wylie, Texas  
  • The housewife struck up a  friendship with Betty at church before embarking on a months-long affair with her husband Allan Gore 
  • Shortly after Candy and Allan called off the affair, Betty was found butchered in the utility room in her home while her infant daughter was in her crib
  • Candy was charged with murder and released on bail with her church's support 
  • During her trial, she claimed Betty had confronted her about the affair and had attacked her with the ax, forcing her to retaliate in self-defense 
  • Candy delivered 41 blows to Betty's body, 40 of which were done while her heart was still beating, but she insisted she didn't mean to kill her
  • A psychiatrist and clinical hypnotist determined that Candy suffered from childhood trauma that had triggered her rage as an adult  
  • Despite all of the evidence against her, she was found not guilty of murder
  • Elizabeth Olsen and Elisabeth Moss are slated to play Candy in two different true-crime series, HBO Max's 'Love and Death' and Hulu's 'Candy,' respectively
