TEXAS CITY — Prosecutors are investigating claims that a man charged with capital murder in a 1996 cold case slaying is innocent after a consultant professed another man confessed to the crime. The man the consultant said confessed, however, was jailed in a Texas prison when Krystal Jean Baker, 13, went missing in Texas City. In e-mails sent to Chambers County authorities and The Daily News, James L. McIntyre, who said he is a consultant, claims Kevin Edison Smith, 45, is innocent in the slaying of Baker. The Texas City teen went missing March 5, 1996. The girl’s body was found four hours after her disappearance beneath the Trinity River bridge in Chambers County.

He remained jailed on a $1 million bond. Read More. |
