Hugh Aynesworth

Some allegations even claim that the Rangers would let him read the case files, meaning he would have access to all of the little details, and then it would be virtually impossible to tell if he was lying or not.

This all fell apart, though, when a journalist called Hugh Aynesworth with the Dallas Times Herald took a closer look and very, very quickly realized there was no way Lucas could have committed all the murders he was claiming to.

I mean, sometimes he wasn't even in the state at the time they were committed, something that was very easily proven.

All of this came out in 1985, but regardless, Lucas would be convicted of 11 homicides in total.
