DNA evidence found at the scene of two murders were linked to the same killer.
In 1999, the Wichita County District Attorney's Office reopened the murder cases of the victims that occurred in their jurisdiction. He was required to wear an ankle monitor allowing authorities to constantly track his location he was restricted to movements for work, home and church. After serving less than one-third of his sentence, Wardrip was released on parole in December 1997. He was convicted and sentenced to 35 years in prison. Within 72 hours of the murder of Tina Kimbrew, Wardrip called authorities and confessed to her murder. This separation led to multiple news agencies reporting that the isolated investigations delayed Wardrip's capture. These investigations were for three of the murders that occurred within a 5-mile radius of each other. With the killings occurring across multiple jurisdictions, officials from three law enforcement agencies - the Wichita Falls Police Department, the Wichita County Sheriff's Department and the Archer County Sheriff's Department - initially led isolated murder investigations. All of his female victims were white, were between the ages of 20 and 25, weighed less than 120 lb, and were under 5 and 1/2 feet tall. Wardrip's killing spree began at the end of 1984 and lasted until the middle of 1986. One woman was murdered in Fort Worth, approximately a two-hour drive southeast of Wichita Falls. Four of the women were killed in Wichita Falls, Texas and the surrounding counties.
