Patricia and Kevin Whitaker
Thomas "Bart" Whitaker
Facts of the Crime:
On December 10, 2003, in a murder-for-hire scheme, Thomas "Bart" Whitaker hired Chris Brashear, his college roommate, to kill his family so he could inherit the estimated $1.5 million family estate. After Whitaker, his mother, Patricia Whitaker, and father and his 19-year-old brother, Kevin Whitaker, returned from a college graduation celebration dinner in Bart's honor, the family was shot down. His father survived the attack.
Whitaker was sentenced to death in Fort Bend County in March 2007.
