On January 7, 2005, the Special Crimes Unit was dispatched to the area of 34th and Eastern on a found body call, the apparent victim of a homicide. Donald Ray White had been murdered, his body left in a bar ditch just outside the city limits of Amarillo in Randall County.
Officers of Amarillo arrested a subject on drug and weapon charges on January 14, 2005. This suspect told officers he wanted to give them information on a homicide. Sergeant Kevin Dockery questioned this suspect and was able to identify the two individuals responsible for the murder.
Later in the day, Sergeant Dockery, along with Randall County Investigator Paul Horn, questioned a female in the Potter County Jail. This female had been uncooperative initially, but because she knew Sergeant Dockery from his school liaison days, she gave him a statement identifying the two suspects responsible for committing the murder.
