Cold Case New Mexico: Thomas and Judy McKnight

After nearly 25 years, New Mexico authorities are still trying to solve the murders of Thomas "Cotton" McKnight and his wife Judy McKnight.

The McKnights were found shot to death in their ranch house in Lincoln County, New Mexico on November 15, 1984. According to the file on New Mexico's Department of Public Safety website, the McKnights likely knew their killer, as there was no sign of forced entry. The fact that they were murdered in their kitchen would support that theory, in my opinion. I don't know about the McKnights, but I don't invite too many people into my kitchen unless I know them. So the fact that they were killed in their kitchen is very interesting to me, as I am sure it is to the authorities.

In any event, the authorities still have no suspects in this case and are asking for the help of the public. Someone, somewhere knows something.

If you have any information on this case, please contact Capt. Scott D. Weaver at (505) 827-9089 or Lt. David C. Martinez at (505) 827-3431
