Overview
- Montgomery County deputies arrested Bobby Charles Taylor Sr. on a capital murder charge in the 1986 rape and killing of 16-year-old Deanna Ogg.
- The sheriff’s office says advanced testing on decades-old DNA evidence identified Taylor as a suspect after years without a lead.
- Officials from the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office, the Texas Rangers, and the FBI plan a public briefing to explain how the arrest came together.
- Ogg, a New Caney High School student, was last seen at a convenience store on FM 1314 and was found hours later off Old Houston Road beaten, stabbed, and sexually assaulted.
- Another man, Roy Criner, was convicted in 1990 and later exonerated by DNA in 2000, a reversal that pushed investigators to rely on newer forensic methods in the cold-case review.
