Wearing a paper sack over his head, witness Billy Ridinger, 20, enters the Harris County grand jury room in Houston, Texas, Aug. 14, 1973. Ridinger reportedly escaped from the sexual-torture ring that is responsible for the mass murder that had so far produced 27 teenaged corpses. At left is investigator Gregg Walls.
