Larry Dean Brown has reportedly been released on bond following his arrest on a murder charge in the 1981 strangulation death of Beverly Bruneau in Grapevine. The pending murder charge is an allegation and does not establish guilt.
The reported evidence and custody timeline
Investigators reportedly obtained Brown’s DNA from discarded bottles and matched it to blood evidence preserved from Bruneau’s clothing.
Published reporting indicates Brown was booked into the Tarrant County Jail on July 14 and initially held on a $100,000 bond. His reported release is the latest custody development, but his current release conditions and next court date remain unavailable.
In a separate Tarrant County prosecution, a murder charge remains unresolved after jurors deadlocked, while the defendant received concurrent 10-year sentences for three evidence-tampering convictions.
