W.A.C. by Ford Motor Credit. 1 1993 F130XLT Investigators have eliminated six Hood County men as suspects in the May 1994 rapetorture of a woman on the Brazos River in Somervell County. "All of them have been cleared in this deal," said Somervell County chief deputy Darnell McCreavy. Mc-Creavy said the men were eliminated as suspects by the victim through photo line-ups and deputies' follow-up investigation.

The men's names had come from tips received after NBC's Unsolved Mysteries had run reenactments of the case Oct 27 and Dec. 29. Other calls were a result of composite sketches of -the suspects run in the Hood County News and posters distributed around the county by a private detective investigating the case. Two of the Hood County men called in as suspects had received undue attention from other residents when it became known they might be suspects, McCreavy said. "Both of them are experiencing aggravation," he stated.

There are presently no strong suspects in the May 31, 1994 incident McCreavy said. "We still have some other leads, but we have nothing hot right now," he reported. The victim, now 29, told officers she and her young son were canoeing on the Brazos on Memorial Day when the rape occurred. They stopped to get out of their canoe on the river somewhere between Keller's Ranch and the Tres Rios campgrounds in Somervell County, said investigators. There, they were accosted by two men, who beat her with canoe paddles.

Officers still looking for suspects who match these sketches months and Tolar. Both had gotten into the fight after reportedly arguing about an old girlfriend of the private investigator, deputies said. The two were also charged after the incident with carrying identification falsely identifying them as police officers, stated deputies. As a result of the fight the investigator is no longer connected to the case, the victim has told officers, McCreavy stated. If suspects are located in the Brazos River rape, they could be charged with rape, aggravated assault kidnapping, child molestation and robbery.

Persons with information on the Brazos River rape may call McCreavy at the Somervell County Sheriff Department at (817)897-2242. the victim said. Both men raped her and burned her with cigarettes until she was forced to scream, reported the victim. The victim said her son was also fondled by one of the suspects. A private investigator from McKinney became involved in the rape investigation.

He and the victim traveled to Hood County several times last year working on the case, officers said. The private investigator was identified as the rape victim's boyfriend, with the two having a child from that relationship, officers reported. The investigation took an unusual twist Jan. 17 when the investigator and the rape victim were arrested after a fight at a friend's residence off U.S. Highway 377 West between Granbury XLT.
