$10K Reward Still Offered In Case Of Heather Leann Pope Found In Shallow Grave

HUNT COUNTY (CBSDFW.COM) - The family of a Hunt County woman found murdered, buried in a shallow grave still seeks closure despite increasing a reward substantially for information last year.

Heather Leann Pope's father found her body on August 3, 2010 behind a vacant house in south Hunt County. The autopsy ruled her death as homicide due to blunt force trauma.

Heather's father, along with some family friends learned that several people were seen loitering behind a business on FM 751 and FM 429 on the day Pope's body was found.

Hunt County Crime Stoppers offered an initial reward of up to $1,500.00 on April 4, 2019 for information leading to the arrest of the person(s) responsible. However, Heather's parents met with Hunt County Crime Stoppers and donated $8,500.00 to the reward fund. This raised the amount to $10,000.00 for information leading to the arrest of the person(s) responsible.

"I feel confident that someone out there knows what happened to Heather and who was responsible. The tipster will remain anonymous and all we are asking is for the killer to be brought to justice," said Hunt County Sheriff Randy Meeks.

If you have information regarding the murder of Heather Leann Pope call Hunt County Crime Stoppers at 903-457-2929.
