Cops Catch South Texas Decapitator, Who Took Victim's Head to Hide Evidence
The case of the headless body discovered underneath a bridge near the Brazoria River has been solved. But the killer’s motive for decapitating 24-year-old Jubal Alexander, an East Texas native who’d been living out of his truck, remains unclear.
On May 3 a fisherman discovered Alexander’s headless body sitting in his pickup, and his father claimed the murder to be the work of the Islamic State. “He was murdered in a terroristic way, in a way that is indicative to ISIS,” he wrote in May 13 Facebook post. “They cut his head off and took it. I believe it was Islamic Extremists.”
Others speculated that the Los Zetas, a Mexican cartel whose members are also known to decapitate their victims, had committed the crime. But not surprisingly, neither speculation appears to be correct.
Police say that Zachary Foyt, a 24-year-old who lived 17 miles away from where the killing occurred, committed the crime, according to the Brazoria County Sheriff’s Office. “(On) 05-24-2016, a witness came forward and notified the Brazoria County Sheriff’s Office that Foyt had killed Alexander," they said in a release. "Motive for the killing is still being determined. Information from this witness was verified by comparing tip information to information that has not been made public.”
