MURDERED: Brittany McGlone

5/4/202654 min

On May 4, 2007, 19-year-old Brittany McGlone did something she rarely did. Instead of going home after work, she went to her boyfriend’s house. By that afternoon, she was found dead in his bed, brutally beaten. She was naked, and her underwear was missing from the scene. In the home’s only bathroom, investigators found signs the killer may have showered before leaving. There were no signs of forced entry or robbery, only a small circle of people who knew she would be there. More than 15 years later, one man was arrested, but he was later released and walked free. Someone still knows what happened in that house.

Brittany McGlone’s family received a Season of Justice grant. In 2025, they put up a billboard near Winnsboro, in Sulphur Springs, Texas, asking for tips. It is scheduled to come down soon, which is why this episode is being released now, so the family’s plea for help can be heard not just in Wood County, but around the world.

You know who's trouble, you know who's got a temper, who to tell your teen daughter to stay away from. So when a 19-year-old's found dead in her boyfriend's bed, it doesn't feel random. You can practically hear the gossip at the gas pump, in the church parking lot, echoing through the checkout line. There are men with motive, men
