JAN. 31: Kaufman County prosecutor Mark Hasse is shot and killed while getting out of his car near the county courthouse. Authorities acknowledge they are investigating the possibility of a link between the slaying and the Aryan Brotherhood prison gang. However, they quickly add that to their knowledge, Hasse was not currently handling any cases involving Aryan Brotherhood members. They say that labeling the organization the focus of their probe would be premature. ccording to more than one news source. "Hasse had feared for his life and carried a gun to work, said a Dallas attorney who described herself as his longtime friend." FEB. 9: At a memorial service for Hasse, Kaufman County District Attorney Mike McLelland vows that the prosecutor’s killers will be brought to justice. MARCH 22: Authorities say the FBI is looking into whether Hasse’s slaying could have any connections to the March 19 slaying of Colorado prisons chief Tom Clements. A federal official said the suspect in Clements’ slaying, Evan Spencer Ebel, was a member of the white supremacist 211 prison gang. SATURDAY: McLelland and his wife, Cynthia Woodward McLelland, are found fatally shot at their home. Is Ebel somehow connected?

Six weeks later he kills the warden and then heads to Texas? When things like this happen in the time frame that they happen, I tend to go into my policemen-who-don't-believe-in-coincidences mode.
