Description
Faryion Edward Wardrip is an American serial killer who raped and murdered five women in Wichita Falls, Texas and the surrounding counties from 1984 to 1986.
On the 6th of May 1986 Wardrip killed Tina Kimbrew, 21, a recent friend of his. A few days later, on May 9th, he called the police and confessed to the crime. He was sentenced to 35 years in prison. Paroled in 1997, he moved to Olney where he remarried and became an active supporter of the local church, gaining a good reputation.
In 1999 a Wichita Falls detective named John Little began a cold case investigation that led him to discover a previously unknown link between Wardrip and Ellen Blau, a 21 year old woman who had been found murdered in 1985. Little, who was unknown to Wardrip, asked Wardrip for a cup to spit tobacco into, after which Wardrip gave Little a paper cup that Wardrip had previously used. An analysis of DNA found on the cup matched DNA associated with two rape and murder victims, Terry Lee Sims, 20, and Toni Gibbs, 24. Wardrip was placed under arrest, and in custody confessed to the Sims and Gibbs murders and as well as those of Blau and Debra Taylor, 26.
