Born in Conroe Texas in 1910, Clint Peoples was appointed to the Texas Rangers in 1946. He is recognized for his work in the Texas Rangers Hall of Fame.

Peoples worked on cases like Billy Sol Estes frauds and the Henry Marshall murder. He was a persistent investigator. When he go on to something, he could not let it go. Such was the case of the Henry Marshall murder. From that point on he was a thorn in the side of Lyndon Johnson.

He is the one who located Mac Wallace's fingerprint on the sixth floor of the Texas School Book Depository. When Peoples was interviewed by Wallace Chariton for his book Unsolved Texas Mysteries he revealed this information. Shortly after the book was published in 1992, he scheduled a press conference to make the finding generally known. However before this could take place, Clint Peoples died in a single car accident.

At the time he had an assistant named “Georgia” who told her story to French author, William Reymond. She was at the funeral home for Peoples viewing when she was approached by a woman with a story to tell. Because of what she had seen she refused to be identified. She was a witness to the accident that took the retired Texas Ranger's life. She saw a red pick up truck drive up behind him and push him off the road.

Even though it was twenty years after Lyndon Johnson passed from the land of the living, those benefiting from his legacy of corruption could not accept exposure. “Georgia” was too spooked by this incident to even take a look at the wrecked vehicle to see if the rear bumper supported the story. Too many people were dead already and she wasn't taking any chances.

Does a ghost actually haunt the state capitol in Austin? Did the U.S. Army secretly bury hundreds of guns in North Texas after WWII? Was John Wilkes Booth killed or did he escape and flee to Central Texas? The authors present the known facts and circumstances of these and other mysteries.
