FERRIS – Chief Brian Horton joins the city of Ferris with more than 30-years of combined experience working in the fire service, in particular by serving as a fire fighter, fire captain, and assistant fire chief for the cities of Athens and Canton.
Collectively, Bob Allwardt, Walter Weiss, Skip Ensley and Sam Love have more than 150 years of law enforcement experience under their badges. Allwardt said he found all the notes and information for the cold cases stuffed in a drawer. Working with the Ellis County Sheriff’s office 17 years and Dallas County Sheriff’s office 26 years – when he arrived in Ferris, he began the daunting task of untangling years of forgotten pieces of the two cold cases.

FERRIS – Sometimes cold cases remain cold for months, for years – sometimes forever. In the small city of Ferris with only about 2,800 residents, two cold cases rocked the community about 10-years-ago.  These days, four men have vowed they will not let these cases stay cold.
